The car park at wheelock place (Borders) is very steep.

Need to pull handbrake and stop in the middle of the steep slope for barrier to be lifted up. I think need to insert cash card into the machine or something.

 

Wonder if a Kia Picanto (with 3 other passengers) could start off in the middle of such slope to continue with the climbing. Would appreciate inputs from Picanto (or Getz 1.1M) owners.

I used to drive a 660cc (year 1995) Daihaitsu Hijet, up the slope in Novena.

Surprisingly, the 660cc cutie van could scale the slope effortlessly. There was also one other passenger in the van then.

You mentioned "steep" in the list of carparks.

Were you actually referring to sharp turning corner or angle of the slope?

 

BTW, what does "BK" stand for?

Strange, I never found these carparks difficult. I kind of like it when I can zoom down round and round until my passengers are giddy.

Take Note of the CarPark at Wisma as well, the cornering and turns are very narrow, super narrow...

 

Must take wider 'cutting' before execute turning down the slope.

[Albeniz]

MSCP beside Bukit Merah Bus interchange.

Width for turning to each level is very narrow.

Definately can, 1000cc cars are good at low end, hence pickup and steep slopes no problem at all

Van lagi best, there's a reason why vans sometime do not use 1st gear at all. Second gear is good enough to start moving.

My 8 years old Daihatsu 1.3L wth 3 passengers behind oso no problem leh.
