wait for actual owners review dulu. and have to wait for the owners to get over their honeymoon period also, so thats gonna be quite a while.

cuz when it comes to proton, fuel consumption is a toss-up.

but fuel-saving is relative. maybe 10km/l is good when you come from a 6km/l car, but it's still bad to everything else.

on paper the mc3 is good but everything is good on paper. and most current online videos are sponsored journalists, of course they're gonna say it's good, they're not the owners.

if you don't need a boot myvi fits in the budget as well. confirm fuel saving. but for me, i need a big boot so hatchbacks are not my first choice.

bezza is an elongated axia, it drives like if you take a small piece of dough and stretch it to be bigger and expect it to be as firm. it doesn't. it drives good in-city, if you highway a lot, it will be tiring. if you drive in-city exclusively, bezza is great. huge utility points. it gets the job done well enough, but wont wow you with anything other than fuel consumption and boot size. the rear seats arent great but you're the driver anyways lol.

outside of p1 and p2, really not much option for new cars under 50k.

used cars on the other hand, a lot of choices but will require some knowledge on cars and quite a bit of luck. best if you know the car and the owner directly.

i think a lot of people will recommend you to wait for the actual reviews from owners before pulling the trigger, and that's my recommendation as well. while you're waiting, word on the grapevine is that bezza will be having facelift as well, but likely sometime in 2026. let's see if the facelift will require monthly payments or not lmao.

Fuel already cheap, what is the concern about fuel consumption, right?

Simple P1 power > P2 power. You just need to test a car going up hill. You will know that car is useless if slow up the hill. Learn from atuk Khong. Why everytime he test Genting. LoL.
