At the same time, I’m starting to feel like I don’t really want to buy a car right now.
Budget feels a bit tight, and it’s a big commitment.

3. New/Used/Unreg : new
7. Type : car or suv. preferably suv
8. Remarks : ICE only. No EV. maybe can consider hybrid. priority will be more towards safety (both passive and active systems), small family so prefer more spacious rear seat, ample boot space, relatively cheap to maintain.  mostly city driving. dont like those cars with screen only to operate aircon etc. (just seen the facelift X50, otherwise that will be perfect)

8. Remarks : For wife, baby on the way. Was looking at X1, Mazda 3 Hatchback and CX-30, Audi Q3 and A4. Decided to put Audi at the bottom of the list due to maintenance concern. Currently leaning more to X1

Prefer smaller size compared to X3/X70/CRV
Probably a B-segment SUV/C-segment sedan
Less maintenance headache

zenix, cx8 or x90?

was told by Mazda that CX8 will be discontinued in 2026.
still make sense to get it?

Is showroom car generally good to buy as 2nd hand car?

considering jaecoo j7 phev. wonder what is the best deal available from their list price?

Went to see Chery showroom last time, kinda attracted to Tiggo 8 PHEV, new model. Inb4 they change the leather seat to kinda suede leather (this I like) and bigger HU kinda facelifted X50, as well as speedometer screen also like x50.

Believe so, got 3 row of seats. But expect the 3rd row purely for kids size

ask for general advice on some car financial advice.

buy the proton saga first, loan it for 7 years, own it for 3 years, then sell it off as the value will still be there,

add in some extra money for a down payment the car that I initially wanted to get,

main priority is petrol consumption,
current car is very old and it's a 2.4 Liter which my dad bought over from a friend, it drinks too much petrol and I can't handle the fuel price.

I may decided against selling it and instead, keeping it long term, so anyway 7 year loan is still feasible for me because 5 year loan isn't too much to my commitments liking

I initially wanted to get Omoda, I mean technically I could afford it, because in about 1-2 months I will get increment salary of 2K, which this 2K I have no use for it which is extra money.
