Mitsubishi Triton VGT Adventure - 2017
Reasons Triton was selected but not other brands then was due to the following criteria
  • rear seat is most comfortable compared to other pickup
  • Active Stability Control
  • 7 airbag
  • service center was nearby to where I stayed.
Nissan X-trail 2.0/2.5
As my financial capability improved, it was time to consider safety features a bit more with all the travel I have to do frequently. 
  • 2 airbags! 
  • All Wheel Drive + Traction Control  
  • 700mm water wading level. No more worry with sudden flash floods 😛. 
  • Auto retard ignition timing to support RON92 fuel which was cheaper.
    Until the government decided to phase it out.
  • There was a good info from the Australia forum
  • Online workshop manuals was available

Perodua Kenari GX
My parents were skeptical at first when I decided to purchase this. 
Bread car, Roti van, that was what they called it.
This was the car that helped regain control of my expenses in my early working years.
Paid a bit more in deposit in order to keep my monthly repayment low at MYR315.  
Good reliability. 5 years warranty. Affordable maintenance.
