            <title>Need help in buying new car</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4757023</link>
            <description>As title said,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m having problem to decide which car to purchase atm after test drive cars like Honda city, Kia Cerato, Vento, Polo, M2, vios will test drive Vios next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will be my next car after driving my myvi SE for 11 years(the car is getting alot of problem, now the aircond will suddenly die while driving, and my front suspension is scrieking with sound) . This new car will be a long term or will drive for at least 7 years and above unless it causing alot of problem. Drive mostly in urban area with once in a while outstation trip. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honda City&lt;br /&gt;I somehow don&amp;#39;t really like the exterior and interior. It look unattractive especially the dashboard design it look cheap. Handling tbh, is not that great as other claimed in this forum.. I&amp;#39;m comparing it to the polo and Vento. It does have the power u need when stepping on the gas pedal compare to the vw 1.6L engine but lose out to the Vento 1.2tsi. Rebate rm3k though.. Sadly Civic is no more available until further notice.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kia Cerato 1.6sx&lt;br /&gt;The good side of this car is nice exterior and interior loaded with tons of feature, rebate up to rm15k which bring down to the price almost same with City V spec or vios g.  Now the issue is the power of the 1.6L engine is really underpowered for this car.. Another 1 of the problem I have during the test drive Is I heard a very loud screeching noise from the car suspension, I ask why the sound and the guy told me is due to the car is new so there will sound from the suspension.. Need Cerato owner to clarify on this as I smell BS...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VW &lt;br /&gt;Lack of feature compare to vios and city, but the driving experience is really awesome. The build quality of this car is gud, can feel it when u close the door and when u driving it on the road. The 1.6L engine is not that powerful though when I try to over take car, but in 1.2 turbo in Vento is totally opposite. Read a lot of bad feedback from everywhere saying that the turbo have lots of issue and maintenance is super expensive after the 3 years free maintenance. Rebate 6k for polo and 11k for Vento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;M2&lt;br /&gt;Well driving exp is the best among all, interior and exterior look awesome, though the infotainment does not have apple carplay? or android Auto. the most expensive among all with no rebate. Passenger seat is super crampy but not an issue for me as I not yet married. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vios&lt;br /&gt;Have a look at a showroom recently but not yet test drive until later this weekend, the overall look of the car is better than city, but due to vios is a new car, it doesnt have any rebate or whatsoever. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I initially want to choose either Cerato or VW.. Now I dunno anymore. Shud I fix my myvi, save up more money and try to wait till 3rd quarter 2019 to check out all the new C-segment car that incoming or juz buy 1 of the above as new car are expensive. Any feedback from u all are appreciated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
