Help me for my first car

[goodboy]

i need some suggestion from you guys
1)Suzuki swift sport / suzuki swift
2)Honda civic es 2.0
3)Toyota vios
i'm not really pro about car.http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/images/smilies/gtnsmilies/stupid.gif
My budget is around 75k - 110k

 

[bera]

this is a very subjective...and it depends heavily on the individual preference...

based on your list...i would choose a vios because
1. a sedan car...practical if have to cart family member around...
2. good fuel consumption...
3. cc just nice. in return...road tax is not so expensive...

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Why not consider Ford Fiesta 1.6 Sports? Around RM82K.
Seems to be a good car and fun to drive...but well,
of course vios is a great car as well with good FC.

Seriously still depends on what u r looking for...
Good Fuel consumption? Comfort? Great Performance car
with more power? Family car? and etcs...

 

[goodboy]

I can consider that i'm still young.
-obviously i need a performance car.
-got a price in market.
-and yes fuel consumption

 

[mkdreamervl]

Goodboy : Performance car and Good fuel consumption rarely goes hand in hand :) And when you talk about market price in Malaysia.... the 3 Japanese ones obviously rule 1. Toyota 2.Honda 3. Nissan ( Not necessarily in that order )

With your budget of 110k there are many nice cars you can choose anywhere from Myvi(new) to evo7(used) or Honda accord ( Used ) like what Bera and Supra has already mentioned, it is going to depend what are you going to use the car mostly for.

1) Just drive to and fro to work and sometimes fetch gf or family members....
2) weekend warrior go racing saturday night or sunday ( this is illegal of course )
3) 2 door sporty look or 4 door practicality ?
Etc Etc Etc...

But if u were to talk about the only 3 cars u mentioned....
1.) Suzuki Swift - Sporty lor. .... Fc abit high when u rev.. compared to other same CC cars.
2. ) Honda Civic ES 2.0 kinda old model right ? RM118k and you can get the latest Civic 1.8...
3.) Vios - comfortable lor... suspension softer lor.... Good FC lor....

If you have time why dont u go shopping around... go test drive the cars you have in mind. Whichever one u fall in love with... thats the one i guess..

Good luck in getting your first car ! :)

 

[goodboy]

thanks mkdreamervl

honda fd is quite big and also expensive compare to the honda es.
based on year yup honda es is old model
i'm still 'bujang' so large space is unnecessary
if i'm not mistaken cc for vios even trd only 1.5 right?
can it carry the body

 

[mkdreamervl]

1500cc actually more than enough for Vios and Vios TRD for your daily drive lah. The TRD is just a vios with extra skirting... different rims... and different internal finishings. IMHO it is NOT worth paying extra for.

The new honda Civic FC is actually VERY good. nowadays 1800cc doesn't necessarily mean high FC. Honda Civic 1800cc averages 425++km for RM80 worth of fuel... which is very good.

Go test drive both cars bro :)

Words cannot describe how a car drives :)

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Yup, best to test drive those cars that you have in mind
or in your list to find out which car you prefer/love most.
Once decided, do some research on that car and get some
feedback from friends or here about the car you have chosen.

That way, is easier for you to decide on
which car to purchase. :top:

Now vios got promo. Any new vios now comes with
TRD sportivo suspension kit with promo price.

Have a look at this link: Vios - Features - Performance | Toyota Malaysia

Happy shopping bro

so u saying that the price and performance for vios is kinda worth to buy?
but i always look at the cc and fuel consumption.

2)Honda civic es 2.0 (2nd)
3)Toyota vios (new)
4)Volkswagen Golf GTi (2nd)
5)Honda Civic 1.8 (new)

Anyone can share all this info
-fuel consumption
-performance
-market value

 

[EvolutionZ]

goodboy: inspira is a rebadged mitsubishi lancer GT. using mivec engine. 2.0 cvt

 

[XlimShady]

My vote is for inspira also. Had a ride in my friend's inspira. Large space inside and good power. It's literally a lancer gt with proton badge. Worth buying I would say. Change some nice rims and maybe lower the ride with stiffer springs a little and it will look awsome. The best part : 30% cheaper than the real lancer.

 

[EvolutionZ]

if going for performance driving, change to a better tires with stiffer sidewall....now the setting is for comfort driving.

 

[goodboy]

i went to VW showroom just now
now im hooked by volkswagen golf sti 1.4l
dream about golf gti mk6 but cant afford it.
buy new golf sti 1.4 or 2nd hand golf gti mk5.
a little bit confuse:hmmmm:

 

[EvolutionZ]

buy what u felt good when driving it

 

[goodboy]

sometime we might think that car is the best.
but is it really that good.
thats why i open this thread to know more about some cars.

 

[Kevin Lee]

there are many cars u can buy with the budget, the golf tsi is not bad at all, just that remember it has the power of approximately a 2.0 n/a car, like civic 2.0 has 155hp, golf tfsi would be about 160hp?

its up to u really, but the golf would be safer, having ESP and a nice dsg gearbox, it would be more responsive and sporty, are u fine with 2nd hand cars? maybe u can consider a honda integra dc5 ? just saying
