agree with se7en,
swift would b a better choice.
jap vs continental
jap is always more value for money.
and a plus point my bro drives a swift.
no major defects i can say lucky
but that is what u expect from a CBU.
another point for you to ponder,
it is actually not reallyfuel efficient.
i did suggest you to get a 2nd hand jazz or a new city..

no worries,not ngam ngam to bear the car~unless i bear a civic now.....then i really ngam ngam able to afford it.

yeah bro,this is what i looking for.....
there's still a high demand of myvi...
i don't really know about peugeot's maintenance and spare part price...whether is easy to be found or not.



I never asked if i wanna keep my car or not.....i just need advice on buying swift or 206cc

the new 206cc is 140K
i'm getting 3 years old,at 78k +-
which one did you mean that is not really fuel efficient?

jazz and city will not be my choice..as i don't get interested in honda's cars
besides civic,too bad over budget

Agree with you on that. Come on guys, if she already stated that she can afford a better car all by herself. By all means go ahead. I would pick the Swift anytime than the Peugeot coz the French has bad resale value, expensive to maintain and rare spareparts. The 206 is aging and getting old. If you insist on getting the 206, how about a new Naza Bestari 206? It's based on the original Peugeot 206 but rebadged and local assembled. At least its a new car with warranty.

the swift full tank u can only get around average 370km++

i dunno bout the 206cc fuel efficiency.
u get the car abt half it's price now.
but when u r selling it how much r u gonna sell it...?
the resale value can never beat a jap car..

thanks for your comment!
problem is i like both of them,but i can't buy 2 of them
resale value...hmmm....i think i will not sell it in short
i concern about the spareparts .....is that really difficult to get?

sorry,i'm looking for 206cc,which is the cabriolet 1....2 doors....differnt with 206 and naza bestari...
thank you


is that worst?
full tank 370?
my vios also almost 460km

opps, my bad, the cabriolet 206. Too be honest, it may look nice as fashion but its a crap at least to me. Sorry to say that. Rare spareparts is one thing, expensive to maintain is another thing. And dont be surprise if the French has more problem than your myvi. Have you ever consider the SmartForFour? Yaris?

Suzuki Swift (if you can afford it). Maintenance is less hassle and I believe it comes with 0% for first 2 years or something like that so it's quite a good deal for a imported car. Servicing a Swift (5K service) will set you back RM200 (oil change, oil filter and labour). There are some QC issues with the Swift. Some folks complain that the noise on the roof when it rains is a bit loud (and irritating).

Fuel consumption isn't an issue I suppose as you picked 2 cars that aren't famous for it's FC. No offence, but I sincerely doubt you'll be able to take care of a Conti car. They're really fussy and need a lot of attention.

If you do want to get a 206cc, get it from the owner direct or browse the PeugeotClubMalaysia forums as enthuiast tend to take care of their car better. Expect to set aside money (few grands) for parts change, especially if you're planning on getting a second hand one. Conti cars are great to drive, I tell you. Driving a Conti car and a Jap car has 2 different kind of feeling to it. It has a more dignified driving experience but it also comes with a price to pay. Part prices wise, there's a way to get Ori parts cheaper, but you need to join a Peugeot Club and there are 2 in Malaysia. My personal advice for a conti car is know your parts and their lifespan. Each and every part has a lifespan. Changing them accordingly (preventive maintenance) will ensure a pretty much problem free ride.

Personally, for RM70-80k, I'd get the Alfa Romeo 147. Nice 2-door or 4-door hatchback that's really sweet to drive and it looks and handles so damn much better than the 206cc. Honestly, if I had RM80k and a car to use already, I'd dump that money into the FD and wait for 2007-2008 cars. Selling your Myvi now, you'll lose a lot of money. So.. should you change or not? Maybe not... but if you can afford it, why not?

p.s. ever wonder why of all the PUGs, there seems to be more 2nd hand 206cc for sale than the rest?

