Hi eveyone,
I am planning to buy a new car. Now I m considering
1. Suzuki Alto
2. Myvi 1.3
3. Saga FLX 1.3
4. Mitsubishi Mirage

or any other car that you guys can recommend is also appreciated, my requirement is very simple
- good fuel consumption,
-low maintenance, easy to maintenance
-mostly city driving, occasionally for highway driving
-budget ard 50K

Thanks alot.

I would say, go for myvi, since your budget is 50k. and myvi's fc is better than saga.

Go for Mirage. New features new model...

Myvi is old old old ... it appears many yrs in market. anytime will go.

Myvi is an almost 2 star ASEAN NCAP car, Saga FLX+ almost got 4. Easy choice then.

since you said your main usage in city, better take any of those three beside saga

my saga can only reach 280km in city

but saga flx has very low safety rating here,

TOTAL SCORE out of 16.00

Ford Fiesta 1.6 litre sedan (15.73)
Honda City 1.5 litre (15.44)
Toyota Vios 1.5 litre (13.61)
Nissan March 1.2 litre hatchback (11.66)
Proton Saga FLX+ 1.3 litre (10.23)
Perodua Myvi 1.3 litre (8.71)
Hyundai i10 1.1 litre (7.31)
Proton Saga FLX 1.3 litre (4.30)

The 1 star rating is for the single airbag kosong FLX standard.

The FLX+ which scored higher than Myvi has 2 airbags + ABS, which is equivalent to the FLX executive variant or higher.

Now in my wife kampong and drive the saga BLM (M) and found out the FC really bad.
Fully city drove 136km and drop in 3 bars already

If Myvi really can clock's 400km per tank is peanut.

saga BLM and flx with iafm+ are two different animals all together. So are the performance and FC.

To TS, you should be looking at FLX 1.3L (dual airbags, ABS variant).
Mirage and Alto are 3 cylinders engine, certainly it isn't as smooth as those 4 cylinders engine. Make sure you know the characteristics of it before purchasing.
Safety > FC, everything. If the car not safe enough to protect you, let alone talking about save a bit more on FC and better resale value. You will not even stand a chance to claim it if you involve in a serious accident.

simple.

the answer is mirage.

the end.

yes to this. get the MIRAGE if u can afford it.

i will go for mirage if those are my options...

Any crash test result on MIT mirage.
Becoz on the previous Mitsubishi design had a worst history on proton car, even in the lancer.

mirage is like an overpriced kancil/i10

P2,Hyundai ==/ Mitsu

5-star for Mirage

The Mirage was tested as an A segment car though. When the i10, an A segment car, was tested as a B segment car it got 2 stars. When it was tested as A segment car it got 4.

i funny this comparison a bit funny, 1/4 is a sedan and the rest is a compact car
question of the day, what are you gonna use it as? point a to b? or just going for the miles...
on my opinion, i'd go for the saga on my opinion, you get a proper trunk, you receive decent FC and it seats comfortably when full of occupants...
plus you have today's tech, CVT and a decent engine power for long distances and carrying heavy loads
added plus, any mechanic can repair your car, plus the parts are pretty cheap compared to perutdua
