    My favourite and first Malaysian car was a 2011 Lexus CT200h. One owner. 190K km.. Dead hybrid battery. Buy for cash. (No loan possible). MYR35K. Now, 1 year later - price is MYR30K. New Hybrid battery was MYR4K.

    If plan to adventure the across country, it's a good idea to rent, or buy if you stay long term. Either a car or a bike. There are lots of places to visit scattered across the country. Train or Grab will not do justice. You will be lock down to the big cities only. If you are a content creator, get a car or a bike. Too many content from the same location. Need new content, need to venture out.
    And get a Touch N Go card. Very very important. There was a youtuber got stuck at the tol because have no card.

    buying 2nd hand car made in korea or europe much cheap in Malaysia, but make sure you choose the right and the best. because cost of repair korea or europe car much high in Malaysia. That's why it much cheaper compared to japanese car.

    Price listed on those websites you mentioned are not the final price. You can negotiate it down to a lower price as is usually the case in Malaysia.

      We did try the bikes but we felt very unsafe here in the heavy car traffic. (We are used to driving bikes in Asia but Malaysia was a bit different)

      @@HDtravelstories riding bike here in Malaysia not exactly safe, people drive and ride like maniac here.
      Im from Penang i know because Penang probably have the most aggressive driver in whole country. To survive driving here dont be afraid be a little rude not to extend cut people off but a little its fine as most people would give you a honk and move on.
      Just be more alert with bikes, they can be anywhere anytime even from place you dont expect them to be. But most of the time drive like a normal person its fine.
      Have fun and enjoy the cheap fuel here.

      Not sure if you know but the average car to rent is about the 2k for a month and some people also have pets like us and a lot of rental company don't like that.
      And used cars are a lot cheaper if they last then a rental car.
      Also less Hassel

    Korean cars are fine. Don't take Malaysians too seriously when it comes to cars. To the majority of Malaysians, anything that's not a Toyota or a Honda will break down frequently, hard and expensive to maintain/repair, and hard to find spare parts. I have owned 4 Korean cars in my lifetime, all of them I bought second hand. I assure you from personal experience, Korean cars are neither hard nor expensive to maintain, and no, they don't break down frequently, and spare parts are just as readily available at any shop as parts for Honda or Toyota and priced similarly to those two Japanese brands.
