1) Inokon Getz
2) Myvi
3) Vios J
Inokom Getz's spec is a bit confusing some say got ABS, some say no. Moreover there is Hyundai Getz somemore.
As for Myvi - boot space is small
Vios J manual ok or not. I will be test driving it this weekend. Just want to get some Toyota users' comment on Vios J.
Any current promotion? What is the best discount and freebies available? Any major problems with the car apart from the suspension knocking sound (as mentioned by a few forummers)
Thanks

anyway, all new getz is coming. not malaysia but korea.
myvi is reasnable choice. spacios, cheap for its price, DOHC DVVT and timing chain, 4 speed auto, ABS, airbag except that there's just too many on the roads and handling is like sampan.
vios J is the cheapest japanese car u can get. it has electric power steering, DOHC VVTI 16V and ABS (no airbag though).
it is the lowest spec in vios line up so one could not expect it with extraordinary finishes but rather an entry level to toyota family cars.
the new city is equally a good car at 85K (S spec) vs 85K vios G but u need to fork another 15K for that.
i say, vios J is a good buy. also available in auto spec.

Getz has the looks n engine is ok as its sourced by Mitsubishi while transmission from JATCO. Body frame n build is tougher. If u don't mind resale value, u could try.
Anyhow, test drive all kaw2 b4 u buy, worths the fun n to gain experience

Tony,
Your range of car is from rm40K to rm70K. What is your actual budget?
If you love your wife, better buy a car with minimum 1 airbag lah!! Skip Vios J which does not even have a single airbag. I know of a friend of mine is saved because of his car fitted with airbag.
Consider Suzuki Swift and Naza 206 also. Good looking car that most female drives.

Fifth Gear showed a 5Star Euro NCAP small hatch crashed a Volvo 940.. though both got a/bags but Volvo serious injury and the lil car unscatched.. so higher safety rating + airbag for safety wise..
If not mistaken below are crash test ratings Euro NCAP for the following:
Waja 3 star
daihatsu Sirion/Myvi 4star
Swift 4star
Sentra/Almera 4 star
Latio 4.5 star
Getz 3.5 star
Civic 5 star
Altis 5 star
All the cars tested frontal 64 kph with dual a/bags.. Side 50kph plus some pedestrian tests.

swift is not bad since most ladies drive it.myvi also ok but really not nice to drive. vios J really "kosong" car, so better get a car which has standard safety features. good luck in making ur decision
