wow! cool driving civic hybrid... wonder how much you can save with the hybrid version vs risk of battery replacement around 8yrs later.

i almost do the same thing last year, wanted to buy a >100k car while didnt own any property yet.
luckily settled <80k car and bought a house

Ya... Gen Y here..

Target next year..get salary increase.. look one for own stay... possible change better car...

i no car....take MTR in Hong Kong

Nah, all honda battery purchased from jan 2011 to May 2013 now have been given 8 year warranty due to their confidence in the battery and economy of scale.

I am late 80's Gen Y, all my gen x friends (late 70's) advised me to buy earlier ... even when they were buying their prop that time, they thought it was very exp... well... Klang valley has more population now and the income level has increased (also partly due to speculation).

I bought 1 property, and have been actively looking for other good opportunity. It is true that car is very exp in Malaysia (parking, maintenance, toll, etc). If I didn't buy my dream car, I might have already bought another prop by now.

people in their 40's now were more fortunate, klang valley got more land back then... some people paid 400~600K for a semi-D 15 years ago, now I can only get a small condo in okay-area with that price
