i'll suggest u go with i10, 4 stars ncap and hyundai is kia big brother~
and like what travis said was right.. naza after sales not good.

Unless u doing a transportation or contractor business i dont see why u should go for a pickup. Perhaps picking sets of rockband/guitar hero will do?

I think the new mitsu 4x4 triton is a good buy, but other alternatives to consider is the isuzu one. 2500 cc roadtax is expensive at 880 while the 3000cc will cost u even more.

Better reconsider if u really want a pickup. Otherwise a used proton arena is a worthy choice if u in budget.

2.5 Diesel Turbo... the power isn't smooth & powerful like the 3.2..

Try consider the Isuzu Dmax 3.0 ITEQ, i currently owned one.. it's a 3.0 super commonrail turbodiesel 4x2 version. The power is smooth and more than enough, not to mention less turbo lag compared to lower CC model (2.5ltr).
Giving good FC compared to other brand (Triton, Navara, Hilux, Ranger etc).

But if you're looking for more power, go for Navara, it's a mothertrucker with 176PS and 406nm of torque (which is equal to a BMW M3)..

I wouldn't recommend you to get a Hilux, as it's underpowered & quite high FC like there's no tomorrow

My suggestion : DMAX > Navara > Triton

My no-no list : Hilux

Powerful with good FC : DMAX

Powerful which will swallow most of the SUV / Truck on highway : Navara

Powerful with comfortness : Triton

Underpower, high FC with nono comfortness : Hilux

What is the current 2nd car interest rate like? Planning to get a 2nd Lancer GT 2.0...

please help me,

im asking this in behalf of my friend,

he want to buy a NEW car, doesnt care what brand, dont even care p1 or p2,
but what car can he get with a 500-550 budget of monthly payment?

hes looking at viva with rm360 monthly, but i told him, he can get a better car, with that monthly budget for loan payment



thanks,

Proton Saga BLM is a perfect car for him based on your info.

Base Line model Saga BLM = RM36,500. For 7 year loan, interest is 26.25% so including interest, monthly only pay roughly around RM550. but that if full loan. If you pay downpayment, probably can get Saga Medium line or Saga S.E.

that is for 1.3 right?, which 1 is better if saga? 1.3 or 1.6?,

naza bestari is it around his budget?

Like what travis_ckf, naza after sales not very good. But that up to you, your choice. But for me, i don't really trust Naza (no reason), i trust Proton 10 times more even though sometimes they're a bit sucks

The Saga is 1.3 yes. 1.6 Saga is rare. If you need 1.6, better choose Persona IAFM 1.6 Base Line model. RM45,500 (full loan around RM565 monthly) if pay downpayment probably can get Medium line

when i show my friend the naza bestari, now he wan to opt for the naza bestari pulak

can anyone let me know whats the monthly payment for naza bestari?
found a few thread stated that it comes with 0 interest 0 dp

I think a car less tahn 5 years old will easily fetch from 3.75-4% interest rate, depending how long is ur loan as well.

I would like to know what is his extact budget and how many years of loan he wanna take?

I dont think there avail stock for naza bestari. It sells at 60-70k in which from ur estimation he cant afford it as well. Like what others says, even with 7-9 year loan with RM500 per month i think he can afford until max the myvi. Best is to settle for the new viva or saga blm.

But he said 0% interest and RM0 downpayment for Bestari. How's that possible?

I recall there such promotion to clear off the stock of the bestari a couple of months back. Guess the promotion is now over.

I even know that they discounted the bestari until less than 50k. That something that explains why i dont like naza. They discount like no mercy that will put a very bad effect to the resale value for the current owners.

since this is his first car, and yet he cant spend big, 9 years of loan is good...
exact budget on the car? not sure about it after the interest tho, he only state the monthly commitment budget

so a no no to naza bestari, means the choice now on saga blm, and viva right.
any other car to be opt to?

reliability = Ranger, D-Max

torque output & vehicle size = Navara

underpowered and overhyped = Hilux

no production QC = Telcoline

sissy pondan outlook, those that want a 'car-handling' 'car-comfortness' but very gatal wanna try to drive pickup truck = Triton

1. Brand : Japanese
2. Budget : 50-55k
3. New/Used/Unreg : Probably used
4. Specs : Stock
5. Transmission : Auto
6. NA or FI : NA
7. Type : Sedan

I'm debating between these 3 choices with particular order:
1.used City idsi
2. used Vios
3. new Myvi

The only thing I'm concern of is the CVT gearbox problem for City idsi. Have they fixed this for all 03-04 cars?

I have replied pretty much the same on my previous post. Track back 1-2 pages back and u will get ur answer.

Recently my friend's daddy recommended me to buy a second hand 2004 honda city with the price around the same with new MyVi SE (RM 52K)
Was wondering which one worth for the money. In terms of performance, sure the old city will win.
However, it is still a recon car though.
Anyone? Please guide me whether it is a smart consumer to buy new or recon car.
Thanks.

thanks buddy , i guess TRITON 2.5 turbo always in my mind .. 3.2 roadtax etc. expensive , im planning to mods the TRITON > LowRider a.k.a like Hotrod..And if there is performance parts for it , i will upgrade it for sure.

Not until u test drive all of those truck first.. I'm sure you will change your mind *poison poison*
