- Proton perdana 2017-2019, 2.0L
- Honda engine / parts under the hood, spare parts easier to find
- NA auto
- Considered almost same range as Accord except internal not as fancy
*estimated price range between 45-50k depending on year and nego
**recommend to double check gearbox during test drive
**recommend to check white/black smoke after test drive concluded and parked
thanks for the reco, not so into Proton thou... also I saw this car before and its too long(5000mm) for me that usually drive alone

Some feedback from me, others might disagree
- can you increase your budget in the near future to get a better car? If so and can wait, then keep using your current Bezza if no major faults. The RV continue to be high even until 10 years old.
- your budget 50K does it include repairs, touchup if buy used car? I have a 2016 HR-V going into year 9 soon have set aside 5-6K. Also buying used car usually means taking over some problems fron current owner (hopefully not major accident or flood etc) so yoi need to get help to check very carefully if budget is tight.
- city drives (mostly alone?) can consider Ativa X 63K.
It is a JDM replica and well designed (exclude those over 5'10") with max torque coming in below 2000 rpm. Nippy acceleration in start stop city roads. 5 yr warranty peace of mind.
not planning to increase much budget as I dont want to spend as much on car, but thanks for the insight about the Bezza RV.
yea, did set aside 2-3k expecting some repair work for a used car, now I know I have to expand the budget
I did test drive last time, somehow I feel the interior is abit narrow to me, maybe because Bezza have a bigger windscreen compare to Ativa
