Speedy2 1st Gear May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 Hi TS, in my opinion, the Hyundai Elantra appears to be good value. However, i havent test driven the car. Just based on my desktop research on specs vs prices. Currently, i have a Hyundai Tucson, 2006. Most likely will renew COE. Japanese cars tend to have better resale value, simply because more people will buy it in resale, with less worry. Newer Korean cars have improved by leaps and bounds through the years. Used to drive an 2004 Kia Carens, which would rattle a little somewhere all the time. No major faults, just the interior plastics. Almost drove me crazy.. Compared to Japanese cars i had before, the Korean cars tend to have a little more vibration transmitted to cabin after few years. I have to replace the engine and gearbox mounts, when that happens. I believe the newer cars should be much better now. Maintenance for Korean cars are generally similar to Jap. Parts are actually cheaper, if you buy them yourself, vs Jap. Hence, my opinion is Korean cars are having good reliability. YOU need to like the car. Everything else doesnt matter as much! :) 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendstar Supercharged May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 Talking about value, I would choose attrage. Then k3. But k3 is really heavy. Elantra basic model looks like slum The worst value to me? Almera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 below 100k? better take BMW. now where got car below 100k? After COE went north, even cheaper japanese Mazda 3 went above 100k. Perhaps those that you are looking at are Korean cars. There are still possibility that it is below 100k. There are 28 cars that cost below $100K. http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_listing.php?MOD=&PR1=0&PR2=100&DEP=&VT=Any&DT=Any 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan_06 5th Gear May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 Talking about value, I would choose attrage. Then k3. But k3 is really heavy. Elantra basic model looks like slum The worst value to me? Almera. Almera, people buy for the space and it's 5 speed Mt. Nevermind that it doesn't have traction control, all wheels disc brakes and 6 speed Mt which accent has. I dun like the shape of Almera as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hshs 5th Gear May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 I think value is very subjective. Some find some feature useful to him/her. But some don't think so. So I suggest to choose from Look - Elantra(fresh) Feature - K3 Brand - Honda Jazz Cheapest - Chery/Mit Attrage 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxcvb Turbocharged May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 Worst value salon car will be the current Vios. Overpriced, made in Indonesia, old engine. The rest of countries already upgrade the engine to dual vvti plus better specs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little_prince Supersonic May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/review.php?AID=701 http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/review.php?AID=701 The subjects in our previous comparisons came in all shape and sizes, ranging from cutesy little style coupes to spruced-up pocket rockets. Even family SUVs came into play, to see which is more capable of tugging five people in comfort across our urban jungle. No doubt there are fans of each group test, we cannot forget the stronghold mid-sized sedans have on the market, much less the return of one of motoring's all time greats - the Toyota Corolla Altis. The new Altis comes with LED headlamps - a first in its segment The competition could not have been more intense. Its rivals - theJetta and the Forte K3 - are some of the most common nameplates on our shores, selling like hot cakes at the peak of their time. Exterior It is easy to tell that the latest Corolla Altis has been thoroughly reworked from the sheet metal alone. Now in its 11th incarnation, the Altis has shed its boring, nondescript image for one that is more contemporary and sophisticated. The Jetta, on the contrary, stays close to its family genes and is instantly recognisable as a Volkswagen. Since its inception as a 'Golf sedan', the Jetta has grown up a fair bit and no longer shares the front fascia with its hatchback stablemate. Having made its debut more than two year ago, it is the most dated in this comparison. While we wouldn't go as far as saying the 'older' looks is gold, it portrays a more mature image - one that hasn't lost its charm, of course. Aesthetics have been the Koreans' stronghold, and the K3 does not shy in the beauty contest. There is clever use of lighting technologies, such as projector-style headlamps and daytime running LEDs, to portray an upclass look. More notably, the K3's European styling looks established and fresh even in the company of the newer Altis. K3's 17-inch rims (left) look the best of the lot, while the rest make do with 16-inchers ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
