            <title>Considering a new car....</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/991752</link>
            <description>Now, I don&amp;#39;t know if this is already covered or not (if it is, my apologies to the mods)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been thinking for a while now about replacing my current Wira SE with another car, since my Wira has already taken its toll (3 crashes, 5 years old but still at low mileage around 28k km).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that the choice is on to me whether which car I choose for my daily drive, I would like the Sifu&amp;#39;s advice upon this matter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have three cars currently considering:&lt;br /&gt;Toyota Vios&lt;br /&gt;Toyota Corolla Altis&lt;br /&gt;Toyota Celica (this is what I&amp;#39;m considering at the moment)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I know all of them are Toyotas, its because the service is easier since my family car is a Toyota Estima &lt;!--emo&amp;:peace:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/icon_rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='icon_rolleyes.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The constraints here are not exactly limited, with the budget is approximately around 150k.&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t really intend to go for new cars, second hand and recon cars are fine (along with how old are they, it&amp;#39;s better the age range is from 2000 onwards)&lt;br /&gt;Fuel Consumption - Not really much of a problem here, I just want to know the maintenance cost for the three cars.&lt;br /&gt;Although suggestions are fine, I prefer to stick with Toyota cars &lt;!--emo&amp;:nod:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/nod.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nod.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if i&amp;#39;m not mistaken, there&amp;#39;s been a blur line for the Celica. Some say that the maintenance are quite costly, others say that it actually uses the drivetrain similar found in the Toyota Corolla Altis. Is this true?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appreciate if Sifus here can help me on this. Thanks in advance.</description>
