Hi alice ,
I think you got a wide range to decide . It is only up to your budget . Few car I think is suitable for ladies : Start from cheapest...
1)Perodua Myvi - price around 40 to 50k . very nice car to use in town.good pickup/acceleration , easy to drive and easy to park , very responsive , spacious and fuel consumption not high . maintenance is also cheap.The only thing is that if you use it for long distance journey , then maybe slightly disappointed.sound proof and car stability a bit poor.top speed also a bit disappointed.
2)Suzuki swift - price around 70k . also a very nice town car . good acceleration , small size , easy to drive and park . fuel consumption also not high. nice exterior . The only concern is maintenance , not sure it is cheap or not as suzuki's car is a bit few in malaysia . Also afraid resale value.
3)Toyota vios - price around 70k . I think no need to say more about this car . A lot of ppl know.Fuel consumption low , good pickup , low maintenance and good resale value . It is only the exterior look which i think is subjective.But for me , i don't like the interior and room space maybe a bit small.. ( Honda city is also in this segment but a bit expensive compare to vios - city - 84k above)
4)Nissan latio sport hatchback . Price around 95+k . Interior spacious , quiet engine and good sound proof , responsive acceleration.but a bit expensive for a 1.6 car.
5)Higher price range is honda civic 1.8 or toyota altis . Price ranging from 110k to 120k.Can read my previous post review on altis and civic.
6)Last but not least which i think is everyone's dream car - Mini cooper 1.6 or cooper S ... hehehe
Hopefully can help you a bit . Maybe yen can add somemore comment.
Thanks..
