Nice analogy with the girls. :)
Quite shocking about the 308 engine.

Kidding right? parts damn expensive, lack of part supply, and the service center.. lol..utter crap.. go see the Ford forums in Malaysia and see how many owners "tiaw" Ford Malaysia.
Same case for Peugeot. Can read about Peugeot case here
AHW308: The World Should Know...
a lot of times, buying car is a very pretty affair. or at least, packaged until very pretty. its like meeting a girl for the first time, she looks well dressed, well groomed, make up and all. looked like she can give you a ride of your life.
marry the girl bring home already then all the colours start to show, fart here and there, shake leg, dig nose, shit already don't flush etc. that time you really want to mati.
of course, girls are unique, so in that scenario we're screwed. but cars are mass manufactured, same make and model you can get a pretty good idea of what you will get if you spend time to do some of your own research.
Which is why Toyota & Honda is so popular in Malaysia. Because its a Japanese that many people have owned and ride on, the parts and service centers are abundant, resale value is good because of the former reasons. That being said I think the cars are a far cry from the recent Korean invasion.. yes the K5 is damn pretty, so is the Elantra.. with their plastic surgery
So..the Japanese cars look mundane and boring next to the plastic surgery improved Koreans... but you can be rest assured if you marry the Japanese, she will clean and cook and take care of you. Whereas for the Korean, very soon the plastic surgery will fall apart with age, and that time you will need to flush the toilet after the Korean takes a shit.
The Germans, well, they are good, no doubt about these autobahn cruisers. but they are high maintenance. If you can afford it why not..
Then comes this Honda Edix, a rare Japanese gem, unlike the mainstream Japanese in Malaysia, she is somewhat hard to maintain, some parts are common, while other parts are hard to come by in Malaysia. For example if her headlights were damaged its gonna be pretty hard to find a replacement. So, she's high maintenance as well.
Choices in life.. you can get anything you want, the question is, how much you want to pay in terms of both time and money?
Honestly, forget about the German and the Japanese Gem with your income. Best bang for the buck new car is Proton Inspira, and EON having offer now for 5 years warranty. Pretty funny Proton bashers go on and on about Proton quality suck la this la that la, and then when you go to the EON Service Center, you see Mitsubishi Evolution X getting serviced there next to Protons.
Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia is DRB-Hicom, and now so is Proton. Essentially buying a Proton Inspira is just a CKD Mitsubishi Lancer with some local parts. If you're anal about brands, go Toyota, Honda or Nissan.

best sedan no.4 compared to kompact car above ms.persona
life only once, why u must stick to the car that just for part and resale value? did u feel bored drive "such" car just because resale value. when ppl telling me, i should take city or vios because resale value and i ans back "this car(fiesta) pricing is ord low in beginning , no mark up like city&vios plus its giving me enjoy the driving. since zul ord asking between e90 and edix, i sure he is not want to finding some common car. if u saying part is expensive, try compare between city and fiesta..fiesta parts did not expensive when u compare to new genuine Honda Toyota part.
p/s; not try create flame or war. just my opinion. and vios & city is not pure japanese because u cant find that 2 cars in japan domestic market. if u saying u drive a japan car, vios...i say no...its a Thai car actually

test drive 1 by 1, i sure fiesta wont let u down. about the spare part issue, is mostly happen on focus mk1 and mk2. im admin of fiesta fans club and i noe complain about part is just a small part. before u saying part is expensive, survey first before listen to other.

uhuhuhuh
i want a car that not ''harm'' my financial for me 25years old guy with no so good/big salary
plsssssssssss
ps : dont ''gado--gado..." ok..heheh
If you don't want a car that harm your financial, then buy cheap economical cars and sorry to say, if you want new then only Myvi, Viva, or Saga FL are within your financial capability.
As for your kancil story and what you said earlier about wanting to have a car that you do not need to modify anymore, I say it's all down to how you control yourself! Any car, no matter how good they are but if the owner is always itchy to mod, then the car will get modded! Some modded to become even better, many actually become worse or bring more negative than positive but the owner thinks it's better!
All I can say is, just be wise, you're still so young and have many more good years ahead of you, don't rush/force yourself to buy things that you cannot afford! Unless your fiancee earns quite decent sum then you can join to have a better car together lah and pay the loan together as well! :D
go for alza or exora bold if u plan to have kids soon.
If you want to buy Alza, make sure you don't ever test drive or sit in Exora CFE.
