Thank you so much! you, you read my mind. I like the look of mitsubushi mirage. Space is not my main issue because I'm a single woman. Actually prefer small car for easier parking.

Other than mirage.. I'll consider Saga FLX. Is the fuel consumption really bad as mentioned by some forumer in lowyat?

wow. is it that bad? how long have your friend been using the car? What do you mean "leg touch touch can move it edi." ?

I already tested drive all car. Either me like the look of saga more than myvi. Only I concern about fuel consumption for saga. Daily I only drive 3km roundtrip.

yay. finally a feedback from mirage owner.  but, the pick up is still better than myvi right? did u get manual or auto?

i would top up a little for 75k Jazz if I were you.
Very suitable for ladies, small easy parking with big interior.

if really can't stretch that 5k i would still go for Myvi. Its a much better car than Mirage, test drive and you will know. Just sitting in both of them its quite obvious. 4 cylinder will always be better than 3 cylinder, since both is NA. Pickup is so much better in Myvi.

Saga FLX is not bad too, like other mentioned, highway cruise a much better place to be. Parking it would not be easier than a Myvi though. City drive a lot, Myvi will have the edge too.

Highway a lot = Saga FLX
City drive = Myvi

I'd take Myvi anytime between these 3. (Don't shove off a good car in your list just because its a majority on the road)

Normally my highest speed at highway is at 120. Only when I want to cut the car in front. Do you thinks it's still suitable for me. After reading this... I feel like maybe mirage is not a good choice. 

How about hyundai i10? Is the pick up better?

i was referring to 1.5 Myvi. Not sure if you are commenting the same 

with a 70k budget, i'd figured 1.3 is out of the picture for TS.

my wife's brother owns it. drove and sat on it quite a few times already.
Still think its a better car IMO. 

FC between the 3 cars won't be too much if you know how to control your pedal. Perhaps the Saga 1.6 FC is slightly higher, but not by much. If you are concerned on FC then you may consider Saga 1.3. The Mirage FC is better, only slightly, because it is a very small and light car. Its kerb weight is only 850kg. In terms of safety and stability wise the Mirage will lose to Saga which is more than 200kg heavier. The reason why the Saga is more suitable for highway drive with better stability on the highways.

If you just want a cute and sexy looking car like Barbie doll, then maybe Mirage will only suit you. But to me, it isn't that sexy anyway. A bit too small. It depends on what you want. Judging on the number of Mirage on the road I expect 2nd hand value would be poor later on too.

What wrong? If you want to get into specifics, even if the Mirage's FC is good, how much difference would it cost to pump in petrol in a month between the Myvi and Saga? That would be dependent on how much is the mileage that one travels. On average traveling distance, I would not expect the difference to be more than RM100 a month. That sum of money, to me is a small difference. Most small economic vehicles in the range of 1.3-litres, the FC wouldn't be too great.

If you compare a 1.3-litre vehicle with a 2.0-litre mid-sized sedan, then only the difference in FC/cost of fuel would be great, say a difference of RM200-300 of petrol per month, which is again dependent on the traveling distance.

In summary, although the Mirage may be more fuel efficient than both Myvi and Saga, I disagree that it is "way above". Translate the FC into ringgit, it may just come up to RM50-100 extra per month. To some people that may be a lot but to me it's not that much. If one does not travel too much, then the difference in cost may be less than RM50/month.
