Actually I was thinking of starting a new thread "Be careful" with license plate numbers of all the (unfortunately) not good condition Rextons I have seen so far. tongue.gif Maybe will save other Bros (and the Sifus also) some time and trouble!

Bro Teerex comment on the one we viewed on Tuesday: "Horrible"

Still looking though! smile_thumbup.gif


Good idea, perhaps you can add those car plate at your signature. Go to My Controls and then under My Profile > Edit Signature. Your signature will appear below of all your posts.

Did you try searching at car dealers around Batu Caves? I understand several dealers there specialised in Rexton and other 4X4.

The difference is quite significant, check out the details at http://www.carsplusp...on_rx_290_s.php vs http://www.carsplusp...270_xdi_awd.php

i. RX290 is using older Merc generation diesel engine that is not running common rail. It's HP is also much lower, if I remember correctly it is about 120HP as compared to RX270XDI at above 160+ HP. RX290 Top speed only 150+ km/h and acceleration 0~100 is 16.4 sec.

ii. It is running 4 speed transmission.

iii. It's engine compartment does not looks as neat and organised as RX270XDI with engine cover.

iv. On the outlook, the front metal grill is smaller.

The ads photo interior looks pretty nice but try to request for photo of the engine compartment before viewing. The older model has more complaints related to engine and transmission, that's why RX270XDI was made to replaced all the different engine model.

Hi Bro ntc2000,

on the appearance it is almost identical, even the gadget inside the car.
rx290 comes with 4 speed auto gearbox, rx270 comes with 5 speed.

rx290 : http://www.carsplusp...xton_rx_290.php

rx270 : http://www.carsplusp...ton_270_xdi.php

the power different is a lot and rx270 can be easily remap to increase the horsepower and torque. Go test drive both then you will immedietly notice the difference.

When are you planning to get yours? If budget allowed, try to get a 2003 RX270XDI (quite rare) that is probably around RM50k.

The ultimate measure of man is not what he stands for in moments of comfort or convenience, but where he stands at times of challenges and controversy.
