13177 Supersonic October 1, 2010 Share October 1, 2010 surprised got ppl buy avante now when the new one is coming soon. they will prob have discount for the old (current) model and u also have option to buy the new one (if the price is not too much higher). Still dun know the exact date of the new avante launching here lah. And it is better to buy the current avante than the new avante, cos current model shld be free of problem. Whereas new model usually there will be problems lah. Also the new avante shld be quite ex! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caddilac Neutral Newbie October 3, 2010 Share October 3, 2010 Current avante selling at 78K Top up few K can have better choice. Hope the New Avante will remain at the same price then it will be the better choice without having to top up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiwgao 3rd Gear October 3, 2010 Share October 3, 2010 Hope the New Avante will remain at the same price then it will be the better choice without having to top up i went to komoco sometime in june when got a bit of news about new avante coming out. I asked the salesgirl there, she said new avante will be more ex than current one. it's going to be like how the i45 is a lot more ex (comparable to current jap car pricing) because of the 6 speed engine and other stuff. i would say u should probably expect the price to be about a honda civic now? prob $80k for the basic model.

Honda civic is selling at $123800 now... no way the new avante would be priced that high... maybe u looking at the price of altis, mazda 3 etc...

Kenron Neutral Newbie January 9, 2011 Share January 9, 2011 How's the performance of avante FM radio reception? good? The external antenna is fixed one or can be auto-extend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackyv Turbocharged January 9, 2011 Share January 9, 2011 first time i heard people asking for the radio recept...., seriously, in a small island like singapore, how bad can the recept be?... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLZT 6th Gear January 9, 2011 Share January 9, 2011 I think its fixed one. Must pull out yourself. I drove avante for 1 year plus trying to find out if got switch or not. Though I use USB listen to my songs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenron Neutral Newbie January 9, 2011 Share January 9, 2011 Hey bro...thanks for sharing. I saw some car owners install the BOSCH reception inside their cars (stick on the windscreen), that's why wonder what's that for..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schell31 1st Gear January 9, 2011 Share January 9, 2011 I sold my avante a couple of months back. No doubt it's a good car but i find the brakes are weak. I was in a taxi when the driver could not stop the sonata even though he had stepped on the brakes fully at less than 60 km/h. Thank god it didnt happen to me.

MAjority of taxi drivers dun maintain their taxis, last nov, i took one (toyota made) along YCK road, taxi uncle unable to brake in time and eventually stop in the middle of the junction. your perception of korean car has weaker brakes is wrong. I drove my SIL avante, the brake is excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove my SIL avante, the brake is excellent. I agree totally. I wonder why people will say that Avante brakes are weak. I once drove a car with disc-drum setup, no ABS, no what ever electronic brake distribution, the braking power solely depends on one leg muscle and brake pads, those are what I call lack of braking power. Modern car these days if use on normal roads are never weak, in fact, I appreciate Avante's brake very much because it brakes effortlessly and thanks to ABS, the brakes are so much safer. It is the way the driver drive the car and judge the distance that is giving the problem, not the car.

13177 Supersonic January 10, 2011 Share January 10, 2011 Correct lo, poor maintenance of brake and brake pads, the car confirm wld not stop well. Nothing to do with which make/model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not pay for servicing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not pay for servicing they do pay for the servicing, in a way, the loss of income for that duration in servicing.. might be a few tenth or twenty dollars but able to let them pump their petrol for their shift. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
