Hello hello, first post and what luck to find this topic!!!!!

1. Brand:Ford Focus (hatch)/Mondeo or Mazda 3 (sedan)/6...... or the Ford Focus RS!!!!!!!!!!! 

2. Budget: 100000 - 140000

3. New or used: new but open to used units if maintained in good condition.

4. Features: Good at cornering and good acceleration(especially at green lights) and still fuel effiecient

5. Transmission:Either also can; if the auto is better than manual then would prefer it. Also curious if can install aftermarket dual clutch.

6. NA or FI ?: Not sure if FI is available for these but would love to know what FI experience is like

7. Tyres: Not sure what to fill in here.....how woud run-flats affect the vehicle's performance and maintenance?

8. Remarks:What should the maintenance costs be like? Which has better cabin quality?

i don't mind at all. there won't be loan involved. my only concern with >10yo car is FC. is it gonna be ok? i still think kelisa is the safer option in terms of FC & maintenance cost, am i right to say this?

does the latest vios have the paddle shifters?

1. Brand - Toyota and Mazda
2. Budget - 150k
3. New/Used/Unreg- preferably unregistered/new
4. Specs. full spec
5. Transmission. some form of manual transmission mix with auto e.g. paddle shifters or tiptronic, but manual is welcomed
6. NA or FI - preferably FI, NA is welcomed
7. Type. - preferably sedan but 2 seater and coupe is welcomed.
8. Remarks. - Nice to look at, nice to drive and can at least go really really fast.

Ok, I'm looking to buy a car in several months, so I'm starting to do some research.

I have 3 type of cars in mind:
1. Peroduo Kelisa (A) Used. 2005-06. Scouted price: around RM 25k.
2. Honda City i-DSi (A) Used. 2004. Scouted price: around RM 48k.
3. Perodua Myvi (A) Brand New. Price: I heard it's around 48k?

The reason why I shortlisted the Kelisa, it would be because of the affordability. I don't have to burdened myself with huge car loan and can pay it off faster. I would probably use this car for a shorter term, maybe 5 years before buying a better car.

However, I'm also thinking of getting a more reliable car for longer use, perhaps up to 10 years before I consider changing to a better car.
I'm considering a brand new Perodua Myvi or a used Japanese car (Honda or Toyota) for this reason. I'm torn between a brand new car (Myvi comes into mind. I don't think I want a Proton) with my 50k max budget, or a used Japanese Car (Honda City comes into mind).
So what should I go for if I want decide to pay more? Brand new Myvi or used City? The downside of this is the 23-25k price difference compared to used Kelisa. This means bigger car loan and longer payment period. It can be quite a burden.

So, can anyone give me any advice? In addition to that:
i) How is the maintenance like for these 3 cars? Which one would be low maintenance and cost me less generally, and in the long run?
ii) I skimmed through this thread and read about the supposed "Honda gearbox problem". What is this? Does it affect 2004 City?
iii) How do I check the engine when buying a used car? I mean, I'm really a noob when it comes to car stuff.
iv) Any other suggestion for a max 50k budget to buy a reliable car that can serve me well for 10 years at least?

Additional info: I will probably travel a lot from house to work within Klang Valley area.

I'd appreciate it if my questions are answered!

3. New/Used/Unreg : New for Proton & perodua, Used for Toyota & honda

4. Specs : chin chai. 1.5 or 1.6 oso can la, not for racing = =". as long as its fuel efficient. not too basic line la. i wont mind high line if budget is met

5. Transmission : driving in KL. so logically, its auto. but i wont mind manual

6. NA or FI : 

7. Type : 

8. Remarks : basically, i'm looking for a dependable and fuel efficiency car. i work for a bank, and always go out meeting up customers all the time around klang valley.
actually i dont mind 2nd hand for gen2 or persona or myvi.

hi guys need ur opinion....plz help me decide...

2. Budget : RM35K - 45K
3. New/Used/Unreg : Undecided
4. Specs : Any
5. Type : Any

5. Transmission. manual
6. NA or FI ? = nA
7. Type. = hatch
8. Remarks. = 17x,xxx kms , clean.

Option:2

___

Things to consider:
I'm in ozzie so they'r both same price range,
but fto needs touchup on exterior/paint job, and fto parts very hard to find/expensive.
labour cost very expensive here.

i like the fto looks & 200hp on 1.3t kerb weight.
but on long run, civic 1.6l 4cyl. cheaper to maintain, good on fuel, cheaper on registration, cheaper on insurance (vs. fto's 2.0l v6 import)
160hp on 1.1t kerb weight, not too bad also.

which one should i go for? or, which one will you get? and why? thnx.

I dunno which model to take. anyone drove a peugeot 407 before? is it any good with any problems?
maintenance high? what about the parts? last i heard few years back for parts to come in, it takes about 3 months or so, does this still happen?

As for BMW, i am looking for the year 2000 to 2001 model. some people still selling for RM69k. is it still possible to look for about 65k and below? i heard their common issue is their gearbox. is it true? coz as far as i know the gearbox could cost about 4k >.< Oh, I would prefer either white or silver color... HID light is a value add

i'm kinda torn in between these 2 cars as i think it's still within my budget. can anyone help suggest?

@travis_ckf: thanks for ur assist, but im trying to avoid using perodua/proton due to their reputation, got any other suggestions other than that? *crossing fingers* as im not a car enthusiast, but enough to know that malaysian branded cars have bad reputation

sad..nobody reply my enquiries after posting same thing twice..nvm...

see my car can probably sell like 18-20k i'm willing to top up with cash till maybe 4-5k

then loaning for 45k should bring me up my budget to 65-70k no?
coz my budget for either these 2 cars are about max of 70k...

yea thought about it too. but i wanna buy 100k car, i might as well opt for mitsubishi lancer GT2.0 or even honda civic modulo...at least i get a bigger car
but true la 308 has turbo...but thing is, its unpractical to have a car which drinks petrol like a horse haha
