if you are planning to change your 9 month old myvi for a new car, i would suggest you stick with the myvi for a few years.
you'll lose quite a bit of money selling the car now.

Save your hard-earned money for other more substantial things; after all, you already have a car, and it's not even a year old. It's unbelievable how ppl spend money these days...

Actually, you used the wrong words. There's no such term as "faithful opinion". The correct term is "honest opinion".

Secondly, go get a swift. It has good promotions now, and it has a good pedigree of excellent engineering, and third, it is a japanese car, which due to the public's perception, retains its value much better than a 206cc.

Besides, the 206cc is really an old car. Looks like crap too (for me at least). The swift looks like a mini wannabe, but at least it pwns the 206cc in terms of performance and handling.

Just like what others have advised, stick to your 9 month old Myvi for a good few years before you decide that it's time to change your car.

EDIT: What are the problems that are bugging your Myvi? Probably you can enquire the members in the Myvi thread. smile.gif

After considering your two options, I say still stick to your Myvi for now. Possibly and probably when you have fully graduated and can start to concentrate on your career, thats when you should consider changing cars. Although it gives you problems but a 9 month old Myvi is such a waste if you just sold it off just like that...

thanks for your correction,i've edited it

Yah,the new promotion offered by swift now really attractive~
yah...206cc value-retained. That's why i choose second hand car,where new car will bring a great lost.

Swift and 206cc look fine for me smile.gif

Just keep on using the current car for as long as you can while spending the least money on maintaining and repairing the problems... Later on, when the car really starts to cause lots of trouble, dump it and buy a non-national car...

You might lose more than RM7k, maybe you'll lose RM10k, but you'd have trashed the car and used it to its maximum potential before dumping it, and that means you've gotten the most value for your money!

People, the reasons she want to change her car is none of your business. If you have problem with that, then go to your emo corner and cry your heart out.

As for the thread starter, the myvi has a lot of problems it seems. But bear in mind that even with a new swift (especially a CKD one), you might just get the same lemon car as you did with myvi, although the chances are lower.

But seriously I'd say take the Swift. If not mistaken the 206cc is due to be replaced anytime this year, and the swift will be staying for a long time to come.

i would say dump the myvi as soon as possible if you don't like it. The way the market is now, the longer you hang on to it, the higher the likelihood of you loosing even more. There is still a high demand for the myvi, so getting a reasonable price for it isn't quite hard.

The Swift would be the obvious choice because it is new. While Peugeot makes good cars, there is always the risk involved in buying a second hand car, and spare parts for a continental car like the Peugeot is not cheap, nor easy to find. I for one would recommend peace of mind anytime over loosing a few thousand ringgit. Once your one year warranty on the Myvi runs out, you'll be forking out even more to get the faults repaired.

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 sweat.gif 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.. thumbup.gif

yeah bro,this is what i looking for.....

i don't really know about peugeot's maintenance and spare part price...whether is easy to be found or not.

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.

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? wink.gif

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)

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... smile.gif
i more thing: the sound proof is on the good side... very quite inside even on a busy road... smile.gif

As the topic stated,i'm thinking should i change or not?
I'm still a student,own a myvi with 9 months old.
I am working at the same time which i afford my car by my own

I would like to get some opinion from forumers here which car should i go for
pros and cons listed out will be appreciated!

my budget is around 70-80k
Where i understand in between this budget, there are a varios types of cars out there available.....

but for some reasons....i'm considering these 2 models at this point.

Need opinions.....Thank you

*I'm a 20 years old girl. honest opinion wanted....no teasing no shooting

thanks

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. smile.gif

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.

well,not to say i'm complaining. it justi sick of the problems that occur on my car
I hate to waste time to complain to sc that my cars problem....really wasting a lot of time...yet...problems aren't solved till now!

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

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.

i would say dump the myvi as soon as possible if you don't like it. The way the market is now, the longer you hang on to it, the higher the likelihood of you loosing even more. There is still a high demand for the myvi, so getting a reasonable price for it isn't quite hard.

