Vios
+ Feels airiest of d 3 (probably due to glass area n lighter tones)
But most important of all is for u to test drive all of them n ask urself. No point getting wat ppl recommend but not happy deep inside.

ok heres my view.

i test drove ford fiesta hatchback top spec.
first impression was that interior was very plasticky.
when u knock on the interior door panels it feel very cheap and flimsy.
dashboard also feels plasticky.
the power was good. but the engine noise was way too loud especially at 3k rpm.
i tried to sit in the backseat, and it was very2 small. the boot is also not big.

i also test drove the kia forte 1.6sx.
immedietely when u enter the cabin it feels solid and premium.
plastics like door panels and dashboard feels solid (did the knocking test hehe).


hope this helps, cheers!!

Get the forte. Vios is no more than a Myvi with boot. Fiesta also not bad.

true , money is a concern. imagine you make rm2000 and ppl ask you to pay rm600-800 for a new car monthly.

house rent ? maintenance ? food ? parkingr?

1st car for freshie of cos we concern about resale lo.

a successful fresh grad with first job in a big company must not be seen in a local car. at least a vios J or swift.

otherwise your neighbour, frens, uni mates and relatives will think you have not made it.

those inherited a local car from family, must change to an import soonest possible. then you can proceed to tell the whole world via facebook that you have made it biggrin.gif icon_idea.gif

Current runing in higher resales value

Camry/accord
Vios/myvi/kelisa
Grand livina/wish
*
Vios/myvi/kelisa----- number 1 in resale value due to reliability and low maintenance.

wish---recon car usually has good resale value, see also caldina. u drive a few years you can pretty much sell at the original price you bought from.

What u mean by 'shaky'? U said u got very bad feedback for the Forte right? Only the push start button? What else?

What is your opinion about the 10 units of new Ferrari 458 Italia's which caught fire in 2010 around the world and was reported on BBC and CNN? I think the problem was far worse than a simple push start button issue. Would you say that Ferrari's are bad cars as well?  hmm.gif

if you only have 1 car to drive to work, and 458 italia caught fire when you're on your way to work, and you're carless for 2 months waiting for insurance cheque, then its a bad car.

if you have 10 cars, and took 458 italia for a weekend ride and it caught fire, well, its not a bad car, heck, now they have 458 topless, time to call your insurance company to chase for the cheque for a new topless 458 biggrin.gif .
