Airwave OR Altis

storm_freaky13 SG

this is where the "Monkey see monkey do" term comes to application. well ask any SE about the buying habits of Singaporeans they will all tell you, "Singaporeans ah buy car just see alot of people buy then they think the car must be good." Well i dunno about the Altis's ride but i see the interior i want to puke. the wood colour looks damn cheapo. Airwave looks so much better.

Perhaps its a good car for its price. maybe. but can the phrase "monkey see monkey do" apply in this circumstance? i'd probably think so.

and no matter how rubbish the car is, it is the driver tt counts..

Altis is good for travelling from point a to point b but for a thai made, it has been overpriced.

Why altis sells like hot cakes? Hmm... may be it's the brand (toyota) that sells.

Another interesting thing to note. Most s'porean when considering buying a car, they'll buy something that the majority buy. It's kind of like "playing safe, sure won't go wrong" mentality.

Also, toyota has been around in s'pore for decades. So it's more like a "trusted brand" now just like our "knife" cooking oil.

WISH no good? altis worst. weight the altis it more heavy then a WISH. FC full tank for wish is about 15km/l easliy altis try matching it. G9 maybe yes altis forget it, almost the same as a sunny.

WISH for one thing it big and spacious power to ratio is there FC is good. con is parking abit harder at first. that why reverse sensor are invented.

get your info right man.

airwave will win altis all time round. any round u match airwave will be winner other then the PI and authorise dealer part.

but if u have any friends with workshop to recommand why care about it. just go for wat your pocket allow and your likes.

back to the PI part.

Different PI bring in diff sub-cat of airwave. some got this but dont have that which make the different in the OMV which in turn affect the pricing. so do ask them about the OMV of the car. and wat are the things inside compare apple and apple orange with orange not anyhow compare.

Car nowdays is for comfort no longer for power, that why with CVT as long as u take care of the gear box do the regular ATF change dont keep shifting the gear stick when a few mins wait at traffic light, put to P or N when waiting for more then 5mins then it wont give u much of a problem. the rubber band effect is for those who drive manual for quite sometimes then KBKP cos manual got the quick pull CVT dont. it slowly cruise up to speed but when needed it will still be quick just floor.

due to human nature pple always think flooring will cause higher FC. but once in while isit going to cause a hand or leG? they pay so much for a car but that little more for petrol u kbkp like a auntie at market. take taxi better will be cheap.

CVT in airwave is much much more advance already as compare to the first gen of civic. get a test drive on the same road if can see the different of both car drive the normal way u always do rather then dragging the gear and trying to overtake like F1 driver.
