I would prefer produa. I bought a produa kancil in 2002. I bought at RM30k. I just sold my car this year. It lasted 20 years. It didnt give me any problem as I always service on time. It only start gave me some problem these two years. I bought second produa car in 2015 at 36k. Still driving it. Love produa car, affordable and less problem
As a Malaysian I'm so glad that Malaysia has 2 local car brands. Their cheap prices help million of young malaysians like me to own our first car when we just started working after graduate. I myself drove Kancil 850EX back then, it was very small but handy. Travel all over the country! Although nowadays I drive foreign brand car but perodua is still very near to my heart.
Great video Mr Taylor 👍🏻Always enjoyed it ! Looking forward to know about your bit of background stories and how to end up staying in our country -Malaysia 😊Foreigners( mostly English and Americans….) are tend to go Europe countries for their retirement rather than to South East Asia especially Malaysia as they don’t know much about this country and we’re honoured to have you here ! 👌🏻Malaysia is a multi- racial country and we all live peacefully and respect each other in many aspects and I’m very grateful for that 👌🏻❤Hope your day is just lovely!
G'day Taylor, Peugeot has car production in Malaysia at Gurun. Peugeot seems to be a very good value-for-money brand for late-model second-hand cars. A 508 model which is a large high-end car is cheaper in Malaysia than in Australia. Cars in Malaysia normally have lower mileage than cars in the US or Australia. It is common for cars to only travel 6000 miles per year and repair costs are much lower due to labour rates.
@@andrewtaylor4558 I've owned two Peugeots (albeit ages ago) before because of the ride and handling are superb. Nothing beats seating while driving a French motorcar.
There are many CKD (complete knock down) models for singapore but assembled in malaysia. Check the specific models across brands and the discount level with trim level in malaysia. Maybe there are deals that can be had.
Protons generally have better handling while peroduas have better fuel mileage. Peroduas also tend to have better resale value due to their association with Toyota. Interior quality is better with proton.
If it is affordable you may buy a Continental car such as BMW, Volvo, Mercedes, VW, Audi etc. They're much comfortable especially on long trips. Unfortunately their maintenance, spares, insurance and road tax are high. Due to their bigger engine capacity, the fuel consumption is also high to the locals even though the fuel price is cheap according to foreigners. Proton has a much better choice in terms of a bigger if not luxurious sedan. Their technology also has improved tremendously since Geely from China have taken over Proton. Perodua on the other hand is famous for producing a smaller city dweller's car or a second car. Both Proton and Perodua is a lot cheaper in terms of spare parts, insurance, fuel consumsion and etc.....tq
Great video, and we love your interview with Earl Gray! We have been traveling around the world for several years and have noticed a lot more electric scooters and motorcycles on the roads recently. Have you seen any in Malaysia? I don't remember seeing any when we were in Malaysia in 2020, but maybe there are some now?
Thank you! A few years ago in Penang, a shop opened up in the mall selling Electric scooters. Sadly it didn’t last long. I wish they had more here if only for the noise pollution! 😊
Hi Taylor. What an interesting video ! My personal choice is definitely PERODUA ! Having owned cars from both companies, PERODUA is great value for money, very reliable , sturdy and stylush !🖒🖒🖒🇲🇾
First, I prefer Proton. I used to own d Proton Iswara, it hardly gave me much problem. Being a lady, wenever I want to choose buying a car, I would choose a brand new one instead of a used car. A brand new one wld b trouble free for d 1st 4 years(meaning no major trouble to cost u high repair bills), and I make sure to send it for regular service at d designated service shop even tho it'll be more expensive. My greatest fear is for d car to breakdown in d middle of a jam!! Cos of dat, 2nd hand cars r not worth d lower price. Esp foreign cars!! Jus sending it for service will cost u thousands of ringgit, not counting d spare parts, which will cost u d earth. On top of dat u'll hav difficulty in finding a reliable workshop to send your car to. Since I'm not a millionaire, I never gav myself aspirations to own a BMW and its ilks.
