rclxms.gif good that your friend realize and complained.

But sure a lot of customers don't know and pay only. They think whatever the SC say because it's so called authorized SC, that is the correct thing to do.

base on your selection, i would say City is the best choice of the 3 imo.

1. Mazda3 2009, maintenance is definitely higher than City, 1.6 will be slightly underpower (for me)
2. City 2009, own a 2005 City for 8 years, running fine till i sold to change car, normal maintenance at honda SC bout 200-300, but do expect some parts need to be replace soon
3. Inspira , proton, no comment icon_rolleyes.gif

What about the regular service intervals for city 2009? Is it 5k or 10k?

5k/3mth for semi syn oil, 10k/6mth for fully syn oil... just go for 10k service interval, not much diff in whatever new car you know...

again, it's your choice... since it's 2nd hand i assume you'll not be servicing at SC... seek your trusted mechanic for advise...

I see. 10k/6mth sounds reasonable. Yup, won't be servicing at SC for whichever car I choose smile.gif

TS i dont want comment on ur financial status, but if u ngam2 can afford a c seg car (m3 and inspira).. U better think twice.. FC is no where near b seg. Not to mention all tear n wear are pricey.. A sets of good tire which can keep ur arse on the road will be 1500++ min.. Where else b segment rm1000 can settle with quite good tires d..

Juz my 2 cents.. Dun juz look at the affordable monthly installment..

this!
15 inch one of the best tyre ps3 240+- each


inspira 17 inches normal tyre 400+- each

I see. Is the cvt gearbox in the city something I should be wary about?

Or those problems only occur in vtec and idsi versions?

Btw, do you happen to own the honda city before? Which model? biggrin.gif

i own the idsi version, i have no major gearbox problem (atleast not tht i notice), just rmb to change ur GB oil when time comes

2nd hand dealer says it was abit cranky, i guess for normal driving, it shouldn't be a problem (or he is trying to get a better deal)

i've sold the car to my uncle, 9years counting~

Hi guys, I'm torn between these 3 cars:

1. Mazda 3 2009
2. Honda City ivtec 2009
3. Proton Inspira 2011
Does anyone know the maintenance and ownership costs between them?

I have some rough idea about city and inspira's maintenance, but not so sure about mazda 3. (their fb group does seem to be accepting me in)

Which one will you go for? I'll be driving the car for 7 years if everything goes right smile.gif

If cost is something u prioritized, the Honda City wins. B-seg cars are cheap to run and maintain, and an ideal car for PPG (put petrol go) car with less fuss.

Should be good for seven years and definery u will pay lesser than the other two cars
