Recon Toyota Wish,
Brand New Grand Livina or Livina X-Gear,
Recon Mitsu Grandis,
Brand New Naza Kia Rondo II,

That's those that I can come up with on top of my head.

trust me, polo will beat the rest.
1.2 tsi, fuel consumption is outstanding, powerful car not to mention the build quality, its solid.
Just 9k more, you can get better driving pleasure...

Or you can look for ford fiesta one of the best handling hatch back of 2011. new car 83k. build quality is good too.

thnx guys.... will talk to my wife on the polo...

mazda 2 hatchback vs fiesta?

If you already narrowed down to Mazda 2 hatchback vs fiesta hatchback.

100% go for fiesta.

Let's see Fiesta vs Mazda 2 feature:

    6-Speed Dual Clutch Powershift® Automatic Transmission / 4 speed automatic (once you try directshift gearbox, you won't go back for conventional automatic)
    Electronic Stability Program (ESP) / Don't have
    Traction Control System (TCS) / Don't have
    Antilock Braking System (ABS) / Yes
    Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) / Yes
    Driver & Passenger Airbags / Yes
    Bluetooth/USB/iPod Connectivity & Voice Control / Not sure
    Power of 122PS @ 6300rpm / 76Kw (103PS) @ 6000 rpm   
    Ford Easy Fuel / Not sure
    Fuel consumption 5.9L per 100KM / no record
    16" alloy wheels / 15" alloy wheels (16" with higher spec)

With around 5k more... you got lots of things you can't get in Mazda2.

And the Fiesta look better  ;D

Between Fiesta and Mazda2, I would go for Fiesta as well.
More knick knacks and value for money... not to mention it looks better...

I support the Fiesta, test drove it and it handled very well.
Gearbox is very smooth in changes and the power delivery is good.
Small on interior space though.

Yea, Fiesta is equipped with almost european standard.
Polo, Fiesta & Mazda 2 will have similar room space, they are fall into same B segment car.

between,  i am not VW or Ford salesman... Just here to share my opinion.
I'm just a car lover like how much i like watch.  ;D

hmmm...and with budget of <80k, that's like asking for in-house movement for less than 5k...not impossible but very limited choices  :thumbsdown:

If you are lucky enough, you can spot some BMW's in Kajang area (Pre-owned cars) with good condition (year between 2005-2007) below RM80K.
