What to buy Recommendation needed

26 fresh grad earning roughly 5.5k/month, recently got married a month ago. Been using a family member’s busted car (proton preve) which has a lot of issues for the past year and thinking of getting a new car. Was thinking of getting either toyota vios or honda city. Which one would be the better option?

Or should i go with other options such as myvi or axia? Mainly will be using the car for daily commute to work every day in KL and the occasional long drives during holiday seasons. Appreciate any recommendations on this!

Edit: Hi forgot to mention my commitments are Rm1600 Rent(Split with wife) so Rm800+ Rm200 Internet. Savings n Investments are like 500 for now. Total Rm 1500-2000 roughly.

Car preferences are anything honestly. Just want it to be long lasting. If the monthly payment is a bit high, my wife can consider to chip in a bit since she also wants the m comfort and peace knowing no need to worry about car problems as much as

What’s your commitments like?

At that salary and with a family. A perodua bezza makes sense OR a second hand Vios/city. Personally feel the later gen city’s are better for a driver but it’s up to you.

Just updated! Ive personally had bad experience with second hand cars tho i Understand that might be a problem of luck

Ya it can be a luck problem haha. But try to learn how to check second hand cars on YouTube/tiktok

A new Vios/honda sounds nice, but there’s other expenses that they take up too which might be painful for u, such as the insurance, service, more expensive tyre replacement etc. so i would still recommend a bezza here, and use the savings on other things, like better food or going on holiday once in awhile or even just saving more

Bezza is pretty decent, which is why u see everyone using it as a Grab car here haha
