Hey, Ur back! I read that u got banned (again?).
Anyhow, I used to drive hybrid (Prius) and looking at the traffic in HK. I would recommend a hybrid car to anyone.
I liked the auris better then the ct200 during test drive. But prius offered more space. The Honda hybrid did not do it for me or my mrs.
Never tried any PHEV tho
In a word... 2015 Mazda 6 twin turbo diesel.
The motor is sooooooooooo good, so much torque, so little effort and it has very strong willing power delivery minus being busy or stressed out like a lot of small capacity buzzy petrol engines. Also you get all that while achieving 5.4 litres per 100km fuel consumption ( under normal driving conditions ).
It has a sport focused driving feel, so it should appeal to you re turn in sharpness, handling etc and enough very torquey power to be pleasant.
From memory they have 3 models available in HK, starting at $300K to $370K for the fully loaded model with the excellent bose infotainment system.
I quite like it for a variety of reasons, especially because it is ' not ' a BMW lol
Take one for a test drive Cho Bro, I reckon you'll quite enjoy the driving experience and it's pretty good value for money I feel.
Be warned though, Mazda HK is full of infantile sales droids so just filter your hearing when you visit the showroom, they can be a bit irritating as only HK retail staff know how..
PS:
I should point out that I dont own a Mazda product, so I am not being a fanboi or biased.
As much as I like VW's, I own a 2.0tdi DSG Jetta in Australia, I am sorry, but the Mazda is what I will replace the Vee Dub when its up for renewal in another year ( 5 years old by then ) The Mazda is the much better car considering they are similar in price ( in Aust ) when fully optioned. Also, I never much liked the suspension in the VW, it has very little suspension travel, prone to bottoming out and in my professional opinion is too soft. It's fine around town if your roads are billiard table smooth and well maintained, which isnt the case in HK.
