  hi guy, can give mi some advise.. mi just went to look at altis and Ford lazer.
  As u all know, Altis(62k) is from Thailand. while the sales guy at Ford tells mi that lazer(60k) is fully from Japan...
  Some things i feel : Altis is more spacious and looks more elagent(like mini
  lexus). BUt is it true after some time, Altis will be very
  noisy???
  : Ford Lazer another ordinary jap car's look..But the things
  more or less enginnerred by germans, which is a plus..
  too bad Focus is too ex man.. almost 76k
  
  Ayone knows the FC for both? Or should i consider other cars?mi like Subaru cos the look and handling.. hehhe my buget is ard 60k.. shuold i get cars from those main dealers or shuold i go to parrellel dealers? i think it's better to get a new car right guys?
  
  pls give mi more options and advise guy.. tks

  humm.. but that doesn't really affect anything does it?? anyway, if the lazer is from phillipines, why did the sale says it's from jap?.. Den the altis., after reading the thread of altis owner, it seems like that is a problem car.. den the BM sales are like so firm, as in not to give freebies.. that's a bit sad..

  Around your budget,should get Altis,sunny or suzuki swift.All around 60k+++. U might not want to consider impreza TS, did test drive it before,truly underpowered. From brochure i know,as written was 95bhp,i was prepared to drive in a underpowered car. WRX is good,but over ur budget.

  Sorry for my ignorance...but if u are looking for a Ford Laser, is the TX3 available here?....its pretty old..the last one was built in 93..I think but its a great car to drive ..I'm think there are 1.6 T with full time 4WD function.
  ERr....can that be found in SG? so far have not seen any.

  I have test drive Ford Laser 2 months ago, the Sales told me is from Philippines leh. Ford Laser design don't look "new". Only Focus is newly designed.
