Family premium sedan that <rm150k OTR (current promo price), to me is following but what more ?  Mazda 6 is there but smaller / less comfort and >rm150k

Accord 2.0 - More common / spare part & reliable. Tech. Durable ?

Passat 1.8 CL - Better comfort and suspension. TSI. Conti look but new B8 batch reliable ?

definitely passat. better engine, features, comfort, nvh, etc.
since Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia took over few years back, Malaysians started to enjoy the legendary vw reliability, performance and superb value.

U will be "Very Worry" after you get VW. Hope you don't regret. Whether is value or rv, VW is rubbish.
( I owned a VW, 3 years old, piston crack, mecha fail x2, clutch fail x 3, water pump x, central lock x1, 3 times breakdown engine light on n tow to SC. Rounds up to 3-4 months car need to ICU in SC for each calendar year ) Sold the card after 3.5 years, from purchase price of RM 135K, trade in RM 33k. My old honda city purchase at RM 85k, 11 years old, trade in RM 22k.

Do consider and do your own research before buying VW, but buying a Jap car, definitely save you a lot hassle.

I’ve owned the Passat for 4 years now. Totally opposite experience with u. Just send for normal service. Everything was boring, like clockwork.
But the ride, comfort and handling is much higher level compare to Japanese cars. Not even Mazda 6 comes close.
RV doesn’t bother me unlike most ppl bcos the full value of the car is realized every time when driving it.
As long as ur healthy, can make money. But can never recover the years of shabby driving and lower level of experience.

be sure to learn how to check/inspect used car properly. also, don't leave any open issues when negotiation with the salesman.
prepare some amt of money for repairs, and changing of all fluids.

Just because somebody else doesn't have the same experience as you doesn't mean he is a troll. Frankly I find your experience of a problem free Passat for 4 years very hard to believe but I'm not calling you a troll. You may just be extraordinarily lucky or a VW salesman.

Certainly VW won’t be top car company in the world if their cars are not world class.
Honda is nr 6 and makes great cars as well.

The max I went is around 170KM/h, no more than that smile.gif But if I'm cruising at 120KM/h and a MyVi coming from behind, I can't run away from it eventhough I've econ off. Need to make way haha.
