Friendstar Supercharged January 7, 2017 Share January 7, 2017 This one: http://www.torque.com.sg/3525/i-remember-my-pulsar/ Interior very spacious but very underpowered. Very popular back in 1983 & 1984. Sold like hot cakes. I got mine brand new for only $27K. No COE at that time. Also got my resale HDB 4 room flat near town for $55K at that time. Took only 10 year loan. Gone are those good old days in Singapore. How to adjust the mirrors? I owned a pulsar sedan last time. Then Toyota corona. Then picnic. Then odyssey All drive nearly 10 years. Lol Pulsar is priced similar as C4 and Golf 1.2 Profit margin is very high, at $22K for every car sold, based on $50K COE. Tan Chong shd give the Pulsar a pricing advantage, and buyers will be more willing to bite. Just nice, somewhere in between Note DiG-S and Qashqai 1.2 pricing. At such pricing, I rather save $16k and get the Lancer at $86K. Wtf!!!!! What did I see?101k?!?! This is in the range of the ultra popular vezels.

U stepped hard and it revved up and quickly drop rev again. U get what I mean? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U stepped hard and it revved up and quickly drop rev again. U get what I mean? Lancer comes in four speed auto. That is how it behaves, unlike CVT where rev is constant.

Lala81 Hypersonic January 7, 2017 Share January 7, 2017 (edited) The lancer engine is probably unchanged. I remember test driving it in 2008 and I recall one uncle in the showroom calling it a motorboat engine lol. Edited January 7, 2017 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I drove the 1.6 version. SLD plate. Thought should be good. It's not about the 4 speed auto. I have driven 4 speed auto which are much better. It's the engine response and behaviour. Indeed point a to point b bnb car MIJ this should be it. Mid 80 k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nav14 6th Gear January 7, 2017 Share January 7, 2017 (edited) But the problem is people are preparing to send the car to scrap yard and you Just brought it? Every time I see a new lancer on the road I shake my head at the silliness (this is the mildest word I can think of to write here so as not to offend) of the owner.

Tohto Hypersonic January 7, 2017 Share January 7, 2017 The lancer engine is probably unchanged. I remember test driving it in 2008 and I recall one uncle in the showroom calling it a motorboat engine lol. Not surprised! This is 10yrs old this year, all the changes are mainly cosmetic. The whole platform are still the same as 10yrs ago. Pulsar write up in today ST, seems QQ is selling just $4k more so how to sell? But maybe this is list price so got some discounts?? But QQ 1.2 is under power, with the same engine as QQ, the Pulsar should be very nice to drive. And from today ST review, equipment level are very high. Chris Tan seems very positive on the Pulsar. Even claims it drives better than the Civic Turbo. Wow.... It is made for Europe market, not surprising on the handling. 2008 was using 1.5l engine. But now using 1.6l engine. But at this kind of pricing and made in Japan, cannot complain. This 1.6 engine are the same old 1.6 used since late 90s, just re-tuned and re-tuned many times to meet later emissions requirements.
