Coupled with the hundreds, or even thousands of car models available on the market, it\u2019s easy to be overwhelmed by the options you have to go through. To help you find the right car for your needs, we compiled three simple but essential questions you should ask yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. What is Your Budget?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important factor to consider before buying a car is your budget. Key factors to consider when buying a car include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0the price of the car;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0the monthly loan repayment amount; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the ownership cost which includes the fuel, maintenance, insurance, road tax, and even toll costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a general rule of thumb, it\u2019s recommended that you spend no more than 15 percent of your monthly income on your monthly loan repayment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you estimate how much you\u2019ll need to spend on your loan repayment, you can use CARSOME\u2019s Financing Tool. You can find this tool on all of our car product pages. Simply select a car on our website that you like and scroll down the page to use the tool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27921 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/carsome-financing-screenshot.png\" alt=\"CARSOME financing\" width=\"1173\" height=\"486\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example of CARSOME\u2019s financing prediction tool on a car listing<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Do You Want a National or Imported Car Brand?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to deciding between car brands, most Malaysian buyers will consider these three options: local car brands, Asian or Japanese brands, and continental brands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But before deciding on a brand, it\u2019s important to identify your lifestyle, your purpose for owning a car, and how much the car\u2019s brand matters to you. Below is a breakdown of some of the top car brands to help you decide which is right for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malaysian Car Brands<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malaysia\u2019s two national car brands, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/proton\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proton<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/perodua\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perodua<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, have taken the top spot as best-selling cars in the country for good reason &#8211; they are affordable, reliable, and easy to maintain. While local cars have previously been regarded as low quality with limited features, cars such as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/perodua\/myvi\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perodua Myvi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/proton\/x50\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proton X50<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> prove that local carmakers are stepping up their game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current models now have exciting designs, high build quality, and even advanced safety features such as Perodua\u2019s Advanced Safety Assist (A.S.A) suite of safety features.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asian Car Brands<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asian car brands such as Japanese and Korean brands are very common on Malaysian roads as they offer a good balance of affordability and quality. These brands are also known for being market leaders in introducing new vehicle features and technologies to the average consumer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vehicles from brands such as Toyota and Honda are also well known for their reliability and fuel efficiency. Popular Asian car brands include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/toyota\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toyota<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/honda\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honda<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/nissan\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nissan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/hyundai\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hyundai<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continental Car Brands<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These refer to European automotive brands such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/bmw\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BMW<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/volvo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Volvo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some of the best continental car brands come from countries such as Germany, France, and The United Kingdom. While continental car brands are more expensive than others, they also tend to have quality, high-powered engines, luxurious designs, and advanced features.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the larger engines found in many luxury continental cars, they also tend to have higher fuel consumption. Some popular continental car brands include BMW, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/mercedes-benz\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mercedes-Benz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/volkswagen\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Volkswagen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/mini\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mini<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/audi\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/pre-owned-cars-misconceptions\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-owned Cars Misconceptions Busted<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. What Car Body Style Would Fit Your Needs?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One important factor to consider before buying a car is the body type of the car that best fits your needs. The ideal car needs to have enough passenger room and cargo space, and also be able to handle\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sedan<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car?bodyType=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sedan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or saloon is the most traditional type of car. It typically has four doors, seating for five people, and a decently sized boot. These characteristics make the sedan a great all-rounder as it\u2019s able to fit almost anyone\u2019s needs. Sedans also have a lower center of gravity which allows them to be stable on the road, especially when taking corners. Further contributing to the versatility of sedans is their wide range of sizes. From the compact Perodua Bezza to the spacious Honda Accord, you can\u2019t go wrong with a sedan.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hatchback<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A typical <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car?bodyType=2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hatchback<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has similar passenger space as a sedan but with a squared-off rear roof resulting in smaller boot space. A hatchback is great for city and short-distance driving as it has a compact size making it easy to maneuver in traffic and tight spaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being compact and lightweight, hatchbacks also tend to have good fuel economy, which is why cars like the Perodua Axia and Myvi are so popular in Malaysia. Other hatchbacks worth checking out include the Proton Iriz, Suzuki Swift, and Toyota Yaris.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car?bodyType=4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SUVs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have been all the rage in recent years thanks to their spaciousness and higher ground clearance. Many drivers also like the commanding view of the road that comes with the tall ride height of an SUV. However, since many SUVs are heavy and have a higher center of gravity, they tend to have higher fuel consumption and are less stable when taking corners at speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While most modern SUVs are designed for city driving, some, such as the Subaru Forester can handle light off-roading. Popular SUVs include the Honda HR-V, Honda CR-V, and Mazda CX-5.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car?bodyType=3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MPVs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are people carriers and are designed to carry six or more passengers without sacrificing comfort. With their large passenger and cargo space, MPVs are perfect for large families or for families who go on frequent road trips and value their luggage space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could even fit an extra monitor or two in an MPV so your rear passengers can enjoy their favorite shows while on the road. MPVs range from more budget-friendly options like the Proton Exora to luxury vehicles such as the Toyota Alphard.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pickup Truck<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car?bodyType=5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pickup trucks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are the ultimate utility vehicle. They are not only designed to carry large cargo on their open cargo bed but can also handle various terrains including muddy roads and tougher off-road terrains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many pickup trucks have all-wheel or four-wheel drive to make off-road driving easier which is why they are popular with people who frequently travel out of the city. Besides the Toyota Hilux, popular pickup trucks in Malaysia include the Mitsubishi Triton and Nissan Navara.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/types-of-cars-different-car-body-styles-explained\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different Car Body Styles Explained<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find Your Ideal Car Easily with CARSOME\u2019s Car Finder Tool<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By knowing what to consider before buying a car, we hope you can better narrow down your car choices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But to make it easier for you, we have launched CARSOME\u2019s Car Finder Tool on our website, which helps recommend the right cars for you based on your answers to three simple questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27920 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/car-finder-tool.png\" alt=\"CARSOME car finder tool\" width=\"1471\" height=\"761\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CARSOME\u2019s Car Finder Tool on our website &#8211; highlighted in red.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find this tool on our website\u2019s homepage.
