if u wanna go for space, the cheapest and smallest mpv is the suzuki one or toyota wish, but u gotta top up more cash i suppose, but toyota vios is 1 good car to consider to change to for the budget.

whatever it is never choose the Suzuki APV...

and not everyone is willing to go with 2nd hand cars... main reasons include not knowing for sure what the previous owner did or did not do to the car, as well as the general bad impression of 2nd hand car dealers coz of some bad eggs..
from ur posts in general.. can tell u r rather stubborn.. when u think of something u super stick with it.. u got a 1 track mind.. and u assume a fair bit.. im not saying all of these r bad.. but it is how u apply them ba..
i have no intention of going to war with u over this tho.. im just saying that.. u do not noe a lot of stuff.. ur not all proud and high up tho... just that ur not exactly prudent with ur views as well.. -

1) Toyota Aitis
2) Mitsubishi Lancer
3) Honda Airwave
4) Mazda 3
All brothers and sisters here please share your view for the above model. -
of those in the list AFAIK.. the lancer M is the cheapest.. and the Mz3 A is the most ex.. too tired to list out everything so gonna be just lazy ..Originally posted by xmark:Let's list out some choice within the range.

Lancer...a bit long in the tooth liao.. but its cheap and its made in sushi land..
Altis.. everywhere oso altis.. no need to say much liao... a bit of an uncle car rept..
Airwave.. pretty new.. sushiland made too i think.. not sure.. and i think it is more of less an estate version of the jazz/fit.. consider this if u need the space ba..
Mz3.. getting pretty common too.. looks subjectively the best.. with a little 'zhng my car' can look pretty good... engine is a lil underpowered and the body a bit overweight... FC will not be heavenly..
if u thinking of FC like the G9.. maybe.. just maybe the Airwave can give u that.. but i would think its a stretch.. -
what abt Mazda 2?nice hatchback
-
judging by his current car.. and the cars he is looking at.. i do not think he is considering hatchbacksOriginally posted by ceecookie:what abt Mazda 2?nice hatchback -
yes,nt all r trusted of sec hand car dealerOriginally posted by nOrmalbOi:then lets flip the coin and see.. he didnt mention he was in a hurry.. he sure as hell didnt mention he was willing to wait infinitely either!

man,of course u gotta inspect the car ma...-_-
im nt offensive towards u,juz listing soem ways so that he can get and odesye if he wans -
eh get the new f/l altis.. right smack in the middle of ur budget at 55000.... dunno why but this car juz comes naturally to mind when i saw ur budget...
but u might say.. wtf??? same car again... but hey interior wise can add wooden grain mah plus leather if ur G9 dun have.. then got the buttons on the steering wheel mah.. sound proofing frm bonnet better than G9.. then aircon is press button 1 with climate control not those turn knobs as in G9...
exterior wise... altis car body longer than G9 by 14cm... wheelbase same.... at the back got LED in front headlamps more fierce... okie la more sharp..
technical wise same thing.. ...everything the same... except tt assemble in thailand... but trans and engine comes frm japan u can be assured of tt... -

1. Altis
Heard FC so so only. Built quality not so good.
Don't think you want to change from a jap g9 to a thai altis. But out of your 4 options, think altis should be the best.
2. Lancer
Heard auto gear box got problem. Upslope not much power. Engine out-dated and roar like lion after reaching 3k rpm. But it's the cheapest among your 4 options.
3. Airwave
Heard engine underpower, using 1.5L engine to move its long body. Can only get from PI. Parts can be a problem and costly to repair.
4. M3
Heard body is heavy but built quality is good. FC no good. A bit overpriced for a 1.6L though jap made. -
i tink u should write in full...after people wonder why ur talking abt the BMW M3 that cost 5 times xmark's budgetOriginally posted by mr sunray:Below are the views/comments i gather from other forum (they may or may not be true):

2003 corolla not bad car, can fetch quite alot when trade in cos the car OMV falls under old parf system. But now COE so low, getting new car is quite a risk i think. With the COE now, i can roughly estimate how much your car worth after u bought it... Anyway Cheers~Originally posted by xmark:I'm currently own a 2003 toyota g9 corolla, looking a range of 50k- 60k new car . Any brother can share and advice which car is the best . -
stright forward way, go for altis, same class but quality and FC not so good.Originally posted by xmark:I'm currently own a 2003 toyota g9 corolla, looking a range of 50k- 60k new car . Any brother can share and advice which car is the best .
otherwise downgrade to honda city or nissan latio, quality good and good FC -
since he currently driving a Japan made car, i suggest you to change to a Japan made car, as if you want to scrap it, the dealer will not scrap it and instead, send it oversea, cause is japan made. i suggest you go for japan made car, dont really need to pump in much cash.

Look like Lancer, Airwave and Mazda is not the good choice, I'm still open to others brand of sedan car.Brothers please keep posting

anyone saw the RR in sgcarmart?maybe he can buy that 1..becos only 48k..well thats better then a new car..but the road tax of that car is gonna kill him
