Char 5th Gear May 28, 2015 Share May 28, 2015 (edited) Here we discuss how durable is your car ...... So far my 9 year old Latio super durable and long lasting and seldom gives me problem . I am the first owner and so far no major issue except replace radiator at year 8.5 , ignition coil at year 7.5 , front and back absorber at year 7 and air-con compressor at year 6.5 . The main problem in Latio is high usage of battery and mine only last less than 1.5 year , and recently I use Amaron seen can last longer ! My mileage now 210,000 km and all these while been servicing by TC . What about yours ? Edited May 29, 2015 by BabyBlade ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roh96 6th Gear May 28, 2015 Share May 28, 2015 Why only Toyota and Nissan? I like to believe in numbers and facts bcos they don't lie. Do a search in sgcarmart and see how many COE renewed Altis versus COE renewed Sunny or Latio. What does it say about reliability of these 2 make?

Sharon123 Neutral Newbie May 28, 2015 Share May 28, 2015 I am driving a Latio too. Agree with you it is super. Like yours I have changed only the coil. Battery is reasonable. My mileage is only coming to 110k though its COE is expiring in Oct. this year. I am seriously thinking of renewing COE... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbian78 6th Gear May 28, 2015 Share May 28, 2015 My ex 7.5 years old, 150,000km Honda Jazz GD1 did not need to change radiator, ignition coil or any aircon items when I traded in. I hope my current Nissan is as good. It isn't, but still not bad. Here we discuss how durable is your car ......

tyco_kia 4th Gear May 28, 2015 Share May 28, 2015 IMHO, I feel Honda > Toyota simply because of the engine which I really feel is more superior in terms of power but not so good in terms of fuel consumption of course. I drove 360k for my 8.5 year civic and the engine never once gave up on me or needed to overhual. I switched from a Toyota Corolla E120 to a Civic in 2006 and never regret it. One thing I absolutely dislike about Toyota till now is the sound of the engine starting when it cranks up. I feel like the noise is just "screeching" and I personally find it a "ear-sore" if there's such a word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
