I meant the shape of Jazz looks so gay compared to a Sedan ..........

Maybe Honda should produce a twin door coupe like E46 318Ci type of body or Proton Putra type of body with "tail"

I believe it would be a hit.

IMHO, BMW cars looks more sporty compared to Merc vis a vis , but Merc is more lasting & cheaper on parts, Toyota is a JDM, you cant compared a durian with an apple bro...........different league devil.gif

For your case, better get employed by some one than being self employed................. laugh.gif

Hi all,

    I'm looking for a fun to drive car not older than 2010. With good reliability and some practicality. Currently the list on my mind as below, :

1. Suzuki Swift Sport ZC32S
2. Ford Fiesta ST
3. Peugeot 208 GTi

Do share if you know of any other car fit the bill.

How reliable is the Fiesta ST and 208 GTi? Are they expensive to maintain, do share some example.

Much thanks.  notworthy.gif

FYI

before 2006 i325 is actually a 2.5  cry.gif
after 2007 i325 is actually a detuned 3.0  devil.gif

Visual inspection seems fine

When you go see the car make sure:
1. No xmas tree dashboard when you turn on the car
2. All the buttons work, ALL OF IT
3. Make sure tires has lots of life left in it, replacements aren't cheap
4. Best if service has just been done, you're looking at RM400 over at minimum per visit

Detuned 3.0 ?

What you mean by xmas tree dashboard ?

Most jelly wont think you are showy cause they themselves are against your preference, hence haters will be haters

Once you drive a beemer, you wont want to drive other cars............the poison is there , keyword = fun .

Dun worry too much over maintenance cause any cars also need to pay for maintenance , cross the bridge when the need arise, and enjoy the ride as for now.........FUN is the word......

Sifu lsm1991 zenix Dilemma on choosing either one, my current ride is honda City IDSI 2003 (13 yrs) and plans to change one soon.

Got few options.

(1) Madza 6, 2.0 (yr2012) - 65k to 68k
(2) Madza 3, 2.0 (yr2012) - 60k to 65k
(3) Honda Civic, 1.8 S (yr2012) - 65k to 70k
(4) Honda City, 1.5E (yr2012) - 53k to 57k
(5) Honda Jazz, 1.5E (New) - 70k to 72k

Dislike Toyota although admit it has a good RV but the design is too awful for me.

Time to look West, but a Conti instead, E90 , cheap & fun to drive in your range of budget

Entering the market in fully-imported (CBU) form for now, the new 5 Series is available in just one variant – the 530i M Sport, priced at a very competitive RM398,800 on-the-road without insurance. Included is a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, a five-year free service package and a two-year tyre warranty.

for your case i guess Hyundai Ioniq HEV Plus

definite fuel saving since its a hybrid and you mentioned city drive with occasional highway... boot space of 750 liter...
since you have baby, Ioniq is packed with safety features as well for the HEV Plus model... Lane keeping assist, Autonomous Emergency Brake, Smart Cruise Control, 7 airbags etc... dont get stingy on safety yo  icon_rolleyes.gif

now with 3 years free service and 8 years warranty on battery pack... at least give you a peace of mind if you afraid of Kpop product...

im eyeing on Ioniq as well... in a dilemma between Ioniq HEV+ and Civic 1.5T...

Civic 1.5T , safer bet than Korean niche

You wont go wrong with a proven brand

if get Civic 1.5T then its mostly for me  biggrin.gif
but if get Ioniq, then its mostly for my family...

i got a 1 y.o+ kid and wife's car is myvi... myvi small and lack safety so hardly use it... just keeping as spare car since its already paid off...
wife office just a block away from mine, so car pool...so the new car will be used a lot to drive them around...

im quite a heavy footed person... so if get civic 1.5T sure a lot of spirited driving... but with Ioniq hybrid, silent and not as powerful, i think i would drive more carefully  tongue.gif ... also ioniq more safety packed and bigger cabin space than civic... thus the dilemma...
*
A guy would not like a car without the FUN, maybe you can trade in the MiVi for Ioniq [ for your wife ]


And the 1.5T for yourself, its a fun drive all the way !!!!
