3. New/Used/Unreg : Used
4. Specs : Any

6. NA or FI : NA

Hi all, any recommendations? Pros and cons of both?
CRV from 2014 onwards
CX-5 from 2014 onwards

Main concern : Reliability and longevity of use(Another 10years++ would be good)

Any other models with RELIABILITY+LONGEVITY of use @ SUV within the price is fine too. Please recommend smile.gif

How old is your son, what is he driving currently and any problems , his size too big ? Distance very far ?

A new Ativa X 62K will get you 5 years of warranty and likely last you 10+ years with cheaper maintenance.

Thanks for your reply dogbert_chew

He's 20, still studying. Yes, he 6ft 3inch. Doesn't mind any models / brands as long he has the peace of mind as per mentioned.
He also doesn't mind old cars too. As long as a reliable small or med SUVs. Does prefer driving up hills and into terrain for hiking and workouts twice every week.


Thank you for your suggestion on the Ativa though.

Shouldn't be a problem to bring your mechanic 'friend' to check out the car as long as it doesnt involve dismantling anything for any used car dealers incl SD Auto.

Any used car is negotiable, just do your research and nego with knowledge. First is general market conditions (when manufactured, time of the year, possible fuel hike affecting larger engines etc)  then car model specifics (certain model weaknesses requiring $ to rectify, knocks and defects spotted, painting needed, worn suspension etc)

Thanks so much Chew!

Ah still looking around and still so many options out there..

Sime Darby premium selection, salesman told me the cars that they take, usually go through a stringegent inspection and make the neccesary refurbishments.. Not to sure if it's just cosmetics or inner parts as well..

Waa 6'3"! Forget Ativa..

Minimum B segment eg HRV can move driver seat back passenger still got space due to excellent Honda design for space. . Yr budget should get you a 4-6 year old model.

However these so called SUV cannot go offroad terrains, if really hardcore need 4x4..

I know right xD

Is HRV hard to maintain apart from faulty back doors etc? Is it that reliable and can it withstand for another 10years ++?

Please test drive..

Saga standard for sedan
Axia X for hatchback

Any questions can post in their respective threads.

If you have some experience relative or friend to help in checking out used cars, can carefully consider and budget in possible repairs to their lower purchase price.

Safe - perodua excels in active safety systems when you get the full specs.
Reliable - subjective but usually new cars higher
Easy to maintain - new car warranty gives a big boost first 5 years
Good handling - Axia yes, Myvi no, Polo gua tatao let sifus elaborate.

Actually which car depends on your driving pattern and transport needs in what environment.. If can elaborate then easier to give feedback. Eg. Family w kids?

For casual driving, personally I would consider the Myvi H for 50% more power and forgo the DNGA platform of Axia.

Do test drive both a few times to help your evaluation. Its free.

Hey guys, I'm deciding to change my 9 year old myvi that has served me very well throughout the entire time.

I've gotten a good promotion and pay increase and thinking of getting another car since my myvi is a little.compact.


1. Brand.: Any
2. Budget: < 125k
3. New/Used/Unreg: used
4. Specs: any
5. Transmission. Automatic
6. NA or FI ?: Any
7. Type: would have 5 people in the car but mostly only on weekends. Otherwise plan to use it as a daily car.
8. Remarks. Plan to throw about 20-30k for repairs on the cars once I get my hands on them if there's Anything to be fixed.

I've been eyeing a few cars, namely the 2015/2016 mazda 2.5 facelifted version, or going for f30 330i, es250 or gs250.

Kinda keen on the gs250 but a little worried about parts and all since it's been discontinued. I like audio and while I know there are aftermarket options, having it by default would be great. I'm looking for older luxuries if possible and fine with any brands to use it a daily driver to work.

I have experience driving a d segment car time to time, so I'm fine with the size.
