any opinions?

snuffy SG

sry for the double post.. Sad my ie crash so i tot not posted then post again

Ah Wei SG

Ermm........ dun think you can get the vios turbo. Its not on sales in S'pore.

However if you are talking abt the Civic and the normal Vios, they are consider a grade different. I would say go for the Civic. Smile

so_nice SG

yeah. its a different kind of performance at the difference of almost S$12k! u gotta think which is really for u & wats ur budget.

snuffy SG

is the jazz good? seems kinda cool. but its almost the same price as the altis.
heard it lacks power though

BrUtUs SG

i rather put the $$$ on altis

ceecookie SG

actually u can buy the Colt Plus Turbo instead of the Vios Turbo…..

TwinTurbo_Supra SG

save maintenence cost n get a civic instead....

ceecookie SG

hmm the Civic SiR might be good if u modd it liao....and i mean engine mods.....

must lack of turbo means not very good compared to Colt turbo.....(unless u buy one and put in civic..)

nissan sunny cheap but my fren has one n its super oil eater.
my sis has a mitsubishi already so im down to either the altis jazz vios or maybe i hope the civic.. zzzz coe went up yesterday zzz

ceecookie SG

actually there's still the YRV Turbo.....1.3 liter Turbo....a cheaper alternative to the civic and colt turbos.....

TwinTurbo_Supra SG

the turbo will destroy it's FC...

Dracoblu SG

MMm .. heard turbo is a bit difficult to take car....

if concern is for easy maintenance and such ...

Go for non-turbo ...

Moreover ... turbo eats up oil too ....

For your budget .... I will aim for two model, Lancer or Altris ...

But up a little more say ... I go for Latio Premium or Sport

Very Happy

LazerLordz SG

Go for a second hand VW Golf GTi.2.0L and it has a turbo too. Very Happy

ceecookie SG

but no turbo means less power…unless u buy those american muslce then can…..

TwinTurbo_Supra SG

looking at his budget, i dun think he can tahan a turbo car...

Dracoblu SG

I think so too ....

The buying still ok .. but for the maintenance .. ...

so_nice SG

wat abt an ignis sports? i think i would be great..decent performance at afforable price..abit cramp though. but if u arent driving ur family often, i think it would be an great car. Wink

Dracoblu SG

Might as well wait for Suzuki Swift Turbo GTi version …
