Hosaybo 6th Gear March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 Toyota is in a different league from the KoreansJust like to ask, if you have the same budget of 85k, what will be your choice? Vios or k3 or Elantra. Even though I drive a Toyota now, I would have gone for the Korean car if I am faced with that kind of budget. Space wise, the vios is also in a "different league" ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerNg_185295 6th Gear March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 I will get VIOS. i am in the old school thought. I do not need the fancy features.

13177 Supersonic March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 (edited) I will get VIOS. i am in the old school thought. I do not need the fancy features. More features, more things to spoil I agreed more features more things might get spoilt. I would prefer safety wise than those gadget features.

RogerNg_185295 6th Gear March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 Spoil if during warranty still FOC. Problem is these type of stuff often spoil after warranty. Ventilated seats etc are out for me.

True, usually it would spoilt after warranty. If ventilated seats is spoilt then it would become a redundant item in the car, if you do not want to fix it. Something like control buttons on steering wheel. Edited March 12, 2018 by 13177 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority will still buy k3 n elantraElantra n K3 also have the basic trim with little features. Base on the Jan and Feb 18 lta record, for sedan category, elantra and k3 r selling very well, better than Toyota This prove that Singaporean are accepting Korea cars and also indicate that ppl prefer cars with better specs n features. I guess it's quite embarrassing for BM to explain to Toyota why worldwide Toyota r selling so good but in Singapore, their sales r not that fantastic Edited March 15, 2018 by Kia7200 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ventilated seats spoil, then it just returns back to a normal seat as per any other car mah.. so having this feature is a bonus isn't it? Its not gonna meddle with the function of the car in anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not gonna meddle with the function of the car in anyway. I think what he mean is that some people cannot tolerate some thing not functioning or spoil in the car. They die die must find a way to repair it thus becomes extra cost. Same like auto folding mirror not working.Why must repair?Just manual fold settle everthing,right? Like my previous car,power window spoil.Just take a wire and tighten it and don't/cannot wind down the window anymore,lol..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
