Cheapest Jap Car at the moment update!

[Arips]

Hi guys, considering getting a lower priced jap made car to get from pt A to pt B.

 

Looking at Honda City, Toyota Vios, etc.

 

Understand from the threads the new Vios is tomyam made a priced rather high close to the Altis. Btw, is the City still made in Jap? Or should I consider the Sunny, whose model seems quite dated and not made in Nippon oso?

 

Any idea what are the going prices or trends in the markets for such lower end cars? ie new lower end models coming out etc?

 

Thankks!

erm... think the city is also from thailand...

 

have you considered the latio?... think is rather worth it with an additional few thousand bucks more...

[Ahyoo2002]

Both City and Vios are Tomyam

 

The cheapest Jap car should be Lancer.

lower priced? how abt sunny or lancer? sub 50k for 1.6l

[Nikeboy133]

Yes. The latio 4AT is just a few k more than 50k region, If im not wrong, its 56 now right? Its more worth it than Vios..

[Arips]

City also from thailand now? Rem reading threads a few mths back its from japan.. wow.. wat a difference now..

 

Did consider the Latio, if i rem the price is around 63k for auto? Is it worth to get the sports ver? The reason why im asking as such is because by adding abit here and there, the price will exceed the tomyam made Vios by quite a considerable sum wouldnt it?

[Harper]

yah... comparing the both of them, the latio seems a lot better... esp the headroom... :)

[Harper]

actually the price is quite competitive... comparing the sedan version... and there's some promotion going on for the latio now... can just pop down to test drive the various cars and you'll notice the difference...

 

the price difference are not really great... as there's three different grades for the vios but the latio, not considering the sports version is only two, the normal sedan and the premium...

if you're looking for a point A-B car, you won't go wrong with the Lancer (imo)

[macrosszero]

Don't forget the Nissan March, which can be a pretty well-priced quirky choice.

Sunny made in Jeepoon

City also from thailand now? Rem reading threads a few mths back its from japan.. wow.. wat a difference now..

Cheapest made in japan cars are lancer and sunny manual version. Also manual cheapest maintenance and FC.

True, did consider it too, but it isnt made in japan too right, and the interior feels rather small, although its 4door. Have driven a 2 door new beetle before and the hassle of entering by the front to the cramp back seats really v tiring in the long term...

[Arips]

beats me, saw it from one of the threads.

[Arips]

i think for me 1st priority is auto trans, too tired off driving manual

[Harper]

erm... TS have you test drove the vios before?... the front is quite okay but the passenger seat is not too big...
