Aren't you getting new X50 in 2 weeks?

If your existing B-segment is ridiculous for commuting & errands, why would you target new C-segment car?

How much is your yearly mileage? If not a lot then no point getting a more complex and expensive HEV with both engine and motor integrated just for fuel efficiency.

Feels something not right, eg HRV launched here 2015, how can it be 11 years old?

hence will list down all new HEV <170K below for consideration

Body	Brand	Model	RM'K
Hatch	MG	MG3	est 80-100
SUV	Toyota	Yaris Cross	est 100-110
Sedan	Honda	City	112
Hatch	Honda	City	113
SUV	Nissan	Kicks	114-122
SUV	Haval	H6	140
SUV	Honda	HR-V	141
SUV	Toyota	Corolla Cross	142
MPV	Nissan	Serena	150-166
Sedan	Honda	Civic	168

Normal ICE sedans between 100-170K only Civic, Corolla, Mazda3.

While waiting for /K EV experts to come in,
Isn't a brand new Seal at 164K within your budget?

From RM120K. Highest survival rate in case highway accident

May traverse slightly flooded or muddy soil roads during east coast monsoon

On the tyres alone, have a Kelisa most of the time parked in garage. The 8 yr old tyres are still supple and full thread I continue to drive around town.

Perhaps not outstation high speed run though and tyres degrade much faster if car parked under hot sun.

Hello welcome back from 2021 and congrats for getting the Iriz in 2022.

A. For comfort the City is not going to match the Iriz (if i recall my test drive of friends cars). Iriz is still the best car to chuck around corners while being extremely stable on highways. The 1.3 engine doesn't do the chassis justice though and it is better paired to the 1.6 Personally am still upset Proton is developing the new 1.5 Saga on the old Savvy platform rather than this one.

Hence I suggest you test drive the new City (still same platform as the GM6) see if you like it.

B. If cost savings is your objective, i would hesitate to move from
1. 3 year car to 6-7 year car
2. Known problem free car to unknown used unit
3. Normal ice to hybrid (need to maintain both engine & motor/battery & power split devices)
4.The risk of additional repairs as it ages will negate any fuel savings.
Say fc 10kml to 14kml, for 350km/weekly =1400km/month you save ard 40liters =RM82/month only (ron95 Rm2.05)

Hence if you want a better car, prepare to pay more and put aside cost savings.

Being saving up for an EV but if this launches at 70-80K, am getting one.

Most important - Test Drive a few times.

Bro, if you already have a car in mind, can try posting in car clubs

Can consider used Persona eg 2022 RM26K
https://www.mudah.my/2022-proton-persona-pr...a-110219987.htm
But be very careful check condition (flood, accident etc) even if still under warranty

If you can drive manual, a brand new Saga RM35K safer better handling slightly longer than Myvi is good choice with minimal city driving mostly highway.

Persona is still B-Segment but is slightly bigger than Myvi as you requested. Proton cars handle better than Perodua and their seats are more comfortable.

If you're looking for used C-segments then Preve, Suprima. Other makes include Civic, Altis. Perdana is D-segment.
Larger Segment vehicles, their maintenance and repair cost increases proportionally.

X90 is a mild hybrid SUV with captain chairs.
Last row seats fold flat into the floor

Why get a used 6 yr old BRV that's no longer in production when a brand new Alza based on Toyota Veloz is available at a similar price?

VTEC kick in for MPV carrying family? 🙄

Should get a Jazz then for better power weight ratio

Firstly, what is your requirement?
Single driver/ passengers or Grab, city/outstation, sedate/ fast & furious, some financial background - stay w family/ married with kids, only car in family or 2nd, 3rd car etc

Then comes your experience with used cars. Do you have regular mechanic - can chat about basic maintenance or this first car total noob. If so better get brand new. Cos the Bezza already 7 years, and the 88K mileage looks very suspicious like standard used car dealer adjusted figure. Also it is not stock.. Already modified. Likely heavily raced.

8 seats? Only Toyota Innova or Kia Carnival here.
If only Toyota can go search for used Innova.

Buy car for ONE family trip? 🤔
Or fetching family regularly. How many people, all adults?
If 7 pax, can consider new Alza 63K.

60K for Alphard? 🤔 What year..

Anyway, decide which used model that suit your budget (buy, repair, maintain). Join their club eg in Lowyat, FB to find out more about the variant pro & con before searching for a reliable non-accident non-flooded unit.

There is no Hyundai Satria 🙄

The staria is only launched 3+ years from 180K. Replacing the ancient Starex

Suggest you align your aspirations, model knowledge and budget
