The 308 is significantly larger than the Polo.

The Polo is a typical B-segment but unlike the spacious Jazz it's pretty tiny inside. Think something along the lines of Mazda 2 and you're not far off.

As for money... For a gross RM3200 salary, it's advisable not to go for a 140K car. You'll spend the next decade paying through the roof.

I would choose the Polo over the Jazz without batting an eyelid since they are similar priced. But the fact remains that in terms of interior space, the Jazz offers more (esp the boot space) and there are people who need the larger carrying capacity.

All I can say that both the Polo and the Jazz (and many other B segments) are horrendously overrpriced in Malaysia... Regardless of which one you choose it's just not the best bang for buck.

As for whether someone with 3.2K salary should buy a 110K car, it all depends on the individual. 1.2K per month for loan is just the beginning... add up petrol+maintenance it'll almost reach half of the net income, and that's still not including stuff like food/entertainment/rent/pocket money for parents etc. At the end of the month, the amount entering the savings account should be at least 1/4 to 1/3 of the salary, ideally.

Never say that one has no commitments as that is ridiculous - in 9 years' time you'll probably end up getting married/buying a house/have kids/need to support family (both your kids and your retiring parents +/- siblings who might still be studying).
