Hi all sifu in cars.. im currently thinking to change my car. Am thinking to get either bmw x1 or mercedes gla .. bt.. am not quite sure which is better?.

I wud need this to ferry my family as in my kids n parents.. budget wise, ive actually enquired brand new bmwx1 yr 2020 (with the tax holiday) is at rm203k.. i din check out mercedes yet bt i see online its about rm200k

Am also thinking to buy new or 2nd hand.. new will have guarantee for 5 yrs, if buy 2nd hand like if can find yr 2019 still can have guarantee for 4 yrs.. seems good deal aso??.

Am gonna go to auto bavaria tmrw to check out their 2nd hand range.. my dad friend jz purchased his 2nd hand 3 series was very satisfied..

On the other hand, if i were to go with japanese car like crv o cx5 not exactly my dream car bt i cud get it new and wud have more cash in hand (no need to pay so much installment)..

So whats d advice?.. im so confused myself also.  Am not in desperate neeeed to change bt my current car is serving me 8 yrs d.  Actually still good and can move frm 1 place to another lah. Bt u know.. its 8 yrs d..

Also i am very careful when driving which means i dun like to keep changing cars cuz the estimation on parking and all have to adjust .. so which one can last me long long long time.  Like my current japanese brand car can tahan so long..

X1, easier to maintain.

But GLA reliable.

I have to agree that X1 and GLA have smaller interior room..

Other conti there are Tiguan and Peg3008.. no idea about Peg3008, but Tiguan has more interior space than X1 and GLA

Don’t buy the old model GLA200, get new model, unless it’s GLA45, but don’t serve the family purpose.

And ya, Mercedes obviously more reliable than BMW, I own a F30.

Clear winner is X1, slightly larger interior, free maintenance and 5 years warranty.

My vote goes to X1. Been in the backrow of GLA200 and it's not comfortable.

GLA, A not a commute friendly vehicle.

Look for B Class

I have 2 B class w245 & w246. Also have A class W176. And family have GLC250.

Interior for GLA same like A class but GLA slight higher.

Get either B class or GLC.
