Continental cars
-
Hi to all brothers and sisters.....
i always hear bad comments on continental cars.... saying its very ex, plus spare parts difficult to get... is it really so?
is it really not worth it to get a continental car? -
Heavy engines, heavier car doors and heavy handling. But still, we love em'.
-
double
-
no its worth it. they are simply... lovely!
also remember the world's fastest production car is a continential car -
lol i heard that japanese cars are very light as compared to continental cars... i also heard that in germany the expressways have different speed limits, one section could be 120kmph... another section could be 160kmph... lol.... i'm guessing because cars in europe have to withstand the long distance and harsh weather conditions, they are built more solid to cope with it.... just my thoughts though...

If u can afford to buy a conti car, u wun bother so much bout worth or not worth it cos conti cars are in a different class... Ride quality and comfort are so much better than Jap or Korean cars, u pay for that man

hi boss, if u r buying continental car, don't forget to buy a chauffer too hor...

continental cars tend to have sweet sexy voluptuous looks and individualistic flavour, so u need time to get in touch with them..
japanese cars are more direct, straight to the eye. either u love it or u don't, haha... -
Yes.... it is more expensive to get spare parts as most shops in Singapore do not deal with continental cars..... most of the time you will need to import the parts and it will take some time and of course money..... as compare to jap cars ,continental is more expensive and lack of nice body shapes.....Originally posted by extr0vert:Hi to all brothers and sisters.....

My dad used to own an R21 and many problems within the 1st 3 years... eventually a fatal one, the water is leaking from a crack in the engine cast... Don't ask me how this happens since the car was hardly used and yet this could happened...Originally posted by extr0vert:the renaut clio looks nice to me.....

An ex-colleague of mine was also driving Megane and he had to send in his car for part replacement within the first 12 months... luckily under warranty else will costs a bomb. When questioning the mechanics, the reply was "you buy the car for safety purpose not for the durability"...
Never will i buy a continental car again! -

Generally for continental cars :

Better sound insulation
Better ride & handling
Safety
Well & uniquely designed and classy Interiors
Minus
FC higher
High maintenance cost
Expensive spare parts
Low Resale value
"Leftovers" from conversion from left to right hand drive. -

Continental cars- my choice! Smooth on the road too!
Well, at the very least, you dun have to worry when you get into accidents as they are more solid than Jap or Korean cars... -
Generally the continential car body is solidly built and no one could question about it.. but not the part which is not built to the same standard for durablity...
New car does not means ok. I saw a unknown neighbour last night with his new Jaguars (less then 3 mths) already broken down with the electronic gadgets, like short circuit problem in the electronics -door cannot lock, car can no longer starts again after switch off, only high beams is available for lighting, etc
A hokkien saying: pai4 liao4 li4 yei4 hao4 (when it break down you will cry) -
u should buy the old model volkswagon beetle or mini cooper....the engine sound is cool n very safe even when u crash into a lorry
-
Even if its a continental car, you will have to check the country of manufacture also, coz it makes a big difference!
Cheers. -
