Here i am talking about 2008 Hyundai Accent.
Better late than never. It looks like Paul post this up without any media support from Kah Bintang. Kah Bintang should give the media a test drive experience like how Proton did recently. Their product launches is a disaster as it only spread quietly thru word of mouth.

Green is a state of mind. If your car gets great mpg it is green. If is kept tuned up it is green. My car is green to me. It gets 40 mpg on the expressway, and 35 mpg overall and is rated a SLEV which is a super low emission vehicle.

I had rather be safe than green. Some of those cars are 100% crumple zone. While a small car may get a 5 Star frontal crash rating you cannot compare a 5 star Yaris to a 5 star bigger car or SUV. I think it's not as safe. The 5 star frontal crash rating applies to hitting a car of the same weight. So a 5 star Yaris would only be 5 star if crashing into another Yaris not if crashing into a heavier SUV. You can however compare 5 star ratings for side impact crashes.

Hi friends,
I guess the extra fuel economy of a Prius doesn't offset the extra $9-10 grand in price over a 5 year period. Also note that it's cheaper to drive a Mazda 3 for 5 years than a Prius for 5 years. I think it's funny that my V6 Accord almost gets as good as gas mileage as some of those cars. I think it's funny that my V6 Accord almost gets as good as gas mileage as some of those cars.

I fear that affordable and green do not go together. If you want green, which will cost a premium. There are many affordable sedans out there, but do not think any of them are green. Not to be facetious.I am be honest.
