Kotseng latest or outdated? Which one?

[leopaul]

I don't really care if some people prefer latest cars with some latest desings and some prefer old outdated ones. Meron po ba kayong point na which car design ay bagay sa mga car addicts?

New Cars:



or

Outdated cars:




Decide nga kung kayo ay mahilig sa mga latest o sa mga outdated na kotse...

As for me, I prefer the designs of latest-generation models, and debuted ones... Because IMO, new is better than retro. Or should I say, I'm the anti-retro type?

[OldSchoolHack]

Outdated (or older) cars require more maintenance and thus require a gearhead or a car addict more than a new car.

Plus the streets here in our country is not really good for new cars. In a short period of time (unless your car is kept and not used) your new car will have all the scars cars get when used in the (dangerous!) streets of the Philippines.

Add to this the post-2000 cars from Toyota suck. Big time. Older Toyotas are very nice to own, easy to maintain and overall very reliable.

But if you are a common car owner not wanting the headache or the challenges of car mods, maintenance and upgrades for older cars then by all means a new car is for you.

some cars kasi are special

kahit old model na, they have this desireability about them

example is a Mercedes built by Porsche

i'm not a Mercedes fanatic but i know some Mercedes fanatics and they just love that car



wiki:

Between 1991 and 1995, Mercedes-Benz sold a sport version of the W124, the Mercedes-Benz 500 E, created in close cooperation with Porsche. Each 500 E was hand-built by Porsche, being transported back and forth between the Mercedes plant and Porsche's Rossle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen during assembly — taking a full 18 days to complete each model. Design began in 1989 and into 1991. Between 1992 and 1994, Mercedes/Porsche built a total of 10,359 500 E's (1990 — 46 units; 1991 — 2,566 units; 1992 — 4,416 units; 1993 — 1,596 units; 1994 — 1,735 units)[1]. Called '500 E' through model year 1993, for model year 1994 it was face-lifted along with the rest of the range and renamed to 'E 500'.Of these, 1505 of the "super" sports sedans were imported into the USA between 1992–1994, or roughly 500 cars per year of importation.

then there are those who love the E30 BMW M3


kanya kanya yan eh

you may think "why the hell are those people so hung up on those old cars?"

maybe some people just develop an attachment to some cars

others don't form attachment to cars and always upgrade to new models when new models come out

pero as years pass and you experience owning many cars, definitely there will be one or two cars that you will fondly remember and wish you hadnt sold

maybe you would even go search for and buy a used one and restore it

i know a guy who has a love affair with the old Honda EG hatch

ilan na ang binili niya

he just loves that car

[renzo_d10]

Ako if I had the sources and the money of course, I`d buy a KE70 and restore it.

I don't know. That old car still gets my taste.

Mahirap na kasi magrestore ng old cars at magastos. Kaya each time na may ilalagay ka dun, mapapangiti ka eh ... lalo na pag natapos mo. ;)

It depends on what you want and what you're used to.

It depends on your desire.

It doesn't matter whether it's harder to find parts (if you like oldies) or those parts and maintenance cost a fortune (if you like new-ies)... whatever you desire, you will invent reasons to support your decision.

Many enthusiasts like old cars because of a perceived "honesty" or "immediacy" compared to newer cars. They make you feel more connected to the act or essence of driving. Which is why an E30 BMW M3 or a Honda NSX is viewed as iconic.

Personally. I'm half-and-half. Whether I like "oldies" or new cars depends on the car in question. When my car was new, I preferred new cars. Now that it's old, I prefer old cars. Simply because I like my car.

There are some old cars I like... some new ones I like, too. And it's not the age that determines what I like. It's merely whether the car is a good car or not. ;)

yep

there are driving enthusiasts who want the raw driving experience

newer cars have electronics that reduce the raw driving experience

newer cars insulate the driver

driving enthusiasts don't want to be insulated

[foresterx]

i like both, latest and outdated.

pero favorite ko ito:

outdated:






latest:

[Gerbo]

There are keeper cars. There are iconic cars. And cars you just simply loved.

The first may be due to its being revolutionary. The second because of desirability. And the third may be just attachment because it "stood for something" in your life.

