In terms of comfort level and quiet cabin, Nissan definitely better than Toyota. Importantly, Sylphy is not being used as TAXI. Not to mention, better Service Centre Support by Tan Chong.

Diesel 1st Gear September 15, 2009 Author Share September 15, 2009 I have tested the Sylphy & was very impressed. Have not tried the Allion (although my boss driving the 1.8 version) so can't really compare in this aspect. For me whether taxis using the same model not really an issue, is more of a perception to others, not to myself thankfully most taxis on the roads are colourfully decorated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWbarb 1st Gear September 15, 2009 Share September 15, 2009 buying from tan chong anytime better than buying from a PI...gives u peace of mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel 1st Gear September 15, 2009 Author Share September 15, 2009 The factors which are affecting my decision are: 1. Servicing & maintenance (Nissan) 2. FC (Toyota) 3. Interior (Nissan) 4. Exterior (Toyota for its sportier looks) I think features & functions wise both are very similar (keyless ignition, climate control, foot-brake, etc).

Maroon5 5th Gear September 15, 2009 Share September 15, 2009 sylphy for me...it jus looks much more refined...allion and forte looks alike and i prefer the forte haha anyw a fren of mine has the Allion SJK plate, she was driving Getz previously and she says Allion underpowered..

Jenius81 1st Gear September 15, 2009 Share September 15, 2009 both are good car, but i can tell u tan chong's servicing is not bad, and quite inexpensive for an A.D. Sylphy's rear space is good, 1.5 litre engine is good enough, and gear box (4 AT or cvt) is smooth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFox Neutral Newbie September 15, 2009 Share September 15, 2009 (edited) Maybe I can give my take as an Allion owner. I just recently bought a Toyota Allion and I'm enjoying it so far. Had no problems with my PI and all. I must say up till now, colleagues and friends who have seen and sat in the car have nothing but positive comments. Comparing with my friend who owns a Sylphy, I prefer the Allion's design but interms of leg room at the back, Sylphy wins. Interior quality wise of course it goes to Nissan. Handling and power wise I think both are on par. At the end of the day, you should go down personally to the showroom, sit in the car and get a feel of it.

I don't think it's fair to determine that the Allion is underpowered compared to the Sylphy just because your friend used to drive a Getz before switching to Allion. IMO, both Allion and Sylphy are underpowered....then again it's not a sports car.....more of a small luxury sedan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodCar 4th Gear September 15, 2009 Share September 15, 2009 There is one thing which we usally ignore; the shoulder room behind. While the leg room is important, the shoulder room will determine whether 3 person can sit comfortably behind. Anyone know which car has a bigger shoulder room? I like Allion for it's reclining back seat , I also like Syphy for it's interior refinement. though choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vextan 1st Gear September 15, 2009 Share September 15, 2009 Allion's FC better ? You sure ? I would bet the other way ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutan 1st Gear September 15, 2009 Share September 15, 2009 Allion's FC better ? You sure ? I would bet the other way ... aiyor...VVTi = good FC where VTEC = POWER...at least for our MCF thinking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodCar 4th Gear September 15, 2009 Share September 15, 2009 I think Sylphy new alu engine also got some form of variable v/v timing. . But Allion I heard got a solid platform succeeding from the good old Corona, thus body heavier for a more sturdy drive.. I guess Syphy body also under this categary, anyone can comfirm? Axio are design and build with a light body to be more fuel efficient. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying Allion's FC is good though cos I dunno about Sylphy's but I can hit 15.2 so far in my Allion..... As for shoulder room I would say Sylphy should win.
