  I never driven one before but i've sat in one before. Dunno leh, its quite quiet and smooth but i don't think you should floor it too much. Doesn't feel that theres enough grip. but this is just my prsonal opinion... Perhaps the driver was going quite slow.

  im driving one...juz got my car not long ago..its a great car interior wise...exterior civic , lancer ex and mazda3 still better looking..
  performance wise its good...FC before run in was 13.5km/litre...after run in 14km/litre..im a soft footer . after syn oil change...i believe can get 16k/litre
  
  its a good buy
  unless...
  1. civic 1.6 - drag vehicle..dont bother get 1.6...get 1.8 vtec and u got the best performer but the price is steep
  2. lancer ex - 1.5 ver is a drag...its damn heavy car on a weak engine..the jaws looks is fierce and interior is sleek...but the air con knobs are outdated..when u sit inside ..u got a feeling the new design was not redone totally but an rehash of the old lancer..go for the GT version...1.5 sux at FC
  3.mazda3 - show pony...looks nice but..heh...imagine 2litre car runnin on 1.6 engine..
  4.vios- new vios got poorer FC..no longer as good as old vios..
  
  overall latio is an not bad car...wif no bad fc and great features ..btw i saw Latio was the hottest selling car in 2007 as of now from somewhere

  Forgot to say. I think the between hatchback and sedan is like heaven and hell. The hatchback looks great and cool but the sedan, looks just awkward lah. Quite ugly in fact. But thats just my personal opinion. Of course, if price is a factor, you probably would want to get a sedan.

  ya i quite agree the hatchback look more sporty but the diff is about 5-7k btw the hatch n sedan difference is jus the rear end ryt i dont tink theres any additional boot space...

  hi there,
  
  I have driven Lation sedan before, its a great car... I got the premiumpackage which comes with alcantera leather which is comfortable for long journey.
  
  Interior wise is very good, and very quiet even at high spend(about 120kmp). Nothing about exterior though. Fuel comsumption is about $65.00 (shell 95) for a full tank of 30L, which can go for about 470-510km.
  
  The acceleration is normal, and don't expect the pick up to be like a sport car.
  
  I think it's value for money considering the interior and comfort level it can buy you with that kind of price tag.
  
  Cheers

  Quite interested in latio sport too...
  
  How much is the car? Seems like the price from Nissan website not accurate.

  I guess is the China car design copy that makes the Latio looks abit like China cars.

  I was viewing Lancer EX, Vios, Civic but just dunno why I got myself a Latio.
  
  Well guess I was quite impressed by their technology. A budget car having technology of a luxious car make.
