ibook SG Have seem the 1 litre kelisa on the road. Any owner or friends who own this vehicle? Caret o post some comments on it? Maintainence, petrol, any problems..... negative pointers are welcome.
Ah Wei SG The car should be okie for normal usage on the road but not excessive. Not too sure abt the petrol but the maintenance will be cheap cos you can actually go into M'sia for servicing, and that the spare parts there are over flowing. But then, the shape of the car kinda copy Nissan March.
[email protected] SG well….... its basically paying for the cheapest set of wheels around lah… use it simply for transport and dun expect too much then ok loh…
GwenSilvz SG Drove that car for a day in Langkawi... I would say it's not worth the money here with the tax and coe... Anyway, the car didn't have any noticeable problem when cruising at 110kph. It's also powerful enough to 'burn rubber' for a second or two. Not so sure about the price here but i believe it's around 50k...so why not consider Hyundai's car for a small budget? Accent is going for less than 60k.
GwenSilvz SG Yap... considering the low PARF and the brand itself... I bet only a handful of Singaporeans have heard or Perodua... Not only is the resale value poor...the demand for it is not even there...
roger SG despite this, the car should be a reliable one as it is using a japanese daihatsu engine. not sure why many singaporeans shy away from it? could it be because its made in malaysia?
Ah Wei SG Roger, You may be rite. A few reasons: Maybe its made in Malaysia. Maybe becos when you drive into M'sia, you find your car is just like any of them in it. Or even maybe, some feel its not worth paying for a car that's only worth half or even less of the value just across the causeway. Reliability might be another factor.
AE86tofu SG or maybe they are just paying more for a car which is basically the same as a daihatsu…only paying for the brand….just like the proton saga….which is a lancer…
bcyn SG actually u cant really say that. saga is definately very lancer, only thing is m'sia bought e technology frm misubitshi. proton is a national pride.(its actually a national project in malaysia) But perodua is different. it is a direct subsidary (with a little m'sia govt shareholders of coz) of daihatsu (japan) so i reckon QC standard are quite strict by jap's standard. actually dun play play with a kancil(650cc) or kelisa(1000cc) on the roads, they sure can burn tons of rubber. pick up can easily beat a nissan sunny/corolla. maybe coz they are bladdy light and powerful. i used to service my car in m'sia, guess wat, my mechanic told me a fully mod kancil(650cc) can easily beat a fully mod wira(1500cc) in 40 lamp post race. downside is cornering lose to bigger cars.
AE86tofu SG not suprising....I have seen kancils with 18 inch rims with straight thru exhausts...damn loud but are like crawling...my coch's X-trail overtokk them W/O needing 2 floor the thottle
my_name_is_Natasha SG Hi pals, I own a kelisa. Bought last AUG. It's a pretty fun car, very economical. Fuel comsumption average 16+km per litre of shell 98. Top speed on the speedometer is 160km/h and Natasha(Name of my car) managed 130km/h on the highway to Malacca. No prob on that but dun get caught by the TP there. Able to 'cup' the corner along lorong halus up TPE at about 50km/h max according to my lousy skill, got a feeling i'm being thrown out the door or the car gonna somersault... Good servicing.... coz only about 600 perodua on the road..... the mechanics had the time to check everything.... will even wash, polish and vacuum car for you. Value for money....
[email protected] SG Natasha? cute. but i would name a skoda natasha. a kelisa would be named something like suzanna
bcyn SG hmm... so how much did u pay for ur kelisa? and ur mthly installments? hows the boot space/leg room/head room in it like? got more spacious den nissan march anot?
my_name_is_Natasha SG hmm... so how much did u pay for ur kelisa? and ur mthly installments? it cost 55k when i bought it, mthly $555 over 10 years. But it cost 49,900 now so should be paying less if you get it now. Loan from HSBC at interest 2.25%.... quite reasonable. hows the boot space/leg room/head room in it like? got more spacious den nissan march anot? boot space.... you can put 2 small suitcase into the boot with a little space left... there is a latch on the back seat where you can lower the back rest(forward) if you want to carry bigger stuffs. As for leg room, head room.... my bro is 1.78m and had no prob driving Natasha around have not got into a nissan march so cannot really comment on that... but it looks about the same. steering is good too.... manage to make the most impossible U-turns easy to park the car, especially parallel.... However, the car has odd cyclinder(3 cyclinder) instead of the normal even ones.... dunno what's the diff.... but i still see plenty of daihatshu charade arounds.... that means it should be ok right??
my_name_is_Natasha SG ahh... 4get to mentioned not quite suitable for pple with castrophobia a friend got prob adjusting coz Natasha is small to her castrophobic standards
