actually do you want space? if not, iris I think is ok.

Then go for iris. Lol

Even I also don't know what car shall I go in my list of choice.

So, take it as an opinion yea.

if you are paying for it, i dont think your parrents really have much of a say in this, your money mah, anything wrong also keluar ur pocket haha. If they are helping pay or something then well, i think u better just drop the fluence... laterone, lets say something happens, they will harp about it all the time

if you really like the mazda, go for it! since you dont really have passengers, space should not have been a concern in the 1st place (at least you can still pick passangers up when the need arises, my car is too cramp, backseats work for legless, headless mutant humans only)

as for why you dont see so many m2's compared to hondas, well, the honda is a better 'overall' package, its a clever design packed with the latest tech and comes with lots of toys hence why its so popular

i have a solution for you....ask yourself
1)Can i afford the d segment running/maintenance costs?
if no well obviously you can just give up on the idea, if yes continue to question2
2)Do i need the space
if yes, then you need a d seg or bigger, if no you may continue to question 3
3)Why do i want a d segment
if you can convince yourself you want/need one, get one! otherwise why consider getting one?
which expert told you it is using a vios engine this time.....  1.0 and 1.3 are not even the same engines

proton,s 1.3 and 1.6 campros are basically twins with dif internals (crank shaft, pistons, that stuff), you yes one can call them basically the same engine (ecu is also the same) but this and the vios... NO

Honestly it is crap.
If you're thinking of long term look for a Japanese car that doesn't use CVT.
So you rather buy a Mazda6 at 100k without warranty than consider an unreg Merc with warranty 
It is true that the Mazda2 (not freaking M2 ok?) uses Skyactiv technology so it's fuel economy is close to that of a hybrid. If you wanna compare it that way then all B-segment cars no need to talk already. I find it kinda cramped but if you're not big sized and tall and you're a lonely driver usually and mostly for work and without family man duty then Mazda2 is the car, no need think already.

If you got go outstation and need bigger car for family man duty then you need a C-segment like the Fluence/Sylpy, else you're better off with a B-segment. Road tax is something that comes up once a year so if you can't pay that 300+ once a year for road tax you should stop thinking even of B-segment maybe your finances more suitable for A-segment car like Attrage or local car like Perodua Bezza. Also you like having a unique car but do you know that uniqueness means less critical mass means less distributors would bother to keep parts for it meaning you're going to get locked in to only buying parts at a higher price from the SC/3S. So if you cannot afford that roadtax, don't talk about this factor, you should be finding the cheapest thing on the market. I'm suggest maybe Vios.
Step1: think of what you will use it for.
Step2: how much you can afford to pay every month to the bank? or one lump sum?
Step3: how much you can afford for maintenance every 2-3 months?

then only look for a car.
looking for car then fitting it into those steps above is the wrong way about it.
LOL!
It is true that Daihatsu/Perodua source their engines nowadays from Toyota for their cars but the 1300cc in the Bezza isn't even the same as the 1300cc in the Myvi so how come you're so confident it is the same as the 1500cc in the Vios? 

Dude, since proton is in your favourite list. I guess its good for you and budgets wise, you will like in in anyway.

macam tu, maybe can just forget the fluence, i guess you are a non married young fella so, no real need for such a big car anyway......

actually it sounds like you have done alot of repairs on the vios.... why not keep it around for a while since its fine now. Sounds like an older car so, u wont lose that much in resale even if u keep it around anyway.
dont think that was a complement......

Yeah, looking forward for the reviews. 

Colt has a 4g15 turbo iinm.
Surely much much quicker than the Swift Sport.
Although I do think that the Swift Sport does have a better sorted chassis and corners better, it can't keep the Colt from overtaking forever 

Saga 3 coming soon, happy mou?
Honda Jazz is a B-segment. Even though usually I've a preference for Japanese makes because they usually have a good balance between performance, fuel economy and upkeep. I think you might want to skip this particular model. The most excellent model of Jazz is of course the Hybrid with all the accessories, safety features, etc. It is a good car and isn't too expensive in the used car market. However, we don't know whats the long term upkeep of hybrids would be like so for that reason the hybrid is out as you want to keep it for a long time. The current model isn't going to be with that price range yet but don't worry I wouldn't say it would be good for you as it uses a CVT, and long term CVT gearbox upkeep and reliability is still quite sketchy. So to be on the safe side you can look for 2010 Honda Jazz 1.5 which is the model one generation behind the current one which uses a 5 speed conventional automatic gearbox. Looks aside the current one doesn't look like a big upgrade so most people can't tell anyway. There are some issues with this model, although reliability of the engine and gearbox is very good. The 5AT gearbox ratio's isn't quite well mated to the engine thus this generation of Jazz (and City) isn't known for fantastic fuel economy. Outstation trips I would say it is okay if it just you and a partner but it isn't something I'd wanna use to carry 4 adults and luggage to balik kampung further than 100km.

