That’s including Mini. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, all upgrade directly to BMW, Audi Merc because all 3 brands have super "downgraded" models to lure all the middle grounders. Ie CLA, 2 Series, A3. Now everyone on this island can look rich too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkl22 Twincharged June 9, 2021 Share June 9, 2021 Looks like the golf is most bang for buck. Cheaper than scale and Leon and has the multi link rear suspension which cost more to make. Didn’t go into the details about the depreciation. But probably a tad higher than Leon as it’s has the 15k VES rebate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I like my car, the fact that I can't load much stuff is killing me. If cat B prices don't soften the only visible option that remains is the Hyundai I30 or even the Honda Shuttle.

These entry level cars from the big brands have been around for a long time, perhaps longer than some MCFers have been around. It's just that our local dealers are finally waking up to this market segment. Look rich? Lol, for sure everybody in MCF knows entry levels contis are just like any jap cars in pricing, only perhaps to people who don't drive or those who are dreaming to own a car someday.

I find the 1 series nicer the 116i series is nicer because it is a generation newer and also more expensive than the 216AT. They're both using the B38 1.5L.

Car manufactuers dun build cars for Singapore. At the most, they listen to AD to detune engines to meet certain specs within the country.
