All about cars in Malaysia

[crystal_tiong]

Why? Korean cars are so well made nowadays. They even give 10 years warranty in the US.

Hi Matix , I will reply u via PM

Ok so far, yes frequently but then the Ford Ranger sips diesel so full tank is about 900 plus km for range.

Ok, Thanks.

900km, wow.

Am thinking of getting a 7 year old proton perdana for light driving in malaysia. Anyone can provide feedback on whether it's a gd buy in terms of reliability?

alamak , Perodua Alza only 1.5L , no power leh ....

Hyundai Starex looks abit too big for me to handle ...

Can see see Toyota innova 2.0G. 8 seaters. ~109k. 2k rebate. Lady driver shld be able to handle well.

Hi Sister Crystal,

Alza is not really under powered, it's quite ok...do a test drive first...it's certainly a good buy for that price tag (servicing also will be cheaper)

hmmmm...if I read you correctly in your other posts, you do not intend to stay in jb... why do you need to get a Malaysia car?

just asking out of curiousity...

protons are cheap but note build quality is really inferior. for non fussy people only.

define ok.
if you mean does it have 4 wheels and aircon although it rattles everywhere and has hopeless build quality, then i guess it's ok.

lousy car but good enough to potter (ahem!) around in.

(edit: may i suggest you try the myVi (2nd hand). i hear it's better than proton. else you can always get a 2nd hand toyota cheap cheap.)

Myvi vvti engine much better savvy. low oil consumption. Spacious n better look. Proton eat oil heavy.
New car got e 'new car plastic fragrance', smell liao give u high.

Okay = Can get around safely (min two air-bags) and without breakdowns. I have found a Proton Savvy 2nd hand 1.2 Manual for about $13k RM. Yes, my preference is for Perodua 2nd hand car but there seem to be no cheap ones around ($<15k RM <-- I'm afraid of it being stolen while I use it to explore Malaysia).

I don't think these old Proton are safe though. Local call them death trap.

Yes, I will look around slowly as I'm not in a hurry to buy a 2nd hand car in JB. Now I'm just doing a market survey. Probably next year is a better time.

Fuel consumption for diesel car is very good esp good for high mileage but engine very rough and slightly noisier.
Notice that comfort level is not as good as petrol driven.
I would still prefer passenger vehicle eg sedan, wagon using petrol and others eg pickup, van, SUV using diesel.

I find the Perodua Myvis to be attractive and producing quite an impressive torque!
