Wira aeroback 1.5L fuel injection auto
- 11 years old car
- well maintained (no leaking, no black smoke)
- nice outlook (no major accident before)
it's being offered RM12500 though i already negotiated from RM13.5K.
does it worth to buy?
first, avoid the 1.5L (check if the engine is 4G15). auto gbox is 3-speed, petrol consuming.- 11 years old car

with that budget, you can actually get those 1.6L auto ones or those converted to mitsubishi 1.5L auto. (better pickup and petrol consumption).
like alcatraz said, 2nd hand car is unpredictable, UNLESS the owner have full service history. i bought a satria 1.6 auto 1995 this year . rm7500. gbox died after 4 mth. fork out rm1k to change gbox. my fault cos blinded by the cheap price. did not notice it during test drive.

Hi guys,
I can't decide between these 3 cars. My choice would be:
1. Mazda 3 2008 RM80k (Used)
2. Honda City 2010 RM90k (New)
3. Naza Forte 1.6 RM83k (New)
Anybody care to give me any advice on these 3 cars, especially in terms of reliability and maintenance costs.
had the same car discussion with wife. she was into mazda3 2009 new from bermaz but considering honda city 2009 new.I can't decide between these 3 cars. My choice would be:
1. Mazda 3 2008 RM80k (Used)
2. Honda City 2010 RM90k (New)
3. Naza Forte 1.6 RM83k (New)
Anybody care to give me any advice on these 3 cars, especially in terms of reliability and maintenance costs.
naza forte wasn't here yet.
both of us test drive mazda and honda city.
my opinion
mazda
- unless u get the 2.0 version, the 1.6 made u feel cheap inside. 2.0 have much better finishing
- good in cruising, but no rush feeling. 4 spd autobox
- far to service. service center in KL, we are from melaka.
- nice option of rm5k free service and maintenance.
honda city
- ok finishing. good features.
- better cruising : 5spd auto gearbox
- paddle shifting/semi auto - push the car to 7k rpm.
- near service center / factory
- ok for the maintenance price. so far no issues but did complaint on the steering cover not fit nicely. SC said its normal. wtf? checked the test drive car and found it was perfect. check other newly arrived car, oso got gap. SC change new one, little gap.
my opinion for your choice, if the rm80k was for mazda 3 2.0, with very low mileage, and you are from KL. it might be a better choice since you are paying real market value compared to honda city.
