Picanto 3rd Gear January 29, 2009 Share January 29, 2009 i am waiting to see , how long Honda can justify the massive premium their cars have over other Asian (including their fellow japanese) brands. when ppl start buying cheaper, but better cars, then it's too late for them KM can last a long long time. some ppl just like to buy premium stuff. look at it another way.......those shops selling branded handbags in orchard area till now never close down. there are always ppl with lots of $ to spend. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor68 Turbocharged February 1, 2009 Share February 1, 2009 after reading all the post, I am still very confused. So any experts here able to tell is the advante giving value for money. At $37K we cannot expect to compare with a $60K product. I am willing to pay max $50K for a 1.6 car, any suggestion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go out to all the showrooms and test all the cars and get all the pricing, then you decide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Determinist Neutral Newbie February 1, 2009 Share February 1, 2009 Wait for the new Kia Forte, it should have the best equipment/spec for 1.6L car cost <$50k. the 1.6L gamma engine is improved to 124bhp.. or maybe to 126bhp at later stage.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor68 Turbocharged February 7, 2009 Share February 7, 2009 Sorry, I don't know 121 bhp or what but it didn't feel the power when I try to overtake. My Chev Optra has more power than this although I didn't know what bhp it got. Engine noise is decent but interior so so lor. But price is right. I think it will drop below the 40K mark soon.

Yipsy1 Neutral Newbie February 11, 2009 Share February 11, 2009 think 1.6 honda can cream a 1.6 avante even the many times i tested cerato/avante/i30 to ascertain how ferocious their 121 horses were, all left me disappointed, even a ford focus 100bhp can cream it easily I can confirm that my puny 100hp Focus leave all those Korean 1.6l cars in the dust. Considering it has a 5 yr warranty/100,000km, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), 5 star NCAP. No other 1.6l car offer these perks. Pathetic engine but safety assured. To each his own.