I don't car much about resale value and stuff like that.

Having a convertable isn't that practical in our country. Of course you could always drive with the roof on top.

But the car doesn't look all that great.

A normal 206 would be ok.

Well, i don't think car selection here is important. A budget of 70 to 80k can get you quite a good car already. If the car is as troublesome as you mention, wish it goodbye, no point paying for maintenance that sums up like a monthly installment fees for a new car.

Unless you like the cabriolet style, otherwise go for a brand new Suzuki Swift. Besides, the new 207cc already announced.

i believe the myvi has 3-4 years warranty, and if one service centre can't fix your problem, it's time to move on to another center.
as for the losses from selling the car, i think it should be closer to 10k with interest added in.
as for which car to get, remember CKD swift is expected this year.
if style is your top priority get the 206cc, if you want practicality, get the swift. Since you at it, why not look at the toyota yaris or honda jazz (even more practical)

thank you both Bros for suggesting Yaris...

anyway:
Serious part:
from your choice, i personally will go for Swift. Reason being its a new car & have attractive promotion now...

Joking part:
ah... this is a rich & young gal lah... can PM me ur photo ka? get a Yaris lah.. then can be companion loh... hahaha...

common: (just for your reference should you need it)
i'm driving a Yaris now, getting it during the RM4k discount + 5years free maintenance offer...
now my milage <700km (not yet 1st service...)
the fuel consumption is on the bad side... doing only 310km for 30Liters of Shell (not V-power), but 100% city driving...
besides some might say "cheap interior plastic feel" which i somewhat agree, i still satisfy over my previous wira built quality...
i more thing: the sound proof is on the good side... very quite inside even on a busy road...

On that post on comparing the swift or the 206 (i assuming u taking the cc version not the bestari on ur earlier post), although sounds like a great idea for a lady to drive a 206 cc, but i would suggest take a look at a used honda jazz as well for the best all rounder for small cars.

Swift is a good choice however there are concerns on the service, maintainence (as Suzuki malaysia isnt that wide),possible poor 2nd hand value and so on.

I can see a 2004-2005 2nd hand honda jazz for around 70k or less.

Btw i just found out u dont like honda, but trust me, getting a honda in mysia is a better choice in mysia, as Honda has good service and maintainence in mysia.

Just wondering what wrong with ur myvi? We do have a discussion thread on the myvi and so far we recorded no problems.

Mind sharing some? Can u visit our myvi thread?

Get swift...peugeot 206 is too old already, in terms of design.
Swift good but abit pricey.

well, if ur driving a conti like peugeot, expect to pay a great margin to service the car, especially to our cuthroat naza! so it is expected the cc to be more expensive in parts, as logically the parts are imported from europe

whereas, a japanese suzuki swift, if im not wrong, its manufactured by drb-hicom, ckd, parts should be available locally and parts are interchangeable with most suzuki models, which means, parts would be easier to find than the cc

but in reality, what do u really need it for? i know a kid's grandfather, whose a huge restaurant owner in kampar, kam ling if u ever heard of it, he drives a peugeot 206cc, comparably, my uncle drives a toyota mr-s, its open top and priced to be similar too. that gives a lot of attention.

but of course, i heard the suzuki swift to have the best handling, if not the closest rival would be the proton satria neo, which is definately hot as i own one. but of course, ts, theres no seating space in the 206 cc, only dogs can sit there! peugeots are also known for unreliable engines, unlike the suzuki's, plus having a new car means ur gonna save money off maintaining a car! 2nd hand car means = expected maintenance.

206CCs are kinda famous for their leaky roof

so, my vote goes to the swift

i thought all suzuki swifts in malaysia are direct CBU from Japan?

there are CKD oso!!??

please enlighten me... e.g. how to differenciate them etc... this oso help the TS oso i think... thanks...

my bad , i think the suzuki apv is a ckd, whereas the swift is a cbu, and is imported by drb hicom, sorry
