I am shopping for a new car in 2018. I am staying away from Conti as Mercedes and BMW prices are out of my budget. I am saving money to invest in properties. Other Conti cars like VW, Skoda & Audi, French and Italian, Ford are well known for issues. So my targets are Japanese, Korean and local. I am open to cars from China if the reputation is solid.
My budget should be around 130K.
My priorities.
1. Safety
2. Reliability
3. Cost of ownership
4. Comfort
5. Resale Value after 5 years
6. Durable
7. Performance
8. Design
Design is the lowest priority as car designs changed so fast when new models emerge.
What car would you get for the budget?
Malaysia vs Korea vs Japan vs China, Safe, Reliable, Comfort, RV, Durable
