Thanks for the reply. I went to Kah Motors the other day and the attitude of the SE sucks totally. There were saying they got no more stocks and there will be a new facelift (slightly changing the front lights and bumper area) and that will cost $2000 more. When asked if I could see how it looks like, she say she doesn't have any and told me to try the website, i searched the SG, US website and saw nothing.
Furthermore, if I am not wrong, honda cut civic vti's power to 110 hp now which is considerably lower than the previous vti models. That means a probably lower performance + higher insurance. I tried the Mit lancer sports and (in my opinion) torque wasn't there and a lot of wind noise from the interior. Tested corolla and however seems muchhhhhhh quieter and a little bit more torque. Chances is I might go for a corolla 1.5 since they got no more 1.6 but then again they got this new altis coming and I really wonder how it compares to the japan made in terms of quality and features. (and which one to go for heh)
Just my 2 cents
peace and cheers dudes!
City you mean? Accordingly to my friend, City looks like cockroach (no flamming pls cos i didn't say it heh). Vios is overall not a bad choice in terms of power and looks but i feel its a bit too squeezy if u wanna take 4 passenger (back guy not much legroom) Anyway dude, I think they got no more japan made corolla for you. Last I heard they got some 1.5 xli stock left. The rest will be coming in from thailand (1.6 and 1.8 1st week of december or so) and they will be called Altis. The 1.5 will be totally replaced by Vios. Actually the Altis seems nice, anyone getting an Altis?Originally posted by CarDreamer:Hi,
I use to drive honda bike and the service centre sux too.
Image i just want to buy a small plastic for my 1100cc bike. Guess
what, i have to stand there and wait for the guy to check. Can't believe that they need 1 hr to check 1 small little plastic.
Another incident is that i went to the show room to see the bikes and because i wear bermudes and T the sales personne don't even bother to entertaint me but when a guy wear office outfit he immediately went to serve him.. aaaarrrggggg...
I do heard from people that honda service not good. Any honda owner can verify this.
Thinking getting a car, the after sale is also important. I heard from my colleage toyota after sale also not that good..... how true i dunno but was told nissian one not bad.
I am thinking of getting a car too and my mind got either lancer or corolla. Civic too expensive for me, sunny looks i dun like. Lancer after much consideration cos the more i see the car the more it doesn't look nice to me, inside space oso a bit small and the rear brake is drum type. So left corolla, engine vvti, inside space not bad and all 4 brakes are disc type. i think get a 1.5 is enuff, after all the car is for travelling from point A to point B. i also tot of 1000cc car but the power is not there is carry too many passengers.
Have you consider Civic and Vios?

14km per litre sounds quite efficient. is it a manual or auto (vios got manual rite?)?Originally posted by nick34:My brother own a Toyota Vios(A)
Vios = slient , smooth engine , looks good . The boot is damn big i must say for a 1.5l but the rear passanger legroom is just opposite .
Petrol usage is ard 14km per litre of shell98.
So overall i think it's a good car for those light right foot driver![]()

beh liao gai. wat u mean?Originally posted by McKenic:I must say toyota and honda se attitude is very bad. they give me the impression that we dun really interested in selling a 1.5 or 1.6 cars to you. However, I guess if you bring your father along and view a 2.0 car, the attitude will be a 180 change.

wat are the things to look out for when buying a 2nd hand car?Originally posted by johncooper:Hey why not go test drive all shorts of car first before making any payment ... i say buy the 2001 corolla manual is the best ... best also get 1yr old car ...
Think long run,
Civic = own before, starts giving problems with engine after 3 yrs
Lancer = Lan cer (lousy car) Tells it all ... brakes problem then fan belt problem then transmission problem ... etc after 2yr (uncle driving it, the boxy one)
Corolla = Value for money, manual, got power, big space, comfortable, ah pek look (but heck its alright), the only - point is when you start revving the engine high, the next time you see your idle goes high too ...
But in the end ... it is up to you to decide what car you want![]()
well there are many things to look out for .. i can only list some of them ... if i list too many .... basket i am bound to get bashed!Originally posted by wuming78:wat are the things to look out for when buying a 2nd hand car?
