Camrysfa Turbocharged May 27, 2013 Share May 27, 2013 How much is the nissan slyphy Last week price is $110K for 1.6L. It has some plus point compared to the altis: keyless, fresh profile, cosmetically better lights. But, would it be palatable to local buyers if a 1.6L sylphy is priced higher than a 1.6 altis. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camrysfa Turbocharged May 27, 2013 Share May 27, 2013 Then you by both cars, decide which one you like after one week and sell me the one you don't like at 20% off... I am not sure at all! the test drive for sylphy is only from showroom up Bk Timah rd, nearest u-turn, down to nearest u-turn. :angry: I am now thinking thorugh: Think CVT is not so 'fun' for lane changing in our expressway compared to normal AT transmission. The SE said the pick-up will be there if one steps on the gas to above 3K rpm. But, that is no so good, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjkbeluga 5th Gear May 27, 2013 Share May 27, 2013 Yah, price up ..... some ppl have got it for 103, 105, 106. ok, got to think whether i like CVT with numb response during start-off... Never tried driving altis so I don't know but for my latio, I find the performance good after 80K servicing. I just went up to MY last weekend. Could easily manage 140kmh at 3+k rpm with load of 4 adults and 2 children. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never owned a CVT car, so I am here basically to learn more abt CVT cars. But, I think gameover for me .... Most probably sticking to altis deal because nissan unable to give a gtee that I will get COE at my proposed price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbian78 6th Gear May 27, 2013 Share May 27, 2013 I had been driving a CVT (1.3 jazz) for the past 6 years. Sometimes when i drive a relative's Latio (4AT?), I am not used to the gears changing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthrevan Supercharged July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 I test drive it. Ya sylphy is slower than altis. Not only that, I feel altis is nicer to drive than sylphy. the altis feels faster but sylphy feels slower due to CVT but feeling is an abstract thing..it's actually faster on the sylphy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razer_Blaze 2nd Gear July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 (edited) Test drove the 6 Speed Manual version a few months back in Australia(Sold as the Nissan Pulsar in Australia). Feels better than the previous generation Slyphy with 4 speed Auto Transmission. Sad that the manual version will not be available in Singapore.

It is due to the weigh of the car body? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMushroom Clutched July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 Altis feels faster and sylphy feels slower? It is due to the weigh of the car body? I think both comparable ba. Dunno why Altis still 4gear ratio? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Hypersonic July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 I think both comparable ba. Dunno why Altis still 4gear ratio? They find the 4 gear ratio is reliable and trustworthy, and people are not complaining so i guess they would continue using. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanboi 1st Gear July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 They find the 4 gear ratio is reliable and trustworthy, and people are not complaining so i guess they would continue using. 1.8L using CVT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Hypersonic July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 Altis feels faster and sylphy feels slower? It is due to the weigh of the car body? I ever got a Altis as a replacement car while my latio was in the workshop. Altis definitely felt faster with the same speed. I verified by the speedo from my garmin GPS. I normally drive around 50-60km/hr, and Altis felt faster. I think it may be due to sound and vibration insulation of the latio. Less perceive movement. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
