And I thought I signature would be clear enough. Anyway, I went
for budget ride, Perodua Kelisa.
My Max budget was 61.5k then, aiming for a hatchback. Aveo wasn't
really value for money at that time (End of 2004), and Ignis just
got taken off the shelf (My first choice). So rather go for a
budget ride for my first car. Mount kerb, ramp lancer, scratch here
and there, still don't feel so heart pain. Plus got a couple of
spare cash for do funny things to the car.
I tested lancer too, but was going for the cute image. And lancer
was 62-63k then, so a little steep. If you are going for Mazda, did
you look at Honda? In my opinion, Honda car are generally good if
you can afford it.
