Hi, a newbie here^^

I am having a struggle between mirage and i10, guys can provide me with some advice?

Thanks much much!

I remembered that i10 also comes with 5 years warranty? And I am aiming for an auto gear car, just wondering is 60k for mirage worth it compared with i10 which is about 55k?

Thank you so much zenix for your recommendation, I would certainly look out for next year end discount for mirage.

Just wondering about something about second hand car after i go through a lot of your suggestion from mudah such as the 07 City with about ~90k mileage and priced at ~40k, I feel that this is truly a great bargain and it is within my budget. So, if compared with a brand new Myvi, which is almost the same price range for the most basic line, is it better to take this 07 City than a brand new Myvi?

Yup, agreed with you bro
I would always preferred a Japanese brand car, although used. Sure hopes by end of this year it is still available, or other great bargain like this, such as yours

Hi zenix,

This babe that you recommended is awesome, honestly i am very attracted by it as I myself am hoping to buy one although it is way over my budget (~50k+) for a new one, that why I am only aiming i10 and mirage, honestly the price do seems a bit unbelievable compared with the other 2010 mazda2, could it be something wrong with it? Maybe due to the high mileage?

So master zenix you would take a Myvi than a i10? I am very troubled by P1 and P2 quality issues and I am hoping to get a reliable first car for myself, although I know korean car high maintenance cost and depreciates a lot, is this why you choose Perodua?

A pre-reg clear stock? Can you elaborate more on this?

Hmmm....so seems like i10 is out of the game, i am very tempted to take the 2010 mazda2, I like its design very much and is a sedan and pure japanese car compared with Myvi, but I i will be taking loan after maybe 10k downpayment, so is it worth it compared with a brand new Myvi?

What you say is so true, actually myvi is very ugly in my opinion, which is why i rather pick i10 or saga over it, but I know it is a play safe car to choose.

I saw another great mazda2 u recommended in mudah, a 2011 car with only half the mileage compared with the 2010 model, and the price is only 4k higher, and since is still under warranty i think it is a good buy.

Arigatou, master zenix

Yup, the mazda truly is irresistible

But regarding the pre-reg car, you mentioned that it is usually placed lower than market price. So, does it means that it is a good buy compared with the usual second hand car which is registered under a person? Means that in terms of the quality and reliability of the car, is a pre-reg car better? And I think that a pre-reg car is normally not involved in accidents or black-listed right

OMG is this really true?? Mileage has always been used as the benchmark, then what can we use as reference when we are evaluating second hand cars

In my humble opinion, I feel that is totally not worth as with that price you can really get yourself a myvi or saga (although size is your concern), it is the same case as getting a myvi extreme, I still don't get it why people pay extra 10k+ for a myvi, just feel that is so not worth as with 60k, you can actually get a preve. And since your budget is 55k max, why don't you consider mirage? at least it is a Japanese car, fuel saving (although not sure how true is the 21KM/L) and comes with 5 years warranty(again, size is your concern)? But I don't think the size is really a big issue, just give yourself some time and you will be fine as by putting the priority on size alone blinded you for other better choice.

But that was just a slice of my thought, lets hear the opinion of some professional sifus

Dear zenix,

I have been having DEEEEEEEEP dilemma, thanks to Saga SV, as it threatens my stand to get the Myvi 1.3SE for it is 10K cheaper, may I know what's your view on this? Is 10K worth to get the Myvi?

Arigatou^^

Master zenix, is this trustable in your opinion? RM8500 discount for 2013 i10?

Bro zenix, I understand you are not a big fan of korean car, but my budget is only max RM45000 so I am currently considering new Myvi 1.3SE and Hyundai i10 1.25 colourz, which after rebate their price is almost the same, may I know your view on this?

It would be selling like hotcakes if we can get a Japanese car with less than 50k, such a waste

How should I choose if it is between Myvi and i10?

I too prefer japanese more than korean/local, and I will grab the Mirage if there is any rebate that cut its price to below RM50k

i understand that in terms of resale value and maintenance Myvi is the winner, but reliability wise as well?

Thank you so much bro, I always thought that koreans is superior if compared to locals, and the current promotion for i10 which is about 10k discount and 5 years warranty is a big temptation. But I think I will just have to stick with Myvi

Arigatou bro for the tips, hate to agreed that you are right where they wont spend much resources on entry level car, so have to end up becoming a Myvian

Yup, I think I will probably wait until January next year, cause hope to get a new car for CNY. I am also eyeing the Alto, which I saw your previous post about it. I know the main issue is still about the lack of service center, but would you recommend this over Myvi?

The maintenance list that you provided is excellent, I have always wondered how much the maintenance would cost. Like you said for reliability wise, its better to take Myvi than i10, so how about Alto? I really don't mind a smaller car, as long as it is worth it. Doesn't Alto comes with free maintenance?

I think Alto have not yet comes with free maintenance from the sales agent advertisement I saw at mudah and oto, about the current Perodua RM1K rebate for fresh graduate and RM2K rebate for Myvi, will it continue until Jan? The sales agent said will end at December, although i don't really buy it, so wondering how the rebate would be for CNY.
