You are right, not possible to get a car that has all the safety features I required for below 100K. The closest will be the Kia Cerato which has 6 airbags (Front 2 Side 2 Curtain2), Anti-skid Braking System, Stability Control  and Speed Sensing Auto Door Lock, but at RM118,888.

That's my excuse that until now I still have not bought a car for my dear precious wife loh.  rclxm9.gif rclxub.gif  whistling.gif
The Kia Cerato 1.6L has all the same safety features as the 2.0L model. It also has the same safety features as the D segment Optima K5.

It comes loaded with 6 airbags(including curtain airbags), Anti Lock Braking System, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Brake Assist, Traction Control System, Stability Control System and Hill Assist Control.

And all this for 99K+ only.

Anything except a Camry! rclxm9.gif

The VW, Ford, Peugeot and K5 all have good safety ratings. The 2013 Optima K5 obtained higher frontal crash ratings by the NHTSA than even the mighty 2014 BMW 528i although both got the overall 5 star rating.

On the IIHS test results, the 2013 Optima K5 is currently among only 25 vehicles worldwide who have received the Top Safety Pick (+) rating which even the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E Class failed to get. The other Korean car which was rated Top Safety Pic (+) was the 2013 Hyundai Elantra.
