haven't seen a Voltz on rd at all. Heard some bros saw it ?

went to Kallang with friend to check out PI's Voltz & Accord.

PI said a lot of Voltz stuck, can't sell ? Look sleek & more

than Accord. Finishing very sad. Cabin materials look cheap.

Door handle, console plastic etc.. Good pts are design & rear glass

opening.

Accord is sleek but cramp in the back seat. PI said quite a juice

guzzler...

Any Voltz owners out there ?? Comments on performance of car

appreciated...

errmmm... but why compare Voltz with Accord? Can't lah... 2 very different cars leh... Compare Voltz with Stream, Prairie, etc. better... it's more of a MPV...

trying to decide b/w Voltz or Accord. Granted it's werid to

compare the 2. Prefer the Voltz to Rav4 (looks dated).

 

know anyone who own a Voltz? don't really need a 4WD in S'pore

abit of a overkill - no off-road. A pseudo- front wheel version

will do. Voltz is a cross b/w SUV & stn wagon. CG very low almost

like sedan...... but finishing pathetic.

Maybe you can consider the Caldina? I think my frens may decide to go for that instead of Voltz...

 

Caldina has even lower CG than Voltz, so probably more of the s wagon side whereas Voltz higher so more of the SUV side...

 

Caldina is about $92-93k with almost same spec as the Voltz but front and rear disc brake. Voltz about $98k? But only front disc brakes. I think you are paying more because it is a rebadged Pontiac than anything. IMO, the Caldina has a much better interior overall. Voltz has nicer silver-rimmed dash, but very dated looking air-con control

 

Can't comment on much performance coz the PI only allowed us to drive up and down the ground floor carpark at AML, Ubi

Not as spacious? Hmmm... I tot it is more... bigger boot space I think coz it's longer...

 

But between these and Accord, it depends on your need loh.. you have family? Like I said earlier both Voltz and Caldina are 5-seaters.. but really depends on the size of your passengers!! laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gifsweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gif

 

for me... if want to spend $92k, I'll go for the Hyundai Tuscani.. sly.giftongue.gif

I saw it at Global Car Assist in Ubi's AML... ground floor... check it out... Voltz also there for you to compare, along with Accord...

 

Not keen on Hyundai? Dun like that leh... sweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gif .. Korean cars improved a lot already lah.. wink.gif I like the Tuscani (more than the Celica actually) and I guess if it's not badged by Hyundai, probably more will like it...

thks. at least now i have something to do on wkends.

 

actually just wanted something affordable with lots of space.

quite sick of run-of-the-mill sedan. with pseudo suv u can

stick or retrieve things while in car.....don't have to get out

& open the freaking boot....got lots of crap in the card all the

time, like a second room.....

Ha ha... sharing room with bro so with 2 grown men, my car IS my 2nd home..

 

Caldina and Voltz would probably appeal to different people... Take your time! Or you can also consider the Air Trek... a black Air Trek is fierce! nod.gifnod.gif
