LTA report: TOTAL ANNUAL NEW REGISTRATION OF CARS BY MAKE
-
I am looking for below 50k mid-sized sedan, with good fuel comsumption and
annually maintance fee. and these models caught my attention:
Mitsubishi Lancer, toyota vios, nissan sunny, and Chervolet Aveo.
I am quite interested in Chervolet Aveo, the price is lowest, MT only 45900,
the size is bigger than vios, and the new sedan model just launched last month.
But it seems not too many Aveo cars on the road, I think to keep maintanance cost lower, there should be a big pool of users, to support more parts dealers in the market.
I search LTA, and find this report Chervolet market share is quite small.
but it shows Chervolet only enter Singapore market since 2003? is this true?
if so, it looks like Chervolet still done a quite good job in their first 3 years, compare with other make's first 3 years performance, some make, like Subaru, put in millions in the advertising, after so many years, the market share even lower than 3 year's Chervolet, maybe Subaru advertising cost too much, can not reduce the price?
here is the report. TOTAL ANNUAL NEW REGISTRATION OF CARS BY MAKE

In the other hand, the Aveo is about 3000 lower than vios and lancer, will the annual maintance fee gap climbe up to 3K in the next 5 years?
and is there any difference in the annual insurance cost? -
u can judge a car by that diff of few thousands... both misubishi and toyota has gd fuel transmission.. chervolet is cheaper becos.. its fuel transmission are not as good as toyota/ mitsubishi... and it has no power... moreover.. its selling price is cheap too

chervolet claim the Aveo FC is 7L per 100km. (or 14km/L), but don't know is it true, how about vios and lancer? I read some post here said Nissan is a heavy drinker.Originally posted by paperx:u can judge a car by that diff of few thousands... both misubishi and toyota has gd fuel transmission.. chervolet is cheaper becos.. its fuel transmission are not as good as toyota/ mitsubishi... and it has no power... moreover.. its selling price is cheap too
Actually I think the services charge and parts cost is more important?
I don't know, roughly how much does a mid-sized sedan cost in parts replacement
and service charge?
for FC, is every month run 1200KM, then vios maybe can save 12L? roughly S$20, then every year 240, 10 years is 2400, if i sold it 5 years later, then only 1200 different. -
I noticed that Lexus is not in the table.......I think it's still classified under Toyota.As when the 1st Lexus(Luxury Export for the U S) arrived on our shore years ago.
