Choices of cars to buy?

[Izso]

Mixed feelings mixed feelings.

I just recently tested a Volvo S60 T4. I think it's a T4. Anyway it belongs to a car nut friend so it's extremely well taken care of. Good power, good boot, good everything except cracked leather interior and high FC. Turbo and parts taken from a T5 which is plug and play so it's actually quite torquey and powerful. But FC is around 9km/L or worse.

Friend has offered to repaint the car and at RM30k it's very hard to resist. But since this will be a daily drive the FC is going to be a problem.

And yes... I'm talking about replacing my own car now. Wife has already decided on a *cringe* Alza.

Turbo cannot help lah! FC is like that. I am running like 7km/l only.

Huh! now wife wants Alza? So many MPVs in your family.....

I think your parents's innova is kinda influencing her to get a MPV. Better sell off the Innova
Alza brakes, is real bad. I seriously feel very insecure especially if it happens I had to emergency brake. I always keep quite a distance from the car in front. Dare not even tailgate with an Alza.

Mirage la, suits her best. Girls are hard to please at times...

Gotta agree on the braking part. Takutnya bila mau brake. Then again maybe I'm just spoiled by my twinpot brakes on my rolla hahaha.

Alza more suited for kurus - kurus people. Apparently when my large sized family sit in the Alza at the back, alamak tight space hahaha.

Most of the time parents use it as carrying larger stuffs that cannot fit in the car like those large pasu bunga.

My XL size family members also difficult to fit in the Alza. We test drive once and never went back....haha...

Ya, the Alza to me is more like a sedan with bigger boot space. The rear seats can sit but won't be comfortable. Actually the whole car seats sucks to max. Is not a car where you can sit for long journey.

Not much support for the backbone or lumbar support. Also the seats tends to absorb heat from my ass. Gets hot after awhile.

But seriously speaking why not give turbo diesel a try Izso. I've turbodiesel and they have very good FC. Just like what BH mentioned. Maintenance wise also not very expensive. Good torque also

I think sylphy is a good choice when u compare with all your requirements as it is a JDM u can get cheaper spare parts, Nissan is proven that its a very reliable car even if u don't pamper it. Safety is moderate not much not less .. u can even pick Inspira though because it requires all those requirements ..anyways gud luck on picking a car and make sure u pick the right one so you won't feel disappointed

I vote Mazda, Japan manufacturer partnered with Ford. Not sure about the Mazda 2 but company recently bought a CX-5 and the built, details and features were amazing!
