Well, yea they are actually paying it. They wanted to buy me a new one last year but I refused because I think that current ride still can be used then why go get new one. But I was wrong, I never know that my sis who drive it for the past few years, we give her a good condition car and she never bother to maintain it properly. End up, when I am using it, my parent need to change so many compartment. Tires, water tank, battery, absorber rear, shaft, suspension, belt, mounting, bulb, eo, auto oil, sparks plugs, thermostats, air filter, scratch marks at rear and front bumper, dents from and back which ketuk back with poor workmanship, we asked is it dented before she says no well its pretty obvious women....
Initially my plan was using it until I get a job then only get myself a new ride. End up last month they offered me to change new car.....
My opt now will still maz2 and city. Will test drive it only decide. Thanks for the head up.
I'm getting a clearer picture now.
I think you've been here to ask this before.
And I thought you're going to repair and keep the Vios.
Although repairs are cash it would only hurt for that short period once it is sorted you practically have a free car.
Vios is built pretty well so unless there is something horrifically wrong with it RM1000-20000 should be able to sort it out.

I can afford around 3k servicing cost per year, would use from home to work alone daily with occasional balik kampung holiday(two backup cars city 2015 and saga blm 2009 both bought brand new and well maintaned)
Mainly for the space, im 6 foot 120kg. Tested new santa fe, tucson, sorento, mazda 2, mazda 3, cx3,cx5, accord, crv, new civic, suprima, teana, navara, hilux, fiesta, hrv
All got provlem with leg room (width issue with knee cramp touching center console. Ok size would be sorento, cx5 and old volvo 850 (my dads).
Would consider any segment as long as theres space for myself. D segment all boast space but not for driver except contis.
Thinking of going seken hand route as new cars are small and pricey.
2007 Skoda Superb 2.8 V6 - a little known and underappreciated car. It is from the same stable as Volkswagen and Audi but the runt of the lot is made in Czechoslovakia not Germany. Technology and specs is the same as the German counter parts which is why eventhough it is a dead brand in Malaysia you don't have to worry about parts because you can either use VW/Audi parts (the SC is going to charge and arm and a leg though) or Dunia Prestasi Auto (Berjaya) which is the official importer/distributor for Skoda before they stopped the brand but the company is still around but they're handling other brands now. You also have the option to get things done at Singapore they've better equipped SC there, and finally if you're savvy enough you can get the contacts from Skoda Club members to get things done I know one shop in Jalan Ipoh that carries Skoda parts and also they have links to websites overseas to bring in parts cheap. If the 2800cc roadtax is too much for you then you may consider the
2005 Skoda Superb 1.8 Turbo which is the same car pre-facelift but otherwise the size, quality and safety aspects are the same. The 1800cc turbo is lifted from the same stable as the older VW Passat and Audi A6, which is a TFSI 1800cc turbo engine mated to a 6 speed automatic slush box (not DSG don't worry about DSG failure coz at this point in time DSG still under R&D).

To request recommendation, this is what u need to post:
1. Brand : New Persona/Bezza or Second hand Vios or City Year 2010
2. Budget 50k
3. New/Used/Unreg. (New = New Unit, Used = Used unit, Unreg = Unregistered @ Malaysia JPJ yet.
4. Specs : Any
5. Transmission. Any
6. NA or FI : Any
7. Type : Sedan
8. Fresh grad and my budget is to have an installment plan of RM500/ month, and I hope to drive the car for long term (around 5-7years), which one should I buy?
RM500/month * 7 years + RM5000 downpayment = RM40,000 budget not RM50,000.
From the revised budget you should be able to buy the lower spec Bezza.
From what I know you're not losing much of the safety features mostly accessories, and only the range topper advance gets the ESC.
2011 Nissan Latio Sedan 1.6 - you should consider the Nissan Latio over City/Vios because those are high RV cars so you've to pay more for younger cars or to keep it within budget you've to settle for older ones, this particular advert is for a 2011 car (5 years on is still quite okay). In terms of technology it is quite basic like the Vios the engine and gearbox are standard types with nothing fancy to go wrong so it is easier and cheaper to maintain. It should be slightly cheaper to maintain than City because regular gear oil is cheaper than CVT oil. As for space the Latio is a C-segment (or jumbo B-segment if you will) so it gives you more space than Vios/City driving around will be more comfortable for you and passengers.
2013 Nissan X-Gear 1.6 - although it is not a sedan I thought I show you this as it is a very underappreciated car from Nissan thus even for a quite new car it depreciate like a rock but it is actually a pretty good car. It uses the same engine and gearbox as Latio/Livina. Space wise it is bigger than Latio, it is a full size C-segment crossover/wagon. I think for your budget this is a good deal.