Hello dear, you are correct to say most bought European brands purely as status symbol. For some, a car is a box on four wheels, it gets them from A to B, there is no need to spend the inheritance on it. 😅
Besides, Proton & Perodua, there are also car assemblers. Proton & Perodua are actually assemblers but elevated to national car because their brands are M'sian. Even BMW and Mercs have many models that are locally assembled - that is the only way to lower the excise duties/tax on cars. Completely built Up (CBU) cost the most because of the heavy tax/duties. So Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Nissan, Renault, etc are mostly locally assembled. The tax/duties make US cars exhorbitant, though some Jeeps were locally assembled at one time. Most Fords are locally assembled as are GM cars from S. Korea branded as Chevrolet. The Mustang is also sold locally. There are the exotic Porsche, Lambo, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati, etc. that are CBU and very expensive. Trucks are another category. Could go on about hating the Automotive policy - govt robbing the people with tax & duties. The national car cos are basically assemblers, nothing is manufactured from scratch. The engines design are Japanese or now from China. Only good at making the badges.
Apart from the actual purchase, maintenance and fuel consumption, Malaysians also take great consideration on the actual function of the motorcar they're buying i.e. daily commuting, balik kampung trip, and of course family size. There are more Perodua than Proton on the road because the first motorcar introduced into Malaysians' legal driving life is the Perodua where all the driving schools in the country are equipped with the brand. Familiarity breeds loyalty. Whereas Proton on the other hand more or less is taken into consideration once the family is starting to grow. This is true with the Saga as it is the cheapest real sedan that will fit a growing family with two kids. Comparatively, the cost of maintenance is more or less the same. As for the actual driving, Proton's philosophy is biased towards handling and feel more than anything else and Perodua is more towards economy. Finally, same like any purchase, you should go to a respective dealership and request for a test drive so that you can make a definite decision. Of course, what has been said is not definitive as requirements are different from one individual to another. Happy hunting, Taylor.
I go for second hand cars. Especially for continental and japanese brand. Like VW, their cars has low cubic capacity for example VW Tiguan they have 1.4cc and its reliable
Proton was malaysian first car, over the years, perodua has becoming popular and having better resell value than proton. So for affordable car is proton, for fast and popular with the younger generation is Perodua
Proton - value for money,comfy and great handling on the road.perodua - low oil cost and great in city but not so comfy in long distant.tht how malaysian will consider to choose their car.as for me..i choose proton.i currently have few models from old to latest proton and it really feels good.i don't really care bout foreign car.
perodua is still toyota/daihatsu then you put perodua logo proton used to be mitsubishi with proton logo but now i think prc car. but in Borneo, there will be more 4WD especially twincab on the road... toyota hilux, ford ranger, nissan navara, isuzu dmax etc
Among me, wife and 5 children with their spouse (one) and hubby (two) we have, a Proton Savvy, 2 Proton Saga Flx, 2 Proton Iriz, 2 Proton Preve turbos, 1 Proton Exora Turbo, 1 Proton X50 standard and 1 Honda City. Cheers
My first Proton was in 1988, a Proton Saga, next a Proton Iswara in 1993, Proton Wira 2001, Proton Waja 2006, Proton Preve Turbo and lastly a Proton Exora Turbo 2018. Never gave me Problems. I want a comfortable car to travel to my work place about 60 km to 40 km one way 5 days a week. Protons has good ride and handling input from Lotus csrs UK. Cheers.
@@madkhaliqfarhan betul. Beli kreta kecil yg mampu dulu lepas habis hutang baru cari yg besar sikit. Anak saya mula dgn saga, jual saga beli preve. Hutang preve dah habis nak upgrade ke X50.
Reminds me of the "man on the street" interviews. Especially enjoyed your last interview. Good topic re cars in Malaysia. Grab and taxies are inexpensive that one does not need a car IMHO.
