I'm looking for a comfortable yet powerful enough car for everyday commute of 2+ hours/day.

I'm interested in the honda civic 1.5 turbo, reviews in other countries suggested it is overall best in terms of ride handling, NVH, and engine performance.

For its expected price range (~RM130k), is there other car models I should check out also?

If going for higher budget, I guess Camry hybrid is the best in that price range?

My impression is that Mazda 3 interior is not as spacious as Civic... and Mazda 3 suspension also more stiff causing more bumpy ride?

The refundable order is just to test the market.

If too many people place pre-order, they will think market demand is strong and price very high. So better don't do the pre-order with Honda to give them confidence to price high high

140k huh? It's OK for Honda to dream big
Ford focus or VW Jetta better deal being US and EU ride and handling.

We don't need dumb garmin, we need car play to use waze, which can analyze road traffic in real time!
