That’s amazing economy considering the power. Enjoy the car!

My recommendation depends on how much driving experience you have. If you are a beginner, I wouldn’t recommend this. This is a decently powerful RWD luxury car, which means 1, it could be unforgiving for a beginner to control in low traction situations (e.g. snow/rain), 2, it has many technological assistances like sensors and a rear camera which a beginner should not rely on regularly when learning and improving (the less assistance your car has as a beginner, the better), and 3, as a beginner you are more prone to making minor damage such as scratches which will be painful with a nice car like this. I’m not sure about insurance costs though because for a car this age, only third party insurance is offered for me in HK. Plus, our insurance costs are affected vastly by the number of years you’ve had your license. I would recommend buying a cheap beater car first and drive it regularly, then after you’ve mastered it, you can get a proper nice car. If you are an experienced driver already (i.e. you are comfortable driving a car without any driver aids and will simply be *helped* by the aids in this car and not rely on them), then go ahead. Maintenance is like a normal Toyota (but consumables will be more expensive than a Lexus using a FWD platform like an ES) so you won’t ever have to worry about it. Hope this helps!

I got the CarPlay system from here: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003992580339.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.117.21ef1802buh1RO Eh, it’s ok. The main things I use it for are nav using Waze/Google Maps and for Spotify. For those purposes, it’s fine especially for the price. The CarPlay system integrates with the original OS and screen, but doesn’t work too well with the in-car controls since the cursor on the second screen also moves with the one on the CarPlay screen, and the joystick’s physical stops misalign with the cursor positions to click buttons on the CarPlay system. But Siri basically solves that issue when you want to control things when you’re moving, and you can always use your phone when stopped.

Thanks! You’re too kind :)

Its japanese

Those are pretty cool! We also get it in HK as the Corolla Rumion. Funky little things. What did you end up getting instead?

@Papa_POV parents gave me an 05 malibu SS, then when i saved my own money i bought a brand new 2017 civic ex-t (first owner 2 miles)

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Awesome! Enjoy the car :)

It was filmed in Hong Kong around areas in Tung Chung and Sai Kung!

That’s why you buy when they are still in production. What do you expect the value is what it goes for.

@ the expectation is for price to depreciate with time, mileage and usage….economics 101 and common sense.

I'm in the process of buying one since my 08 Highlander went out on me. Was looking at nothing but RAV4's, but came across this little wonder and pulled the trigger. Fingers crossed all goes well and I'm driving it in a few days!

Thanks!

@@Papa_POV the production quality of your videos are insane when are more coming?

Much appreciated! Each video takes about a week to produce (writing, filming, editing) which I can only spare time for during long holidays (e.g. summer holiday, Chinese New Year, etc.), so you can expect more to come within those periods.

@@Papa_POV ok that’s fire it’s worth waiting for these bro🔥

Thanks a lot!
