1. Citroen DS3 - tested before. Surprisingly perky ... was told same 1.6L engine as the mini cooper ... rear row can swallow 3 avg 1.75m 85kg guys comfortably ...

2. Ford Fiesta - never test before, but like one bro says - if u can afford focus, why consider festia.

3. Peugeot 207 - never test before, but I guess it's rather cramp at rear bah.

4. Renault Megane - old model as well ?

5. Ford Focus (No test drive units available) - like one bro says - old model liao ....

Normally after test drive, you can short list 1 and 2 models that you like. It is very personal ego and taste, no point to ask other ppl. Instead, you should focus on the doubts if there is 2 models you like. If only one model, bingo you have the answer.

true, to a certain extend. but bear in mind that even new cars can be lemon and u can say its covered under warranty, the time to send it to the workshop and inconvenience is priceless. [laugh] [laugh]

 

luck does play a part. i have bought preown cars more than 10yrs old 100k km mileage n fortunately, they do not need any major repairs during my ownership [thumbsup]

These are usually Japanese made cars. Conti cars are unlikely to run up to 10 years 200k kms without a good round of parts replacement.

I believe each individual had got their unique requirements. Best to testeach short-listed models yourself. No test-drive, no purchase.

Seems like you have really no idea what you are looking for......Fiesta and Focus? It is like asking Vios and Corolla, City and Civic......Polo and Golf...Jetta and Passat

 

For the above, I will choose DS3

 

You want hatch back or sedan or small car like Fiesta, DS3??????????
