Car is suitable. In fact the banglas / my friend will silently thank you for a better car than Myvi, lol.

Just make sure the car is in tip top condition as you are gonna travel 200-300km a day (depends) on a full time.
My advice is have the engine and battery (yes, battery, cause you don't want it to konk in the middle of the petrol station or somewhere far away) well inspected.

Make sure you also have the most powerful car charger (and good charging cable) inside your car too.

I think 2009 car should be acceptable by Grab.

Erm..wait.. Are you signing up for Uber or Grab?
Cause uber is less fussy about older cars. In fact if you sign up online for Uber, they just need your driving licence, jpj geran, ic and insurance cover note. I havent heard about them requiring drivers to send car for inspection

Grab on the other hand, is abit more fussy about older cars. In fact they just wanna make sure your car is road worthy. Not a matter of engine oil havent changed  biggrin.gif

On the other hand, make sure the car itself has a thorough inspection by Honda. Engine oil...atf fluid..change..hehe.
If i were you i make sure my engine oil change to fully synthetic  biggrin.gif

Haha ok...well i not sure yet

I still looking through here 2 gain more insight...still 1 more month before leaving jobs and want 2 try on being own boss with roads as own office space

Some say grab better some say uber better...macam macam laugh.gif laugh.gif

Of course i do full service fully synthetic oil in honda centre haha and yes i did read somewhere saying uber need 2 inspect old car hmmm

Good tip. I have been surveying for a 2016/15 Alza and it's already RM15k to 20k lower than a brand new.

I was wondering about Ssangyong Stavic. Anyone can give input for this car can it's maintenance as well as cost of maintenance. It's damn cheap for a 2.7 MPV. The 2011 model is going for less than RM 40k.

Better look elsewhere

Old Korean junk not great

Break down rate much higher

Better off find Japs like alphard estima wish

These first generations can fetch 50k cheapest hahahaha
