My cheeky colleagues uses my table to compare girls... look at their new and improved table.. hahahaha

Forgot to mention that my colleagues had a side bet when I started my quest for my new car.



Without telling me, they said that I'd choose from either of the 3 options below:

1) Waja
2) Myvi
3) Don't change car

Well, now that I have changed my car, I can say loudly, Tak Nak to Proton! hehehehehe

Sentra Vs Optra

On the day the chevy went to see the doctor (1000Km service), I drove the Sentra, I could really feel the difference…

Here's a summary of my Personal Comparison

Comfort level:
1) Sentras fabric seats were hot and uncomfortable compared to Optras cool and comfy leather seats. In fact, the carpet texture of the seats felt pokey compared to the smooth leather seats

2) Air cond of the sentra is too cold… I have to manually turn it on and off as the blower is not auto climate control like the Optra… The optra gives an very comfortable overall cool feeling when driving

3) Leg room, Sentra has a very low seat, making me feel very cramp. Optra’s seat is higher, making it a more pleasant and comfortable drive as the seating is more ergonomic to my legs.

Sound system:
1) Sentra has good 2 Din 4 speakers surround sound system but there’s no disc changer. And there are no remote controls at the steering wheel. I had to reach out to the player to select/change songs.

Noise Level and "Pick-Up" Power:
1) Sound isolation - Sentra does seem to have more pick up power with each depression of the fuel pedal but it could be because of the noise from the engine and gear that I am hearing each time I rev the car. With the optra, I don’t hear much of the engine and outside sound. Accoridng to my colleague LWee, japanese cars are designed with lower torque power. Also the sound isolation is bad compared to the euro class automobiles. He even mentioned that the sound isolation of the Civic 1.8 is pitiful as it's made from lighter materials. (However, lighter materials equals to less petrol consumption and better acceleration).

2) Engine "pick-up" - Sentra is a lighter car, and have better pick up power. Optra doesn’t feel like it has that much pick up despite higher capacity (1.8 compared to 1.6). However, this could be the quiet surrounding of an Optra which makes the feel of going 80km/h different from going 80km/h with a Sentra (very noisy and windy sound).
