Hi sifus, thinking of buying a 2012 Nissan Sylphy at about 33k-ish. Your opinions would be appreciated

Any comments on this model and year? I heard the 2010/2011 model got gear box problem right?

Any used car dealer can recommend who is trustworthy? Don't want janji dicapati kinda dealer promise you accident free all no tampering then last minute find out the car is ready to fall apart.

Any advice on buying used cars would be helpful. Thank you!!

Nissan Sylphy is quite decent car. year 2012 the CVT gearbox got upgraded with oil cooler, check if this is the same model

overall parts are pretty inexpensive and not difficult to maintain.

power wise, although 2.0, it has only 13+ hp compared to toyota 14+ hp and honda 15+ hp.

2.4.

but also consider mazda 6.

if the budget is not a concern, go for top spec.

if budget is a concern.... suggest downgrade to C seg.

Base spec for accord isn't good on FC because of weight and underpower...

However civic although problem with their turbo... but their fc is better than 2.0 NA accord.

civic got problem with their turbo???? source please.

Hi all

after read a few reviews, the 2.0 seems to be more value for money. but questions linger on my mind

a) is 2.0 under powered?
b) honda sensing really worth it?
c) fuel consumption?

use it for daily commute to work and weekend with family (wife and 2 primary school kids)

thanks all.

Hi Sifus,

Currently having bezza and looking around for new/used car around 80k+-;

1) new - Toyota Vios (with rebate up to 9.2k with 5 years warranty)
2) used - Nissan X-Trail 2017/2018 with 1 year warranty
3) used - Subaru Forester 2017/2018 with 1 year warranty

Never have experience on used car before, would it be advisable to own an used car in terms of maintenance?

Thanks in advance
*
Vios should be a good buy because new car, 5 years warranty. Downside is it is a small B segment sedan
Xtrail better avoid, many with CVT gearbox and aircond compressor problem. Very under power, so gas guzzler
Forester is a good car, but maintenance a bit high, wheel hub problem and change of cvt fluid/ axle fluid not cheap

I've actually thought of the CX-5 2.2D, but just that my budget allow me to get it in second hand.

Lexus is good too but same goes to my budget doesnt allow me to get it. Thanks for the advice!

If you cannot effort a Cx5 2.2 Diesel, how would you be able to purchase a X1?

Hey guys,

I'm in the market for a car (for work purposes), and people have been recommending the Honda City to me. Questions:

a. for those sifus with experience, would you recommend this car to me? I'm a newbie (just got my P license last month lol) so what attracted me to this model is the ease of use (reportedly) and safety features.

b. Carsome is offering a secondhand one for RM70k, and a new V-Sensing one is RM94k. Carsome has a one year warranty, new five. Which one would have better value for money?
*
firstly, what is your budget?
buy a car within your budget, not what people recommend to you.

Hey guys, I could use some advice. I want to buy a secondhand car.

Last month I changed jobs and it pays well enough I feel I am ready for my first car. However, since I only started last month, I only have one month's payslip with the current workplace (while all banks want three). Is there a way I can still take out a car loan or do I have to wait for another two months?

I am not a new graduate (so I won't qualify for those schemes), and I'd rather not have my parents act as guarantors. However I can pay up to RM15k for down payment.

Any advice would be appreciated.
*
you can use your latest (newjob) payslip and previous employer (oldjob) payslip to make up 3 months.
banks will also look into your credit rating to determine you are qualified for the loan or not.

just browsing used car in mudah for mazda 3 liftback of Cx-30.

quite lot of choices. can trust? interest should be around 3% isnt it?

or just buy new? as mazda got 5 year free service & warranty

Please advise
*
you will never be able to get 3% interest for used car now.
probably 4-5% interest, also very much depends on the amount you wanna loan and your reputation with the bank.

Just bought 2015 mazda 3 sedan high spec low mileage ( serviced by bermaz ) for 66k. Worth every penny
Just need to topup 8k for atf,cabin and air filter, rear brake pads, fan belt tensioner and full set of suspension. Feels like a new car right now.

need 8k for atf,cabin and air filter, rear brake pads, fan belt tensioner and full set of suspension? that sounds expensive.
