whats wrong with a f used tiida though..??
cost is wayyy cheaper than showroom.
suspension is ok- install poly bushings and u good to go.
parts gettin cheaper and cheaper.
every tom dick an harry hav a scan tool now so they cud tell u the issue.
HR15 engine so u sippin gas. not like a SR20.
brakes cheap - tiida sylphy k12 march and y12 wingroad usin same pads an possibly shoes.

why u want to go and buy a brand new car for.?
a brand new car covering the SAME distance as a f used one using the SAME super gas. just the number plates newer.

Thanks you guys.I wanted to buy a new one before this one starts giving me probs.I already fixed my entire suspension. Two years ago i used Superpro bushings...I think superpro should be a must for tiida drivers ... it works fantastic bacause my friend who used the regular bushings replaced hers twice already.I replaced my four shocks last year so suspension wise I am good.But my car would be 9years in Dec.YOu don't think time for a change?

Check out the Honda city. There is a cng model as well. Check classic motors website.

can't go wrong with the CNG City....only downside is the limited trunk space (like a hatchback)
At that price, I can't see anyone buying anything else, I mean heck it runs on CNG!
Only other decent cars in that range are the Swift and Ciaz, both of which I have driven, and think also offer good value for money (notwithstanding the CNG thing)

Im not a honda fan. but actually liking what i'm reading. had a few cng vehicles before.
but this line though "so you can enter the vehicle and take off in the blink of an eye"

Ok.THanks.Any reviews on the yaris?

[MG Man]

it looks stupid :p

[Dreamygirl]

I find its a classy girly car.lol

[speedist]

^ ewwww. You said yaris. Car feels like it tops out at 60kmh and has THE most boring dash set up ever imo.

[Dreamygirl]

Well what car would u recommend

[racedriverpro]

Honda city is the best option Imo. It's a cost effective option including fuel to make service costs at the firm more affordable in relation to your warranty.

do we have to whack you over your head with a bat that says BUY A FKING HONDA CITY!!!!?

[MG Man]

lol this is my normal self
but this is why it's hard to give advice to people....they already know what they want, and are just looking for confirmation or reassurance
A while back, a friend asked me what is a good affordable car....I told her the Hyundai Elantra / Kia Cerato is the absolute best option if you want value for money....good quality, benz-level luxury features, and likely to hold value as they gain popularity.....

*awkward pause*

What's the problem?
Well me eh really like dem koren car nah, dem ting too common (she didn;t have to say it but the self perceived snobbery / superiority was there)
Ok fine, so what kinda car were you thinking of then?

I kinda like de Jetta

I told her to fck off....you already know what you want, and get offended when I suggest something that fits the parameters you gave me, and you were fishing for reinforcement of your own misguided sense of class and whatever.....

160k? Honda City CNG..NO MATHS THERE
If you want trunk space though, Ciaz

[konartis]

Upgrade to a PDJ tiida, very cost effective...

[konartis]

165k for a new mazda 3, really nice and is the best option out there

[Dreamygirl]

if you going to be on the road plenty especially on the highway I would recommend going with a slightly larger car like the mazda3/ sentra/ corolla. With the Tidda/ city you actually feel the movement on the highway when a bigger vehicle passes

[MG Man]

^^^dumbest argument ever

yuh does wonder if these fellas does find their information at the bottom of a KLIM pan

If I had to buy a car now, with the amount of driving that I do and the places I go, I would buy either a Honda City CNG if I had to be practical, or I would buy a Suzuki Swift Sport (with the manual transmission) because I think it is good value for the money.

Re-sale value does not matter to me with the length of time that I keep my cars (15+ years) they all basically end up having the same residual value.
