Don't think u can get the civic hybrid with that budget. Maybe the Honda insight. But with your options, I'd go for the inspira. I'd avoid buying 2nd hand cars if possible. Get a new one to avoid potential problems. :)

yeah inspira might be the best of the 3 cars u mentioned.. if u think getting a hybrid will lower your consumption, yes it will but do consider its running cost, might cost a bomb when the batteries need replacement..

budget within RM100k.
1) Honda civic hybrid - insight seem to be good choice. rm98k only
2) Proton Inspira - 2.0cvt paddle shift - rm92k only
3) 2nd hand Honda Accord 2008 - used...already after warranty.

u want power - inspira
u want fuel efficiency - insight...
my 2 cents

honda civic hybrid is rm130k, the 98k u mentioned is honda insight.

about the battery cost for the insight, i've asked and test driven the car. lifespan is about 7 years, and currently it cost 7k to replace, but honda malaysia is giving a 5 year waranty or 140000km whichever comes first, so i believe the battery isn't much of a worry... imo...

and i love the car, but ... $$$ dont support in my change..

You can no longer purchase Civic Hybrid. They stop selling them once Insight come around. I agree with arrowhead. The battery cost TODAY RM7k which you will have 5 year warranty on it. Hopefully in the future the price of the battery will be reduced significantly.

the new civic just launched not long ago in China and US. get the inspira 2.0, best bang for buck.

If notching the top qualifying spot was ripping up the form book, then leading from start to finish would be stomping and letting loose a burnout on top of those shredded pieces of figurative paper. The Weider Honda Racing team built on their unexpected pole position to take their, and Honda's, first win of the season in the GT500 class following a perfect drive from drivers Takashi Kogure and Loic Duval...
