KUALA LUMPUR: With one more day left for the 2017 CarSifu Auto Show, the crowd has grown significantly today as they peruse the latest offerings while enjoying some of Gold Screen Cinema’s tasty ‘Shake Shake’ popcorn.

Although it may be the weekend, not everyone may have had the time to pop in, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t plan for the future.

For student Sam Cheng, 20, and his sister, Cheng Che Wei, 13, from Cheras, the auto show was just what they were looking for during their weekend outing. Sam’s parents have asked him to take a look at a few affordable cars.

“My father asked me to get a few brochures of different cars, so this was the perfect opportunity and that means I don’t need to visit all the different showrooms with such a wide variety (of cars) over here”, said Sam.

As for Fitri Ambros, a 30 year-old guest servicing manager who works in Kuala Lumpur, there’s always the next upgrade, who decided to pop in to the show after having watched a movie with his wife, Nor Akmal, a 28 year old finance executive from Kuala Lumpur as well.

“I bought a Honda Civic 1.8 last year and this is my first time seeming the KIA Optima GT. It’s really lovely and it provides so many features. The interior is simply amazing!,” said Fitri.

But, there are also those who enjoy the simplicity of being around cars as Chinese businessman Wang Qix Ing, 38, and wife Natalie Chan, 37, were taking a look at the latest Nissan Navara on display.

“I like cars in general, but I love pickup trucks,” stated Wang. “The Navara hs a quiet engine and the interior is not only fashionable, it’s also as comfortable as your favourite sofa in the house. I really wish I could test drive it right now.”

Those who book a car at the show stand a chance to win Sharp TV sets and ionisers. Free GSC popcorn will also be given out to the first 200 daily visitors until the end of the show.
