Hi everyone,

I’m planning to replace my old Myvi 1.3 Gen 1 facelift (which I’ve handed over to my girlfriend as her daily driver for work and weekly trips between KL and Seremban).

Currently, I drive a CX-5 2022, so I’m not really looking for another SUV. I’m exploring a few options and would love to hear your thoughts, especially regarding safety, fuel efficiency, maintenance costs, and driving enjoyment (my gf will still use it however I’ll use it for township errands and occasional drives).

My budget is around 70k, and I’m considering used cars from 2015 to 2019. Here are the models I’m looking at:

D-Segment:
Honda Accord 2.4 – The Honda Sensing feature really caught my attention.
Mazda 6 – Known for its sleek design and driving dynamics.

C-Segment:
Honda Civic (1.8 / 1.5) – A popular choice with a good balance of performance and practicality.
Mazda 3 Hatchback – Stylish and fun to drive, especially in hatchback form.

Crossover:
CX-3 – Not my top choice, but the power delivery and non-CVT transmission are appealing.

A-Segment:
BMW 120i F20 – The only BBA (BMW, Benz, Audi) on my list, mainly because of the RWD setup. However, maintenance costs are a concern.

If you were in my shoes, which one would you go for? I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences with these models, especially regarding reliability, maintenance, and driving pleasure.

Looking forward to your suggestions!

The BMW 120i F20 certainly offers a pleasurable driving experience. As long as the car is serviced regularly and any faulty parts are replaced promptly then it will be a reliable car cool2.gif
