Latio has good FC. Nissan cars FC is not sucks Latio FC can fight with Vios/Altis loh. Its FC is similar to Vios and some even better than Altis. "FC sucks...

Hi, was thinking of getting an OPC latio, anyone has any 2 cents worth on how this car is (in terms of safety and reliability, my 2 main concerns)?

At $38k, seems like a good buy, with $500 more for leather seats and sports rims. If comments are fine, i think i will book this weekend.

But I dun seems to see many latios on the road, any idea why?

Thanks a lot! Wink

Heard from friends that the new sunny (don't know they will still name it as sunny) will be out soon and Latio is launched "in-between" this period.

That's called SENTRA

Only SG still has the SUNNY version. Malaysia and US for instance already calls it SENTRA

Latio is not really a in between. Cos not every country like Malaysia has the Latio model

incredibleduck SG

New sunny sounds good, but hey, wat abt my latio? anyone got any comments on latio?

JeremyRyan SG

what i heard from many drivers out there, latio in hokkien is like lao jio, (urine) no offense, heard from my lecturer, its a drinker & not much power in it. but stylish i have to say, the black lation with the kit. just my 2 cents.

sbst275 SG

Not really

Latio does not allow fast startup, but it is much smoother...

Drinker? Sunny even worst

why don't u test drive it and see it for yourself instead of asking in here for views? different people offers different views. ultimately it is your view on the car that matters bcos u r going to drive that car everyday, sit in it everyday, see it everyday, wash it once every few days, service it once its not in pristine condition etc.

anyway, i don't really like nissan cars. FC sucks. but one gd thing i can comment on is that Latio has some pretty nice interior (the highest end model). but this feels like too uncle car for me. if u wanna get, get the hatch?

sbst275 SG

Nissan these days looks very into the design of cars unlike other rivals such as Toyota. Hence, Nissan cars do have xtra edge in terms of design

incredibleduck SG

Yah, i will be test driving, but i'm just wanna see if there is something else that ppl know abt the car (from owning and driving it everyday), that i wont be able to find out just from test driving it once.

FC i tot shld be ok, abt 13-14, according to mycarforum.com...

why i chose it was because it seems to offer such good interior, okay FC and spacious car for such reasonable price (56k for sedan, pearl white please!). sorry i like the sedan, prefer cars with butt... haha

thanks for all comments, definitely useful and will be taken into consideration.... Very Happy

sinicker SG

latio hatchback looks nicer than latio sedan. Very Happy

IsIsTRD SG

Why not go for the FD Honda Civic 1.8 VTIS at $74K if budget is not concern.
Confused

tiggersgd SG

Very Happy okie dokie butt lover Razz

remember to lup bodykit Laughing (if u are into it)

white interior is nice but kinda difficult to maintain? so what color will u be getting? white exterior too? maybe red ext. with white int. is nice? happy shopping n remember to grab lots from the SE too. Cool

incredibleduck SG

I meant pearl white color, with beige interior. seems like no poor comments abt the latio so far, beside dat it looks ugly to some. and i tink it's hard to grab stuff from SEs if buying OPC. what is the usual goodies? Smile

mr sunray SG

By the way, not all nissan cars are FC sucks. A very bias statement.

Uncle or ah pek, it's quite subjective and personal.

In my opinion, altis has an even more uncle or ah pek look.

mr sunray SG

Is 13.3km/l consider a "drinker" for sunny (auto)?

Do not be misled by others in saying that sunny is a "drinker".

ceecookie SG

new Sentra look so crammed together

incredibleduck SG

By the way, i was reading those old posts on Latio, how come it is 70+k a yr ago and now the price drop so much (only 50+k)?? Question

Ponders SG

I thought the new one will be call SELPHY or something like that?

SENTRA is just the alternative name to Sunny. since Sunny is not appropriate in malaysia and sounds too gay in north america. haha

Anyway, Latio is a good car. i like it.

sbst275 SG

All to do with the COE

cornyfish2000 SG

I think there are not many Latios on the road because many people do not like its looks... and more importantly, its price (compared to 1.6L cars like Sunny, Lancer, Altis etc). Laughing
