I'm actually looking to buy early next year. waiting pre reg vehicle. much cheaper that way. just hoped there is one. VW might get 50% this time next year.. might consider Vento again . LEL

no it will not get 50% just stick with Iriz Sedan(New Persona) which will release late in 2016 otherwise get suprima s standard now thanks

when you say downgraded to B segment they lower down the specs of the engine is it? the space is also downgraded?

Thanks  thumbsup.gif. From your examples, I'll budget an extra rm5k just in case then.
*
the extra unseemingly high ones are those scalping big time... i think 2-3 k should be more than enough..... hmm.gif really you should pay em a visit and ask the dealer yourself.....

remember to budget a sum for maintanance!! icon_idea.gif

Hello sifus,
If I want to buy a 2nd hand car (cash not loan). How much "extra" do I need to have in hand to cover the other expenses (e.g. insurance, change of ownership, inspections e.t.c)? In particular i am considering this one bmw e46 320i

*
Either go for 318i [ 1.9L ] cause I was told that this is a work horse & less problematic than its 2.5L brother , less issues to tackle , even change engine oil/plugs also less , 4.5 liter vs 6.0 liter & 4 plugs vs 6 plugs. Downside is less torque compared to a 2.5L & if you go for Club meets, you will felt alone [ powerwise ] cause all your other members will be driving a 2.5/2.8/3.0L , zenix advice me on this thumbsup.gif

Avoid the 3.8i 2.0L engine.

But then again the 2.5L is a very machine & you pay lower roadtax compared to a 2.8 or 3.0.

E46 318Ci if you like 2 door coupe



This car will put many God car to shame

1. Brand : Proton or VW
2. Budget : 70-90
3. New/Used/Unreg : New
4. Specs : -
5. Transmission : Auto
6. NA or FI : 
7. Type : Sedan
8. Remarks : I'm actually just looking for a reliable family car sedan. Got Honda City at home, so i'll minus that of my list. test drive the new Vento, and i'm loving it, just concerned with the DSG gearbox. advice guys? test drive Preve and Suprima before still not sure what to buy.. advice pls.
*
reliable, and dry clutches are very rarely if ever used together in the same sentence.... it's a risk you have to bear if you want such a car...

QUOTE(andrewyu2005 @ Jun 29 2016, 02:06 PM)
Please go and get Suprima S standard because it is cheaper than preve cfe and it's interior quality is better than preve cfe. If you love vento,then stick with vento.
*
omaigod why......
Suprima S/preve cfe use the EXACT same interior panels wherever it can be reused.... there is no quality/built dif between the 2

who mentioned downgrade??
b seg = smaller than c seg, thats it
a Myvi with a 7000cc turbo and supercharged engine would still be a B segment

No it will not downgraded its specs but it will downgraded its segment which makes people sad a bit.It is ok Because Overall it will be look like iriz.Then if you have money,please go and get suprima s standard. Please go and ask LSM1991 and Zenix.Dont ask me because i dont really know about proton suprima s standard.

you have to ask LSM1991 about suprima s and preve cfe because he knows these cars more than me. And he was born in 1991 and he is older than me. I was born in 1997.

Greetings dear cars sifu,

I currently own a manual myvi and I do not have a deep understanding about cars, just the basic concept. What I really have in mind now is IS250(06-07), MK6, Civic 2.0(06-10), Mark X. I am ready to set 5k on maintenance and issues that might arise per year on top of my instalment. I am open to any car that looks a bit sporty and luxury with good handling, fun to drive and reliability(as long I fixed the major issue, it wont come back in short term).

Thank you in adv. smile.gif
