the sensible way to measure costs is to measure "value for
money".
i am no economy expert but buying a car in singapore does not make
economy sense at all in the first place. and if our perceived
"values" are what most typical sporeans' values are, ie, big space,
fierce look, racing engine all for low costs, then the more
choosing the Marches is not being sensible.
if you can overcome the above, for the price of the marches, you
are rewarded abundantly in the "values" some of us here deemed more
important than the above mentioned. such as the super "cute" look
you were after, the head turning and limelighted experience, the
feel good factor, the award winning design, driving zippiness,
reasonable fuel consumption, many bells and whistles, the wonderful
marchies community (some of us call this cult group) behind you etc
etc... some of these you cannot even experience thru owning many
more expensive or bigger cars which in my opinion, are
souless.
the marches have been on the road for a few years now, i would like
to advise potential buyers to check out other makes and newer
models that are available today. only you can convince yourself
that the march is right for you.
for me i took months researching and yet feelings overcame my
logic, the power at the dark side was too strong to
resist......(just kidding you)....
anyway, i took months researching and found out that the nissan
march kicks asses within the super minis class, hands down.
lemme know if you wanna know more or test drive, i (and the
marchies here) will be happy to help.
