Quite a few EVs around that budget to research & test drive.
Model 3
Model Y
Cooper SE
Kona
Ioniq5, 6

For petrol, instead of an unregistered conti, personally will stick to new Japanese eg Mazda, Accord, Camry for peace of mind.

What happened to your soul red cx5 2015 & electric blue myvi 2022 ?


No cruise control but good handling & comfortable seats

Cruise control starts with


But the handling weak due to chassis > 20 years old and get the lousy tiny Perodua seats.

Kecuali ada pengalaman atau otai2 bantu periksa,
mmg amat bahaya beli used car bimbang repair lagi
cecah beribu2

Whats your question?

New cars 50-65K cannot get Japanese
Only local options Persona (sedan) Myvi (hatchback) or entry level Ativa (SUV) Alza (MPV)
Which is not a bad option to replace your aging Getz since only travelling within Klang Valley.

My personal suggestion for husband and wife is try avoid both cars too old or both still under loan. Especially with growing expenses raising kid (possibly more incoming) in Klang Valley.

How fast do you drive on outstation travel?

Buying used units from those you know and are willing to share actual hidden conditions is a dream for buyers.

However,

A. Do you actually need a Csegment SUV

B. Can you maintain it from 7th to.. say 15th year in various conditions Eg. loss of job, removal of petrol subsidy..

Yup, upgrading to a safer car if financially capable is a good choice.

If I can get the CRV checked by my mechanic, would grab it as well to enjoy its advantages relevant to my needs eg space. With the higher maintenance cost factored in.

But if CX30 suits your requirement, space might not be a priority and the allure of a new car with 5 year warranty is hard to resist as the 2nd car Vios soon enters double digit age.

My standard feedback to couples is try to avoid two cars aging simultaneously with their expected increase in repairs.

There are other options starting from 90K eg

How about 2023..


X50 standard 87K


WR-V S 90K

2014 Prius C

Need expertise to check, funds to repair, experience to deal with used car dealer.

If not in a hurry see any news D66B in 2024.

The only 100K SUV provide spirited Genting is X50.

If japanese better consider WR-V better power/weight ratio than the heavier HR-V with same 1.5NA engine.

CX-3 i think everybody buys 2.0 to utilise the excellent chassis. Wasted with 1.5 and approaching 120k out of yr budget

Not sure how Haval H2 performs, is it still available new?

X50 ard 1.3 ton generate 230Nm below 2000rpm gave us spirited Genting drive each time, not YSKhong speed but enough to overtake almost all cars. But its chassis fumbles at very tight turns, unfortunately failed to correct the steer in time last month.

By no means its glowing choice but below 100K, still accelerate like crazy.
My kids Ativa is a different animal which I did not recommend to TS earlier as he preferred non local brands.

Need more info if possible
First car?
Driven how many years
Local brands ok?
How tall are you
Usual cruising speed on highway
Cash or bank loan?

Usually for younger folks, recommend drive used cars as they build up their skills. Not because they are bad drivers but sometimes not yet skilled enough to avoid other bad drivers.
But with 10 years under your belt, that shouldn't be an issue.

Purpose - point A to B, few times a week each drive less than 50KM return. Legal speeds on highway. Solo driver with occasional passenger. Suggest lower budget & shorter loan period unless brand conscious.

Here are some recommendations for you to test drive (important to determine comfort levels specific to you). If you like a model, test drive again and bring friends or relatives test together for feedback. Test drive 3rd time before booking.

Sedan - Bezza Advance 50K
Best selling model for 2023 thus far, poor handling if driven above highway speed limit, seats slightly small for 180cm.

Hatchback - Myvi AV 60K
Cheap to run & maintain, good resale value for upgrades in future. Loaded with active safety features. Dated chassis if driven hard and new Gen expected 2025.

SUV - WR-V S 90K
New model with proven engine (same as City & HR-V S). Slightly elevated position better view for city drives. Longer delivery for new bookings.

Sedans are preferred for better handling, hatchback provides versatility to carry bulkier items, SUV higher ground clearance also easier for older folks get in and out.
