need car recomendations under 90k

[silentser]

currently looking for a car 2nd or new under 90k

my heart currently goes to civic 2.0 2010, but my sister beat me to it and bought a 2014 civic, not shiok got 2 same model in family,

so got any recommendation of other car that is better/par with civic in term of performance and reliability

looking at e90 320i but after lot of reading kinda BMW kinda become a no with lots of problem and high expenses to solve the problem

my fiance recommend on altis 1.8, but not too fond on design, dont know the performance?

so what im looking for basicly:

-better or on par with civic in performance
-dont need deep pocket to use for daily car ( FC and maintainance)
-shift mode (triptronik, paddle shift etc etc) optional but my tangan really gatal to have this option
-no proton or perodua IF can but if you think it is more worth it, can recommend too

thank you for your time

How about Inspira...

How about lancer 2.0gt? The mitsubishi body look more appealing from the front than inspira.
Is mivec get same fc as ivtec?

Got a few lancer 2.4 under the price range. Is it worth it?

New car or used Lancer GT? Don't forget, Lancer GT uses 18 inch rims while Inspira uses 16 inch. Tyres are going to be more expensive for Lancer GT... If I am not mistaken, there is a CVT overheating problem for Lancer GT. The same problem is rectified in Inspira. If you don't mind driving manual, you can go for Inspira 1.8 manual for 79k...

Inspira CVT has added ATF cooler... For manual one, no cooler.

I think an ATF cooler is not too expensive. Won't exceed 1k...

You're welcome... Not sure of other recommendations... I'm thinking maybe 4 door Skyline Sedan V35? Like this one.... But V6 engines are not too cheap to maintain...

wow 2.5 cc maybe a bit out of my league for the roadtax.

Does mazda worth it?

I think Mazda cars should be alright. Mostly I've heard people praise Mazda about their handling and sportiness. It's a CBU car as well. The only bad thing is probably the resale value is lower than common Japanese brands like Toyota, Honda, Nissan....

But it's worth every penny:
2.5ltr V6 GDI engine, 215ps/260nm, RWD, 6 speed tiptronik, 11-12km/ltr avg fuel consumption using RON95, very reliable, quite many options to mod.

How about Mitsubishi EVO ?

I was going to suggest Evo VII AT but he wants good fuel consumption.

Well, if you can consider Evo, then may I suggest another alternative which is rather similar to Evo? Not the Impreza WRX STI because older models only comes with manual and the newer CVT models are out of your budget.

What I'm suggesting is Subaru Legacy. Like this one here. http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/cars-for-sale/414250-wts-subaru-legacy-b4-gt-2-0-a.html

The car is big enough, comes with automatic transmission, powerful (although not as agile as WRX STI or Evo) and has better ride quality than Evo and WRX STI...

A 2010 Honda Accord 3.5 V6 or at least a 2.4. The 2.4 is a pleasure to drive, but the 3.5 V6 is a dream.