The Swift would be the obvious choice because it is new. While Peugeot makes good cars, there is always the risk involved in buying a second hand car, and spare parts for a continental car like the Peugeot is not cheap, nor easy to find. I for one would recommend peace of mind anytime over loosing a few thousand ringgit. Once your one year warranty on the Myvi runs out, you'll be forking out even more to get the faults repaired.

206CCs are kinda famous for their leaky roof tongue.gif

so, my vote goes to the swift

I'd go for the Swift. smile.gif
I've seen it, been in it, never drove it, but it was nice. biggrin.gif
There is a suggestion though, why not you let a mechanic fix it(not Perodua SC). Finding a good one isn't going to be easy though. But at least you won't lose almost 10k when buying a new car. Just a suggestion, if you wanna buy 1 of the 2 cars, go ahead. smile.gif

myvi is a good car... sparepart easy to get... cheap.. and so on...

edit: local made tend to give u headache...sighh

suzuki and 206cc???

the 206cc
cabriolet coupe.. hhmmm do u need the sun to tanned u more?? and ruin the beautiful face u have?...yes u can have the "glam" feeling with a topdown car... but.. this is malaysia.. either it is HOT.. or it RAINS...

suzuki??
hhmmm a good car i assume.. but... think about maintainence... and resell value... yup swift is damn nice car... handling good.. power good.. and have the urban chick feeling (if u r a girl driving it).... but please look in the weekly motortrader to assume the resale value...u dont see much of suzuki product/car models here in malaysia...

edit more: heheheh i just realize u r a girl... no wonder many attention.. tongue.gif j/k

anyway, back 2 question at hand.. id say given the 2 choices, go 4 the swift.. its better in every single aspect.. the only thing i could find good bout the peugeot is that it has a folding hard top.. that too isnt quite an advantage, as someone had pointed b4, this is malaysia.. not the french riviera..

err.....IMHO....both cars are considered "cool doors" car....meaning resell value is low.

I dun see much of these on the road meaning difficult to get parts from chop shop.

getting new parts might cost you a lot compared to myvi now.

but if you force me to choose.....i'd go with swift....looks nice

Thanks for forumers who giving me opinions!!!!!
I really take all of your opinions in consideration~

and now,206cc is definitely out...as the concern of sparepart ,maintenance ,and the most important,Leakage from the roof? ha ha......that's the most concern~

Actually i put up 206cc as my bf likes it......

and i just like its cool outlook~

Personally I like swift~
i went to showroom and test drive~ It gives me a really good intention to get it~

However,loaning part,it gives me difficulties.~
Low possibility will get through as i still loaning for my current myvi~

SA said it is hard to get this swift loan approve~

Since I can't really provide all those necessary documentations



For myvi~
my problem is water leakage~ at the driver seats....I've claimed for a new carpet,but problem is the sign of leakage still exist~ and my car becomes smelly~

Setting 2 ambipur in my car...still that disgusting smell ....urggg


Second....inspected disc brake has problem....been ordered for 3 months arleady,still not arrived yet~

Braking system~ somehow when i am driving it...i will always wonder,is that my driving skills problem or else? it just difficult for me to brake...which i have to brake from a very far distance...or else, i need to brake emergency~
Until,others been driving my car,tested with their myvi....it seems that mine is working abnormal~

When chaging gear R - D and vice versa....it has duno what sound!!!
that hasn't been inspected yet!!!

Gosh,how many days i need to spend in SC????

I just sick of bring it to SC
then i will have no car to use!


Last time i claimed for my carpet...it spent up 4 days doing it!
End up,i didn't have car to drive~

So now you guys understand my situation uh~?

The best, as I mention before is to join a car club (preferably the car that you want to buy) and get to know the car from these people first. That's how you do research, talk to people who owns the car not those who doesn't. Personally, I feel that a lot of people here have a lot to say about cars but all they've driven is a Proton or a Perodua. They practically know nuts about a Suzuki or a Peugeot and 'stories' and 'myths' circulate among these people to others who plan to buy a car.

