hi posting on behalf of brewoe_1988
which should he choose? parents getting new car so he gets to choose the leftovers.

1 myvi which he's usin now ezi (09)
2 waja (7years-tip top condition-family car)

which should he choose?

-myvi speed sucks
-myvi stability sucks
-myvi brand new
** -still have to pay for either car **
-waja needs some reparing (est 4k tops)
-waja is fast (er then myvi)
-confused?!!

left over???
means the car belongs to his family...
myvi for sure la.. modify it la.. haha
7 years old waja is really old... and it's proton...
quality is a doubt.

modify myvi nid to wait waranty period over and 1.3cc mod can get till 1.6cc power??some more my dad apply for ewp for myvi
the waja mileage is 91k now,everything is ok interior is clean, just exterior need repaint,replace engine mouting ,and change the suspension
if i choose waja warranty over i can svc outside and parts can choose and cheaper???correct me if wrong.....

Lancer 2GT
Come with Nappa Leather stock,flappy pedal,very good chassis and suspension,also a lot of leg room for the back seat

hehe i would not dare to poison him about vellfire
somemore the car will cost much much more and we could not afford it for now
anyway i would poison him to get starex since it brand new and have 5 years warranty or 300,000 km
does anyone know what usually the warranty cover?
thanks for the info about the underpower


p/s my merc w210 e200k meter pops out esp and abs and ask me to visit workshop
what usually is the problem what does it effect

haha.. I am asking u to poison him to get the Starex... Not the vellfire with 300k tag...

Better get your w210 serviced a.s.a.p... Try to check with your service manual to find out what does ESP means.. it is dangerous to drive a car witnout abs, especially doing hard braking without abs.

most of the time is myself only. Sometimes with will be with one or two person. Personally I've bad experienced with Korean car.. I used to drives a inokom atos and Kia sephia - the underpowered engine and massive fuel consumption. My job nature requires me to go out for meeting quite often, so I would want to get something that is good for FC.

anyone can give some advise on getting which car is better??? parents buying new car next year gets to choose between:

1. myvi ezi yr 2009 (abs+airbag+ba)
2. waja 4g18 yr 2001 91k mileage (no airbag+abs+ba, need some repairing est rm5k tops)

both car nid to pay back father when i work next time.....

THANKs!

Stick with the 2009 Myvi.
Or if you don't mind the maintenance / services / repairing fee, then go for Waja then.

Btw, the answer isn't obvious? Who would want to drive a car without the basic safety equipment? Like abs, airbag, etc

Added on December 6, 2009, 2:37 pmHi, i, myself also had bad experience on Korean car. It's a Ssangyong Rexton 290, the 2004 oldest generation. Underpowered, high FC, problematic transmission & 4wd transmission.
But then, those are older Korean cars.. Nowadays most of the NEWER generation of Korean car are giving good FC, with powerful engine. Like the Forte, 1.6 & 2.0 are putting out massive of horsepower.
But i'm unsure with the build quality since it's under Naza.

By the way, is RM30+- difference on petrol $$ matters for you?? If you're enough with the power of the new 1.5 Honda City, i don't see any objection on choosing that car.. It's more than enough for a daily-drive.. But there's someone who complaining the Honda City is slow, crampy, low top speed, can't dig chicks. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=30384210

I personally sit on that Honda City before, the rear was quite comfort for me.. But it's quite cramp for the legs room..

Go for the Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0GT if it's within your budget, bigger car with bigger displacement engine. FC wise, it's actually depends on your right foot.. I have no comment on Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0GT since i have no experience on this car. Perhaps travis_ckf or someone else will give you a better advice on this car.

maintenance shud be ok coz my dad will bring it to do up the engine, suspension, repaint and some knocking before pass it to me.for services since it is over warranty period so i can service outside cheaper then myvi svc inside p2 sc??

After read thru post and reviews, I listed City, Latio Sport and 308VTI. Meanwhile, my friends suggest Kia Forte.

How do you guy comment on above selections? Thanks

I am more towards New cars as I am Numb in this automobile industry, my car maintenance is 100% depends on service center. I am currently crusing an OLD Good Kelisa.

Let say i got 9K and i wan buy a second hand car for going to campus..
Which recommend? Kancil?Saga?iswara?Satria?

I would advise to go for the myvi and the myvi is more well equipped then the kosong waja. New will be hassle free and with warranties hence maintenance should be easy.

Unless if u demand a boot, well rather consider a persona M line then a used waja.

If u just want a transport to go campus from ur home which i assume less than 5k frm ur campus, i rather go for a motorbike. If u insist, a used kancil is achieveable with ur budget.

i'll try my best
thanks for the help and info

waja my mum is using and myvi is me using for now, next year my father gona buy new car so duno which option is better ??ask dad sell of myvi and do up waja or just remain using myvi??? either car i take i nid to pay back to dad thou when i start working.

pros and cons of myvi
1. not stable at high speed above 120km/h, very shaky when overtake bus or lorry.....
2. got abs+ebd+ba+airbag
3. acceleration is good from standstill but no power after like reaching 80km/h....
4. very good for city use
5. newer
6. stock sound system sux

pros and cons of waja
1. stable at high speed above 120km/h, not shaky when overtake bus or lorry...
2. more powerful compare with myvi
3. acceleration is not so good from standstill but power comes when at higher speed.....
4. good for long distance travel
5. no abs+ebd+ba+airbag
6. older
7. stock good sound system

so which one shud i choose???

As much as the waja has a better ride and handling than the myvi, how many times u will drive like there no tmr on public roads? If u gonna drive alot in the city the myvi is a good choice but unless if u travel highway alot, take a sedan.

I would prefer a newer car in ur case but it is all depending what sort of traffic u will be travelling the most. I hope this helps.

I not has motor license. Btw..kancil is quite under power

I think i will take mum's waja coz will travel to kelantan quite often as my dad working at there,i tried once fetching whole family and full luggage back from kelantan to melacca using myvi, felt the car really no power to overtake,not stable and not so comfy for long distance, to add next time working also maybe at outstation that nid to travel alot??wad u think??

Hello..
I'm getting my first car which is either 1.1 Sutera 2006 or 1.5 Wira 1999 . These are the only choice i have for now cuz my budget is below 20k.
Pls let me know which one has a lower FC and maintenance fees.
I'm a city driver but sometimes will go for high way too maybe few times a year.

Well in that case u may as well take the waja since u require to travel long distance and bringing family around. If u can afford a new car the new persona is worth buying. But inheritate a car from family is quite a good and economical idea esp for youngsters who going to study or start working.

Avoid, i mean, must avoid the sutera at all cost. It is a nightmare to most owners and the car will be forgotten like the dreadful proton tiara. If u want lower FC and maintenance fees, i might as well rec u to go for a used kelisa or kancil. the 1st gen 01-02 kelisa can be bought within that range.
