Hi there people, Lookin for a Hatchback/Kei car for my sister . Reqmnts are : Automatic transmission + good interior + availability of spare-parts, budget max: 1.4 -1.5 million we went through and checked plenty of Nissan march k11's Suzuki Alto's (Japan) , and Kelissa's and starlets (most of them 1997 model so it didnt meet the req, ) , and Vivas (over budget: all with Auto trans cost more than 1.7 mill) however most of them when inspecting - have been poorly maintained, interiors were in reallly bad state and some had a list of many owners (worried abt the resale aspect here) we inspected a Perodua Kelisa[2005] and a Subaru R2[2004] recently, and both of them were in really good condition - now the problem is out of these cars which would be the better buy ? Major concern is spare part availability as both these cars are well over 7 years old. agreed the R2 is rare but are spares avail for Kelisa as well? ( Mind you i DID use the search in this site, - nothing about spares etc) I feel that the R2 being Subaru has better build quality than the perodua. anyways overall which would be the better buy out of these ?
