1. Brand : Any
2. Budget : Rm60k max for new, RM45k max for 2nd hand
3. New/Used/Unreg : New or 3 years old max for 2nd hand
4. Specs : max 2.0L, but preferably 1.6L or below
5. Transmission : Prefer manual, or tiptronic
6. NA or FI : Either
7. Type : 4 door, either hatch or sedan
8. Remarks : Some of the stuff im looking for:

a) 4-5 NCAP rating
b) twin air bags
c) good sound insulation and comfort (plan to do moderate ICEing)
d) good FC (12km/L or above for pure city)
e) 65% highway 35% city most of the time


So far, seems like Gen 2 CPS is the only one that almost fits the bill. Are there other Jap/Conti cars that you think can fit my requirement? Thanks in advance =D.

Hmm gen2 NCAP i doubt its 4 stars so its out unless u dont mind it sweat.gif

Well if safety is priority and i have highly doubt NCAP is implemented to our cars except if its conti, the next best thing is the used honda city at 50-60k. It is derieved from the honda jazz platform which scores 4 stars in NCAP. U can opt for a used jazz from 2003-2004 idsi version as well. Both is ensured to have good FC. Both also uses CVT so its something like a triptronic as well.

Another option is the used 1.6 Peugeot 206 at 30-40k. NCAP 4 stars, should have good FC and triptonic gearbox as well. But quite hard to find a used unit here moreover need to be extra becareful when considering the car.

thanks for your advice bro smile.gif

currently gen2 cps fit most except the safety part sad.gif

for jazz, too old sad.gif max i'd be comfortable with is a 3 year old car. and the peugeot 206, i did have thought of it, but i think im not willing to risk the transmission dying on me sad.gif. perhaps i should go all out manual.

any other recommendation? thanks bro smile.gif
