2017 Bezza owner here. If you can stretch your budget to RM49k, you might want to look at the top-spec 1.3 AV instead for all the creature comforts and the whose suite of ASA 2.0 safety assists. You may have heard some rumours of 'sampan' handling, which was actually partially rectified in the 2017 update and again in the 2020 facelift. It's still not fantastic by any means, but it's not that bad. Also you get a massive boot that's larger than even some B-segment cars, and it's pretty fuel efficient.

BUT if you want to save some money and still get a whole ton of value, look at the top-spec Proton Saga. I think it tops out at RM40k and is a much better drive than the Bezza. You won't have as much interior/boot space or safety features, but it's cheaper and drives better. Much better suited for long-distance driving (if that's your thing) than the Bezza.

TL;DR:

Bezza:
Pros:
- Gigantic boot
- Fuel efficient
- ASA 2.0 safety suite (top spec only)
Cons:
- Handling isn't great
- A bit pricey for a A-segment car

Saga
Pros:
- Much better to drive, especially long distance
- Cheaper
Cons:
- Smaller interior space/boot
- Less fuel efficient

Other cars to consider in the price range are the lower/mid-specced Myvi and the Proton Persona. Best to give them all a test drive and decide what you need.
