  I don't own a car but I have the luxury to drive my dad's bmw everyday, which I just crashed 4 days ago (minor accident) and the petrol burns my pocket. My dad is rich but I'm not. But thats not the point. I want my own car.

  My Criteria is this:-

  1. I don't like hatchback, I like sedan.
     
  2. I only like compact or subcompact class.
     
  3. Engine 1.5 or 1.6 only.
     
  4. Budget 55k
     

  I had the chance to drive some cars for 5000km that is in my criteria :-

  1. Lancer GLX
     
  2. Proton Waja
     
  3. Geely MK Sports
     
  4. Toyota Vios
     

  Personally, I won't comment on any car that I've not driven and I hope you can do the same. I'm only looking for pricing = driveability+fuel+features. Nothing more nothing less.

  These are my current standings. And personal opinions.

  1. MK (Maybe I had very low expectations of this car before I drove it)
     
  2. Waja (Pretty good, not as bad as I had imagined)
     
  3. Vios (Somehow I don't really like it)
     
  4. Lancer (Bad bad bad. This is out)
     

  Any others I should try that fits these similar class?

  Yes you're right. I am going to use the car mostly in malaysia. OPC would be best for me since now I hate driving to work due to the heavy traffic.

  I drove the beemer in malaysia, i get some kind of stares like they want to eat me or something. Besides that, I keep getting speed ticket even though I didn't speed. I have to keep bribing the officer.

  Proton is appealing to me because of the huge mods available in malaysia.
