cocobay 2nd Gear October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 Hi, I posted for advice at the Jazz and Mazda thread, but no good response, thought of starting this thread for some advice.I am going into sales early next year, so will need a form of own transportation. This is the first time I am buying a car, and I am looking at resale rather than new. Can I request for some advice and help here?what I need is a Automatic compact car(saloon or hatchback ), easy to drive, easy to maintain, and easy to park ( very bad at parking). hahaI will have $1000 transport allowance, $500 petrol allowance, parking and ERP is claim as use. I want to keep the car expenses within this budget,is it possible? I have in mind Honda Jazz and Mazda2, any other recommendations welcome.Thank you all. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocus Turbocharged October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 Suzuki Swifts are good as new cars but not so for resale due to quality. They don't wear and tear as well as other similar cars. Honda Jazz is an ideal choice and a balance car or fuel efficient, space and ease of drive. Only price a bit on the high side that's cos it's one of the better ones. If you are not brand or looks conscious and okay with a compact sedan, can look at Toyota vios 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocus Turbocharged October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 Daihatsu Copen Maintenance more difficult as it's a PI and niche car. Need to do homework on where to service instead of going to any workshop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocus Turbocharged October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 Picanto Like swift, a good car if New buy don't wear and tear as well. Somehow that generation's Korean car is all like that. Getz also same problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the repaired accident machines Jazz insurance, although more exp, is not that much different from other compact hatches. TC you check first. Unless you are talking a about civics or type R. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
