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.

Budget 50k-60k

Choice:2010-2015 Inspira,CITY 2013(Facelift),Iriz..Preve(new),Vios(2013)

Which is suit more for fresh grad?First time car user,frens regret buy preve,said used inspira much better and easy to make-up convert

Inspira parts are much easier than preve,iriz right?And  similar too in terms cost of maintainance? Engine oil,brake pads,etc etc

Fresh grad get Bezza. should be on your budget and one of the car to consider too..

Okay.
Don't bother to fix up the car when giving it to the used car dealer.
No matter what they'd offer you a terrible price for it anyway.

Maybe you can also consider the Civic Hybrid, it is around the same price but much bigger and comfortable.
I'd pick the 6AT from Aisan than risk it with the DSG anytime.
I might write about the DCT gearbox soon to explain more about the industry and why they're still supporting it.
Well....here is the thing.
Please tag me for this, I'd like to know more about DSG, DCT's, or other gearbox for that matter.
