Did you just recommended a 180-190k car when TS max 130k budget? Maybach S-Class will also do the job just fine.

Used Subaru XV 2015 - RM 48k - RM 55k
Used Subaru Forrester 2016 - RM 68k
Used Camry 2.4 2011 - RM 48k
Used Camry 2.5 Non-Hybrid 2014 - RM 67k - RM 72k

131k mix and match can get 2 cars, even below 100k can get 2 cars, the rest of the money save for maintenance.

XV can do B road but not really off road la. Either way, your maths for 2 used cars is impressively out of the box. If the option for used cars is on the table it is a randomly open variable question with infinite outcomes.

Surely you know eventually both or any used car you quote above will reach end of economically serviceable life much sooner than a new car, what will TS do then?

i'm looking to buy a new car, i shortlisted these few cars

Altis 1.8, Subaru XV, Proton x70, Mazda CX-5, and Civic 2022. I've test drove most, except for CX-5(mid-spec, high spec way above my budget already) and Civic 2022.

My requirements are fairly simple, I need space for family (not big, currently 3 adults, and maybe 1 kid in the future), daily work commuting of about 30km per trip, and some outstation traveling for holiday (this is before pandemic, so probably will resume this after pandemic is eased).

What I am looking at for this new car

1. reliability, this is why a pre-owned passat did not get shortlisted even though a pre-owned is somewhere 120k
2. good driving experience on highway, I'm currently driving a myvi 1.5 and i really hate the feeling on highway when traveling even at 130km/h, so my new car i'm expecting it to be firm and stable at those speed with good nvh, i've tested City and Vios and both doesn't satisfy me for this, this is why i am looking at Seg C, or even Seg D.
3. fuel consumption, i know i can't compare this with my current myvi, but i don't want a fuel guzzler at the end of the day that creates a hole in my pocket.
appreciate any comments and suggestions.

New Year new car. So happy for you man. You want good highway experience then get a sedan.
From your shortlist, go with the Civic.
