omaigod.... x habis habis....
1)it is not for us to decide for you, we have already told you what we feel about it.....
2)lol compared up against these 3? they are in a completely different price range/category from the honda city, jazz and mazda 2... this is again like paultan comparing the axia with the iris.... heck why not compare the iris with a bmw since our ministers say, and i quote "Proton is on par with other premium vehicle brands like BMW"
3)if u want 100% (or 99%) positive feedback go ask paul tan (he has an account here in lyf pls go pm him)

now... u keep asking which is best... i have said once and for all i would pick the suprima given that you dont take price into consideration....
the only cons of the suprima compared to the iris i can think of are:
+ price - u never mentioned a price range so scratch this, not a con for you
+ larger size - useless drivers would have issues navigating the larger car into parking lots
+ maintanance costs - technically has a turbo, turbos needs to be serviced sometime later on. Also more exp tyres

now about performance... The satria neo which in my opinion is already not a fast car, just decent performer is faster than the iris... so in my honest opinion the iris has a lackluster engine (not that the fc is really that great)

lel. andrew you should really go for a test drive and see for yourself hows the handling and everything. See for yourself hows the handling in Iriz kia, or Vios.

since you say like that,.Lets hope that proton preve cfe,exora cfe,Iriz vvt and Suprima S can change the people's perspective about proton. Syed Zainal Abidin is a great man and look at proton right now.They have fixed the oil cooler which is the biggest problem in the history of proton from rubber to metal which is the most important things to the people of Malaysia.I would have picked Suprima S CFE but i have to see other people's perspective about proton iriz,exora cfe,suprima s cfe and Preve CFE. Thanks Lsm1991.

1. Brand : Any Brand
2. Budget : 50-60K
3. New/Used/Unreg : Used
4. Specs : 2.0
5. Transmission : AT
6. NA or FI : NA
7. Type : SUV
8. Remarks : The spec shd b reliable and less issue as using by old folk only for outstation driving.

I'm looking for a SUV type of used car. That car will be utilized by old folk which main usage is for long distance journeys. Their mileage of using is about 8K per year.

Hope our forumers able to provide some advise for which brand are worth to choose. Currently been survey for Honda CRV 2007-2009 & Hyundai Tucson 2011-2012 which cost 60K ++.

My dilemma is to choose between them. But if got other choices will consider it as well. So far, I've been heard Honda CRV for year 2007-2009 are quite good condition and seldom got any issue except it hydraulic pump which need to change after 80-100K mileage of using. For Hyundai Tuscon 2011-2012, I do not have any feedback yet but due to it is a CBU unit so afraid the repairing cost will quite high due to their spare parts hardly to find.

I'd appreciate any feedback from fellow forumers who able to provide me some precious advise about any SUV worth to own and with regards to ride, handling, comfort, reliability, maintenance fees, fuel consumption, etc for the Honda CRV 2007-2009 and Hyundai Tuscon 2011-2012. Most importantly, which car brand is the cheapest to maintain?

Thanks.

If you have to choose between Honda and Hyundai it should be Honda. Not sure tho, need to ask other sifus.

if you really want a car that is good. then pick honda crv 2009 over hyundai tucson.

Vehicles that fit the bill perfectly.
Honda CRV (from your pick)
-its found everywhere on our roads, parts are no issue all in all, a proven car.
Nissan X-Trail
-also a solid car, less common but reliable nonetheless

vehicles that kinda miss it by abit (this bunch are on the luxurious side)
Nissan Murano
-nice car, only issue? 2.5L tax~
Harrier
-also a nice car BUT the older 2.2L models are pretty old and looking abit dated now and the newer 2.5L models are nicer looking but cost quite abit more (correction, newer models are 2.4 not 2.5)

+both cars are very reliable and are basically mechanically speaking, bulletproof... luxury cars
-both cars do drink fuel rolling around in town

cars that i dont think you should consider BUT because i like to pop up with silly ideas that only appeal to me, let me throw in these 2 (jangan marah saya, i just really like these 2)
Toyota Caldina
Mitsubishi Airtrek
+both are 2.0L turbo vehicles, both very powerful, both sport oriented
+both share many parts in its others in their respective families....
-unfortunately they can cost abit to maintain cause... power and budget never go hand in hand
-yeah turbos~ u did mention na but i like power

yes ask him to get honda crv. For me i still stick with Iriz Mt 1.6 exec thank you for your advice. How come iriz is similar to hyundai i10.No it is not even similar to each other.Suprima S, Exora CFE and Preve CFE are the flagship cars of Proton. And Iriz is also one of the flagship cars of proton.
1) Suprima S
2) Preve CFE
3) Exora CFE
4) Iriz VVT

1. Brand : Mazda 3 2.0 GL year 2012 or Toyota Altis 1.8 year 2011
2. Budget : 70,000k
3. New/Used/Unreg : USED
4. Specs : GL or G
5. Transmission : Auto
6. NA or FI : -
7. Type : Sedan
8. Remarks :

Hi guys, Im super new to this forum. Anyways, i have been contemplating hard between these 2 modals. Im a salesman, in my line i need to travel alot. Currently driving a 1.3 wira aeroback, which is killing me softly everyday. Would love the next car to last me a good 10years (If possible). So i need an upgrade. Hence, i need your precious feedbacks =)

Option 1:
Toyota Altis 1.8 G, year 2011-12. price 65k - 75k
In my mind toyota has been building reliable cars, well at least thats what i think. Comfortable, maintenance shouldnt be an issue since its toyota, spare parts are everywhere.

