Daihatsu Materia

[Emils]

Was thinking they could have plucked the name off Final Fantasy 7 game... LoL. White materia... :x

[Elixir]

Please lah... ,just like last time people say Sylphy sounds like the name of a STD.

[Spiderman302]

Went to SinTienSeng to see the materia. Very spacious.

This car, either you love it or you hate it.

I like it. cos is it not so common. Its like a defient child. Dare to be different.

Like I am different from you guys.

Interior also very nice. Good quality.

You must be "daring" to be different to drive this car. Will make lots of head turn when you drive it on the road. Curious. Some will even curse at the car. Some will say cute.

Consider also resale value.

[Initialz]

For those who are interested in the Materia, go to the local forums for Toyota bB/ Daihatsu Materia.

All the information you need are in there. Very poisonous site. If you are even thinking of getting it, you will definitely sign on the spot within this month after visiting the site.

How about Daihatsu Copen ? Its even more cool !

[Picanto]

but copen can only sit 2. not suitable for a lot of people.

[Biting]

Because of it's boxy shape, it's very spacious. The back row of seats can shift forwards and backwards to create more leg room or more boot space.

[Auron]

my bro in law driving this car.

 

Very spacious.

 

If not because its a hatch with limited boot space, i would have got it.

[Flipflop]

i personally feel that this is a great looking car, albeit after taking a 2nd look at it. if u look closely, it actually resembles a familiar american 'gangster' car if u fit big rims on it. cool

I guesst the boot size not that small right?

 

Which car are u comparing to?

[Diehardsu]

Tot of buying the materia, pls advice shld I go for 16 or 17 rims. What r the pro and con

[Kk88]

how much is a Materia?

[Toyo]

$54.2K for AT and $53.2K for MT

[Jl1500k]

Maybe should stick back to default 15 rim due to petrol is expensive now and FC is better for 15 rim.

$54.2K, do they lup in body kit,leather seats.

[Redwood]

The car has nice exterior. Very few on the road thus make it very special.

 

Any kind one, can provide answers to the following:

1. Fuel consumption?

2. OMV?

3. Is Spare parts expensive?

4. Servicing expensive?
