If he want 5 doors, then buy Forte. Sure won't go wrong.

It is like that. Even if you go to Malaysia or Thailand, Road Tax and insurance you cannot escape.

Motor Insurance premium (paid yearly) is dependant on:

- which company you go for

- what they cover you

- your age and driving experience

- Car make and model

- Category of car (Sports, MPV, Saloon, SUV etc)

- No of airbags (maybe)

- Engine Capacity (CC)

- No Claim Discount (NCD)

- Age of car

- Claims history

- Comprehensive coverage or 3rd party fire and theft (this is only for paid up car, ie. car fully paid for).

It all depends, but ranges from about $600 - $6000.

Road Tax (paid half yearly or yearly), is dependant on engine capacity and age of car.

For petrol cars,

a typical 1.6 litre car road tax about 760 per year.

a typical 2.0 litre car road tax about 1210 per year.

For Diesel cars only (not inclusive of commercial vehicles such as lorries, vans),

road tax is (original road tax for specified engine capacity) + (diesel tax of 1.5 times egine capacity).

lets say 1.6 litre diesel car, road tax is 760 + (1.25*1600) = $2760 (indicative figures)

2 litre diesel car, road tax is 1210 + (1.25*2000) = $3710 (indicative figures)

OK ok me start to blur. haha sorry ar..

First: So base on just the insurance, likely how much? Pay monthly, yearly or half a year?

Second: 1.6litres and 2.0litres car, what difference?

Third: Diesel cars and normal pertol cars, what difference also? Normally when i go those petrol station, i find that diesel fuel is cheaper than those 95 and 98. Why is that so?

Fourth: Fuel 95 and 98, what's the difference?

So sorry to trouble you! So many at one times. I did my research on google before, but don't know why all the information link me to those history of fuel zzz...

Thanks in advance!

Insurance, yearly, prices depend on how long you gotten your licence and what plans of insurance you sign for.

1.6 and 2.0 liters the difference is number.

Diesel car drink diesel. Petrol car drink petrol. That's the difference. Diesel is not as clean as normal petrol.

95 is clean, 98 is cleaner, and the difference is by two numbers. Your car can burn better and petrol per liter.

haha.. Bro, you are mistaken about one point "Diesel is not as clean as normal petrol".

In fact, the diesel technology has reached a stage that is even cleaner than the Ron98 petrol that we are using.

Most of the cars registered in Europe are diesel models, because they meet the stringent Euro V emissions standard (Japan still Euro 4). Diesel cars are fuel efficient, clean and cheaper to maintain. They have an overall higher torque (example CRDI Sonata and petrol sonata). Higher torque means better acceleration, which is why you see taxis flying off as soon as the traffic light turns green.

Just that our government still thinks differently, having the traditional mindset that petrol is cleaner.

If the diesel tax is scrapped, I will be the first one to buy a volkswagen diesel car.

Actually,

from what i observe, RON 92 / 95 / 98 / VPOWER (Shell context) is all equally clean. The only different between 92, 95 and 98 is the octane number. This is achieved by additives, which have been blended into the fuel that we pump at petrol stations.

Basically, VPOWER is also RON 98, just that they put in some special additives to make your car more powerful (tried before in malaysia, indeed a significant increase in power).

For fuel efficiency, the usual recommended grade of petrol for most cars will be RON 95, unless you driving COE car (RON 92) or sports car (Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini), then you need VPOWER.

Pumping 98 DOES NOT necessarily improve your fuel consumption. Just follow the car manual instructions and recommended fuel types and you will be good.
