Hi all, I'm wondering what is the best car(s) in terms of ride comfort (soft and plush ride and reasonable soundproofing) for under RM20K, while relatively cheap to maintain, reliable and fuel efficient? Don't care on the handling aspect, just pure comfort. (Asking for a friend)

Mercedes C200 W204, Toyota Camry ACV 40, Nissan Teana

Nissan almera
Renault Fluence

Immediately think of Camry

Camry ACV40 or accord 8th gen ( you should be able to find the perdana version below 30k). Will fit in your budget

The old Citroen with air sus is best comfort car

20k ( balance use to touch up)

20 yrs camry

Toyota Altis 1.8G

get the cleanest and newest camry you can. more likely it's the acv30 since the acv40 will be a bit out of budget for good units.

but wont be fuel saving, unless you long-distance drive a lot.

its very uncle, no cool points, but the interior is quite plush, very quiet.

drives quite well as well.

haven't been following w204 for awhile, dropped to under 20k dy?

If want to buy old Camry get the 1 highest spec. 2.4v since 2nd price also difference not much in market as that 1 come with better safety features like VSC or TRC at least. The 2.0G cheaper version really-really very kosong in safety spec. if not mistaken only ABS.

Forte 2010 cbu abt rm10k
Replace all under parts with ori

Camry acv30, acv40 🐼🔥

nissan sedans will do.
camry too popular. affraid taxi limo grab used

Old Camry 2.2 GX, 2.4 big potato Camry ACV30 or 2.4 ACV40 Camry damn comfortable.
Vios 1st gen 1.5G bulletproof yo
Corolla 1.6 SEG also bulletproof and can smoke all the Myvis too if you want.

20k can get you 2006-2008 Camry ACV40

but comfortable car below 20k will never be cheap to maintain because all 15 years above

define "ride comfort"

if blindfolded, 99% of ppl wont be able tell difference, thus use a metric that is quantifiable like segment of car, how much roadtax willint to pay, # of seats, etc

No need to look far. Camry!

Yes, agreed as me myself currently driving acv30, old car new feeling as very well maintained 😎🚘🔥

If it is a "newer" than any recommendations of Camry, can look at colder brand like Peugeot, Citroen and another is VW. Since TS want reasonable soundproofing car, skip any Honda Malaysia model

I do experienced with a friend of mine honda city hatch back, when he press the throttle i can hear the engine noise
😱🔥
