Hello,

I am looking to buy my first car.

I will need a hatchback. Don't need the spaces that sedan can provide. And I think I can drive it for 10yrs+.

I'm quite interested in Toyota Yaris. Like the appearance and it's Toyota.
But it's quite pricey. E spec at around 75K.

Then there is myvi. Cheap but I sit in many myvi before. Feels cheap, audio no good, etc.

Hmmm... Please advise me smile.gif

The yaris is definitely the best balance overall car

My hatchback preference below 100k

Yaris - Jazz - Mazda 2 - Picanto GT - Iriz - Myvi - Axia

If can afford just go for yaris

Yaris I think would be ideal.
Looks good, handles very very well and being a Toyota, it can easily last 10years+++.

You need to let the sifus here know more about your driving profile, preference & budget and any other relevant information to get the most reliable recommendation.

10 years is a long time, do you foresee yourself getting married and having kids? Many things can happen in 10 years and a tiny hatchback like iriz or myvi may not suit you anymore.

Get a Myvi, take a shorter loan so when you'll need to upgrade (kids etc), you have the option.

Yes I am sure I won't need a sedan and the boot.

Ermmm...my monthly commitment for a car needs to be around Rm600.
I have a house loan and living expenses.
It's just a matter of extending the loan to 9yrs.
Is it worth it for a Toyota?
Please advise.

In myvi I can pay the loan 7 years.
If Yaris 9 years.

Monthly payment to a car would be RM600 after paying DP.

Is 9years loan for a car dumb?

the quicker you pay your loan the better. Just so you know in other countries from australia to US, even EU, car loans are usually 3-5 cars unless you splurge on luxury. For what we pay for 10 years here for honda/toyota, they pay 3 years.

Just thought you might want to know economic performance. So pick one thats best for your use. The axia is great if always driving in the city and dont need space. That small engine wont use much fuel as you spend most of the time stopped or continousesly accelerating/decelerating, but the honda jazz hybrid is king here though that costs much more but for pure city driving, the honda jazz hybrid pays itself in both fuel and maintenance. So gotta see other factors.

Surely Toyota is one of the most reliable brand to go for, if budget allows.
Myvi is also a reliable and dependable car.

My vote goes for Yaris. Is it good? Depends on which car u owned b4. If coming from Perodua, definitely an upgrade.

I dont get why people like to recommend sedan over hb. Not everyone needs a large boot space.

Some people just prefer a good hb to drive and its easier to drive and park in KV

When you buy something that's already cheap, you wouldn't look into resale value. After all, it won't be so much different from myvi.

Draw a straight line in a graph from X-axis (total owe bank) down to Y-axis (period finish loan).
If your car model depreciation curve is below this line, you cannot sell without topping up outstanding amount owed.
