Test driven most of the japanese suv's in the market.

Handling i'd prefer subaru forester.
Ride comfort, well crv is quite well sorted. 2.0 is good, 2.4 is really something else.

Safety kit, the top end of most models are very well equipped.

Asx facelifted is somewhere in between though the engine drone is still there albeit a bit muffled.

Nevertheless, asx is still the best value for money especially the latest with 7 airbags, not forgetting the panoramic sunroof.

Would you guys advice to get 2wd asx or lancer gte(cbu)

Dilemma

If worry loose money rather than enjoy the car.. Might as well just buy old vios.. Used.. Better still proton Wira.. Few years back I see 1.6 Wira cost rm8000.. 4  years later still 8000..
