Perhaps new Axia car.. No need to worry about car maintenance warranty for few years. Used conti car 1.5 cc or above, hard to determine problems and fixes if there is any, and require / longer period to trace with many electronic components. Not many conti car on the road.. Few of my friends shared many conti car issues and switched to Japanese cars.

Axia Got VSC, ASA 2.0, TRC, EBD, Abs which are important safety features for A segment car. . ASEAN NCAP rating is OK.
Petrol consumption for city usage is minimal and convenient parking for women. Just a thought.

I am looking for a car for daily driving and maybe some occasional travel. I saw the new Mazda 1.5 at ~RM120K and it fits the budget. Asking if there is a better option out there.

1. Brand.
Traditional Japanese brand (Honda, Toyota or Mazda). Will consider new brand from China.

2. Budget.
RM 120K -130K.

3. New/Used/Unreg.
Prefer new since not really good at determining used car condition.

4. Specs.
ICE. Not EV. Can consider hybrid. 

5. Transmission. (Automatic, Manual, Sequential Manual Transmission, Tiptronic, AMT, DSG, etc)
Automatic. Don't care much if is CVT, DSG or DCT.

6. NA or FI ? (NA = Natural Aspirated, FI = Forced-induction aka Turbocharged/Supercharged)
Any.

7. Type. (Sedan, 2 Seater, Convertible, and etc)
Hatchback. Will consider sedan or compact SUV as well. 

8. Remarks. (add anything u like)
Space is not important. Prefer compact size car instead of large SUV.
ADAS with adaptive cruise control at low speed is preferred.
