1st March marked the day I started working. So it marks the first anniversary of my working life. Right....

Anyway, if there were any questions on what car I would buy if I got for a certain amount of money, my choice would be:

100k to 150k : Ford Focus 2.0L Sport - Great looking, German engineered, different from the rest.

70-85k: Honda City iDSI - Extremely good fuel consumption, practical on space, great realiability

Less than 50k:... rather keep my present car and save somemore to buy bigger cars

I'll definetely avoid Protons , Perodua, Naza and Korean cars. My family has a Kia Sportage and I can say it has suffered a failed oxygen sensor a few times, a blown radiator valve (too much pressure) and now in hospital coz the radiator dried up and need a top overhaul (the top part of the engine 'burn'). Six years old and only covered 145000 km. Oh, it drinks alot for such a small 4wd. Thankfully it is a company car.

As for the other type of makes and models:-
Proton : We already have one. One is enough. Not bashing though, but would like something different
Perodua : Too small for my liking, good for 'Penyus' though
Naza : Seem to have all the old outdated models from Kia, Peuguet and Hafei Hobo. If Naza bring us NEW and CURRENT models maybe can consider.
Toyota : Two is enough. Too common though.
Honda : Like the Jazz and City. Rather take Focus for the Accords price range
Suzuki: The swift is nice, but too small and thanks to P.... nvm
Hyundai : The new Sonata looks good.. then for that price..
Mazda : If can top-up to 160k, can consider Mazda 6

Totally out of the league unless your company pays for it:-
Mercedes
BMW
Lexus
Volkswagen
