Car Guide

My knowledge for car is pretty pathetic but I'm aware of the basic stuff with coolant level, tire pressure, wiper, windshield fluid and so on. With that being said, I'm looking to buy a new car from Miri, Sarawak. Working in Brunei so need a car to mainly for travelling from Brunei to Miri and back to bn again, usually I will head back to Miri 1 to 3 times a month and occasionally cruising around town or late night drive. What car would you recommend for Sarawak? I was looking at Honda but is it reliable in Sarawak? Toyota, Proton and Perodua is without a doubt the reliable brands in Malaysia. Share your experience or expertise with me, what are the pros and cons. Also how are the EVs doing in Sarawak or specifically Miri?

Side note: not a big fan of bezza and myvi but the rest I'm fine with it.
