Manual Car To Recommend, Which Make

[kobayashiGT]

Mercedes-Benz Citan

 

Look like a Polished Renault Kangoo to me. . . . hahaha.

 

but it sure makes you feel good when u have a car key that badge Mercedes. haahahha

my friend got a 7 year old R32 manual for $20k... He enjoying every minute of it.. In Australia.. In SG, 20k can't even buy my 6.5year old Laupok car

 

Ask your friend to buy a bowl of noodles there for AUD$2.70(S$3.00).

The 2015 CTR is also 2 doors, probably another harsh ride, does it really solve your problem

 

The new Type R is gonna be a 4-door.

Wah boss, at around end of last year reading that you were getting hitched. Now baby Brush coming liao ah!? Gong xi wor!

 

For your case, would getting a 2nd car that is family friendly be an option? One that the wife can drive to work etc, and keep your FN for your daily commute.

 

Fast hand fast leg ma lol ... aiming for a SG50 baby, still long way la, just pass 1st trimester only.

Wifey works in town, no point getting second car as my new house is 10 mins away from Novena MRT stn. I'm just starting to plan, no hurry selling but good to start exploring options early.

 

Unless COE price comes down drastically, the new R would be the best option I have so far. Either get another 4-door to tong till 2015ish when it launches, or dun change at all till then.

 

my friend say his Euro R FC at 13+km per liter and he usually 3/4000 rpm especially pick up

my friend say his Euro R FC at 13+km per liter and he usually 3/4000 rpm especially pick up... I find it super unbelievable but he doesnt have to bluff me.

 

Tough, unless totally stock and mostly highway driving, plus gentle foot - that defeats the purpose of a R then....

 

If stuck in traffic jams, plus occasional whacking ( I repeat, occasional, 30% or less), will get about 8.5 to 9.5 ~ that's for my case FN2, CL7R sld be about the same I guess

My ex. CL7R hks legal tune with fcon - 10.5

My current FD2R mugen legal tune with hondata - 9.5

 

 

Niceee.. Hopefully KAH Motors will not be mad enough to price tag it like the new WRX.

[Magfocus]

I hope everyone will come full circle and be back to manual cars again :) Nothing beats the control of a manual gearshift.

[Kangadrool]

I wish it will happen though I know it's impossible.

Budget about 200K for this bro. IF COE comes down hopefully, you have about 20-30K for Mods....

 

It should fall within the same price range of STI, maybe 10K lesser hopefully.

Couldn't agree more, but to me it is the driving engagement which put a smile on my face everytime I shift the gear. I don't really care about speed or control I am not a racer and I shift very slowly but the feeling of doing the clutching/rev-matching/shifting work yourself is priceless.

This sticker is something that might amuse you then. A few of my kakis paste them on their rides.

if you are looking at accord euro r, might wan try look at Mazda 6 MPS too if you wan something unique

 

few years ago AD still got bring in

MPS and Euro R, I think I will take Euro R.

Coming from a Ex-MPS owner & person who like rare cars.

 

Reason being, MPS is far too heavy, hard to handle comparing with the lighter Eur R.

And parts, impossible to find at times.

How about gear knob that cost $800 for a start.

I search for my replacement for months before getting a used one for $120.

I think too many lazy people in this world, so it is a difficult scenario to imagine.

 

However, never say never.

IMHO, if can use the FN till then, its the most ideal. If bo bian, random "good at holding value" 4 door till new CTR comes perhaps

Fiat Bravo. No other manual car in this price range will give you better power and comfort. Give it a go!

Ask your friend to buy a bowl of noodles there for AUD$2.70(S$3.00).

then he ask me to buy a freehold landed house for 200k, and I ask him to take bus for $0.75... The debate never end lah.. different country different life..
