Latio79 Clutched July 13, 2009 Share July 13, 2009 Yes, I agree. There's no one "perfect" car. I find sylphy as one of the best in its class in terms of overall rating esp when it comes to technology & comfort. Nissan cars tend to be comfort biased. Different from cars that Honda produces. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigershark1976 Turbocharged July 13, 2009 Share July 13, 2009 actually, as long as the owner likes it, whether toyota, honda, nissan, mazda ..... does it really matter??? its the owner who pay for it ultimately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picanto 3rd Gear July 13, 2009 Share July 13, 2009 sylphy get 2.0L...1.5L has just low power... teana get 2.5V6...2.0L sounds gruff and severely underpowered... if the 2.5V6 teana also cannot please you, i think you should be looking at cars that cost more than a hdb flat?

Quantum 5th Gear July 16, 2009 Share July 16, 2009 o yah.. Nissan build rubbish car. if compared with ur HONDA don't think so, target diff group, nissan more on comfortable and equipped, honda only is buget car segment on performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tas0577 1st Gear July 16, 2009 Share July 16, 2009 don't think so, target diff group, nissan more on comfortable and equipped, honda only is buget car segment on performance You are right, Honda is poor man's performance car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axela72 5th Gear July 16, 2009 Share July 16, 2009 You are right, Honda is poor man's performance car. You forget to include "without TC." NA. That is one of their selling strength Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wang2inc Neutral Newbie July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 But Honda make is very very good. The engine especially, not many cars can match the smoothness or performance of a Honda engine. It's not about performance and speed, but the engine build quality, fuel efficiency and responsiveness in a Honda sometimes out performs even conti cars.

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 the new Honda engines are gruff and underpowered for new Honda cars... the previous Civic has both 1.6 and 1.7 i-VTEC engines, mated to a pretty light car body...power and handling supreme... come the new Civic, even with more power, but with much heavier body, you won't feel the power... the same can be said for Accord 2.0L 150bhp and Odyssey 2.4L 180bhp...rev the nuts out of it, engine makes sluggish noise (not really nice to hear), you don't seem to be going any faster too... i should think old cars are better than new ones...

Quantum 5th Gear July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 its not underpowered. it just that our tax system does not favour big cc car. don't think sylphy is A Bad Choice, even feel it's better than altis in term of equip, power, spacious and FC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Clutched July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 I think for the price...Sulphy is a value buy cosidering the luxurious interior and the 1.5 litre sulphy hav pretty decent FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latio79 Clutched July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 Its confirm better than altis. Latio itself is superior than Altis in many ways. Sylphy is in between Camry and Altis if u are referring it to Toyota just as its in between Teana and Latio. don't think sylphy is A Bad Choice, even feel it's better than altis in term of equip, power, spacious and FC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picanto 3rd Gear July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 don't think sylphy is A Bad Choice, even feel it's better than altis in term of equip, power, spacious and FC no matter what equipment level TC equip the Sylphy with, it can never outsell the altis. i would say the brand power of toyota is VERY strong.

BaguaTV Neutral Newbie July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 (edited) Sylphy = Bluebird = Taxi. Brand power dipped immediately. No money but still want the best, buy Honda Jazz. Got a bit more money and want comfort and space, buy Toyota Camry. Got alot of money? You probably won't be bothered coming to forum to check up anything before buying...hehe...
