I am assuming it is going to be an all cash deal.

JDM route for Malaysia you either go with Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru Impreza WRX/STI, Nissan Skyline Godzilla or Honda Civic Type-R.
These 3 have the most vibrant community, easy access to parts and specialist workshops.
Myself I'm part of the Subaru v10 club and they're a great club to be, friendly and no lansi fella's.
No joke that these cars are sought after until converts from Mitsubishi Lancer Cedia to Evo 7 are floating around 60-80k range nowadays, and the basic 1.8cc auto model hasn't gotten cheaper and for a 2005-2007 model floating around 25-30k they're snapped up as soon as they're put on sale.

2009 Toyota Camry Aurion - if you're looking for something newer then this might be the gem for you, this is a rare nutcase job where they jammed the 3.5cc v6 from the vellfire into a Camry then as if that's not enough they plonk in a supercharger as well. No turbo lag, instant power, great sleeper car. Go to wrap shop and wrap it with that boring Camry metallic blue/grey, put a high quality dashcam facing backwards then see the faces of people in their wannabe sports cars go ohmy.gif shocking.gif

Conti route is interesting as they depreciate like a rock you can actually play with prestige brands like Porsche or luxury brands like Bentley.

2009 Porsche Panamera 4.8 - at 98k they're practically giving it away, if you gonna use it as your daily then prepare for a huge upkeep bill but as a weekend car it's alright. When you start to change stuff for this bad boy you know you're at an elite level. Checkout the price for the exhaust upgrade.

For me one project i would love to do is jam the f1 exhaust into the old s600 and make it sound like a pagani zonda drool.gif

they are very similar in that they're asian cars with near conti spec/look/feel/safety standards for new vehicles.
they're priced competitively or slightly above japanese brands for certain models but they're packed to the brim with accessories and spec.
they don't hold resale value that well, but certain models do have decent resale values or a cult following.
they'll be slightly more expensive to maintain than most japanese makes.

the thing is about Hyundai's unless you getting an older turbo diesel or newer turbo petrol models, don't even bother.
SK is a diesel bias country so they make good diesel vehicles and turbo diesel vehicles, and turbo vehicles in that line of thinking.
their n/a cars are alright but usually fall short of power/fuel economy compared to japanese cars.
especially mazda, because mazda abandoned doing hybrid cars in favor of their skyactiv engines which they claim can give hybrid car like fuel economy without sacrificing performance, which they delivered.

On handling alone, if u happy w Bezza, then Axia will do fine.

If you felt the Bezza like sampan and need something better, eg. For highway drive, then Saga handles better but at the expense of higher fuel and lower resale in future.

I believe if you need a car NOW then you don't really have a choice.
As far as I know, due to shortage of microprocessors alot of cars cannot be produced right now.
However, Proton got stock for Persona/Iriz/Exora/Saga.
These are the facelifted last hurah for these cars with internal design.
Next gen will be Geely/Volvo stuff.

Polo Sedan is the older model, it is now called Vento.
Basically it is the same product with different name.
The NA with 1.6MPI uses a 6 speed aisin slushbox.
Overall, probably the most reliable conti you can buy for that budget.
And usually you can get it pretty new compared to other brands.

2015 Mazda 3 - it might be an older model and only 1600cc but based on your budget this would be a better value. Polo Sedan/Vento is a b-segment car but the Elantra/Cerato are c-segment cars, you want a c-segment but if you choose an Altis/Civic it is going to be expensive or old, then Sylphy/Fluence has gearbox issues. That leaves Mazda and of course you get abit lesser spec as this is the 1600cc model but at least it still looks good today, has half leather seats and from certain angle looks like the mazda6. Upkeep about the same as elantra/cerato but those are low volume korean cars you might have difficulty getting some parts for them which will land you at the 3s and that is going to cost u a bomb.

Driving a 2011 city. From new till now. No issue so far. Wear and rear mostly. It's the same model with 2009-2010.

If possible bump up your budget to get 2012 facelift version E spec though. That's the one with VSC. Mine and what you are looking for dont have VSC

Now drive very short distance only. On dashboard, say 8km/l. Used to be 10,11,12km/l. Working from home since last year. Drove once interstate only. 99% drove to pasar supermarket taska within 3-4km

But im not bothered. Last year rmco drove once balik johor wife hometown, still can achieve maybe 5xxkm full tank. 35l.
Just like old days.
