What car to buy?

Toyota Unser
This would be an ideal choice as i can stuff in many people into my car and use it to serve others.
But there's always the 'mau gaya' mentality which Toyota Unser doesn't fit into the picture.
Big dilemma over here.




Nissan Sentra
The reason for this choise is because Nissan market value cars tend to drop more than Toyota and Honda. I don't really fancy this but who knows i might have to get this due to my financial constraints.


Honda City
Super cool car. Price a bit higher though.


Toyota Vios
Nice with the skirtings. Better body frame compared to Honda. Quite cool.

Cant afford to get a brand new one because planning to pay a huge downpayment so that i can reduce the interest. I am so desperate to get a car now.. which is not going to be so soon...Maybe by January or February.. I"ll wait. =(

I welcome suggestions..

I give you advice :-

1.)Toyota Unser

Pros: Like you said, it can fit in many people, and you stuffs things on top of the seats as well.

Cons: Despite the engine is 1.8, it still lacks of power. Though you can fit in lots of people, are you going to fit in people everyday inside your car? And yea, it lacks the look and has more to "uncle-ish" look.

2.)Nissan Sentra

Pro: It has decent looks, it has the modern, yet stylish look as well.

Cons: It's 1.6cc engine is underpowered as well. Owners complained bout it. It's might be costly to you.

3.)Honda City

Pro: Yes, it's a super cool car. It's personally one of my favorite car, because of it's looks and it's engine. The V-TEC engine, ables you to better power to your car. Just think it as a "boost" for your enginelah, hor. The IDSI engine on the other hand, allows you to have better fuel consumption, bout 600+ km, for full tank, which is a super fuel saving car.

Cons: The City uses CVT gearbox, so therefore, it needs to be maintain on time. So, maintenance can cause you bomb. You can get the IDSI for only, RM56k++. (No more new one, because the City has a new model).

4.)Toyota Vios
Pros: Quite a chic and stylish car. Parts to modify also easy to obtain. The 1.5cc engine, will give you good fuel consumption, and some "Oomphh". If you put on GT wing, this car can fly.

Cons: This model, is not longer available anymore. So if you still want to get this model, then you have to get the secondhand one.

Actually your choice of car is quite goodlah, as in, you didnt actually went for lower ends, like Proton and Perodua, but you went slightly lower middle level. But thinklah, how many people actually you going to fetch. Sometimes, you have the thinking of having big car, can fetch many people. But if you going to use your car to fetch many people like in 1 month twice, then it's such a wastelah. Then think if you want a sedan, or SUV type of car. Some Sedans offers better FC than SUVs. If you're the type who travels a lot, then you might need a comfortable car to travel. Whatbout the cc? For me, i think 1.5 should be ok already. The City and Vios is the choice. If you want sometimes classy and stylish, then go for the Sentra or Citylah.

Overall, i think the City will winlah if compare to all (that's my personal opinionlah, others might think it different way). Got any question then asklah, i try to help you.

P.S. Estigma also good choice, if you have the moneylah, hahaha.

Thanks for ur insights bro. Yah, i like City too. Haha. Jus asked opinion from my cousin. He suggest me to get a Honda Vtec because according to him Honda IDSI have some problem with the gearbox. Toyota Vios also have the same problem. So now, the only choice left would be Honda City Vtec and Nissan Sentra. He's using a Sentra though because he prefer a bigger car. Now, is jus a matter of whether will i be able to get that amount of money to pay in 1 whole lum sum so that i wouldn't need to pay for the interest, which is 5.8%. Anyway... Cun Camp2 is jus around the corner, later only think about the car. Haha.
