go for facelift model, much quieter nvh

good buy but second hand value is not good for this car, thus you are getting it at only 70k

I owned a 2013 mazda 6 skyactiv. One of the best purchase decision made. Let go at 100k mileage for upgrade after 5 years. The car still rocks like new but yea the RV is not good especially those early days specs with lesser gadgets. rv is by demand and hence market price (willingness of people in mass market to pay). I hope to see this improved in years time.

But RV was never my motivation in purchasing car. For me just buy what you want and by the time for me to change, with good financial habit anyone can get to what they want instead of betting on RV to cover their next purchase. But of course that is just me and my opinion only.

Parts, yes it can be expensive, start stop engine battery is around RM450 and major maintenance following schedule is rm1xxx (below 1500 figure). But considering i almost never had any issue with the car, with proper maintenance schedule your machine shud be alright

The expensive roadtax is another reason for the low re-sale value for large CC cars

Yes correct

never buy from used car unless they dont charge you processing fees. only a couple of used car dealers dont charge, mostly these dealers are not located at those LOT USED car space.

just walk away if they tell u rm3000 proc fees, lol.
