$50,000 Budget For Car

last SG · 2006-01-08T10:49:51+00:00

I didn't keep much, or should I said I used most of them before anything happened. Anyway, the logical thing I think is keep about 10k-20k for back-up. Take...

Hmm.. alright. Actually because i personally likes Mitsubishi, but well, test drive will be a good idea, have a hands on feel about it. As regards to Mazda 3, the price is around 60K+ which is out of my budget =/

Hey, I came across 2006 Subaru Impreza Ts sedan at
http://miweb.motorimage.net/SG/showroom/2006_Impreza/

I wonder if it is good. Although it cost alittle bit more..

There is another version of subaru too.. I suppose the previous generation.

Oh no, pls don't get the Subaru Impreza 1.6 TS... Super fuel guzzler with zero performance. The interior looks terrible too. Unless you really like the impreza.. but don't even begin to expect WRX levels of acceleration.

You got to test drive the hyundai verna 1.6.
From my test drive , i feel that it better than the sunny.
these is just my feeling,no offend.

hey guys.. pls continue discussing.. think this thread would also be beneficial to me.. dad buying car in april i think..

sinicker SG

alright, now my dad prefers the mazda 3. i prefer the honda civic. price diff. is really a lot.

get maybe a 3rd year 2nd hand car, drive for 2 years(5 years jus rite for evrything to fall in e right places) den buy a new car la.. by the time, finances shd be quite stable liao oso.. jus my opinion

Passionate-Shalom SG

As for 1st time driver like me, i cant tell from 2nd hand if it’s good or bad.. So perhaps i will stick to New car. Mazda 3 and Honda civic price differ alot? mazda 3 like around… 60k. Honda Civic like has been around for quite long.. i wonder if it is good..

cornyfish2000 SG

The new Civic model is out... anyone test driven it yet? Any comments to share? Razz

It certainly looks big...

Passionate-Shalom SG

Honda civic around 66k right… aiyo outta budget . =/

City? If getting Auto transmission, City is the Best choice ever. Good FC, steermatic, giant boot, other than looks, what more can you ask. Lancer is good, but for manual only, its auto is still ...... Sad

Subaru TS and Vios have small interior, for usual sedan of that CCs. Nissan Latio? Aveo sedan? New Kia Rio, which in my opinion is actually very decent looking now.

Passionate-Shalom SG

Hey thankz for responing here, I am looking forward for a decent interior like Mitsubishi Lancer, but as you stated automatic isnt good for it?

siaokao SG

Yup.. the CVT auto gearboz sux. When you go test drive, just floor the accerator and you'll know what we mean. Mr. Green

heluim SG

i tink get manuel la.. guys should drive manuel mah... haha.. my theory.. especially for youngster or chiongster.. haha
i tink get lancer like more worth it cos lancer OMV is higher then vios but the price of the car is the same so theoritically getting a lancer is more worth it..
but vios is of cos gd.. gd fc gd power.. tts y i am also considering between a vios and a lancer..
but i tink lancer look more zai and more spacious make in japan somemore.. so maybe paying abit more for the petrol is alrite??
another thing i tink lancer looks nicer too.. if put those sticker will make it even more cool.. haha.. if mitsubishi were to use mivec engine in lancer instead of GDI of cos is the best la.. but i tink if in tt case the price also will go up liao.. haha

sinicker SG

if between lancer and vios, i wud take lancer. lancer nice. like the boot area there. Wink

Passionate-Shalom SG

Automatic saves alot energy mah.. haha.. further more i might be driving to Malaysia, long distance.. If manual, reach there.. already.. zzzz

kentheman SG

u can try the chevy aveo. was doing my solar film at one of the workshop and there is this aveo doing his too. talk to him and its FC is quite good. and also, it looks small on the outside, but inside is spacious. worth considering.

siaokao SG

For long distance driving, manual is better. On the highway, you do not need to change gear very often. You just leave it in 5th gear.. and sometimes, you wish you have a 6th gear! Mr. Green

pqr SG

i suggest u rent long term instead of buy bcos in sg,

buy car = rent for 10 years...see http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=168951

must not forget the real cost of the $50k car is not inclusive of the bank interest...

so i estimate the rea $ for the $50k = $60k?

Passionate-Shalom SG

i see.. perhaps that comes to the question of ownership.. suppose your own car is like.. “better”.