[oliver1013]

Dito lang sa Pinas daming mahlig sa oldies, minsan mas malaki pa nagagastos nila para i restore or i maintain yung kanilang oldies kesa bumili ng bago.

[Burai]

Because IMO, new is better than retro. Or should I say, I'm the anti-retro type?

i believe you're just the anti-retro type that you were talking about hehe just kidding

well for me, i believe dun sa quote before na Newer doesn't always mean better

[xanor]

I prefer old model car than the latest model. Mas malakas ang dating ng old model design than the latest. Kung titingnan mo new models ngayon madali ka magsawa but when you see an old car that is well maintained hindi ka magsasawa tingnan. Parang kanta, maganda pa rin pakinggan yung mga old songs sa panahon ngayon kaysa sa mga bago na after a month or a week di na nice...heheh. IMO.

[energie_mgt]

I prefer both,kung kaya ng budget.

[aejhayl17]

honestly, i love old school! its just that im so amazed when sometimes i see 30-50 yr old classic cars driving around the metro, and wondering how did the owners managed to restore or just even keep the engine firing .

but, its a 50-50 score. just like sir niky said, it depends on what and how i feel for my car.

if i were to "build" a vehicle. i would put on oldschool styling and modern functionality together. hhhhmmm Porsche 911(any year)? never gets outdated imho

[donbuggy]

For me, some of the older cars look better than their newer versions.

Examples:
Toyota Corolla (1987 - 1992)
Honda City (2000 - 2002)

The new cars look either bloated (because of the higher beltlines and the melted butter shape) or over-styled.

[lui]

iba iba din talaga like ung galant, ung 91 gti malakas dating saken kesa sa current model. ung camry naman yung current gen lang ang maganda for me. ok din kasi mag ayos ng luma like corolla 91model. mga 200k lang lilingunin na oto mo kasama pa makina dun. sa 200k na un simpleng 96 civic lang ang mabibili. so depende talaga...

[Type 100]

One area the newer cars generally win out on is interior design, dashboard layout and ergonomics. As much as I loved my old 1999 SX8 Honda City 1.5, I definitely agree that its front footwells could be too restrictive, its switch layout crude, and its driving position imperfect. That's because it's a recycled EF Civic from the late 1980s.

There's a point however where cars can be TOO new, TOO good, TOO pampering. I consider myself a proper driving enthusiast, and I want the feeling of honesty and participation in the act of driving - that there was my own contribution in doing a fast lap time, or just a fun drive through my favorite roads. To that effect, I don't want things like slop in the steering, voodoo in the throttle modulation, or dullness in the suspension's responses. Unfortunately that's where new cars can interfere with the pleasure of driving and reduce it to a task you do with an appliance.

I think cars in the late 1990s were generally the best. They played that blend of new and old, mechanical and cushy quite well - without excessive nannying or isolation. They were modern, but still felt organic.

But that's just me.

[digitel]

Latest or Outdated? Hmmm.. It really depends on your perspective, I prefer new ones in terms of safety, but in terms of style, it is relative.

[renzo_d10]

I liked the vehicles that were released in the 90's. They were big and the styling is just fine. Not too flashy. Simple ... that's the word to describe them.

It still depends though on the persons taste and wants.

[crave]

in terms of safety and technology, of course latest na

pero kung sa style- subjective para sa akin (eg. IMO, the looks of previous generation Honda CR-V is far better than the current)

aray.

sa totoo lang ang ganda ng oldies eh yung maintenance. napaka dali, walang hirap. karamihan ng parts basic lang. puro mechanical, konti lang electricals (yan ang problem sa new cars puro nalang electronics)

yung mga bago naman, pagdating sa design, kakaunti nalang ang masasabi mong "maganda". Like Genesis Coupe, masyadong Korean ang design nya, pero I want to own one. hehe.

at isa pang advantage ng mga new cars ngayon yung mga hi-tech features. tatlong gabi akong hindi makatulog dahil sa panoramic sunroof ng Tucson ko :rofl:. ang bad side naman, pag binaha or may nasira. mahal na ang spare parts.