I just don’t understand why even the locally assembled foreign owned brands have to be so highly taxed compared to the two Ps. I then discovered that in Vietnam ALL cars are highly taxed, thus the millions of scooters and motorbikes.
Nice video mr.taylor, apart from proton and perodua, there are local assembly of foreign brands such as BMW, mini, Mazda cx-5, cx-8, cx-30, Volvo , honda etc....if one wants to buy tax free foreign cars in Malaysia, one could buy light diesel pick up trucks, locally assembled plug in hybrid , and EVs.....and best option for value motoring in Malaysia is to buy used, especially you could consider buying used BMW E60, e90, e46 or e36....admit that these cars are over 10 years old but these cars are fairly reliable and are quite reasonable to maintain, especially if you have your car maintained at a specialist mechanic
@@andrewtaylor4558 yup all EVs sold in Malaysia are tax exempt until 2024, locally assembled plug in hybrids incur very little tax as well, for example a 2022 Volvo S60 t8 inscription top spec car sold in Malaysia, will be a similar to the MSRP price sold in North America...same goes for pickup trucks ...

Proton is more premium than Perodua, I've bought a brand new Proton Satria Neo CPS back in 2011. BUT I had a very bad experience in dealing with their warranty claim and aftersales service. I had to replace my right bulb of my headlights every week because of the wiring issues, and never got the issues solved for 3 years until the warranty ended. I will never buy a proton car or recommend people to buy a brand new proton car ever again. Every car will have flaws, no doubt, but how they sort it out, their aftersales service is very poor. Every warranty claim had to go thru their HQ whether it will be replaced or not. On the other hand, perodua will decide on the warranty in house at their service centers, much quicker and more convenient. I was team Proton, I had enough of their nonsense.
Hi Taylor, nice video. Further to your video, I was hoping you could explain how expats are allowed to drive in Malaysia. Do you need a Malaysian drivers license or can we use an International/our own country's license? Also which side of the road do Malaysians drive-left or right?
You can convert your drivers license from some countries, I did anyway. If you drivers license is in English, you can probably just use that. We drive on the left here but that’s easy to get used to. 😊
Hi Andrew, do you drive your scooter with an US driving license or do you have an malaysian license? I'm moving to KL in March and I want to buy a scooter. Thanks
I have ambition to buy foreign car . But when I see the price I changed mind . I drive proton . After finish loan with the bank. I want to buy Perodua car.
Hi sir, I don't think you are comparing dollar to dollar. Exmp. MYR3K income vs USD3K income. What can u buy with that money in Mal and US. If u compare USD buying power to the rest of Asean off course everything is cheaper. My two cents
I think as you are an average USA man size, i suggest an american car as local and asian cars are not made for american sizes Asian cars are compact sized
Like the interview format. You are a natural. Maybe you can build on this and become a roving reporter? I think Earl Grey just wanted his supper. You only have to look at the safety features and NCap ratings of various manufacturer's models to quickly realise that European and Japanese brand cars are far safer and technologically advanced than Malaysian Proton and Putrid cars. The only reason why taxes are so high on these two Malaysian brands is to make Malaysians buy them as if there were not extortionate taxes on other overseas makes of cars and thus they had a genuine choice, then they would likely buy much better European or Japanese cars. It's just the Malaysian government trying to protect it's own manufacturers which are pretty much state owned. It's far from being a level playing field. What would you rather drive either a nice European or Japanese car or a tin can Proton or Putrid? One good thing in Malaysia is that fuel is extremely cheap, very cheap which is probably not good for the environment as it means there is little incentive to make very economical low emission cars, buses or trucks. Malaysia is even worse than the US for everyone driving everywhere. It is difficult to walk anywhere and frankly unpleasant along narrow or broken up pavements(side walks) jumping over drains or building works. Forget cycling anywhere. It is a nightmare in KL. I have tried. You eventually come up against a major highway that is impossible to cross.
