The best that people have told me is 20 sens / km on highway.

On the plus side, review has shown that is is a good and reliable car.

regards,

thanks for the suggestion man.

you serious about the Datsun? or u meant Nissan 130Y?

dont think i will go for Iswara or Kancil though. old Corolla got that cheap?

1. Brand : Any, but not local. I'm driving a MyVi now. Interested in Toyota(Vios)/Suzuki(Swift)/Nissan (Latio Hatchback)
2. Budget : Around 60k+? I'm planning to pay monthly around RM900-1000
3. New/Used/Unreg : Doesn't matter
4. Specs : Full Spec
5. Transmission : Auto
6. NA or FI :  NA, i guess?
7. Type : Normal passenger car
8. Remarks : I guess matching my budget with the brands, I'll end up with used car, which I don't mind. But I've read comments saying that Vios has smaller space compard to Suzuki? My fav option now is Latio, but I'm not sure how much is a second hand Latio Hatchback. Any comment is much appreciated!

hi im new here, going get a new car budget around rm20k below,car year around 97plus,gonna sell out my motor n get a car f0r my works,more safety hehe，sorry for any wrongs

Not only applicable to balik kampung, sometimes going out for dinner with visitng friends/relatives oso need 2 cars.

Actually very rarely do I need 7 seats but parents will understand that the baby seat occupies 1.3 seats oredi. It is very uncomfortable for 2 adults + 1 baby seat to be cramped into a 3 seater (unless u r driving full sized sedan). What more I will need 2 baby seats soon   

But even w/o 7 adults, for long distance the xtra space & seating arrangement make it more comfortable.

Anyhow, bsides Naza Ria no comments on the other marques?

No-la Wish/Stream/ Livina are stationwagons i.e. 5 seater with cosmetic 3rd row.

What is impt to me is not handling but space when I need to put at least 2 baby seats + 2 or 3 adults. I oredi have a 2+2 coupe for daily drive.

Serena & Innova r xpensive compared to the MPV I listed. Initially I was also thinking of getting a 10 yo Estima around RM90k but after serious contemplation decided to get newer & cheaper alternative.

Innova & Serena, I still need to pay RM80k for 6 to 7 yo cars with low specs but for RM70k I get full specs 6 yo Stavic or 4 yo Ria w NGV with RM1Xk for initial maintainence.

OTH I like the shape of Serena and was told that it was comfortable, mayb if I can find a well maintained one > RM80k 

My father oso advise me to get a brand new Exora but afew thing crossed it off for me - 2nd row seats oso bench outlay & cannot adjust. 3rd row lack legroom for adults. 1.6L engine for MPV is underpower in my opinion

1. Brand : Any
2. Budget : 20000 - 50000
3. New/Used/Unreg : Any
4. Specs :
5. Transmission : Auto
6. NA or FI : 
7. Type : Sedan or compact
8. Remarks : Will be traveling a lot around malaysia. Salary Rm 3000. Prefer a car that has around 14-17km per liter of petrol if there is one.

1. Brand : Proton, Honda, Toyota.
2. Budget : 30k+, might be able to go up to 50k IF mapa approves 'loan'
3. New/Used/Unreg : doesnt matter
4. Specs : must 4 doors, at least 1500cc
5. Transmission : automatic
6. NA or FI : NA
7. Type : Sedan
8. Remarks : better if got some mods like rims, audio and some bodykit. better if got engine modifications with proven increase of power without increasing fuel consumption.

i'm looking at Waja, Persona, City and Vios. City and Vios i dont know which gen, but not the newest design.

car must be able to be driven at an acceptable speed like 140+ on highways and stable.

since i'm have quite long legs, prefer if the room for the backseat is more because i'm currently driving a wira sedan, i push the seat all the way to the back and recline it slightly lower.

i am also concerning about the wear and tear items, like power window, door handle, drive shaft, and all the pricing. i dont mind paying extra a bit AS LONG AS IT LASTS.

i always travel up and down using highways. i'm from puchong and i often go subang, klang, ampang, kl areas. so the power and fuel consumption is important also.

thanks in advance
