Yleow Neutral Newbie February 1, 2006 Share February 1, 2006 hi guys, am new here and seemed like i'd only be able to post new threads after i've made 15 postings... anyway, dat aside. I'm looking to get me first set of wheels.. am looking at the the budget of around 110-115k. Any reccomendations? Knew the new passat is going for 115. Went to the VW showroom 2 weeks back but no one seemed wanting to tend to me and the SEs suck big time... thanks! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black320 1st Gear February 1, 2006 Share February 1, 2006 Base on the list. the ALFA 159 outside the list but under compact executive. I will stick with my ride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool_jazz Neutral Newbie February 2, 2006 Author Share February 2, 2006 That is a good budget... You should go and test drive the following, (in no particular order): [ol] [*]Passat, [*]BMW 320 (the Asian Aerospace version selling for S$123k), [*]Subaru Legacy GT [*]Honda Accord Euro-R [*]Audi A4 2.0L (slightly above S$120k) [*]Alfa 159 (must wait for it to be launched in Mar/Apr) [*]Saab 93 (about S$105k) [*]Saab 93 Combi (about S$116k) [*]Volvo S40/V50[/ol] Only after the test drives will you know which car you want to live with for the next few years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool_jazz Neutral Newbie February 2, 2006 Author Share February 2, 2006 I wonder when will the 159 be here..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan96935sg Neutral Newbie February 2, 2006 Share February 2, 2006 Alfa Romeo would be sexy.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yleow Neutral Newbie February 2, 2006 Share February 2, 2006 thx for your suggestions mate. Will be looking at those... I'll wait a couple of months though as there are quite a number of new cars comming out during the first 2 quaters this yr like the IS250, Volvo S60 etc... hopefully the new car prices for the different brands will be more competative and offer beta deails.. btw, any ideas whats the dimension specs for the alfa 156Jts? nothing mentioned from the website as i checked.... cheers!

Cool_jazz Neutral Newbie February 2, 2006 Author Share February 2, 2006 IS250 will probably be priced about S$130k. All 156jts have been sold. I think only 2 test drive cars left. They are waiting for the new 159 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black320 1st Gear February 2, 2006 Share February 2, 2006 Why your list have a mixture of maunel and auto... how about stepronic , best of both worlds? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool_jazz Neutral Newbie February 3, 2006 Author Share February 3, 2006 If only those auto cars on my list comes in manual here in Singapore. BUT sadly they dont. Steptronics is not the best of both worlds. Sequential manual like the DGS, Selespeed, SMGII are the best of both worlds. BUT I love to be in control so a pure manual would rate very highly with me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yleow Neutral Newbie February 3, 2006 Share February 3, 2006 I'll wait and see what the price like when it gets launched late this month. Spoke to one of the sales guy b4 CNY that it'll be priced from 120-130. There'll be 2 versions. The standard and luxury (which will be 10k more expensive. not sure the difference though). If its 120, i'll definitely try to get my Mrs to stretch my budget a bit more.. hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic February 3, 2006 Share February 3, 2006 hey bro, changing yr 156 oredi? if u looking at another sporty drive, i'd recommend trying out a pssst-pssst this time round instead of another italian NA. btw, why not consider the M6 MPS? read in some overseas reviews that it outclasses the LGT.

Cool_jazz Neutral Newbie February 3, 2006 Author Share February 3, 2006 (edited) Hello Soya, Yeah.... sold my 156 liao. So now looking and thinking about another Italian or the Euro-R Psst-pssst? I love the 93 Combi but the mark-up is The V50T5 was on my shortlist, but it was not well received at home...... So looks like NA is the way to go.....
