Dear all, I'm torn between getting

Ativa - 75K - New - 6xx per month (Long waiting time, 5-6 mth)
Ok turbo, powerful, A to B.

Myvi - 59K - New - 5xx per month (Long waiting time, 5-6mth)
save money, ok normal car... A to B

or

New Axia - estimate 45K (300++) + CRZ 50k (700++)
Axia for work/daily and CRZ for weekend ..

is it wise to do so? or just get Ativa/Myvi and get done with it?

With CRZ approaching 10 years, supply will get less and problem will occur.. so thinking to pair an Axia with it.

normal maint all are ok, don't gearbox rosak kind of repair, will be heavy a bit.

Ok, many Ativa OTR tho... just feel not worth to spend 75K for it...


Ya... but not happy need to wait 6 mths.

Possible also because Perodua car long waiting time..

Until I have kid then maybe consider 4 doors.

if CRZ is my only car, I hope it won't break down often.. hard to find car club to discuss nowadays, I think all disbanded.

Thanks bro, but only limited to these choices..


Myvi also similar with the advantages, and 15K cheaper? that's why kinda hard to swallow Ativa for me...

All options also planning to use min 5 years. If Axia, then will look for CRZ 😂 anyhow new cars need to wait 6 months.

P1... no la... no more P1 in my life.. sorry.. bitter experience.

Dear, thank you guys for so many valuable input... as post limitation I can't tag all and reply, I hope you all able to read this. lengthy post...

On what car selection...
Type of car - Looking for smaller size, easy to nimble in city, 95% city drive.

Maintenance, generally I'm ok with 4-5K p/a... not 10K-20K p/a ... most important is, can repair and drive..
If new car, just regular oil change I believe.

Used car, I have regular mechanic, but not sure if they do hybrid.

Insurance - all low sum insured car anyway (within 2K, 55ncb)

After all the input, I can't really persuade myself to go for 75K ativa. I have budget of 70-80K for new car.. about 15K DP, but don't want to lock myself la...

Rgd why CRZ,
+ Timeless design, still looks really good (to me), maybe that was during my 25s when they launched... turns my head till now, itch in my heart.
+ Power wise, 130s HP 170s torque, much better than other choices. Enough to do some random sprint on highway or empty road.
+ Not sure about handling, but should be on par or better than Perodua. (Previously driving Iriz, my wife with Myvi G3)
+ Maintenance shouldn't be 1K per month? I hope..
+ Immediate get car

- Need fork out money for maintenance
- higher monthly loan payment due to less loan years
- unknown breakdown possibility (of course I need to worry about this, if break down, I need to take grab)
- Smaller community to help with info now...


Myvi
+ A 5 seaters! no question mark from family or in laws, despite I can use my wife's Myvi if needed... but that's not my car..
+ Maintenance, definitely lower, 1,200 per year can settle.. excl tyres
+ D-CVT is not slow either, (surely enough to use for city and trip to east coast, once per year)
- No hassle.

- Just normal car to run A to B, maybe can mod with some bars.
- Boring a bit, use head to think, really better choice 😂
- Need to wait 6 months with langsi SA

Welcome more input discussion...

Hahaa.. yes.. can get new vios or city already... but no look la.. just A to B car, to me it's same as Myvi?

thanks for your value input, CVT lifespan is a concern as well

yes bro.. myvi is also a good car, I need the car 1-2 months next because no car for me to drive now.

Hahaha.. correct la... that's why thought to go safe road or dangerous road only..

honestly not really made up my mind, if SA call me up next week and tell me myvi is ready, I'd go for it and rest my life for next 5 years making money.

if still need to wait 6 months, in between I can't stop myself looking at alternatives.. (no car for me right now)
