Looks like you are looking something below $80K.
If price alone is a consideration, buy Korean, probably cannot get
a more mechanically sound car than Kia Caren or even the Trajet. It
is huge for its price. Caren is price $20K cheaper than the Wish
and would outweigh whatever fuel inefficiency it has during the car
lifespan, and you actually pay a lot less if you can just gaetting
a car to move around the family.
All the cars are pretty reliable with the older Technology car
easier to maintain.
If you have got children, buy one with sliding door. Easier access
and don't have to worry that your child opening the door into other
people's car.
Buy one with rear window that can be open to access the storage
behind. If you park in multi storey Carpark, you will probably
unlikely to open your rear door if you reverse park. Having the
glass openable make it easier for you to deposit your shoppings,
take the childs pram etc.
Not many car have this feature. I drive a Prairie that have these
suitable features and found it extremely useful in my daily
routine. The car is good to drive, CVT transmission is smooth,
excellent visibility and driving position, sufficient power but it
would good if it can have Wish mileage. Currently, the car does
480km/52 L. The last trip to Malaysia incl Highland driving, it did
630/52L. have taken it all the way to Cameron and back without
problem.
If you can wait, try the new Toyota ISIS. Humongous sliding door on
passenger side, 1.8L VVTi engine, CVT Transmission and it's a Japan
Made Toyota.
