1. Below 60k
2. Age of car below 5 years
3. Don't mind small car
4. Use for going to work and back, fetch children nearby. max 30km daily.
5. Easy to maintain, I don't have familiar mechanic nearby, in Penang Island.
6. Must NOT be manual.

2nd hand ativa. easy to get in and out, more airbags than bezza. not as bad as the bezza or axia, but it is still a thin car. but imo a great choice for pure city driving.

2020 vios & city i see there are units around 60k. i like this gen vios and city. great space and utility.

alzas and myvis will be under 60k as well. but tbh unless gunning for the pre-fl versions, perodua just go for new. unless you know the car history.

here's a more atas option that will hit that 80k. camry 2.0gx >2016. must be gx for updated safety. its quite alot older than 5 years but i think its still a good deal. but harder to maintain cuz direct injection engine.

Agreed with Frog, with 60-80K budget just get new.
Then dont have to worry about familiar mechanic as can send to official service centre under warranty first 5 years. Enough time to scout out reliable ones for after warranty period.

But P2 cars are eggshells. One major collisions by heavy vehicle its bye bye kudasai entire family enter heaven. Thats why it has lots of active safety systems to try prevent accidents but if lorry-kun fated to isekei you then its your time. 🤐

If this is a deal breaker, then test drive new Proton when it launch
2025 Q4 Saga new 1.5L engine est 50-60K
2026 Q2 S70 Exec with new 1.5T 4-cyl engine est 70-80K

Edit: new Ativa X is 63K, no need get used unless budget 40-50K

I kinda like Yaris.
Is this 1 hit by a lorry and confirm gone even for Ativa?

Yaris is 88-92K new 😳

Asean Yaris is approaching end of model life.
All A& B-segment Toyotas here will outsourced to Daihatsu manufacturing who will build new models based on DNGA platform eg Yaris Cross.

Whether Perodua will rebadge this model (hence sold at a big discount under P2) remains speculation past 2 years 😅.
If it materialise, then you have a B-seg SUV for slightly above Ativa pricing.

Yes my kid has Ativa, love the 140Nm torque at low revs in city. But also eggshell.

My wife eyeing Yaris last time, back in 2019. So went to showroom look so-so. Cannot understand the price vs the interior all hard plastic, even Myvi kinda better Ringgit wise. So then rent Socar Yaris basic version for 3 hours on many occasions, we conclude nah not worth the money.

Bought x70 ckd instead

In my mind was thinking of Yaris 2nd hand but yes model is old. But I was also thinking new = bezza chassis dnga right? Haha.

New Bezza with DNGA chassis likely downgraded to WA-VE 1.2L 3-cyl engine 🤕 earliest 2027.  Still eggshell just like current DNGA models Ativa, Alza, Axia but acceptable to majority of Malaysians.

dunno if will bring new gen yaris or not also. but probably wont sold under p2 lah cannot self compete with myvi.

sure or not ada sauce mou 

Hey guys, I'm debating between new vs. recond MX-5 (Miata). My only criteria is it has to be manual.

Obviously new has 5 year warranty and service bundled in, but it's also stupid expensive at close to 300k from Bermaz. The recond ones max out at about 180k for a 2021/2022 model. So this difference of 120k is a lot.

My question is: is the MX-5 Miata generally easy to maintain (any workshop can do it) and the parts are easily sourceable such that the recond ones are attractive options compared to the new one from Bermaz? Thank you kindly.

1. Brand -
2. Budget - below 50k
3. New/Used/Unreg. - Used (Max 5-6year old)
4. Transmission.  - Auto
5. Type. - SUV or cross over (No segment A)
City driving and occasionally long distance.

Am actually eyeing on Xtrail 2019/2020, any input on this such as reliability or maintenance concern etc

Plenty of X50s on sale after owners trade in for new 4-cyl engine. If you OK with Proton after sales. Eg.
