Korean cars not good resale value and engine bit harsh.
Japanese cars more refined. Plenty of HRV in KL but production is just 2000 units per month, so supply not enough.
Honda will be launching the new Civic in June so if you like saloon, wait for this one.

One of my clients in Toyota told me that, his biggest problem is convincing dealers to order less cars from their factory as they cannot keep up. lol
While another client working for a troubled American/European manufacturer, said their biggest problem is threatening dealers to take in more. What a world.
KIA Sportage is definitely worth considering. I think currently there is a promotion going on with good discounts.
I bought a Cerato 2.0 almost 1.5 years ago and I'm very happy with the car.

Time to look out for a new car to match the completion of the condo/house. Only concern is this car is just too flashy on Malaysia roads.

This car sure looks good. I am not worried about how flashy it looks, but rather, it will not hit the Malaysian road anytime soon. Did a google search; 1 article published in March seems to say that it will hit European road this year, and it will only be next year that it will find its way to US :-(.
So far no news of this car at all. Can't even smell it.
Next month, the new Honda Civic is going to be launched in Malaysia and Honda Mobilo which is a low height MPV will be launched late 2016. Proton will be launching the rebadged Suzuki Ertiga MPV and Perdana which is also a modified version of Honda Accord in the coming months.
Also there will be a Perodua Axia Sedan coming out next month.
I need a jump-start, battery somehow died despite the lights being off.
Anyone around the Ledang Heights/East Ledang region with jumper cables? I'll of course compensate you with a drink (or dinner if you prefer). Please PM me.

HONDA Civic 1.5 Turbo.......sedap. But not worth the expected price of RM140k.

Wait for the 1.8 version non turbo. RM120k only. Now showrooms accepting bookings.
Malaysia yet to implement Vehicle Entry Permit system for Singapore vehicles
"KUALA LUMPUR - The Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for Singaporean vehicles entering Johor has yet to be implemented as Malaysia is still finalising technical details, The Straits Times understands from the country's transport ministry on Wednesday (May 4).
Although state news agency Bernama reported in January that Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai was planning a May launch, two ministry officials told The Straits Times that the minister had never outlined a start date.
"Minister hasn't announced (the) date," an aide said, adding that no timeline would be in place "until the system is ready".
Other reports had also cited road transport and Johor state officials as saying the VEP would be in place by June, with over 120,000 Singaporean vehicles having registered for the scheme.
In April, Datuk Seri Liow was reported saying that once details of the proposal had been ironed out, the government would announce the implementation date.
The move to impose the levy - reported to be RM20 (S$6.80) per trip - on Singapore-registered vehicles was supposed to be implemented on Aug 1 last year but has been repeatedly deferred.
The VEP will be effective on both routes into Malaysia - the Causeway and the Second Link.
Malaysian cars entering Singapore now pay S$35 in VEP per day on week days while motorcyclists are charged S$4."

Nah... once you've driven a Turbo, you won't want to go back to NA cars.
For me, that's an overkill and unnecessary, because I'll constantly have fear of it being stolen, hijacked or myself being robbed, especially in Malaysia. A sub-2 litre Turbo is sufficient for me. No need to be so "how lian" even if I can afford. As long as I can overtake with ease when needed is enough. Also, I'll never buy Continental cars because most are not tropicalized for our weather.

True, the reconditioned ones and grey imports are not suitable even those from Japan.
The locally assembled German cars and those from Thailand are tropicalised.
Having said that, I ahve seen many SG plate luxury cars on MY roads everytime I drive to JB. So maybe it is a matter of risk appetite.
Is that a GS300?
I am a fast car addict
German with original specs Rear tyres 265 R18 Front tyres 245 R18
So I think you can guess.
Lucky u. Driving to me is consider a form of relaxation. Esp if listening to your fav music with Decent ICE.
Used to like Power in my 20s. Now I'm more seduced By Comfort & Built Quality.
Continental Cars's Built Quality still 1 or 2 notches Up.
Lexus is catching up thou. I'm a Lexus Fan.

Lexus is extremely quiet and smooth. A very good car.
I am nearing my retirement yet still driving a sports version...still ya ya..LOL
The saying goes, enjoy what u like in your life. Live with no regrets.
Leave some but not leave all to your kids.
After paper evaluation, I've shortlisted Tucson and CX-5 as my chosen SUV. On paper, the Tucson is up on features. It has an In-vehicle camera installed. Didn't hv time to test drive them in JB, I visited the SG showrooms instead. I started with Tucson and was quite pleased with its handling. I was however, more impressed when I next test drove the CX-5. Like ECBoy said, it is very smooth and drove like a salon. Next move is to test drive the MY cars in JB to confirm that the experiences should not be different before committing.
