First car, new Myvi or a second hand continental?

Fresh working, tight budget, and asking about used continental, please, get the Myvi (or Axia/Bezza). Here's the reality nobody young wants to hear: a cheap used BMW/Merc has an expensive-car maintenance bill regardless of the low purchase price. One suspension repair, one gearbox issue, one electrical gremlin, and you're looking at RM3k to RM10k that a fresh grad simply cannot absorb. Parts and specialist labour for continental are multiples of Perodua. Perodua has the cheapest parts, cheapest service, best resale, mechanics on every corner, and sips petrol. Your first car should free you to build savings and your career, not chain you to a workshop and a maxed credit card. Buy the sensible car now, and when your income is solid and you have a real emergency fund, THEN treat yourself to the continental. Delayed gratification wins here.
