Me too used to own this car and it is a reliable car. Economical wise well still acceptable at average 11-12km/l FC for the manual, but u might expect to spend a little more due to wear n tear n possible higher FC due to its age.

But regardless of what, this is one heck of a good car, even better if there a 4AGE 20v blacktop engine installed. tongue.gif

i would like to have one car for my university lilfe, which is a need as the course i am studying need me to go out to buy materials for projects and so on ... . my 2nd year when uni reopen next month .

well , at first i was eyeing on Satria Neo CPS , my dad already give green light for me to wait for the CPS version.  but when the fuel price increased to RM2.70 , i just have to change my mind . i used to drive waja during my form 5-form6 life and alor star driving range is about like what i am facing in Johor UTM . so i take the average RM50 i pump every week during my school days , which the price was RM1.6x-1.92 by that time , one month would cost me about RM200 . If i were to take a CPS , and the price would go up or stay at RM2.70 range . that would possibly mean the monthly fuel i will be using could go up to RM400 , which is absolutely insane as i still need to eat and drink .

i choose a 2 doors car as i dont want to fetch friends along or in other word i want my car to be a personal car not a taxi .however , when the fuel price increase , i changed my mind , well first is a 2 doors car cant fetch much people , and i am in university , fetching friends is definitely something which is unavoidable .

being a car in university , as fetching friends is unavoidable . for sure the fuel price to go outside will be shared within friends , so might as well take a 4 doors . In the other hand , if it would be a semi-taxi-student car , why bother taking a new car like proton saga as it would always be packed by friends .

NGV future , i like 2 doors car . but if i were to take satria neo, there is absolutely no place to place a NGV tank behind the car. If Neo has a coupe version i am sure it will sell well . i dont like fetching people . to me car is personal , same as a mobile phone which is something we just have to live with . it has to be a 1.6 car to me , i dont like 1.3.

Well why dont u consider the gen2 CPS? On regards of fuel price will always go up due to current world oil pricing, so there nothing much we can do. At least the gen2 cps is larger than the neo although ur rear passengers wont be happy on the gen2 due to its cramped place.

and btw the bolded part...i beg to differ.

i have driven both Vios(my bro car) and SEG. SEG was quite stable even when u cruising
at 160kmh...while Vios around 140 u can feel the 'sampan' sensation already biggrin.gif

I drove both cars and it will depend on the tyres. Of coz the wobbling feel will get worse if u stick with the stock 14 inch rims from Vios E n J models. Yet again, chassis wise, the Corolla SEG is much convincing to speed above 140 kmh.
