Songcheong Neutral Newbie September 4, 2010 Share September 4, 2010 Today is the first time to be there. nice experience. look for Mazda 3, lancer GLX, Vios, Honda City, Impreza, somemore Honda Civic 1.6. gather the advices from sales man and with my own perception on the above car models. cost of maintenance for Impreza is pretty high. not suitable for family used. Mazda 3 pick up very slow but very stable in high speed drive. Lancer GLX offer a good price, but interior and ex. so so only. Honda City, very less in market. y y y y??? Honda civic 1.6L, out of my budget, but overall is suit to my requirement. haiz.... and advice?? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged September 4, 2010 Share September 4, 2010 Are you a first time car owner? Given the below, I would choice Old Face Lift MZ3, follow by either Civic 1.6 or Impreza or City. Will not consider Lancer, Vios as firstly, drove the lancer before and I don't like it. Vios, too skinny for my liking. I had only driven old MZ3, under power but you have a European feel to it. Furthermore, it is the smallest Jap Sedan to "pass off" as an executive car. Civic whichever model is good but if that it is FD model, 1.6 is seriously underpower too and well over your budget. So I assume you are referring to the late model which the car is light, got power and quite nice to drive. Impreza, just afraid people say I am Wrx wannabe... City, good car but depending on which year.... If it is not the current model, I will not choice it as too skinny for my liking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vios, if the price is reasonable, is it a good choice for me even i knw it is pretty skinny. Civic, even is underpower, but overall design is very nice. Lancer glx, the price is in my budget and easy to be a first car owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juzaguy Clutched September 5, 2010 Share September 5, 2010 (edited) Hi SongCheng, I'm selling my lancer glx registered Jul'05. Car in VERY good condition. Although it's a basic version but headlight and taillight are both sports version. Interior is grey and exterior paintwork in excellent condition. Looking at $27888(neg) to sell off. Reason for selling is due to upgrading. Edited September 5, 2010 by Juzaguy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
