Obviously.. The only choice is to go for Proton Saga.
Unless you're looking for 1.6.

Or get the Proton Saga SE with Red, and respray it with Black.

RM1.7k ~ RM3k salary, surely can afford a Saga. Unless u are married.

Are you looking for a new car or a used car??

2007 / 2008 Honda City I-DSL, VTEC (USED)
2005 / 2006 Honda Jazz
2002 Honda CRV 2.0

You can look in to 2007/2008 Honda City, since it's not-so-old car. And it's fuel efficient car (I-DSL model)

Hi there, but what advise are you looking for?
H22A engine, 187HP..
Yes, you can afford it with H22A engine, but it's going to consume alot of petrol if you're kind of heavy right foot..
MY advice, why not try to consider the 07 08 City?

With your budget (max 40k), i'm afraid that u can get a 2003+ Honda City.. FYI, the I-DSi model is the more economical if compared to i-VTEC. Or if you don't mind, top up 8k and you can get a USED 2003+ Honda City (I-DSi) model. Or there's no other option, unless you're looking for OLD 1996 / 1997 / 2001 model Honda City.
RM2.2k is your net salary or what? with RM2.2k, yes you can afford a used Honda City with price range (47k ~ 5xk)
Let's assume you bought a USED 2003 Honda City (I-DSi), with the price tag RM49k and loan interest 4% and taking loans for 4 years, every month you have to pay around RM1.1k OR less for your car loan only. Excluding insurance, petrol, road tax, maintenance. But since it's 1496cc (counted as 1500cc), the roadtax won't cost much, and the insurance are actually depends on how much u insure your car, Petrol wise - it's I-DSi (L15A) model and i guess the fuel consumption will be far more better than i-VTEC <<This you have to confirm with I-DSi owners.

Maintenance wise - servicing, air filter, oil filter, engine oil, gearbox oil, brake pads, etc..

Hi, with your monthly salary RM1.8k, and you're looking for a new model Perodua/Proton.
Since you're 21 years old man, i would suggest you to look into the new Proton Saga.
Why? It is much more stable than Perodua MyVi when cruising at higher speed, it's 1.3ltr, it's not a hatchback & can carry more item/luggage/people than Myvi, more suitable for a MAN.

or

You can opt for the Perodua Viva or Myvi.
But for me, it's an overprice/overrated car.
Not to mention the looks is feminine too sweat.gif

Both also national made cars, don't put high expectation on Quality. Of course, as they said Perodua has better QC than Protons, but i am unsure about this since i don't have any experience on these car manufactures.

Final advice : Test drive both of the car, and buy the car which make u feel better. thumbup.gif

Hope this will helps you guys on choosing what car, take it as a advise & remember final choice is always in your hand.

I don't think Honda/Toyota got bring in any NEW FI car with 5/6Speed transmission.

Toyota Caldina doesn't comes with Manual transmission..
Honda doesn't have any FI cars with 5 speed / 6 speed manuals.

Only choices, Toyota Hilux thats comes with 2.5ltr Turbodiesel engine, 5 speed manuals, 5 seater. Within your budget, u can get Full spec already.

Or try consider Nissan Navara, it comes with 2.5ltr turbodiesel engine, 174PS, 403Nm torque. And there's a rumor that Nissan is bringing in 6 Speed manual transmission for this, or already does.

I would prefer Honda Accord or Toyota Camry if it's family car..

Unless it's for daily working adult, Honda City, Honda Civic, Toyota vios/altis will be sufficient.

Toyota & Honda has higher resale value if compare to continentals / other makes in Malaysia.

My votes go for Peugeot 308 VTI (2009 new).

Maintenance wise, should not cost you that much. Peugeot 308 wins alot of car award.

While Alfa Romeo, unless u're looking for turbocharged version.. MAFIA looking car, but maintenance wise will going to cost more than the Peugeot 308 VTI. And there's not much Alfa car around, spare parts wise might be expensive. But i might be wrong too.

Go for Peugeot 308 VTi, since it's under 100k and it's a NEW car, incase u don't like a used car. wink.gif

Hope this helps.
