You want comfort go for D-segment cars.

If you can afford to buy RM 130k cars, maintenance should not be an issue.

thankx guys. looks like a lot of you like sylphy, teana n camry i'll keep that in mind. and also inspira!

what about suv:
- tucson
- sportage

is this car also quiet? means i can't feel the road noise, the bump, engine noise..

i've never ridden in this car segment (D and SUV).

hi, you looking for a car driving with long distance, the SUV not suitable for you.
my opinion you should go for sedan car which is more comfort, stable & good fc nod.gif
the car also must big coz at highway will more stable

Camry out of your budget but you can consider Altis dual VVTI the car silent & safe fuel
Sylphy the look is not so good but is good to drive
Accord can consider it have sporty looking
Inspira can consider better you have to test drive first

for maintenance toyota & honda is about the same nissan i'm not sure
proton nowdays service also not cheap biggrin.gif
but with my exp toyota & honda service is very good thumbup.gif
compare to other icon_rolleyes.gif "my experience"

if you need further info can pm me i can give you good deal drool.gif
for nissan, toyota or honda.

thanks...

Never tried Tucson yet but the new Sportage is comfortable as well especially for its price tag, a great bang for bucks SUV in its class.

but what the hell.

driving would be 900km highway - some 100km 'kampung road.

i want a car that is:
- comfort - main criteria
- cheap maintenance
- i don't want to hear any road noise, engine noise, etc
- i don't want to feel any bump on the road
I would suggest you get the Kia Optima K5. That is really value for money at RM143,888. The specs on the car is really top class and believe me the handling is equally good. Very good sound insulation and good long distance comfort. The only sound is probably coming from the noisy stock Nexen tyres. Its rear gas shock absorbers go a long way towards making long distance drives really comfortable despite its larger 18 inch tyres. But if ure evaluating solely comfort then the Teana and Sylphy will score higher but for an overall package i think the Optima is a good bet.

Safety wise, the Optima scores high with its wide range of safety specs. Its also the first Korean car with a 5 Star American National Highway Transport Safety Association (NHTSA) rating. It scored 5 stars in all frontal, side and rollover impact ratings. Even the new BMW 5 series & upcoming Toyota Camry only got 4 stars for frontal impact.

Yes resale value will not be as good compared to Jap cars but then again there isnt a 100% perfect car is there? Imho, i think specs, ride comfort, handling and safety should be your main priorities. Go have a few test drives and see for yerself. Ull be impressed for sure. Take this coming from a die hard Toyota fan for the past 9 years.

When I enter the Hyundai vehicle, fuel estimation 274km, then travel like 10 min suddenly the meter 250km doh.gif
So inaccurate .
Its accurate. When your driving style changes or your optimum speed is passed, obviously the distance to empty reading will change. Drive at a constant 110kmph and ull see that the meter is quite accurate. Not sure about Hyundai but thats the case with the Optima. For my first full tank (70-75L), ive covered 650km with 420km on highway at 140-150kmph while the rest in typical KL traffic. Still got 2 bars to go before empty. So i figure it should easily last till 700km. Not bad for a car thats heavier than a Camry.

i dn't think its a good car on this occasion
performance = yes
handling = yes
cheap maintainance = no
comfort = no (its a performance car, in order to get good handling, the spring would be hard, thus comfort is gone)
noise = i dn't think so either since its a performance car

Current one yes. Upcoming one no. But for that price i would rather go for the Optima. More value for money and better ride comfort.
