SG sales figure hard to ascertain, because the figure includes both official as well as grey models (JDMs).

However, Honda was #1 in 2016 in Singpaore.

Toyota in MY starting price at around 70k, while Perodua starts from 25k.

Whereas in Indonesia, Toyota cover mainstream segment in all levels.

Cheaper than MY.

Vios 1.5 G in MY RM 89,800 while the same in Philippines cost PHP 902,000.

When I used Uber in Manila, mostly in my experience, Vios. If not, taller cars such as this.

Manila fuel is more expensive, plus wage is lower than KL.

Shopping mall food in Manila also more expensive.

You may look in this way too.

In 2016, 359,572 cars was sold in Philippines.

580,124 cars was sold in MY.

But then, Philippine car loan maximum is 5 years, while in Malaysia, the maximum is 9 years.

Philippine 5 years, Malaysia 9 years, Indonesia 6 years.

Car loan requirement is different in other countries.

In Philippines, pay 20% downpayment, maximum 5 years.

It can be assumed those who can afford cars in PH is often richer than in MY.

This is because Philippine car loan often requires 20% downpayment with a maximum period of 5 years.

You mean in Philippines?
