QUOTE(lowya @ Jul 4 2016, 10:42 AM) any car that serves your needs and budget is the car you need, the answer can only comes from defining clearly your need and your budget, all else (perception of others) should not matter. i want a proton car which is better than Toyota and Nissan car at least. My budget is definitely below RM60k This post has been edited by andrewyu2005: Jul 4 2016, 09:50 AM

Decide this and u have already got the long awaited answer to your questionsssss. hatchback/compact is much better than mpv. But mpv is quite good too. However, i still prefer hatchback/compact.which car do you want me to choose?almera vs vios vs Myvi Vs i10 vs Iriz (the fight of Manual transmission) Mpv War exora cfe vs Grand livina 1.8 vs Alza vs Innova Vs Avanza This post has been edited by andrewyu2005: Jul 4 2016, 10:44 AM

QUOTE(lsm1991 @ Jul 2 2016, 04:37 PM) Don't mind him, he is just 'overenthusiastic'.... This is me being as nice as I can be I asked him to explain because I thought of buying either Exora or Avanza. So of course it's good for my to hear from someone who has experience driving Exora. By the way, currently I'm driving Proton Saga BLM. By the way, everything is good except power window and constantly got sound from engine.

is Suzuki Swift's maintenance higher than any other japanese cars?(cuz i've heard this before not sure true or not)
if i were to buy used Suzuki Swift, is there any model/variant i should be getting or avoid? (perhaps some model from any particular year has bad reputation)
tq in advance.

(perhaps some model from any particular year has bad reputation) tq in advance. i am not really sure about the maintenance fee of suzuki.but i think it is around RM200+ but if you want to to buy a variant,Buy the highest variant of Suzuki Swift.You must ask other sifu such as zenix and lsm1991 This post has been edited by andrewyu2005: Jul 4 2016, 09:07 PM

Have been searching for 2nd hand 2008 2009 camry (2.0G or 2.4V) for some time in JB area. However, it is hardly to get a nice camry with 60-70K here. Any other recommendation? Looking for comfort and reliable car.
I have another option recently. Elantra 1.6 around 85K OTR and K3 1.6 about 91K OTR. Can this be a nice choice?
Why 8-9 year old camry still so high in price?
