(had the opportunity to ride in one for a week)  In terms of marketability, as you would know, demand for the Oner has been mediocre in this country.  Generally, Malaysians would go for bigger cars for that kind of money but I think the investments in the Oner has gone into the engine (it is a cheaper version of the E90s).  This said, it may be difficult to flog it later when she feels like another car.  Unlike in the UK, it is a popular car as ppl in those markets (including Europe) prefer smaller cars.As for the S40, which is currently doing well, from my various conversations from ppl in the car industry, the maintenance is generally more expensive compared to the beamers. I also noted that the petrol consumption for the oner is efficient. ( RM50 for 3/4 tank - thats good in light of escalating petrol prices)As for the Alfas, I understand from various sources that after services is  not up to mark - probably still reeling from Auto Dunia days.What is her take on the Oner? Would like her feedback - I too am in a fix.</blockquote>
