Honda City
small, good looking at front, not much difference from my blm, size/interior, feel tin milo, decent specs, i do not feel upgraded, tried naik bukit got the turbo voice like proton engine also.

Toyota Vios
since everyone is so hype about it, i gave it a try. feel exactly like my blm. nothing to shout about. specs out, interior out, design out, price out.

Proton Inspira
since it is a lancer i tested it, looks sporty and furious, handling is good but somehow the interior looks cheap and dull to me, i am still okay but wife object a proton.

Chevrolet Cruze
body and door feel solid, sporty and classy looking, sit front it doesnt feel right for me, rear feel smaller than forte and inspira, i did not test drive cos i does not like it at all.

Mazda 3
overall good, love the soft dashboard plastic, sat on my friend's 2.0, i can only afford 1.6 but the specs doesnt make me happy and the cramped rear is a real let down.

Mazda 2
too small, rear is cramped too, handling good, read forums got quite negative details, feel no upgrade as well.

Nissan Sentra
quite interested but after sat in friend's sentra, i am only 165cm, after adjusted front seat, rear is so cramped, and the technology is so old.

Nissan Latio
very comfortable as i sat in my friend's car occasionally, due to specs and technology i forget it, plus it looks like blm big brother.

Peugeot 207
same as mazda 2, love its lion logo at front but hate its door handle, it is so yesterday.

Kia Forte
i do not really fancy it design, but i do love it very much after installed with bodykit. space and comfort are very good, better than civic, power are decent for 1.6. initially i disliked the handling, even blm handles better, but when i become used with it, it handles really good. specs wise and price wise no need to explain. rear door feel tin milo which is a let down.