Proton Inspira is a C-segment. I think it's a good compromise in terms of looks, space, economy and functionality. Fuel economy is pretty good. It is relatively cheap to maintain for it's segment. But on reliability side it would be in the same situation as the Jazz as it uses a CVT gearbox, but there is a manual option and manuals are bullet proof would last over 10 years so that's the one you should get.

Perodua Bezza is an A-segment. Basically it is a sedan version of the Axia. Similar cars to it would be like the Mitsubishi Mirage and Attrage. I'm just guessing the Bezza is going to be a long queue so you might want to consider buying a new Mitsubishi Attrage it is also within your RM55k budget since they're running promotions and rebates. We're still getting more information on the Bezza but from what I can see so far the Attrage and Bezza are quite similarly spec'ed except for the Bezza Advance which has ESC (stability control; I think a first in this segment for Malaysia) but that model is above 60k iinm. I wouldn't say it is a good or bad car, I guess for the budget and you want a new car Bezza/Attrage would be it, quite updated in terms of safety technologies too eventhough the Attrage and Bezza (except Advance) lack ESC. It does have an eco certified engine and friends that have been using Mirage say it is a peppy engine and doesn't feel too underpowered except on full load (and to be honest any car on full load feels like crap) but I can't really take it seriously as an outstation car with that small engine. A-segments are best as in-city only cars best not to use on outstation trips.
Sorry, I forgot.
What is your budget range again?
That's good but if my math is correct it should be 3600 per year in that case.
I would say that is C/D-segment money for maintenance there.
But outside workshop, not service center.

How much would all the taxes + shipping + insurance + puspakom + JPJ add up to ?

Sometimes sentimental mean everything you knoe

1. Brand : Any brand except proton, perodua
2. Budget : 40 to 50k
3. New/Used/Unreg : Used
4. Specs : any
5. Transmission : Auto
6. NA or FI :  Any
7. Type : 4 seater.
8. Remarks : Segment B or C, not more than 6 yrs old, reliable with lower maintenance cost. Good resales value is bonus.

my question may not be directly related to this topic. I was thinking to buy a used car (second car) and looking for C or D segment like camry or accord. Perhaps year 2006 and 2008. At the same time I have an option to bring my 16 years old camry from overseas (have AP but obviously need to pay tax, shipping, insurance etc). I just wondering whether it worth to bring this 16 year old car back (no major issues with the car) or simply buy used car in Malaysia.

hmmm i think its best if you filter it a little more.... many cars will still fit your listed criteria. provide more info, do you like a large car? smaller car? tall car, hatch, sedan, suv? or maybe mention what are your needs e.g. aesthetics, reliability, low running costs, performance, space, safety 

note that, good resales value means that you as the buyer is also paying alot more for the car... imo this is only a good thing to have if you buy the car new (or want to own the car short term)

=============================================================================

i almost puked blood reading the replies 
oh my god.... the idea of this thread is for asking or recommending cars of a certain criteria..... where is this case ts very clearly mentioned no p1 no p2 AND mentioned NO old cars (the perdana wait what??? that car is so old now)
also... these are D segments... ts mentioned B/C
andrew.. u really need to own the car or at least know the car really well before suddenly commending it
-good car? yes very nice car to sit in at its time
-cheap car? dude... please its not cheap to maintain... infact it is the most expensive proton to maintain of that era (infact it probably costs more to maintain then most current protons).... the v6 is classy and smooth but many cylinders is never nice to the wallet..... i own a 6a12 (sort of) and i can tell you... its expensive to look after
-reliable? the gearbox is well known to be a huge issue (owners install an extra cooler do sort of deal with the issue), engine is like most old japs generally reliable
