Good evening, everyone! My wife wants a car, and I’m thinking of getting her a Hyundai Stargazer. Are there any Stargazer owners here? How has it been so far? Would you recommend it?

Toyota veloz nicer imo

u/PipitBasar 5d ago

Rugged car but its $38k. Not within my budget 😭

The Perodua Alza is a rebadged Veloz based on the same DNGA platform. Everything almost the same just slightly different styling and finishing. Parts and repairs also might be cheaper as you have the option of easier sourcing from across the border.

Oh wow! 23k! Will check it out

Is Hyundai still a good investment?

u/PipitBasar 6d ago

I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking on Reddit. I saw that the Stargazer costs $22k, which doesn’t break the bank for me. It’s a 7 seater, so my wife can take our kid and her parents around. But I’m not sure if it’s a good car or if anyone has had any bad experiences with it.

why don't you spend a little more and get the Toyota Rush? it's more reliable

u/PipitBasar 6d ago

With the recent post regarding a man struggling with $600 salary to provide for wife n child. Sorry to say, common sense , you should not be having a wife and child at this point in time. Perhaps when things get better, you can consider having a family. But not now when you are barely surviving

without any further context, i feel like someone who earns $600 salary, he probably is someone who comes from the lower ses group. that group has a different mindset esp seeing how their parents make decision as a kid. so once they grow up, they follow in the same footstep. we genuinely need financial literacy implemented to kids in school. force a 30 mins class once a week and teach them simple budgeting. you'll be surprised at how most people cannot even do simple budgeting.

u/Panzercuck 6d ago

Well for a gaming / office work laptop if ACER , what would you recommend ?

1

u/Fun_Comparison_7960 6d ago

You can survey at solutech or eye computer for the acers they have today, I'm not sure what they have nowadays , it been awhile since I've surveyed laptops

u/Lem0n_Lem0n KDN 7d ago

Budget ?

u/Panzercuck 7d ago

1.8-2k ?

u/Lem0n_Lem0n KDN 7d ago

Pick any gaming laptop and it will be good enough for work and studies. For the price things are now, I really feel the pinch

u/DimensionOk4386 7d ago

Good am. Can anybody recommend the best place to drink Mont Blanc after so many cafes started selling it?

3

u/RepAddict101 6d ago

why don't you make an effort and start with the cafes nearest to you? everyone's taste is subjective.

u/Kaunterpertanyaan 6d ago

Mont Blanc only sell pen & bags /s

u/Poecillia 7d ago

Explain to me this funny looking beverage

1

u/SnooTangerines5384 7d ago

Just cos it uses oranges instead of lemons doesn't make it a funny looking beverage.

You.. God damn it..
