if petrol cost is not a problem, go for the cefiro. Powerful engine and stabil for long distance driving.
Myvi is cheaper in maintenance and sip fuel compared to cefiro. Myvi is decent car, and its has proven its practicality among Malaysian drivers.

I won't comment much on the look wise.

Any other waana comment?

both of the cars haev 2 very different performance characteristics .... if you prefer performance over practicality ..proceed with cefiro..if not stick to myvi

 

[moodswingfella]

u r not comparing same category of car.....whether to buy it used or new.
u r comparing a very contrast different segment....so its depend on yourself....couldnt find any reason to advice....make your own decision.

1 is a super saloon & another one is a daily driven compact car.

cefiro can go for super VIP

A32 is gr8 value if u r plannin to get the later version (brougham) but u cant convert to SR20DET for sure as they r FF, not FR like A31. its much more comfortable and its not expensive to repair or maintain them but since they r old, u will need to spend quite a lot of money to fix/repair faulty or worn out parts. unless u r able to find a decent unit (1 careful owner) then u will hv less headache. most common prob with the A32 is the g/box and roadtax issue. rm2xxx per yr! many opt to change to 2.5 V6 from halfcut n its less than rm5k for everything.

as for myvi, u will hv no prob for 5yrs or more! can use the extra money for modding/family etc. although its a lot smaller n less powerful, u save a lot if u intend to use as daily car.

my family owned A32 for 13 yrs b4 selling off n they never failed on us. gr8 work horse if well taken care.

ok... tq for advice... now i guest A31 is better then A32. and walking is better from buying a car for short distance

if your wallet permits the Cefiro then go for it.. bigger n luxury car tends to not tire the driver for long distance drive... myvi is an economical car... a choice for most ppl...