Also, unless you're earning 3K above with epf, etc. I sincerely doubt any bank will offer you a loan for the Suzuki Swift... unless you buy it under your parents name or someone else. As far as I know, the 0% interest for the 1st 2 years is absorb by Lion's Group or something.

hi trojan, i really suggest you try another SC
if one SC can't get the job done, there's no point trying over and over again.
for water leak, changing the carpet won't fix it problem, i believe there is a plug somewhere at the firewall, see if it has drop off.
as for the brakes, does your myvi comes with ABS. check the pedal free play and fluid level

for the water leaking problem, go to any workshop and then can fix for u. apply some silicon, change rubber.. it won't cost u much. unless there is a hole in the car.

problem with the brake and gear, let other mechanics check it. ask them how much it cost to fix them. if it's ridiculously expensive, then take back to SC.

and as suggest, another SC would be better since the 1 u been visiting can't fix any of your problem.

If you are from some rich family, yeah.. getting a brand new car would solve all the hassle and swift would be the best option (from ur list). I would get a Mazda 3 if i were you nod.gif

HOWEVER, if you are someone like me which would be depending on ur monthly wages to pay for petrol / instalment, I would suggest u to think twice before commiting to a new car. An average fresh graduate would find it difficult to service loan / petrol for a kancil (from my own experience). I am into my 5th year of working life, I find Swift beyond reach and I suppose that applies to many others. Kancil, Myvi.. Swift, Vios.. they are made for the same purpose... only cars smile.gif

a 9 month old myvi shouldn't have this problem...the hole on the undercarriage near the pedal due to stamping error existed since first batch myvi since 2005... just send ur car to SC to rectigy it.no point buying new car if the car still can run fine...

btw, back 2 topic at hand.. TS, i think agree wit some of us here in saying that its a waste 2 get a new car.. juz go find another SC or find a reliable outside mechanic.. surely ur dad or bf or relatives have a regular workshop that they go to..

btw hypermount, good post!! i always like reading ur posts thumbup.gif

Yea, I know nuts about cars or the Swift.

I know for a fact about the problems I posted about the Swift because I was planning on buying a car. How do I know? Because I browse auto clubs forums for info by reading Peugeot, Citroen, Alfa Romeo, Nissan and Suzuki Club Forums for sometime as part of research. Thats what I got out from owners of these cars. I personally drive a Suzuki Grand Vitara. What about you?

Why do you see people bashing local cars so much? Perhaps, you shouldn't limit yourself to one or two source of information. Perhaps, local cars really do suck. Who knows... rolleyes.gif

haha agree on the topic above, whatever happened to vvip guest, lol my say is , always go for the car u want and u like, no point listening to ur bf or whatsoever, its ur car, u pay for it, u drive it. whats good if ur bf wants u to buy a bomb and make u finance to the maintenance, totally not cool. my only say as an alternative to the 206cc is the toyota mr-s, that should do

i only comment the car which i driven b4 and and i will comment it deeper if 1 of my family own the car..... thats y i normally here will comment on vios, gen2 and waja... later will be some japanese car might be a accord or a camry... and i will comment on the problem which i look at my own eyes.. i dun comment or bash blindly... and about swift and peoguet... both are good car but cannot say great car coz there are cars better den those 2 as well...i dun really believe in car's club forum since i'm didn't see it on my eyes.... so i just read and remind me with whats the common problem if i wanted to buy that cars... but not until believe every car got the same problem like most of the forumer here thinks all gen2 have the same problem.... i guess u shouldn't limit urself to think all the proton car has the same issue too beside the material is lower den others.. this we all know is a fact....and ofcoz i driving a gen2 and i'm happy with it... going strong 2 years without power windows problem, door handle problem and etc etc (touchwood).... fyi mine is 2004 model which u can hear alot ppl say 2005 batch above has the less problem.... if u think my word offended u den i'm sorry just to say out the facts that i believe in a more fair mind.....

p/s: to TS.. sorry for all the OT tongue.gif sorry yah

Glad we can help.

But i believe since ur myvi is on loan better get another SC to fix ur car, rather than thinking to change to another car. You can get our help with the LYN's myvi owners thread in this section.
