Hi bros,

 

Very informative review with caveat to look at only the cvt version while some competition are also higher grades not available here e.g. mazda 2.0:

In short against competition:

 

Pros:

- Safety, safety, safety

- Low cost of ownership

Personal: 5D is great looking

 

Cons:

- Sluggish

- High FC

Personal: low resale value

 

Looks like good choice as 2nd family car for wife.

 

Cheers.

Cod stands for cylinder on demand. Found the above review.

Buy a car you like bro, tats y u looking over at audi. Never make much sense; power vs cost. More of the cost gone to audi design team i think.

 

If want value for money sld just get elantra or mazda 3. Car cost alot of money in singapore so let it be a joy whenever u finish work n walk into the carpark n see your car.
