1. Brand : Popular in Malaysia (Ford, Honda, Toyota, etc.) Easy to find service centers.
2. Budget : Around RM100k(+-)
3. New/Used/Unreg : Doesn't matter
4. Specs : Mid/Full
5. Transmission : Doesn't matter
6. NA or FI : FI (preferred)
7. Type : 5 seater.
8. Remarks : I'm finding for a car that has comfort when you're slowly cruising around town and, puts a smile on your face when you step on the gas and go around turns. p.s. I'm currently looking at Ford Fiesta and Kia Cerato

Hope that I can find the car I'm looking for from you, thanks. smile.gif

2013 VW Polo Sedan 1.6 - since you already have done a bit of research on those cars then let me intro you some others which you weren't looking at. Here is a good car although it won't get your heart racing with its performance its not any worst than the performance of a Cerato or Fiesta. Plus you get German engineered quality and specs, real 5 stars for safety.

2010 VW Polo 1.2 TSI - one good thing about buying VW's is the 5 years warranty so this car although you're buying it second hand you're still guaranteed another 2 years of warranty so peace of mind when you buy the car if there are problems which is related to manufacturer issues you can still claim. Performance wise like most modern VW's this baby is twincharged so it doesn't fall prey to being underpowered unlike most of the cars on the road. Still considered a new model so no worries on parts availability. It is a very sweet deal, for about the price of a Toyota Vios TRD you can get something of the same segment with real performance not just bodykit and placebo.

2008 VW Jetta 1.4 TSI - to truly cruise in town in comfort you need a nice C-segment car like the Jetta (which is essentially the sedan version of the Golf) the supercharge will give you lots of power in every gear and speed when cruising around town, then when you hit the highway and stand on the pedal the turbocharger takes over and the world starts to get blur. This Jetta is based on the MK5 body, don't worry there are still many parts available for it although its discontinued.

Thanks for your time and advice, but I have to say that although those are good recommendations, they have rather high maintenance cost. My parents have recommended a trade-in 2009 2.0 Accord from a friend, but I don't think that would satisfy my lust for fun and speed, I was hoping if you could give more of your expert advice regarding this.

p.s. I've been thinking Peugeot 308, Mazda 3, Ford Focus, or something like that.
p.p.s Something fast to dominate, but not too eye catchy for some jealous barbarians,

Thanks for your earlier comments and suggestions again.

Would you recommend me to go for Subaru or Mitsubishi (Price Range around 100k)?
p.s. Some guy told me Subarus aren't bad in terms of drive feel.
