I second the March, look decent and can be quite fashion.

March is pretty decent I concur, but the problem is rarity unless TC still want to go back tan chong do servicing.

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.

 

My wife was quoted 2k+ for a Jazz before. Absolutely ridiculous [shakehead][sweatdrop]

Why open so another thread just because the response wan't good?

 

Actually, any hatchback will do as it fits you. It really doen't matter if it's a 4.2M long or 3.6M long hatchback. The turning radius is about there, parking challenge is the same (if skill is lousy, parking a QQ can be tough also).

Not to mention the repaired accident machines

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.

 

Really?

 

I drove a Getz and found it really reliable.

 

And it has been wearing really well.

 

:D

More of the racer types buy and crash them. Try getting quotes for other similars like Subarus and the Rx8. Can faint

My female colleague drives a Subaru R1

 

and finds it really easy to drive.

 

Safety should be the priority.

 

Safety of all the other road users and

 

parked cars.

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). haha

 

I 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.

I had seen alot of guys when they first posted to sales, they had the tpt allowance.

Then sales figures cannot make it, posted back to ops and tpt allowance removed.

 

So my advice is to get a old small car with min risk if it's your first sales job.

My swift insurance cost as much as my colt turbo. Very funny since the colt is supposed to be more powerful and more risk. Luckily now full ncd so I pay less than half. Edited by Pocus
