Nissan Almera: New Car with keyless Push up button,and wide space behind but oldish interior look

Honda City : Sporty Design NewFacelift,with Cool Interior Design,Good Performance,but Pack Space compare to nissan Almera

Kia forte: Fullly High Tech Accesories ,+ Wide Space,but No second hand Values.

Out of the 3.. I'd choose honda city

I-VTEC.. U?

 

[katakmalaya]

for me , will go for forte . because nowadays korean car much more better than before . It is much more technological and comes with a good specs . e.g 2 airbags , DRL , EBD , ESC , TCS , BA . you won't get this on another brands .

even some of them beaten japs car .

worried about resale value ? you won't sell the car after 1 year use right ? at leat 4-5 years before thinking to sell it again .

at that time , the resale value is almost the same with the other brands , on par I said .

:)

if im u, ill wait for the new k3 forte bro. looks good..
are u rushing to get a car by end of this year?

im not sure about u, but if im getting a new car, i would get the car that i feel the best suited for me and which i really like the most. i wont think much about 2nd hand car value as cars are NOT an investment object. so no matter what, dont end up buying cars just for the sake of second hand value. u will never get to ride the car u like & love..

unless u plan to use it for only 1-2 years then change again, then its ok to go for higher 2nd hand value car. if u dont plan to change anytime soon (lets say 5years++), i suggest go with your heart and feel which u like better. u wont regret it..

i got myself a ford fiesta XTR, though many would say that is a "cold car" with low 2nd hand value. had never regretted my decision ever since then and been enjoying my ride everyday.

just my 0.00000002cents

here's a good read for all
Main - Drive - Buying for resale @ Wed Oct 24 2012

The "space" U're referring to, interior or rear trunk space? If its not one of your main criteria & U're willing to accept something with less space, the Ford Fiesta is actually a good buy, worth considering & can be included in your list of choices. Forgive me for giving U more choices ...more headache...heheehe

I"ll 2nd what bro Melvin suggested, go test drive the cars in your list & choose the one your heart desires. And if U really sayang your hard money more, and worry so so much about resale value, nothing else matters, then maybe get yourself reliable 2nd hand used car, won't depreciate as much over the years, compared to buying a brand new car =)

Kia Forte = EOL already, replacement already out. Its like paying full price to buy obsolete car. Imagine iPhone 5 haven't reach Malaysia and now you go buy iPhone 4s.. sohai right?

Honda City = It's a Honda. Proven solid car.

Nissan Almera = No idea, but RM80k.. can get Honda City.

Between this 2 just choose the one you like. I-VTEC, do you?

 

[LesleyAprotto]

If i were you....

I would either keep the Altis

Or

Buy a newer model Altis...

TOYOTA- GET THAT FEELING!

 

[6UE5t]

If want so save fuel, get the Almera cuz it's been proven by Paul Tan that it can get up to 18km/ltr with avg. around 16km/ltr.
Otherwise, just keep the current Altis.

good discount...have u seen the honda jazz hybrid as well....

 

[kokanChai]

i am not sure

i dun like Jazz hybrid.so didnt bother to ask.

 

[ixeo]

Don't buy Honda Jazz hybrid CKD model. That's stupid.

Insight is a good purchase, even better if you travel a lot.

 

[EvolutionZ]

prius C almost same price...had great reviews too

 

[cvkit17]

Insight is a good choice I believe. But how does a fish caused you to change decision?

 

[Izso]

I hate hybrids. But for the 85k price tag and those 3 car choices, I'd ask the TS to consider the Prius C.

1. Nissans these day aren't as well made as their predecessors. Unless it's a range topping Teana or R35, the lower range cars are crap in terms of QC.

2. I have a City in the family and I hate driving it. It feels like a brick to drive and the Vios outperforms it in terms of nimble-ness and sheer response. The City feels heavy too, perhaps because of the ridiculous 16" heavyweight rims. I'd give this a skip - but this is my personal opinion (which I am entitled to)

3. The Forte is a great car, but handling wise it's no Wira. Feels weird to push this car hard but it's a great cruiser and it comes super well equipped compared to its competitors. However like everyone has said - K3 is coming. Why buy an old model? Unless they are giving you superbly huge discounts, I wouldn't consider the old car either.

Ultimately dude - what car you choose is really up to you. All 3 cars you listed have their pros and cons, it's just a matter of how they make you feel.

Quote Drexchan : "Love what you drive, drive what you love".

It'll be your car afterall.

 

[pwhyze]

Seems like a good choice, I'm considering the Insight as well.

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Insight you will never like the interior space the car have. You would rather get a more spacious and cheaper Honda Jazz Hybrid
rather than the Insight. Yet, the Jazz is a much better choice. Spacious, nice interior and comfortable. Only get the CBU
model though, don't really fancy the CKD model...seems lots of things are different. Really a knock down model...

If I'm TS i will go for City, if Forte, only if it is a 2.0cc Model. 1.6cc can forget about it.

From what I remember k3 only comes in 1.6cc model Izso bro? If not mistaken they dont have a 2.0cc
K3. So, if Forte wanna get, get the 2.0cc ones.

 

[pwhyze]

Oh, Insight's interior is smaller than Jazz? Jazz didn't struck me as having a spacious interior though. So Insight's is worse?
