The polo hatch tsi is not as problematic car? Maintenance wise ,expensive right>? samo its, a 2012 unit. Hav about 30k budget too.
Polo/Vento have two variants in the market now.
The 1600cc MPI n/a engine with 6 speed slush box or 1200cc TSI engine with 7 speed DSG.
The newer batches have all the TSI and DSG issues resolved from the factory so better reliability but since they're complicated technology of course if it breaksdown or needs replacement once warranty over it is going to be expensive. Older ones which you see floating around cheaply are probably cause owners got fedup of the cars before VW came out with the solutions to fix it, if you're looking for a value buy this might be it but i'd suggest you go lurk in VW Polo forums to get further information from actual owners on what to expect from real world maintenance and if buying older ones with the issues what are fixes or where to fix the bugs.
Of course if you have a higher sub-50k budget i'd recommend you get a pre-reg Polo/Vento -- interested in this you can PM me for further info.

1. Brand - Any
2. Budget - RM50-60k
3. New/Used/Unreg - Used (Not more than 5 years old)
4. Specs -
5. Transmission - Auto
6. NA or FI - Either one
7. Type - Sedan/SUV
8. Remarks - Actually I am comparing between Hyundai Elantra & Subaru XV or maybe Kia Cerato, my main concern would be on the maintenance costs and spare parts availability and of course durability (wont breakdown easily). I am working as a salesperson which requires alot of travelling across states, SUV is my top choice due to that reason. I have heard that Korean cars are never being well-known for their durability while my worry on Subaru XV is the spare parts availability and costs in case of any breakdowns. SIFUsss out there, any advice would be highly appreciated! Thank you!!!
usually for sales people i'd recommend to go for a new Myvi, Axia or Bezza because of the high mileage involved.
the math works out like this you buy a 37k bezza for example, with sales person high mileage you should be near 200,000km within 5 years.
often than not a sales person although time is quite flexible but would rather have a reliable car than waste time at workshops instead of yumcha sessions with clients.
also some a*hole companies think they own the person's life would expect a salesman to be 100% working during office hours so a reliable car is a must.
thus a bezza/axia makes since as you're spending sub40k for a new car that will last 5 years which have decent resale value so in another 5 years you can replace it with another car/model within that price range and start the process again.
however if you do a lot of inter-state travel I don't really suggest going for b-segment car like myvi, vios, city because it lacks long distance highway NVH, comfort, performance and safety.
2014 Toyota Altis 1.8 G-spec - I think you should go for a C-segment car, this is an ultra reliable car. It as timing chain so don't need to worry about timing belt snapping and killing your engine in the middle of no where when you're speeding across states. You'll be able to cruise around at higher speeds at lower rpm thus better fuel consumption. And of course more spacious and comfortable with better safety features. I mean of course you can use an A-segment (Axia/Bezza) or B-segment (Myvi/Vios) to cross states but trust me it will be your taxing on your body and mind.
The equivalent would be Nissan Sylphy and Honda Civic but at that price range you'd only get a Civic FD Hybrid which I think you'd wanna stay away from those if you're focusing on lowering your upkeep, Civic FD which have become the new riceboy car so it's going to be abused so stay away. Sylphy is decent but it has a weak gearbox that can overheat, it is cheaper than Civic and Altis but if you're considering it remember to get a gearbox oil cooler for it.
2016 Renault Fluence 2.0 - this is actually a Sylphy re-skin so if you like the Sylphy cheapness but hate the design you can consider this.

Hi guys..
I'm planning to buy my first car but the car that im currently driving is not under my name. So, is it possible to trade-in the old car for the new car? will they accept it?
thanks.
Yes, the process will be more painless if you're buying new car instead of used/recon.
Just tell the SA you want to trade-in your mom's car.
After evaluation the used car dealer will give you the price then you can say yes/no.
What happens next depends on how terror your SA.
If he not so terror you have to give your car to the used car dealer immediately.
Then you'll receive a bankers cheaque with the agreed amount.
You can cash it in and use it fully to pay for the new car or deposit.
If your SA is like world class type you can continue to use your car (just make sure nothing happens to it during this time before the transaction is complete).
The SA and dealer will make a side deal so money goes into the car company (e.g. Honda).
You can use 100% of the money or just deposit and request to refund the rest in cash.
If you choose 100% then you don't need to pay anything further from the rm100 booking to sign the VSO.
Assuming bank loan no issue or trade-in can cover the sum of the new car (e.g. trade-in an Accord for a City/Jazz).
Then all you need to do is wait until all processing done then go collect new car.
Before doing so you need to sign off the final documents (DO and anything else required).
Then exchange car keys.
That's it.
