Renault Fluence - Good or not?

Kia chief designer was the former Audi TT series designer leh, design is there, but the engine is quite bad, hard to overtake....

2.0l engine on an Optima? How to overtake??????

Under powered cars are dangerous on freeways and country roads. A lot of people did not realised that car makers put in underpowered engines for Singapore market.

Korean engines have came a long way, even the Hyundai engines on Singapore taxis are old versions.
Even the 1.8l Nu Hyundai engines are better than my wife's 1.8l Honda Civic.

The other one is Subaru (Su Ba Lu) hokkien translation is Lose only.

Not forgetting 輸輸去。 Not a car you should drive to RWS.

How come the front look like a CIVIC???

Copy lah, what else ? The body looks like a Mondeo too.

One bit of advice. Avoid too rare a model. Your maintenance cost would be high. You would have to wait a long time for parts as they don't carry enough spares here. On the other hand, buying a new model of a main stream car cannot go wrong with the above. Based on your budget, suggest the Hyundai Elantra 1.6L(A) 2012 model. Very striking styling. Being such a new design should be around Japanese standard in engineering but greater value for money.

About 4-5 years ago, OZ car reviewers pity the bloke who had to test drive the Kia cars, these days, the reviewers enjoy test driving KIA cars so much that they do not return the cars on time. 1-2 weeks late!

For Kia, a lot of time spent on getting the suspension right for OZ driving conditions, esp the Sportage.

And Korean cars are no longer cheap! Some models are more expensive than Toyotas!

Eg 1.8l Elantra vs 1.8l Corolla

The problem with Kia n Hyundai is the depreciation for such cars are horrible...worse than toyta

Pls lah, my 1st choice car cant even sian a woman, I need a car to bring my family around, especially my mum, she cant walk long distance.

My budget is 100k, i dun like to buy common cars.... something different is nice, so i looking at other brands like Kia, Renault and Citroen etc etc....

Check out Ford Mondeo if you don't want common Japanese cars that everyone seems to be driving. It's sporty, turbo, dual-clutch (you can switch between automatic & manual mode), and based on Ford EUCD (European D-Class) platform. I don't know if the price is within your budget of 100K but it's worth checking with the dealer.

If I were given a choice between a Toyota Camry and a Ford Mondeo. I'll choose the Ford Mondeo.

Same problem in Australia.
This is especially so since Hyundai enters the corporate fleet market.

It takes time for consumers to adjust.

Meanwhile, it just mean that someone buying a secondhand Hyundai is getting better value than a secondhand Toyota. The Koreans are also offering 5 years warranty.

Drive this lah...and chio Quan Yifeng for a spin !

Anyone remember this car by Concerto by Honda. Kong Si Dio To (Hokkien translation: Share/Combine/Company will Fall)

If copy, a job well done.

Your first car RX7 ?? and your father bought it? Faint! Your father really sayang you.

Not sure is it due to buy already then regret syndrome. For some reason, I keep thinking the Nissan Teana looks better than Camry but have to admit the performance of camry hybrid is impressive. I also plan not to buy any car in the next 3 years.

Kia offering unlimited mileage within 5 years.

AK, think Vios or Altis might be what you are looking at. Sedan car at reasonable price. Look wise a little boring but can add a few accessories (spoiler and sarong) to make it less boring. Can also add a blue LED at the bottom.

I have no idea as I haven't done my research on Skoda.

Not the emotive power.

Why is Proton not on the list?

Mmm... sexy and rugged Proton cars.

Current COE paper price in Singapore can buy 3 Proton SAGA in Malaysia.
