QUOTE(dogbert_chew @ Aug 16 2024, 10:54 AM) It's a new HP agreement of 40K to replace the current one balance 20K. Whether the bank willing to do this depends on the Market Value of your current car. Cuba tanya bank. Thanks bro appreciate that. Alternatively leave the current car alone and get a new loan for the new car for wife. If she can drive manual and traffic jam not too bad, /ktards are suggesting Axia E manual 22K in the other post I will ask bank Love /k community forever lol |

Hi, looking to buy new car to replace current Bezza ( still in good condition, just wanting to upgrade)

SUV - WRV, HRV 1.5NA, CX-3 Since the Bezza still good and minimal usage, this is purely a branding upgrade? Whats your cross state requirement, distance & passengers?

What do you mean about aging Mazda 2? Does that mean the new Mazda 2 is not good? |

I hope this doesn't mean it's not reliable or anything bad 😅 I'm actually leaning more towards Mazda 2 now because I like the design and look. Will probably test drive city, vios and Mazda 2 and then the new facelift Corolla cross to decide which 1 to go with. |

There is another one with Electronic Parking Brake coming end of 2024, I heard. If wrong dun scold me. Madza2 is great to chuck around and pretty reliable since all the kinks have been ironed out. Just that your rear passengers get super uncomfortable as the seats designed for kids only 😅 City has the most powerful 1.5NA engine but their parts reliability seems to have gone down so if unlucky, more visits to service centre. Vios is manufactured by Perodua. It has the same engine, chassis, gearbox, steering wheel as another car that is 24K cheaper.. the Alza |

If I interpreted correctly you're also favoring more towards the Mazda 2 compared to the others 😂 Rear seats will not be a problem for now because I'm always traveling in max 2 pax 99% of the time.There is another one with Electronic Parking Brake coming end of 2024, I heard.

Looking for a change from my sedan to SUV. Most importantly, less headache when it come to maintain and for up to 10-15 years use
1. Brand : Japanese 2. Budget : 130k-150k 3. New/Used/Unreg : New 4. Specs : Any 5. Transmission : Any 6. NA or FI : Any 7. Type : 5 seater Currently also look at Mazda CX-30 and Toyota cross, just not Honda since Honda been given us a lot of problem on both car and the service center kind of giving us lots of trouble and not being honest. Both car seem good, quality interior and performance vs spacious and comfortable. Not sure which to go, and which got better deal This post has been edited by aH wAi: Sep 6 2024, 11:30 PM |

Even at the lower variants, Mazda 2.0L engines producing 160hp 210Nm driving a superior 6speed skyactiv transmission is a class higher than Cross 1.8L CVT. Unless you're looking for space (while waiting for the facelifted EPB to replace the ancient footbrake) or Hybrids, the Mazda is clearly a better vehicle to drive.

Cross GR Sport - heard it’s suspension kind of rough; Hybrid, not a big fan of it since Malaysian’s petrol are always cheaper, and the repair cost for hybrid (especially on its battery seem to be a concern) as I plan to use it for at least 10 years. And come across CX-5 today that it’s price is few thousand-10k difference too, hmm, interesting |

Safety wise, the two SUVs are somewhat similar, but you can explore in detail eg Mazda has G-Vectoring, Driver attention alert while Cross has Tyre pressure monitor, collision detection and so forth.Cross GR Sport - heard it’s suspension kind of rough; Hybrid, not a big fan of it since Malaysian’s petrol are always cheaper, and the repair cost for hybrid (especially on its battery seem to be a concern) as I plan to use it for at least 10 years.

I stressed my Prius for 6 years no issues. CX-5 is a pretty old platform, more space yes than CX-30 but errm.. go test drive. Bring along family and friends. 👍 aH wAi liked this post

Hi Guys,
Im having a 2014 Honda City E spec. Fully paid, would like to do some cash out. I’m currently thinking to sell it and buy a second car as I’m not driving often and would need some cash at the moment. Would it be best for me to sell the car and get a second hand car below 10K for the next 6 months to maximum 1 year before I go for a new car or would it be possible for me to refinance my car? I had check out with 2 dealers which my car be sold at 25K. Appreciate your help. If you would advice me to sell my current car and go for a second hand car below 10K what would be the choice of car I’m looking at to at least not have problems within the 1 year? Thanks again |

B. or would it be possible for me to refinance my car? A. Any used car got risk, need careful check by trusted expert. The smaller car segments repair usually cost less if unlucky. So would stick to say 2014 Axia E. If you can drive manual B. Check with your bank C. If you don't drive often, then Grab + public transport might be a cheaper option for the year instead of car ownership |
