As I said earlier, I have somehow started this quest for a replacement car since sometime September last year. Thus, I have a slight idea on what I wanted ... a value for money, good fuel consumption, easy to drive, city car. Budget, well, if something worthy and safe to drive is found at less than RM50,000 would be ideal. However, for safety sake, I am willing to fork out anything below RM100,000.
Motive:
Actually, my motive to change the car, is basically, very basic. It's time for change. My car is already 10 years old. Although, it has low mileage, 89,000 km since September 1997, as I seldom drive the car, the car as per any other Proton cars, has a very very loud rattling sound whenever I start the car. Colleagues tells me that I am driving a jet rather than a car as the engine sure sounds louder than a jet engine. I told them that a lot of youngster pay good money to purposely make their new car sounds similiar to mine.... hahaha. Well, since I can afford it, I thought I should replace it for my own safety. I mean, Iswara has no airbags, no abs, in fact, no safety feature, period. I am a safe driver and thank God for keeping me safe all these years (accident free car). However, as the number of "Kopi-O" licence drivers increase on the road, it's a rather logical to take measures to protect oneself with a safer armour/car.
Criteria:
I am no prima donna when it comes to choosing a car. I don't have much criteria. A car to me is basically a mode of transportation. So asking me to list down my criterias are a bit tricky but here's how my ad will go:
Looking for a replacement car. The candidate:
1) Must be a 4-door car. (Why? Will tell you later.)
2) ABS brake system is an added advantage.
3) Dual airbags is an added advantage but single airbags are encourage to apply.
4) Ideally, asking price should be below RM100,000.
5) Any type or models may apply if fuel consumption is reasonable.
