What's your budget?

Between these 2, I'd keep my existing car.

One is an obsolete model and BMWs that are entry level tend to be rubbish cars.
VW Passat, I'll pass on this one.

SUV - go for CX5

Sedan - Passat. way better than 318i. Way more powerful, more spacious, more premium (BMW is 2011 design). New BMW is coming out, 318i value will drop further.

If new, probably Mazda 6. But if it were my money, I'd buy used 328i F30.

Yeap new 3 series came but only 330i... diff segment. comparing to 318i 2011 design, passat is where the money well spent.

At RM330k for the new G20 330i is out of consideration. Will there be new 318i with G20 version?

Dwindling number of Passat you see on the road these days or any vw in that matter. If you really want a Passat, please get a good discount

Both are high maintenance cars but if I have to choose between the two I'll take the Passat 2.0. HL without hesitation. in terms of power, space, comfort and equipment list the Passat wins hands down.

Not sure why you want 318.? Basically you are driving a bmw logo round! No power and min specs! 3series min is the 328 la! Now think they just intro 330i and 320i for my mkt! 318 is usually the midlife cycle of the series only they will intro! C200 pre FL?

Was quoting something around rm200k~ish price for a conti. Currently driving a Jetta for almost 7yrs and quite satisfy with the built and quality with some minor tolarance on issue such as 2x mecha. Good after sales in Penang.

But people say the new Camry is now a different car than previous where it's now designed to be more fun to drive car instead of more comfort oriented like before. Not sure how true though. The 318 is not worth it anyway.

Lol was gonna say this too. 318i is the crap of all BMW

VW, it's crap from europe. Just that msian think it's premium luxury; no its not

I'd say wait abit more for new Volvo S60. The Drive-E T5/T6 can easily tapao both

If buying used, go for 320d instead - still, old 3 series
