Recommended economical car

[jeffcal]

Hi

I'm thinking of looking for an economical car with good mileage/fuel consumption and cheap maintenance hopefully.

I dun earn that much and I v chin chye.
Dun care about style, crampness, engine power, or passenger/driver comfort.Gonna drive around q often, prob about 500km-600km per month approx, coz of job.

My driving pattern is generally slow and smooth.

Where should i start, and what are more critical factors/specs I should look at?

Also, seems I can't find stats on fuel effiency on diff models easily. Prob coz hard to test.Anyone has any car recommendations? Thanks :wink:

1) your budget how much?
2) monthly u able to pay how much?
3) refer to this thread (http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=60453) there got links for second hand car, informations on PI
4) usually for second hand car if possible try to source for repossess car. Else find those mileage vs age of car as low as possible.

if budget allow, get a mid-end continental car or new jap cars... if not, get economic car to save FC.. like vios, altis, fit/jazz blah blah (tons of them on the road).. try to avoid korean and malaysia cars unless u have tight budget (i hate to say this but they never improve)
