Worst IMO is Siglap Centre.

 

I don't know which is the best but I like the view at Vivo City.

i think parkway... cos i use to work there...

the carpark is all two way for both side... and when turning up or down... some car just drive too fast... then bang!

 

if full house still ok... cos everyone will go slow... but if is clear... when come to turning best go slow on the turn... u dunno when other will come down/go up fast then bang... had see a few crash when i work there around 10am or 3pm...

Best and worst in terms of what?

 

If carpark, old Sembawang Shopping Centre is the worst (now renovate not so bad, but always no lot). Northpoint and Causeway Point also not that good (why must put lots on slope?!)

 

Vivo's carpark is nice and big.

 

Other 'dishonourable' mentions:

Plaza Singapura. Really stupid one-way system. Once you enter a deck to check for carpark you cannot go up anymore. Only can go down and go out.

Central (Clarke Quay). Carpark itself is okay, but has a ridiculous five storey ramp upwards.

 

I like IMM, because first 3 hours free. [:p]

If we are talking about the worst caparks in shopping centres, then Liang Court's carpark deserves a mention... The spiral ramp up about 3 - 4 storeys to get to the carparking level should not be attempted by the faint-hearted nor a P-plater without supervision...

talking about spiral ramp, the one at Orchard Central is worse I think. its 5 storeys to get to carparking level and because the car park is designed in such a way that there are quite few lots per level, most of the time you need to drive a further 2-3 storeys before you can get to park..tat's altogether a total of around 7-8 storeys to go.

agree on central

 

the wall all look the same when going up/down, make one very giddy

 

i quite like IMM but i dun really like to go during weekend evening. Really hve to try luck even though not full. End up some cars also anyhow park. I think as compared to the previous carpark arrangement, improve alot liao. Last time jam from 6th floor when all go bac at night.

 

i dun like lots on slope too...especially 2 way traffic..want to stop and wait also difficult.

 

Usually my style is just hoot all the way to the top few floors lah.

Am staying at EAST side. Ikea & Giant Tampines got the most parking, and is totally FREE !! While Tampines One always seem to have a long que of cars waiting to turn in to the carpark.

 

Since this is a car forum, believes most of us are talking about best and worst, relating to Cars also, right? Thus the discussion of carpark? <_<

Liang court or Central still quite ok to me.

 

Go try Novena Square 2. At least 7 storey of spiral ramp. It's just seem like a never ending upwards.

 

But I find it fun

 

The worst car park...and really hate it is parkway parade. What a stupid design. When some car turn out or do parking, the entire lane is block forming a long queue behind. Then some idiot also block the entire lane because he wants to wait for a lot.

True True, now the shopping center with 5 storey left a few shops still operating.

Use to go there very often in the 80s.

I made a terrible mistake when I started this thread. I wanted to ask which shopping centre offered the best / worst shopping experience. Then when the conversation veered towards carparks, I realized this is MCF not cozy cot.

 

Right now, anything goes. You can talk about best carparks, best shooping experience, or even best shopping centre toilet ......
