Maybe it’s a need, or maybe it’s simply a want, whatever the reason is, there’s no denying that owning a car is on top of almost every Malaysian’s list of life goals. But while the journey – and shopping around – can be exciting, it’s equally as daunting.
That’s why it’s important that you head over to the showroom to see and feel the car in person! And just for the fun for it, we’ve gone and listed the potential types of car buyer you are…
#1 The one that ‘sees’ with their hands more than their eyes

You’re probably the one that prioritises how the interior of a car feels and looks more than the exterior. Which means you probably spend a majority of your car shopping time feeling up every inch of the inside of the car. You love that smooth leather, don’t you? We know you do.
#2 The one that did his/her homework
via GIPHY
You’ve watched and read every single review that’s available on the Internet and you’ve looked up and compared specifications from every car in the segment you’re looking to buy. You can probably recite everything from horsepower and torque figures to chassis measurements without even thinking about it. Good job on putting in all the hard work!
#3 The one that’s concerned about safety

Yes, the car looks good, the price is right, and it drives well, but, how many airbags are we talking about here? What are the safety technologies built into the car? You’re perhaps the most mature car buyer of the lot because you’re able to make decisions based on safety rather than looks.
#4 The one that lives by the motto, “If it looks good, it must be good”

It might not be the smartest criteria to base your to-buy-or-not-to-buy decision on, but you have a firm grip on the fact that it’s completely up to you. After all, if you’re going to buy a car and drive it for many, many years to come, you want to enjoy looking at it, right?
#5 The one that looks for the most bang for his/her buck

Interior space, boot space, engine capacity, and fuel consumption, those are the things that matters most to you when choosing a car. Whether or not you need that extra space is irrelevant, you want more for your money, and there’s absolutely no shame in that! Oh, of course interest rate on loans and freebies matter too.
Now, if you happen to be only one of the five types listed above, you’ll probably have an easy time looking for a car that fits you, but if you happen to embody all five types of car buyers then you might be in for a long search.
Well, at least that was the case back then before Volvo introduced its latest Plug-in Hybrid, the S90 T8 Twin Engine.
It is by far the best-packaged luxury sedan offering class-leading hybrid power with an output of 407HP and 640Nm of torque, plus state-of-the-art active safety technologies including Pilot Assist – a semi-autonomous drive system that automatically brakes, accelerates, and steers your Volvo and helps alleviates stress during heavy traffic.
The quality and attention to detail extends beyond what’s under the hood and into the cabin with Scandinavian inspired design that infuses high quality materials with clever ergonomics. Examples of this could be seen in the interior appointments – from the hand-crafted Orrefors crystal gear lever to the fully-supportive comfort seats wrapped in fine Nappa leather. The S90 T8 Twin Engine conveys luxury that is intuitive instead of ostentatious.
Finally, the icing on the cake, it comes with an attractive 0.9% interest! We’ve said it at the beginning of this article, and we’ll say it again, you have to get yourself to a showroom to see and test drive the car in person!
