picanto on the above 3 .. i booked another From a friend who drove picanto .. he says the car have to drop gear when going up benjamin sheares ... dont k...

The above 3 compact cars are in the same category. Anyone has any comments?

Personally I have test driven the Picanto and Kelisa, prefer Kelisa after testing. Picanto looks better but feels very flimsy to me. No offence to Picanto owners, just personal preference.

Anyone test-driven the QQ? Heard the fittings look very cheapo but then again, it's a cheap car, cannot expect too much. Kelisa's fittings also look very plastic too Mr. Green QQ has a lot of colours I think and powered windows for all doors, seems a bargain.

Any QQ testers out there??? Care to share? Wink

Never tested any of those, so I'm shooting blind here....

I often choose my cars on how many there are on the road (it kinda shows that its liked for some reason - including reasons of reliability).

So among the 3, I would go for the Kia.

"Buying a Chery QQ makes little sense or no sense at all"

As quoted by a local car magazine Editor. Rolling Eyes

my hse has a chery QQ.... Mr. Green

actually quite ok la.. but dun expect much from the engine.. the car tend to "vibrate" a bit when u drive too fast.. (and the agent told me one of their features was their vibrate was minimal as they add something-duno what's called-- to the engine Rolling Eyes ).... she also told me small cars tend to vibrate a lot coz of the engine...

but still can hit 100km/h.. but still quite early to say, the car is less than 2 weeks old.. our car is orange de, very cute actually Laughing

aircon wise quite good.. they pair up w sony sound system, so ok too..

what else u wan to know?

my advise is, dun buy a QQ unless u jus want the cute appearance =p

ceecookie SG

cherry QQ...

better fit armor onto ur leg in case of *ahem* Laughing

AE86tofu SG

not true....cars tt usually vibrate...(esp those cheap ones) is cos their chassis has NO rigidity whatsoever...so when u crash...u die.... Laughing

and not dun buy a QQ just u want rhe cute exp but if u want a quick 1 way ticket 2 eternity.... no offense bro i am just shocked that u really bought such a car just for the looks!!! Confused

i not a expert in this

i am looking into picanto now..

but to really buy it, i think a good 1 or 2 years...

AE86tofu SG

you nv test drive all cars 1st before u buy ? only decide the car tat u see more on the road Rolling Eyes Mr. Green

niwde1980 SG

it normal for a 3 cylinder engine to vibrate Mr. Green but vs can help abit Very Happy

sinicker SG

my block of flats.. got this woman drive kelisa.. wah she parking so easy.

true|y03 SG

ha no i buy one la.. my family member

and iz really v cute =p

but seriously, iz not as bad as it sounds.. if u jus wan a weekend car, QQ do just fine =)

true|y03 SG

4 including driver...

but smaller cars are harder to control.. my experience.. i drove b4 nissan sunny, vios and QQ.. QQ definitely not easy to drive.. Neutral

AE86tofu SG

but think abt wad u are paying for bro...a few mroe K and u'd get 2 airbags, ABS and a peace of mind....yes i know its cheap but IMHO i wouldnt wanna buy a car which i know i am gonna die if i have a crash and even u may think that "i drive carefully nothing happen" but accidents DO happen not becoz of u but cos of other rd users and i do want 2 walk away unscathed and spending not much $$ on repairs rather than landing in a hosp. and writing off the car...agreed?

true|y03 SG

actually i agree w u, for me i would rather buy a Picanto.. but my sis like the appearance of QQ too much Rolling Eyes

think coz of the QQ car agent also, she's very good at convincing ppl..

imagine nissan march so small car can put 6 airbags,wonder why QQ cant at least put 2 airbags in.. Neutral

aiya, take mrt faster, and safest la Mr. Green

Just heard someone who had a friend from China was saying QQ car is a buy and scrap car.
