What cars do you Rolex owners drive?

[BRABUS]

Wow, is that a M series Bmw ?
Btw yesterday took my frd's 335 convertible out for a spin at orchard gudang,
i must say i'm very impress with the 3.0L twin turbo , the car doesn't hesitate to go , even just by tapping gently on the pedal .
Too bad above my budget , else might consider.

Have tried my Saab against the older model Audi A4 and A6, no fight my Saab won.

Have not tried against the newer model Audi A4 though. But love the different setting for ride comfort on the Audi but than again the Audi is at least 20-30k more than the entry level Saab.

Not sure what the price is on a Saab 2.8l V6 but seriously don't think the A4 can fight against this beast in terms of power.

yes.....Saab's a better performer and nicer in appearance, audi A4 is only nicer in the interior.
IMO saab 93 is a better car and i really miss my 93...

For us it was as close a comparison as possible, was a A4 1.8Ti vs the Saab 2litre variant of the X-Wind. Not very much into the power game, just enough to get things going will be fine , we're more for comfort and such.

In that case, I would think an Audi would be better in terms of comfort given it has different options for ride quality that can be changed with a touch of a button.

After reading this, may have to revisit Saab again, we're considering a second car so was comparing the Audi A4 to the Saab X-Wind and found that the Audi packs more punch. Hmmz

Alamak, I had to go and check with my staff what the meaning of "ah sia kia". After they told me, I totally agree.

In e past due to work commitment, i do travel pretty often to Malaysia. I've the upmost respect for their drivin style and skill.

being a malaysian...after owning a car back home it totally turned me off. a car have always been a liability and being it a necessity back home, it totally sucked off more than 50% of your pay in installments, insurance, maintenance, petrol, toll(ERP) and road tax and etc...

ever since i came over to SG and not having to own a car i find i have extra to indulge on other stuff and also staying in central, kinda defeats the whole purpose of having to own one since it's convenient.

although i would say the first 6 months here was a torture being having to adjust to taking public transportation again. your time being tied down to the the schedule of the trains and buses. also not to mention can't go anywhere for supper or just joy riding.

i always laugh whenever my sg colleagues complain about jams and driving habits of the locals. it's nothing compared to the situation back in malaysia. also do not dis malaysian women drivers...especially KL girls.. they can drive harder..park better than most males over here.

When you are looking for the Saab, check out the new 'ALL WHEEL DRIVE' model, think it is called XWD. 2.8L V6 engine!!!

The turbo on the car is a Light Pressure type and kicks in later unlike a WRX or something like that.

Errr... you mean the LPT kick in earlier at low revs (1.8k rpm if I remember correctly) while WRX using big turbos so they will only kick in at about 3.5k rpm. So got turbo lag...

[Vedder007]

Yes, Saab is not the kind of car most Singaporeans would buy coz Mercedes and BMW have more brand power.

I did alot of research before buying it and it also helped that I know people who have been driving Saab's for years.

My Saab 9-3 has almost 200hp(after a legal factory chip upgrade) and the engine is excellent. The turbo on the car is a Light Pressure type and kicks in later unlike a WRX or something like that.

Car handles very well and after driving Japanese cars for so long this was a great bonus. Put the car on Sports mode and the pick up gets much better.

Overall a great car, you can do 200km/h & up on the highway in Malaysia and you feel safe as it holds very well. The car is big on safety as well.

When buying the Saab, I was also considering the BMW 3 but chose the Saab because it was slightly cheaper and I was getting more stuff for the money spent. Truly a pleasure to drive.

Thanks. Will certainly bear this review in mind when I commence car hunting in 2 years. Meanwhile, no SAAB for me but got SUBmariner.
