13177 Supersonic March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 A little bit surprised that Kia is not even in the top ten given how many people say how good value the Kia k3 is. Seems like you see more k3 than elantra on the road, and yet k3 not on the list. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leehock13828 2nd Gear March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 Seems like you see more k3 than elantra on the road, and yet k3 not on the list. Do you know a lot of K3 you see are actually from Uber/Grab? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic March 13, 2017 Author Share March 13, 2017 The Korean cars are popular because they provide good value for money cars that rival the Corolla in reliability, yet have more features. They are also amenable to all kinds of mods. Likewise for the QQ, that's why you can see all manner of chatter in forums like this. But all of these pale in comparison to the mighty Corolla in sales volume.. It just keeps selling and the facelift version looks impressive, especially if it's priced right. With it's neutral band maintained, it can only sell more in 2017 and 2018. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DACH Supersonic March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 Cars like Toyota Corolla, Nissan Qashqai, Mazda 3 and Honda Civic would sell well this year. Continentals, think the Audi A3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Citroën C5 Picasso and maybe 天魔兄's Opel Astra. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocy Hypersonic March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 Quite surprise to see a much less talked about X-Trail among the top ten in 2016. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonewposts 4th Gear March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 (edited) Dividing it into different bands: Ala Hyundai's tiers Tier 1 <90k Basic Elantras and K3s Attrage Tier 2 <110k Mazda 3 Nissan QQ Corolla 2017 version Honda Vezel / HRV Tier 3 < 140k Forester FXT BMW 216d Tier 4 >141k Merc C Class Merc E Class That should make ten or so... Some models might generate a lot of talk, or are good value, but somehow I don't think Singaporeans will deviate from their current choice... I can only see maybe one diesel in the top ten. And next year, the list will be massively different.. Tier 1 <90k Basic Elantras and K3s Attrage Tier 2 <110k Mazda 3 Nissan QQ Corolla 2017 version Honda Vezel / HRV Tier 3 < 140k Forester FXT BMW 216d Camry Tier 4 < 200k Merc C Class Lexus ES Audi A4 Tier 5 < 300k Merc E Class BMW 5 Series Tier 6 < 600k Merc S Class Edited March 13, 2017 by Nonewposts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise for the Lexus ES, that's quite a low volume seller IMO. S Class might make it into the top 25 perhaps.. This isn't a list of the most desirable cars Quite surprise to see a much less talked about X-Trail among the top ten in 2016. That's why I say high volume of chatter on a thread doesn't really translate into sales.. And quiet threads may mean low complaint rates or that the owners simply aren't into forums.. like the all conquering Corolla.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

longunners Clutched March 14, 2017 Share March 14, 2017 Remember read some where Vezel sales volume in 2016 = 6000 plus. So it could still be fighting no.1 spot in 2017 with Altis and QQ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
