kennyyy 4th Gear July 6, 2018 Share July 6, 2018 Thanks a lot sharing your opinion. Currently Sylphy 1.6 premium is quite similar to city SV version, around 83k. City is more fuel saving and more reliable, while sylphy has a lot features compared to city and with large capacity. A bit hard to make decision. U r welcome. Err ,, i'm not sure y Sylphy premium gt more feature than city premium leh. Just compare paddle shift, City hav but sylphy no have. Mayb u kw better since i didnt really bother to chk sylphy. My advise when comes to comparison is, always compare basic version against basic version. Then u kw which 1 price better and specs better. For me, my concern is always comparing specs and i nvr compare features. Also, car specs can more determine whether the $ u pay for is worth it or not. Features r just add ons and fyi, those additional features e.g leather seats, bodykits, bigger rims, etc are all after market parts which u can get it easily and cheaper and better after u drive for a few yrs. ADs use those same after market shops as well, but they sell exp and package to the new car. Nb rite To me, the decision is not tat hard, becas specs wise, City way better. Fyi, I'm not KM SE. I drive an Avante. I'm also checking out cars to buy lately, although not so urgently. Cheers. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitsubishi Attrage is cheapest in this list at $59,999. It sits 5 comfortably, is reliable and has more than sufficient power to drive in Singapore and in Malaysia if you stick to within the legal speed limits.

You dun own an attrage right? It's not as reliable as people thought Edited July 9, 2018 by RogerNg_185295 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged July 9, 2018 Share July 9, 2018 (edited) Wrong. It does not sit 5 comfortably. You dun own an attrage right? It's not as reliable as people thought It boils down to expectations - it sits 5 mid sized adults comfortably. Rear leg room is impressive, like a budget Rolls Royce. You can cross your legs when seated behind. You want space, top up $28K for the Nissan Sylphy, and the meaning of "budget" is lost. If you want power, go for the Hyundai Kona 1.0 turbo , which sets you back by an additional $28K and it's in manual which not everyone is capable in driving. And expect higher maintainence costs. For the meagre sum of $59,999 , the Attrage is the cheapest saloon in Singapore. If one expects a 1.2l N.A. engine in CVT to fly, then the Attrage is out of the picture. Expect to top up at least $20K more for other options. What aspects of the Attrage are not reliable? Edited July 9, 2018 by Vinceng 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokara22 1st Gear July 9, 2018 Share July 9, 2018 (edited) Attrage $60k is for package with trade in (+5k) and loan at least 7yrs (+5k)...else $70k all in lol Edited July 9, 2018 by tokara22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkl22 Twincharged July 9, 2018 Share July 9, 2018 I’ll go with the jazz or accent/Elantra. Decently priced and less hassles with trade in, min loans or whatever terms and conditions to squeeze more out of you. C&C is notorious for this. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel ppl who have no expectation of a BnB car, or those newly passed drivers or first time car owner are the target group for Attrage. But if you have been driving a decent BnB cars such as Civic, Altis, Mazda 3, K3 etc., I don't think you will like Attrage. The sound insulation is poor, vibration can be felt, the 3 cyl engine is unrefined. Top up a bit to get the Accent, I would say. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many continental makes like Volkswagen Golf 1.0 and Seat Ibiza 1.0 are also using the 3 cylinder engine. You can’t compare the Attrage with the Mazda 3 nor Kia Cerato Forte K3 which are 1.6l 4 cylinder – they also cost $20K + more. Interior space - Accent loses out to Attrage. The Koreans are behind in refinement compared to the Japanese. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
