if buy the spare tyre outside, then where can we put it? 

Hey guys, so I'm actively considering on upgrading my current daily workhorse which is '06 Honda City GD8 which has been serving close to 18 solid years now. I thought it might be right time for an upgrade and currently on the market for a sub 100k sedan, preferably a reliable daily drive as i cover 40km moderate speed round journey back and forth from my workplace. Snail paced jam along the way hence the current ride is far from comfortable for the peak hour drive.

I'm aware the current face-lifted Honda City offers the most all rounded package but this time around I was hoping to experience a different brand. Also would prefer the traditional Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) over the Lane Watch currently offered by Honda which is not really deal breaker but just a small preference.

That leaves out with Vios, S70 and the Almera turbo. Proton S70 offers the best bang for your buck but contemplating on the Batch 1 production unit, would ideally consider this when it's face-lifted and equipped with AACP. Almera seems like the most aesthetically handsome one of the lot but I've had some heard some colleagues & friends sharing their frustration with the after sales support for previous nissan models. Also RV could be on the downside for the almera.

Vios seems like the practical choice and the inclusion of auto brake hold would come in handy during peak hour klang valley traffic. Yea its based on DNGA and it's closer related to Ativa, myvi & axia compared to it's Toyota siblings but the way I see it, the shared parts would probably accommodate to better spare availability and reasonable pricing for the long term run. In a way I was planning to possibly keep it running as long as it could possibly could before scrapping.

Would vios make the ideal pick or should I just stick with Honda and get the face-lifted upgrade. Any form of suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you all. 

Dugong is still Godcar to me…

This is the fake pretender … only Dugong Vios is the Godcar

this is used vios, not the new model

summore from used car shop, probably kena tipu

Gods at HIS many incarnations?!

S70 is the most value for money.
Bigger and more comfort too.
Doesnt hear much negative or horror stories about the s70 too.

Proton improved after Geely bought them over eh?

Proton has always been good with their simpler A and B segment cars. For bigger cars their formula is always rebadge previously is mitsubishi and honda. Now geely, so far so good except the fuel consumption slightly higher.
I think its a good car for the price.

And if you use Bold Oil, the S70 will out race a 911.   

Ahahahaha. Wont la. Engine oil does not increase engine performance anyway. Most it helps to bring out the highest potential of the engine only.
So many ktards though i am bold salesman and aggressive replies . Makes me wonder if a few of them are actually engine oil salesman and just trying to kill off people like me affecting their rice bowl. Kinda fun also talking with them lol

Err… sorry if my earlier statement offended your religious sensitivities.

i'm driving a 2011 city now. and being an uncle now with 2 kids, overall i think honda comfort is less than desirable if compare to toyota?

my next car is likely going to be a 2nd hand altis or camry.
likely altis is good enough.

The 2nd hand of Altis 1.8 year 2019 should be around 95k. The car drive comfortable yet capable to take fast corner with linear body roll. With the TNGA and rear suspension setup in double wishbone, this is really a good car. Civic is definitely better in power but Altis is better in handing and riding experience.
