I read few threads here and now really confused on how to choose them. Basically I am worried on cost of maintenance and failure rate of these models considering their age ie from year 96-97. Which of these two models are known to be more reliable, difference on parts price and fuel economy. I will be using the car only to commute long distances and occasional weekend shopping as my main transport to office is a scooter. Also I need some recommendation of some reliable used car dealer (if they exist <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />) so I can start surveying (also on Mudah, but I need to be extra cautious).These are main points that I need advices on and if I left any important points please highlight it to me <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. Hope to hear from all the sifus here <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Thanks</p></blockquote><p></p>
