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

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

The FC of Hyundai Coupe is real real bad.. Full tank gives around less than 300km i would say.

Why would you want to get a FF sports coupe, with underpowered + high FC engine? The handling is not that good tho..

want power? go for BNR34.. Lots of mod available, it's an inline straight 6.
No point doing supercharge/turbocharge on 350z, best to keep it as NA if you don't want any trouble..
RX7 comes with low horse power?? You must be know nothing about the Rotaries... With a simply mod, the RX7 can make massive of horse already

Plenty of choices lorrr with that much of $$

MR2.. yum yum.. u've come to the right place and asked at the right guy.. hahaha

MR2, no need 60k so much, but depends on the modification done on that MR2 lor... 60k u can get a nicely mod and widebody-kitted MR2 already..

for around RM45k+-, you can get a 1996 model +... Personally i will only go for the Turbo version (3S-GTE), no NA for me..

Maintenance wise for MR2 is easy, there's few reputable workshop which is famous for they reputation on MR2.

You can always refer to me...

Hi.. based on your question, why not your just go and test drive it yourself?? Since not everyone has real driving experience in a Lancer GT before.. BTW, if budget allows, try opt for the new Mazda 6..

A beginner should try to experience more before driving a real fast car...

30k... not sure what kind of car suit you ler, since u're asking for a 2seater which is fast...


Btw, sorry guys.. Due to some case, i've not been contributing to this thread for quite a long time.. But now i'm back

Next time we should ask them to search for the result first, if the queries is posted before..

Hi, 40k to 50k has wide variety of car to choose ler.. Try search around for Motor Trader and look for the model you want, then we can give some suggestion..

40k - 50k can get some new model from Protons & Peroduas..

Besides, what kind of requirement of car are you looking for??

Try to give us more info, we are glad to give suggestion

30k and u're looking for good in performance, handling, fast, good FC
hmmm.. i don't think there's any fast car with good fuel consumption...

Hi.. the loan given by bank is actually depends on your document, statement, income.. We can't estimate the max loan by ourself, it also depends on the price of the cars.



Hi, by comparing the three model provided by you. I would say Forte > Sylphy > Avante.

Btw, what value do you mean? the price value or?

If u want a brand new car & peace of mind, go for the new Saga..

But if you don't want a national car & u're more looking on better fuel consumption, go for the Honda City IDSi, but bear in mind that might be gearbox problem occurs in SOME older gen City. (Make sure everything is okay and it would be a good buy)

I don't think there's a SGTi comes with 6 speed tranny, unless there's transplant job done before.
It's hard to source a SGTi with that amount of money, perhaps, you should add up your budget..

Loans for a used/second hand car are usually higher than purchasing a new cars.

Loans can be arrange by dealer if u're purchase from a car dealer.

Hi, sorry if i do confuse u with the topic title, but this is a recommendation thread. Any sales related topic, please post @ Garage Sales section.

Or perhaps you can check out the first page out this thread, there's quite a few link for car classified.

Kia/Naza Forte? Latio?

Please provide more details so we can contribute more suggestion based on your requirement.

Guys, everyone is welcome to contribute to other forummer.

Please feel free to do so !

Nope.. It's not IDSI + VTEC.. It's more like intelligent VTEC, thus giving low FC (low rev) when u're not engaging the VTEC mode.

The i stands for intelligent : i-VTEC is intelligent-VTEC. Honda introduced many new innovations in i-VTEC, but the most significant one is the addition of a variable valve opening overlap mechanism to the VTEC system. Named VTC for Variable Timing Control, the current (initial) implementation is on the intake camshaft and allows the valve opening overlap between the intake and exhaust valves to be continously varied during engine operation. This allows for a further refinement to the power delivery characteristics of VTEC, permitting fine-tuning of the mid-band power delivery of the engine.

Proton, famous with their lousy Quality Control. Not all Saga is bad in quality, some said buying proton is like buying lottery, if you're lucky enough you'll get a less problematic car from them. <<

So far i only heard about the bad FC on Saga BLM with Automatic transmission, some claim the Manual transmission is giving good FC tho.. Try asking for some opinion from Saga BLM owner, there's a Saga BLM thread in FnF section.

IMO, i will go for BLM instead of Myvi..

The reason i choose BLM over Myvi: It's more spacious than Myvi, larger boot space than myvi, it's a 1.3, better handling than Myvi.

Myvi over BLM : Looks cute for a K-car like this, better performance than BLM??, chick dig Myvi more than BLM. (Other than that, i don't have any reason to choose this car )

2.8k IS TOO MUCH for those procedure.. Or you can do the procedure on your own, if u don't mind the hassle like queuing in JPJ, etc..

Older Korean makes tends to have higher FC compared to newer generation of Korean cars..

I assume BLM will be giving better FC than the AVEO..

Lots of BLM owner has reported that Manual tranny give far more better FC than auto tranny.. It has almost 50~80km in difference.

Check with your bank. Different bank offer different interest rates...

Should be Myvi > Viva > Piccanto > Satria..

Higher to Lower.

Try to search back this thread, there's a comparison of VIOS vs City.
Will definitely skip the Accent if i were you.. Better to stick with Japanese cars..

Hi, please try to provide more information. You can't just post like this and expect proper replies from us.
At least try to provide what are the requirement for you.

Btw, i will go for Savvy in anytime

Gen 2 sound isolation really that good?? MY friend Gen 2 like goyang goyang and kinda bising inside.. unless it has been soundproofed lah...

Will go for japanese more than proton..

Well, if u can afford and have the money. Why not?

Depends on what you need, rather to pay extra more RM200 for a new car or not?

I will go for the SAGA BLM, a manual transmission ones. But not the automatic transmission because it's claimed to has higher fuel consumption compared to manual transmission (80km+- difference)

I will never opt for the VIVA, as it's small car which is kind of unstable when cruising in highway, not to mention the car stability when driving in high speed. But if you're just travelling around town, it should be working fine as the FC is good. (Smaller CC capacity).

Iswara LMST, no comment. never done any research on this car.

Satria, sporty but old. If it's a GTi, should be But GTi is among the top hot theft list.

90% city, if carry alot of loads or people. go for the saga.

if 90% mostly drive alone or fetch girlfriend, go for the viva...

5 y.o car don't give much problem?? hmmm.. it's hard to say, if it has all the service records then it should be fine.. You see, some people just know how to drive their car, but not maintaining it.

Get a new car and spend extra RM200~RM300 per month, with peace of mind warranty.

Get a used car and save RM200 ~ RM300 per month, prepare to fork out some money to repair / service this and that. (brake pads, engine oil, ail filter, oil filter, fuel filter, etc)

What car is in your mind now?? 75k can choose various car model already..

Mind to tell which manufacture is offering 2.55% and 3.88% ??

Toyota Vios? Honda City? Kia Forte? Gen 2 CPS? Suzuki Swift??

For your age, if you're attached ... get a sedan, you will found it useful in no time !

But if you're single and doesn't carry much thing/people, compact would be fine too

Personally i will go for Sedan, as i don't like small size car. Which i feel lack of confidence when driving, especially in highway.

wrong section.

Please refer to campro and kia forte club thread.
