2014 car, warranty until 2017. Free service for 4 years apparently. I advise that you shop around, and maybe visit BMW Premium Selection.

While I understand why everyone else is saying no, the BMW 316i is a good car (320i is better). But frankly, it won't make a difference between the 316i and 320i IF you commute mainly from home to work in an urban setting.

I don't see how 320i would be better than 316i in traffic jams and <110km/h driving, as both have the BMW logo on the steering for you to stare at while you're stuck in jams.

As for being able to afford it or not... we do not know you & your wife's lifestyle. We don't know what you spend the rest of your income on. If your wife loves to collect cincin & handbags, then you probably can't afford it. But if your only commitment is the condo, and you're frugal..for example..you drink kopi ais and not Setarbarks.. it's doable.

Come on, we're all here living a life... different people have different priorities. I've seen people who can afford to change iPhone every year, drink Setarbarks every other day but still driving an old Satria. Maybe he bought a lot of properties and have a lot of fixed commitments already, so buying a car is not high on his list, who knows?

What I'm saying is, its important to save, invest and be smart, but at the same time, spending a bit to make yourself happy is important as well.

Indeed, because there's no full view, e.g. other expenses, lifestyle, career advancement opportunities etc.


Best read with a sense of humor.

At a glance. That is true.
When you calculate the effective interest rate, that is false. Which is what ongss was trying to illustrate.

The other guys are trying to explain to you.

In any case, I wouldn't do what ongss said either - buying cars with cash. I'd probably buy a house with the cash in hand (dp lah, take loan), and down the road refinance the house to buy the car. Of course, each of us are different as we have our own approach.

Coming back to the TS, what have you decided on?

I will advise against the Golf TSI Mk7. And suggest a Golf GTI mk6 IF you really want a Volkswagen. There are a lot of problems plaguing VW Malaysia. Do some research.

Mazda 3 is a good car. Space may be a bit limited in the rear.
