FM5088A SG

I thinking of getting a new car and i had a few in mind. Toyota Vios, Hyundai Matrix,Hyundai Accent,Kia Picanto and Kelisa… Among these few models, can anyone give mi info of the differences btw them and which is more worth of the price and is better? Then if i am going to down $10K, how much will the instalment be per month and for how long? thanks for the help~~

Hi, my opinion of the models youve listed on the score of 1-4 (worst-best):

Model---Space-Power-FC-Brand-Technology-Svc Cost-Price-Score
Vios--------3--------4------3-------4-----------4-----------1----------1--------20
Matrix-----4--------3-------1------2-----------2-----------2----------2--------16
Accent----3--------2------2-------2-----------2-----------3----------3--------17
Picanto---2--------1------4-------2-----------2-----------4----------3--------18
Kelisa-----1--------1------4-------1-----------2-----------4----------4--------17

Choose the Vios! But be aware also that the other models are not of the same capacity except the Accent. Cool

For power, I think we need one who drive all 5 of them before.
Cause I think kelisa is stronger than Picanto.
Picanto is cheaper than Kelisa too.
And what is SVC?

Sorry, I only know about small/cheap cars. By the way, why never include Getz?

Svc short for service, sorry that wasn't clear enough. Good that u can give better advice for small cars... I've seen more Picanto than Kelisa, so got impression it's more popular. Picanto is 1.1L while Kelisa is 1L... Yes, I agree that Getz should also be included... maybe the Proton also?

So how you rate for service? 1=?, 4=?

Proton, Gen2 seems like a nice car. But unless you really like the interior design, I guess no point risking. In general, Japs car is the savest. Or get those that is still in popular demand even after it has been introduce for a long time. That will rule "Matrix" out.

It's servicing cost, sorry if it's not clear enough... 1 is most expensive, 4 is least costly... toyota is known for their high servicing cost... Vios servicing at 10,000km will cost about $140 liao... for Hyundai cars I think less than $100, not sure about Kia and Kelissa, but I guess would be lower...
