Hmmm i would like to go for punto if i really know how to maintain italian cars and i want to be different, not forgeting i can afford to spend more for maintainence. I would like to keep the punto for many years even when the years comes by i can afford to buy better cars, not forgeting i willing to spend more for parts even though i wont be getting used parts from chop shops. On that note i stay punto for life!

On the other hand, i dont have much money for cars and i just want a set of reliable wheels to go anyway. I dont want to spend much money for maintenance so i want it to be cheap and reliable. I also want to get a better car once my earning power increases. So i go for the kenari and hopefully i would get a golf/camry once i earn more!

Guess this should answer ur ques. Good luck!

i think better drive normal car like kenari first then switch to something like EVO or what when make enough of money laugh.gif
Punto high maintenance mean you will spend a lot of money fixing car so that mean you cannot save up for better thing laugh.gif

1. Brand : Honda/Mitsubishi
2. Budget : 90+/-
3. New/Used/Unreg : New/Used
4. Specs : Full Spec
5. Transmission : Auto
6. NA or FI :  NA
7. Type : 5 seater.
8. Remarks :

Hi there, i am planning to get a new car for myself, typically a SEDAN. Currently I am driving a Myvi (2 years +) and I am looking into buying a family size SEDAN car that can last me for like the next 5 years. I would be selling of my 10 years old CRV japan spec for this.

I am confuse between a brand new 1.5E Honda City or a 1+/2 year USED Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GT as both also comes in a relatively same price. I am also considering USED CIVIC, but the 2.0 spec is way out of my budget for 08/09.

Hope i can get some advise here.

Thanks a lot in advanced.

Cheers,
Jason

Hmm FC wise n maintainence cost comparing vios n SX4 the vios will have advantage here but it seems most car mag reviewers prefer the SX4 over the vios. I think based on ur criterias, the vios is a better bet.
Can i just recommend a used perodua kelisa? I really dono what u want beside the criteria from ur remarks.
Ahh now i get u.

Here my ranking according to criterias. I assuming the camry, civic n accord were based on the 2.0cc model.

Fuel Consumption, cost and maintainence
1. Slyphy
2. Camry
3. Accord
4. Civic
5. Lancer GT

Fun driving, handling, performance
1. Civic
2. Lancer GT
3. Accord
4. Camry

What do you guys think?

Scirocco if 4doors is not that important for you laugh.gif
Look is worth the premium but most important,go and test drive 2cars and make the decision yourself biggrin.gif
