200hp Auto/Tiptronic/Shiftronic Sedan?

[teo1957]

I'm looking to buy a sedan with a bit of power (upwards of 200hp), with auto transmission preferably tiptronic/shiftronic, below RM100k. Any recommendations?

1. Mitsubishi Galant VRG - cannot find in Malaysia?
2. Mitsubishi Evo X - RM100k more expensive.
3. Toyota Altezza - not quite torquey.
4. Mercedes Benz C270 CDI - monster torque, superb fuel economy, but more maintenance points than a JDM.
5. Toyota Caldina - not a sedan.
6. Mitsubishi Evo GTA - too boy racer.

my choice would be Galant VRG or the Evo X auto.
i know the galant vrg is not available here, but can u get the evo auto here?

Evo auto quite a number in the market: whether Evo X SST or Evo 7.5 GTA.

I'm hearing only good things about Volvo. Personally I remember being smoked by a S80 at NKVE when driving my Perdana V6 twin turbo last 4 years... is the S80 any good bro?

I have a Airtrek now which I don't think is a wagon, but a SUV or crossover. My wife didn't complain, but I can see that she's a bit reluctant to drive it: the confidence and fun factor is not there.

So, I'm looking for a bit of a tourer sedan: a quiet ride that I can drive without stress in the city and still can tour for long journeys down the highways. Think of it as the poor man's Maserati Quattroporte...

Airtrek is a SUV.. because u have to tiptoe (jengket) to get in.. right?

while Caldina.. open door & just sit down..

i think evo x is way out from his budget right unless you do loan then no problem lah
but i think evo 7.5 gta is the way to go can pay cash and just drive no commitments

Yes Evo 7.5 GTA is inside my budget but it's a tad harsh to be a grand tourer car. Any other recommendations bro

actually i think its quite smooth i mean in factory form and super comfortable has all the comforts of most sedan cars you can find out there
which part of the cars attributes do you feel are a tad harsh??

Comparing it with executive sedans, I think noise level is higher and similar to the Airtrek which I own now. In time, long distance driving will be loose comfort...

if your referring to exhaust noise level then that can be reduced quite easily by changing muffler or reducing the diameter of the exhaust piping or by adding mid mufflers can make it really really quiet
for engine noise i guess you can improve on the soundproofing of the car
basically where there is a will there is a way but i can tell thats not the kinda car your looking for seeing as how you already have an airtrek
how about a honda accord very very nice and smooth quiet drive

I really really love the new CL7 but it comes with a manual. Need suggestion for 200hp+ auto. I have an EG6 also and love it but I don't think I want it if it comes with an auto, it's just not the same.

Ohhh I think you mean Airtrek need to climb to get inside coz too high? No need leh... Airtrek not modified off-road Hilux Surf... summore mine lowered with adjustables but when cornering it's just not the same with sedan... somehow I feel if I love cornering I won't be able to get the same feeling with an elongated car... what is it called... body roll?
