Need advice / suggestions for comparisons cos I am noob in cars. Also should I buy now or wait till festive season promo? I saw some promo from dealers trying to push 2018 new cars at lower price point. Are these cars worth buying?

Dear sifus,

Would like to seek your thoughts and opinions.

I m currently looking to buy a new car (not considering used cars cos I don’t know how to inspect cars, wouldn’t know if the car has been involved in accidents or submerged in flood water).

Budget: below RM150k, the lower the better... hehe
Brands that I don’t want: Proton and Perodua (both cars I had were Perodua, looking to try other brands)
Type: hatchback, compact SUV, sedan with short rear like Honda City is fine...
Usage: Mainly city driving in Klang Valley, on weekdays mostly just drive to work if working in office

Things I look for in order of priority:
Value for money, reliability, efficient fc, looks good n modern...

I prefer higher cars but that’s not a dealbreaker...

Also, I see most models now comes with Hybrid option. Is it worth getting a hybrid or better stick to normal petrol cars?

I am aiming to keep this car for the long term, hopefully can reach the 10 years mark.

Many thanks in advance notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

If you prefer shorter cars (in mm)

Yaris 4140
City Hatch 4345
HR-V 4385
Vios 4425
City Sedan 4550

Can go test drive these models above by just visiting UMW and Honda outlet.

Anticipated low mileage & less things to go wrong,  just stick to cheaper normal petrol cars no need hybrid.

Thanks for your feedbacks. In terms of reliability, between Honda vs Toyota, which one is better ya? Cos in the past few years, I have seen news about these two brands recall certain batches of their cars.

Also, will Hybrid really save us petrol cost in the long run?
