Does a bread and butter car suffice for daily travelling with 4 adults inside?

 

definitely not powerful enough

4 adults is almost 250 to 280 kg.

In Singapore, torque matters. So yes, 100 bhp is enough coupled with 146Nm torque.

 

I was quite satisfied with my previous Ford Focus Mk1 100bhp in SG roads as well as NSH.

Why not? My optra estate us 107bhp n i sometimes hv 5-6 pple in my car even.

 

Climb cp slope or pick-up wh other cars at traffic light also easy.

 

More important is what is yr torque? Good torque can get u moving off fm standstill or accelerate quickly even.

 

Even 1lit cars nowadays can carry 4 adults quite easily. Just press e accelerator harder only.

 

Some drivers like so scared to floor it thinking e engine explode or wheels fly off. Hahaha.

Yes enough for Singapore everyday driving. even in msia also no problem to reach 110-120km/h.

In our flat country & slow speed, its not an issue. Beside, you (TS) wouldn't have 4 adults often right?

I am happy with my 1.6L Ford Focus @ 100bhp. No problem travel @ 90 km/h in Singapore.

This car can travel up to 130 km/h with 4 persons and luggages in Malaysia NSHW.

 

Did not try any speed above 130km/h. Safety first.

 

BTW, my old Toyoda Corolla also 100bhp. It also perform very well for the past 9+ years. Ever try 140 km/h @ NSHW, still OK.
