if disregarding the price, it should be civic. family & friends will enjoy the space compared to swift. and it performs better than lancer. but it exceeds your 70k cap.

First you should decide if you need the backside (i.e. boot). if yes, only 2 selection left. Here civic definitely blow you budget and so the choice is obvious -> lancerOriginally posted by F[r]0sTy:i currently own a starlet n i tink its time 2 change.

If backside is not important, the next thing you should consider do you want the car to remain as the newest model for a while. In term of this, civic maybe the first one to be phased out and swift being the least likelihood (it is only launched recently).
If this is still not important, ask yourself what type of style (other factors are closely on par in term of resale value, power and FC) you prefer since each and everyone of us will have different taste for car and it is not possible for people to tell you... you have to buy the car you have passion in... -
Toyota Altis?
-
does the price of the civic exceed alot?
i mean if its like +/- ard 5k still acceptable, but more importantly i wanna consider the options below 70k 1st.
any other cars 2 recommend besides the 3 i listed? -

Then again, there's a good chance that most of the glitches on the older model (the Civic) would've been ironed out by now. They include the ride/handling, design and most importantly reliability issues.Originally posted by manualisbetter:If backside is not important, the next thing you should consider do you want the car to remain as the newest model for a while.

Frankly, between 60 - 70K alot of cars available... for one...VIos is one car that looks good, and Honda City is one car you either like or hate (i like thats why i buy), and I am quite interested to see whos buying the new Swift...i just saw a batch of new swifts arriving on the road...looks nice...

sorry a noob question here...
i was told that suzuki new swift is not out in the market? only in motorshow. ..not true? i like swift too..resembles mini cooper.
anyone know how much does it cost? tks.. -
the swift is on sale already, cost ard 61k-63k depending on the type of transmission u choose. i tink its very nice n its my top choice rite now. but i dun wanna jump rite into the decision yet. better to consider wads available 1st. any1 noe the prices 4 the vios? any comments on the peugoet 206, alfa 147 n VW golf?

Right now my package is $69,800. OMV is abt 18k
FC for the car is 17-18km/l based on feedbacks.
It look good (at least to me lah)
Honda cars, so what u think abt the performance.. -
i agree wif u tt the fit is no doubt a looker, 1 of the better looking compacts ard. but i tink its slightly ex 4 a car of this performance. anyway i'm not interested in the fit. thx 4 the offer though.

The continental car will not blow your budget with 5K and most likely in multiple of 10k especially for the Alfa and Golf. They are considered premium hatchback and with that price, you can already buy many different car models including some of the 2L ones...Originally posted by F[r]0sTy:the swift is on sale already, cost ard 61k-63k depending on the type of transmission u choose. i tink its very nice n its my top choice rite now. but i dun wanna jump rite into the decision yet. better to consider wads available 1st. any1 noe the prices 4 the vios? any comments on the peugoet 206, alfa 147 n VW golf?

If you don't mind a manual, try looking at the Suzuki Ignis Sports. Below 70k, low road tax, good consumption and imho, good looks
It's available for test drives in the showroom. -
ya, tts a gd choice. but i prefer a 5 door, ignis 3 door rite?

ignis shd hav 3 n 5 dr type...Originally posted by F[r]0sTy:ya, tts a gd choice. but i prefer a 5 door, ignis 3 door rite?

base on the 3 choices,Civic shd stands out....
cos the new facelift is nice....u wan family look car or feirce look also can...
it has a gd fc...abt 12km/l....
performance shd also the best among the three....
and it shd cost u more cos it has all the 3 factors u want...

i think is quite worthy....
or maybe u can consider Vios....
some ppl think its nice but i dun really think so...
performance can be match wif civic....
FC shd be ard 12-13km/l....
price shd be cheaper than civic... -
i oso tink vios no fight wif civic but the performance of the vios, 4 a 1.5L is quite gd.

For vios, without a heavy foot and maintaining speed below 100, you can get 15 for the manual one... a VVT engine is still better for low FCOriginally posted by D16Z6:budget is impt...but forking out abit more for civic....

Is 12-13 km/L for the FC considered good? I think it is still high.Originally posted by D16Z6:budget is impt...but forking out abit more for civic....

I would just like to add a point that if FC is the major concern here, then I think the Toyota Vios stands out with its VVT-i engine. -
