My sis is 26 years old and looking for her working car (also same as me, sales ppl) with budget around 50K++, the following is the brand & car in her mind.


2nd hand
Toyota Vios G spec (2004)
Honda City VTEC (2004)
Nissan Sentra 1.6 (2004/05)

New
Proton persona 1.6 M/H-Line (manual/AT)

Remarks: Auto/Manual is doesn’t matter for her as long as SAVE OIL.

She did not consider about proton saga blm & myvi, since both cars are too common & under power for her. ( as what she told me )

As what we always consider is FC, performace,maintenance cost…etc. she travels a lot in Highway & City, sometimes even outstation…a reliable car is very important for her… nanti d car break down suddenly she also don’t know how especially kat outstation…

Previously she was thinking to buy viva 660 by cash so that can jimat interest.  But end up she had changed her mind & increase budget for her next ride. Coz viva 660 is under power for her
Please advice this lady. With little money but demand a lot . Thanks

As you know I'm also hunting for second hand vios but fuel consumption is not as low as you imagine. I survey around the vios thread and I found that with current price of fuel, RM50 = 350-400km(depends on your driving style). While my saga auto(1992) can get RM50=300-330km. If you are a sales person and want to have very low fuel consumption, maybe get a new car and install NGV. I heard it can reach RM50 = 1000km.
