I do not think the 3008 comes with unlimited mileage warranty, it goes until 120k km only.
If you need a peace of mind with longer warranty then you may need to choose something else. That said in the end it is all about weighing your costs and risks. Everything has value on it:
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for car:
- initial purchase price deduct resale value (when you sell at x year)
- yearly maintenance (after FOC period)
- yearly petrol cost (influenced by FC)
- yearly repair cost (after warranty)
Looking at the TCO (your cost), then you need to justify what you get for the value you paid:
- how much distance the car managed to be driven during period of ownership
- the value you put into enjoying the handling
- the value you put onto the comfort/NVH
- the value you put into the interior
- the value you put into the badge/brand
- the value you put into it saving you from harm (whether avoided an accident - active safety, or after an accident - passive safety)
Depending on each user they have different preferences and priorities in the above. You find out your own preference, then you ask yourself whether the Value you are getting is worth the TCO you are expecting to pay.
Personally if you ask me, safety is the biggest factor to me. One time it saved me from death is enough to cover every single thing paid towards the car.
The question is, do you trust the car that you buy to save you? I won't trust a Myvi to save me when some drunk idiot decides to ram me from the side unannounced. So even if the TCO of the Myvi is dirt cheap, I won't feel comfortable driving in it, nor letting my loved ones drive in it. For those that value safety, the TCO paid is easily justified by the better chassis design, stronger crash bars, etc.
Considering you spend so long time in a car, I'd suggest you get something that is proven safe. I personally will stick with a Conti car, but if I HAVE TO choose a Jap made car, the best Jap made car will be the least Jap like, which is either Mazda CX5 or the Subaru XV, both of them known to have better materials used than the typical Toyota/Honda/Nissan and with good handling (but interior for 3008 far outclass the rest). Between the 3008, CX5 and XV, the 3008 has the longest warranty coverage at 5yr/120k vs CX5 & XV at 5yr/100k.
what i really concern is safety number 1, price number 2, driving experience number 3 i dont care about fuel, road tax, maintenance, resale value because this is company car.

150k cash? Or 150k with 90% loan?
It cash buy whatever the fuk u want. CX-5 seems to be leading here. I agree too. Exterior and interior looks awsum. Fun to drive. But not so if u have family.
If loan, get a Proton C70. Bang for buck.
i dont have family, cx5 diesel is also in my list , but price a bit on the high side
