o request recommendation, this is what u need to post:
1. Produa/Proton/Anything else probably doesn't fit into my budget
2. Around 10k for used. Up to 40k for New
3. New/Used/
4. Doesn't matter. Low ppowered kacil is also good
5. Auto only
7. Perfer sedan
8. I've just graduated and I would like to get a car once I find a job in KL. I don't like driving so things like comfort, looks, etc don't really matter much to me. I just need a car so that I have one when I feel like using one. I'm the type of person that's OK with taking public transport and even taxi if I need to go somewhere.

The two most important factor is the price and how easy it is to drive.

I've driven a manual kancil alot. Everything about it is perfect exact that I am pretty tall and my thighs press against the steering even if I push the chair all the way back.

I've also driving the Wira sedan auto. Itis very nice but they don't produce it anymore and it's the car that breaks down the most. So I won't buy a second hand one.

The new saga seems nice, but I haven't driven it before.

My sis has latest Mazda 2 now but that car is useless. The back window is soooo small. I can't see the front of the hood. The huge bars between the front window and side windows blocks my view. Basically it's really hard to drive. So anything similar like the Satria or Suzuki Swift is out.

Is it possible to get a loan for Proton Saga SV as a fresh grad. I've already got hired and I want a car to go to work. I can put up 10k as down payment.

I took a look at the Saga SV Auto today. Looks good and I think it's worth it for the price. Plus 3 years warranty too. I can afford this. But the front screen and big bar is the same as my parent's Mazda. It's very hard to see the road. I'm used to driving a Wira.

However I while driving back, I was thinking of just getting a used Kancil auto since they are going for 6-8k. My dad has a manual Kancil and I like the car expect it's kinda cramped since my legs are long.

What would you suggest. I'll be driving from Damansara to PJ to work and back only. Plan to use the old SS 2 way instead of Persekutuan HW. No plans to drive this on the highway. I'm a good driver, but I'm also very scared of cars art high speed.

In terms of cost, I think the Saga SV is gonna cost me 15k net since I plant to sell it after 3 years.

On the other hand second hand Kancil will cost me maybe 8-9k including all the servicing for the 3 years minus the minuscule resale value of the care later.

I was about to buy a new Saga but I noticed 11' Saga FL Auto is going for 23k-27k.

That's a huge depreciation in 2 years.

Should i buy a 2 year old Saga instead? It still comes with 1 year warranty from Proton.

Or are all these cars the problematic ones ppl are getting rid off.
