Xtremee Neutral Newbie March 20, 2012 Author Share March 20, 2012 Ok due to strong recommendation i went to take a look at the Korean Brand Cars. Huandai Elentra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 YAH!! cars really expensive. Remember one point of time when COE was really low i could even buy a Mitsubitshi lancer for 50k or less. Cannot compared back then, dont think the car price will go back 2009 and before. Imagine during that time, all those mid range 1.6L car all priced below 55K. But now the exactly same car cost 90-100K! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 (edited) The last time i was looking for a car can get brand new stream at 80k. lol. Correct, you pay a bit more even can get a CRV SUV! Edited March 20, 2012 by 13177 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 Actually you cant really say that. Ultimately, you will be driving it for a long time, given the COE climate now. You would want something that looks decent for around the same price. But again, the subjective debate on looks can go on and on. Just like I think the Juke is ugly, people can argue that its still way better than my 2006 lancer. So depending on how you see it, if you like it and it serves the purpose of getting one, go for it. On paper its 14.9km/l for elantra and 14.5km/l. I think its more or less the same. But i will definitely go for the Elantra. Was there at the Hyundai roadshow at Vivo and I must say, Korean cars really woos me. I think it depends, even given the current COE climate, there are still people out there continue to buy 100K car or change their current car. Looks like many people recommended elantra, wondering this car really that good or not? How come nobody compared with the 6-speed forte? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtremee Neutral Newbie March 20, 2012 Author Share March 20, 2012 (edited) Elentra VS Almera After looking at the specs and reviews from Here Elentra Almera I was pleasantly surprised. With the same price i can actually get a car which is superior is most aspects. According to the specs Engine more powerful Larger fuel tank (No need keep looking for Petrol station) Larger Exterior (Looks more expensive ) Hmmm but considering branding is really important. E.G Although every one knows that LV bags are seriously overpriced for the materials used many are still willing to pay thousands of dollars for it. BUT nonetheless i will still go down and test drive both the cars. Will give you my reviews soon on it ok?

Xtremee Neutral Newbie March 20, 2012 Author Share March 20, 2012 Anyway. Please continue to post your recommendation. Will like to view a wider range before deciding, since cars are such an expensive investment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin03 4th Gear March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 (edited) Ya , my cheapest buy is an auto 1.6 sunny at only 47k - those were the days. Cannot buy even a piece of COE now. Edited March 20, 2012 by Colin03 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepe Clutched March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 Just one look at the specs and I have written it off immediately. I mean, a 4-speed auto gear box in 2012? The Fortes and Cruzes definitely have more value for money, not to mention, IMHO, they look better too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhtfhwlego Supercharged March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 so make the best of it. spending 1k+ per mth on a car make sure you know what you are getting. Some people die die wan brand new.