Option 2:
Mazda 3 2.0 GL or GLS
Mazda are 5-10k cheaper and newer. (Guess its the brand)
Sporty looking, more powerful, not sure about the maintenance part since no frieds drive a mazda.

So pls comment....

jackbanner you might wanna add this to the front page.

Private vehicle finance companies I know of in Malaysia.

Toyota - Toyota Capital
Nissan - TC Capital Resources Sdn Bhd
BMW - BMW Credit Malaysia

Here are a few options....


License plate reverse camera - they'll still need to drill a small hole to run the wires but it is pretty universal can fit into any car.

replacement number plate illuminator - you'd have to surf around for a specific model for your car model, coz basically it is a replacement for the light that's shining on your number plate, no need to drill the wires run through the lighting casing.

usually no need to repaint, normally stone chips on the front bonnet cover only.
so just get some carbon fibre sticker or car color sticker to cover your car bonnet, or whole car wrap.
same cost as a repaint but u kept your original paint if u wanna sell the car later on



He no need test, listen to Paul Tan enough

Thanks for your advise, I've decided to opt for the XV.

First off when we're talking about less headache maintenance and reliability plus decent maintenance cost we can throw out Koreans and Conti's.

2010 Nissan Dualis - usually Nissan X-Trail would be a good choice but let's think outside the box abit, I know it is for old folks but you don't need to get them that boxy old folks looking car, you can opt for its JDM brother the Dualis. It is a JDM model so of course the build quality and materials used are better than the ones in the X-Trail but the best part is under the skin parts like the engine, gearbox, aircon, all wheel drive system, etc. is the same so you don't need to worry about limited parts supply or buying expensive flown in from Japan parts, you can use the locally made parts for the X-trail. Of course they don't look the same so if in the future an accident occurs getting body panel parts might not be as cheap but if an accident usually can claim insurance or 3rd party so I don't think that's a problem as long as your maintenance and upkeep is cheap that matters more.

2009 Toyota Fortuner 2.7 - the only black spot about this car is the engine displace of 2700cc of which the roadtax would cost you RM1,000 per year. Other than that it is a rock solid car like any Toyota. In terms of size it is slightly bigger than the CRV but they're in the same class, I think the old folks would enjoy a bigger and more comfortable ride while they're exploring the country. It is pretty cheap to maintain and parts are cheap as the Fortuner/Hilux/Innova share many common components. The only thing is your'll need to buy extra black oil for the bigger engine.

mai gawd! u damn c2pit!
this is the correct answer!



Since you're a salesman we'll look for cars that are cheap to maintain as well since most salesman would rack up the mileage very quickly.

If you consider the Mazda3 then you may want to consider the Civic. The Civic is about the same price and performance category. But maintenance and upkeep would be lower.

2012 Honda Civic 1.8 - this car is quite understated because I guess after the success of the 8th generation people expect much from the 9th generation were pretty much bummed as the 9th generation basically is like a major facelift of the 8th generation with cost cutting measures. No more K-series engine the 9th generation all only gets the R-series engine. Which isn't too bad as it gives pretty good pickup, top end speed (i've reached over 200 on the 1.8 without noticing that's how smooth & silent it is on the highway), and fantastic fuel economy. But the 140hp and SOHC engine make owners feel they only got 2" despite the benefits. So basically it is an ego issue if you can put that aside this is a good car, reliable, powerful and cheap to maintain. Unless you don't like it and feel like you're missing out coz the superb Civic Turbo is out now just replaced this disaster of a product.

2015 Proton Inspira 2.0 - another car that will be good for your pocket but will bust your ego abit. There won't be any issues for this car to last you 10 years because not only Proton makes parts for it, Mitsubishi and it's OEM partners also make parts for it. Maintenance cost and parts availability isn't an issue. It might not be as frugal to maintain as your Wira but it sure is modern with better safety features and much much better fuel economy. It also looks pretty handsome with that Proton bodykit. One thing I heard from owners is the Lotus handling suspension are more expensive than the Mitsubishi ones, but heck if you're not into it then just replace them with Mitsubishi ones in the future. I think for cheaper, newer, more reliable, good looks, performance and upkeep cost this car has it all.

No doubt Altis would be a good choice for what you've stated, and if you're adamant you want everything and it must be a Japanese brand then Altis is it. But if you want everything but it mustn't need to be a Japanese you can consider the Inspira. Well, by name only it is actually a CKD Lancer

Not a bad choice, there are people making crossover kits and lowering kits for this car.
And the result is fantastic!

ok

one more thing about buying used cars is that their dp is always higher than new cars.. i dont get that.. must be 10% one.. if new can get rebate la 0% DP

you are using the term flagship wrong...

dualist - whoa that thing looks more like a murano than an x-trail

here is one wearing the crossover kit

why? because there is no more inspira left so suprima s is the flagship car of proton right now. and Zenix, paul tan ask me to buy iriz mt.
