So my wife stopped driving 10 years ago and just started to drive back. Still not fluent. Which car for city use? Only work and school. Nothing big since I already have a 7 seater SUV. I was thinking of proton iriz.

Those small EV like Ora or Dongfeng Box if you have the budget for it and a home charger to go with it.

EV actually made lots of sense for women whom don’t usually take care of car’s servicing. Only thing needed to take care is tyres’ wear and alignment.

Yes...until the used car prices makes no sense for 2-3 year old Myvi. High RV = good for sellers, bad for buyers. Especially if I keep this for about 10 years or so. Even then, the mileage will not be high since town car max distance daily is 30KM (from morning to night).

If plan to keep long time Axia is still the safe bet, Iriz campro engine and parts going to obsolute and replace by Geely new model.
Axia parts still can get Japanese Daihatsu/Toyota half-cut for similar engine/gearbox major parts.

reliable. from bought used at 11k km to now 45k km, only need normal EO change, CVT oil change and fresh new rubber. For CVT, I went to shop that can do CVT adaptation using device one.
