I will choose Waja if the Waja is equipped with ABS and some basic driving assists. It's okay to drive without driving assists, but have to be more caution lor.. Especially doing safety brakes distance.

Kancil Is to small for me. I'm like 180. Wira FC and maintenance not good ? I can't find kelisa around my range.

Thanks and best regards,

1. Brand = toyota vios/ honda city
2. Budget = rm50k
3. Used
4. Specs = E or G for Vios / iDSI or Vtec for City
5. Transmission. (Automatic)
6. NA
7. Type = sedan
8. will be travelling alot..from kl to pg / kl to kelantan..defitnitely up for good FC and comfort..


*i've noticed that..from previous post there were a few matters about
how much we can save on buying a 2nd hand car at the end of the year or depending on the months (months/years)

i'm not sure how it works...say if i wana get a 2nd hand car,
for example 2006 vios/ 2006 city...better to get it in dec2009 or jan2010

thanks:)

1. Brand : Proton Wira 1.6
2. Budget : Below 10k depend on condition
3. New/Used/Unreg : Used (1996 - 1999)
4. Specs : Full Accessories
5. Transmission : 5 Speed Manual !
6. NA or FI : NA
7. Type : 5 seater.
8. Remarks : Unmodified Condition, Well Taken Care, Problem Free, prefer 1 owner

Which volks polo u mean. The new one or the used units from WALD? Avoid the later one but even though the volk polo is expensive, it is a worth buy if u can afford it. Perhaps they discount it to make way for the new gen of polo coming up next year perhaps.

Honda city is pretty much a good b segment saloon but the waiting list is quite long. Well all depends when u need ur car and if u need a boot. I go for the volks polo if i can afford it.

Nah buying used car by end of year wont make much difference. But for that if FC if ur priority, the city idsi is the best option, best for fuel economy and good for long distance. U also never go wrong with the vios too. The vios brings very good FC on long distance runs.

Looks good. Give it a test drive and see if everything is okay from acceleration, gear change and brakes. Make sure it is properly maintained and updated on the service booklet.

hye.. i need a help regarding choosing my first car

1. Brand- anything as long as it cheap
2. Budget- 40k i guess or lower
3. New/Used/Unreg- New
5. Transmission- anything with less fc cuz i travel alot
6. NA or FI ? - no idea.. ...
7. Type- anyhing also dun mind..
8. Remarks- my salary is 1.5k and might be lower.. but not less than 1.2k
- i have proton savvy MT my mind .. any other suggestion?

ur help is really needed.. thanx..

I will not recommend u to get a car with ur such salary. Honestly cant help u much.

owh.. is it? forgot to mention that i live with my family and my workplace is just about 10km from my home. still not sufficient?

Unless if u can pay the car in cash and no loan then it should be ok. If u still wanna apply loan with ur salary u wont have much choice nor the bank will approve ur loan. Ur salary is just good enough to provide petrol and maintainence for ur car.

no la.. my father agreed apply the loan using his salary.. i just need to bear the installment,the fuel and the maintainance.. would it be sufficient? from what i heard,savvy fc is quite good and less problem if i take manual.. is it ok? or any suggestion for other car?

1. Brand : 2003 Honda City/ New Proton Saga SE
2. Budget : 40k-50k
3. New/Used/Unreg : Doesn't matters
4. Specs : Full Spec
5. Transmission : dont mind

headache from choosing these 2 cars,i like the honda city but if its 2003,its going to be a 6 year car...worry of the transmission problem..but if the new saga i dont quite like the interior design,and the rear seems to 'sink' very much if 3 person is sitting behind.

Planning to buy a second hand (or third hand) car as temporary for my dad. Budget around RM5k. My friend suggested me to buy a Tiara, and buy another one in case got one or more spare part kaput. lol.

I heard 2003 City got problem with gear box. If out of warranty and the gear box spoils, could cost you RM27k to fix/repair/replace.

Don't wanna consider vios second hand? or Waja perhaps.

hey guys, im asking on behalf on my aunt. she's single and working just 5 minutes from home and seldom drive more than an hour journey apart from shah alam-KLIA, or shah alam- midvalley. so, she stucks with 2 options, i10 n picanto(latest version). i know from 'noob' research on net i10 is based on picanto. but i10 got 4 stars ncap while picanto got 3stars. anything else should i know about? how about users from both cars?

1. Brand : NazaKia, Hyundai
2. Budget : picanto n i10 are both 50k> right?
3. New/Used/Unreg. : NEW
4. Specs. : high end spec for both cars
5. Transmission. : she cant drive manual, so, AUTO
6. NA or FI ? : picanto n i10 got turbo meh? haha. NA of course

1. Brand : toyota vios, honda city, myvi ????
2. Budget : 50k
3. New/Used/Unreg : Doesn't matters.
4. Specs : ?
5. Transmission : AUTO
6. NA or FI : NA
7. Type : 5 seater
8. Remarks : I drive 60km a day , mostly highway driving. I prefer a sedan but would not mind something like a Myvi since a new one is within budget.
Just trying to decide between a new myvi or a 2nd hand vios, city?

I have no idea how u gonna cope seeing u end up paying back ur dad. Maybe u pay lesser compared to bank due to interest rate but seriously a salary of 1.3k inc ur meals, fuel, self usage, utilities, entertainment and most importantly personal savings is not enough.

I think that all i can advise. I strongly discourage u from taking any loan which will burden u.

I would like the city more as it is a proven reliable and economical car. But just be vary of the gearbox and the maintainence from the past owner. Check the service history to see if it is serviced on scheduled and test drove to see if the gearbox is okay.

If u dont want to spend more on maintenance and wants something for the peace of mind, take the saga. At least ur warranty covers u.

Both cars cost less than 50k, but actually nothing go wrong with the 2 cause they are from the same parent company. I'm sure they using the same components/platform.

But i would pick the inokom i10. Naza aftersales sucks and inokom has better advantage on this.

Used vios and city will be a better idea since u dealing with lots of highway driving. Both city n vios gives very decent FC on highways as well. Similiarly, find a unit that is well serviced and test drive to see everything is okay. Good luck
