if u considering suprima becoz of the turbo.
forget it.
it is pretty tame and useless.
after the initial fun period after you've adjusted to the speed.
you'll find it is always getting beaten by anything with a 1800cc engine on the highways.

I am decided to buy the car. He actually bought it on April 2013, the model don't change from 2012 to 2014, the car still with manufacturer warranty until April 2018. Would let u know how it go at the end. Thanks

between the bezza and saga which one does the sifus here preferred?

proton suprima got many showroom cars kenot sell?
it just goes to show that this model isn't doing well.
would you wanna buy a "cold" car?

no secret that this model sales failed, need to find out  if the parts are similar to preve, if can be shared then should be okay..

if too many major problems, no choice..

off to bezza i go.. even the backseat is crap, lol

most of the parts are interchangeable.... front end and interior pieces are similar (with some slight trim differences here and there...)

Hi sifus,

Brand : Any (preferably sedan)
Budget : Rm15k or less
Used/New/Unreg : used (at the price of course)
Transmission : auto

i already have 2 manual cars.
looking for a fun auto car (good handling) with many parts available.
As long as fuel consumption and maintenance is not extravagant, then i'm ok
must be able to get loan

My first choice is currently satria neo 1.6 (A) 2008.

Any other good opinion.

regards,

Need recommendation for a 7 Seater SUV. Needs to be an SUV not a MPV.

Brand : Anything Japanese, Korean, USA
Budget :140;-165k
Used/New/Unreg : NEW
Transmission : AUTO

wait wut..... error spotted.....

anyway, 15k for a neo?? Car generally costs more than that and would need some work with that price tag

neo's handling is pretty good for the price but.... a car with worn parts wont handle that well. Prepare some spare cash to deal with worn stuff AND for god sake do not get a car which has been involved in a major accident
Don't expect it to be very fast. The campro 1.6 with an auto tranny is recipie for sluggishness paired with above average fc.
Also.... are you not looking for a sedan? persona and gen2 should fit the bill.

a good handling car at that price which can be loanable is abit difficult tbh...

Need recommendation

Brand : Mazda, Honda, VW
Budget : 140k
Used/New/Unreg : New
Transmission : auto

I'm currently lock on 3 choices, Mazda 3 HS (121k) , Honda Civic 1.5TC-P (135k), VW Jetta highline (133k)
Hard to choose.....

Just forget about the Exora, Santa Fe and Rondo.
They're utter crap in the long run.
Exora even with turbo is gutless on the highway especially with 4 adults onboard.
Santa Fe and Rondo may be cheap to buy and seem to have alot of "accessories" but overtime the upkeep won't be worth it especially with Estima and Serena available within budget range.

Estima the most headache part is getting the right spec because basically recon dealers bring in only two spec the 2.4 and 3.5, although the 3.5 v6 would be nice to have on the highways the maintenance bill and roadtax isn't too friendly, but usually it will be the one with the highest spec like power doors x2, power boot, rev cam, etc.

I think the 2.4 would be better for you but beware as some dealers advertise a 3.5 as a 2.4 just to grab the customer to the lot then try and use his salesman skills to close the deal. pitfalls for the 2.4 is the spec, some spec really kosong only 1 power door, some got 2 power door, those got power boot can be considered full spec but hard to find usually it is a 3.5 advertised as 2.4 to lure customers.

As a used car the 3.5 and 2.4 are priced around the same so it really depends on what you want.

The 2.4 has a similar engine to camry and is the more common one on the road so cheaper upkeep. Might be a little sluggish in town with start stop traffic with a full load but on highway it is capable enough.

serena is also a good buy, the hybrid part is like F1 KERS system where it is just used as a boost for pickup, just drive normally and ignore it you can even turn it off......the battery for it is very small coz it is just meant as a boost not a true hybrid....if the hybrid system fails totally it just reverts back to a regular 2.0 no biggie. uses the same 2.0 as the teana/sylphy which is why the electric boost is needed for some oomph. all in all should be pretty cheap to upkeep and cheaper roadtax than estima but imho it is rather ugly.
When people say spacious mpv they're not looking for "c-segment" mpv's like stream/wish/isis/livina/exora.....they're looking for "d-segment" or full size mpv's like estima/grandis/serena/odyssey   
i think you can do better.
my sister got a mitsubishi asx for around AUD7000-8000 i think it was only about a 3-4 year old car.
since you're new to straya lemme share something with you.
locals never buy a car they cannot buy by cash or pay for it within a year or less.
i would say that i30 is on the higher end, unless you really like it then different case.
if u looking for a good deal, that ain't it.

Honda Civic: too ricer boy style, CVT transmission is lifeless (unless you like it like that).
Jetta: questionable reliability and service, resale value drops like a stone.
So just take the Mazda, it's the cheapest anyway but maybe also the slowest not as roomy inside.

Hi Bro, appreciate your comments. However, estima and serena is out of my budget. Within my budget i believe i might able to get very very old estima which is likely 2006 years, as for the serena, i found one used serena last week, went and see, condition so so, but the price is almost 95K OTR. Did you think old estima worth to get as well?

Comparing a 2 years old VIOS J(A) and new VIOS.

used 2014 RM55K vs new RM70K (after rebate, discount and NCB).

used 2014 VIOS - 4AT(reliable), save RM15K upfront.

new VIOS - with VSC, new CVT is fuel saving but unproven, new DVVTi engine.

Monthly travel less than 1k km.

Your advice is most welcomed! Thanks.
