Nikolaiski69 Neutral Newbie April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 (edited) http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/review.php?AID=36&PN=1 I did a review, G-TECH meter and all...this is the first of our actual clocked review/runs.

Watwheels Supersonic April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 (edited) From the pics, I must say the interior is uninspiring. That includes the 4-speed auto(with no manual overide? Why so stealthy when taking photo on the auto gate?), 0-100km/h sprint, its weight and $86,888 price tag(very auspicious for the dealers but not for the buyers). Ppl who buy conti are the "stylish" type. This one confirm is at the bottom of their list. Very boring car leh. Is this suppose to be a facelift or they just add a boot to the hatch? I see that they have the same torque from the previous 1.8l engine. Upping the hp to 140 makes little difference in the sprint timings though. I would rather choose the Citroen C4 or Ford Focus.

Watwheels Supersonic April 28, 2008 Share April 28, 2008 (edited) Yalor. With the hefty price tag they might as well put "I'm paying .....". Edited April 28, 2008 by Watwheels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why same price?? 1.8L road tax is about S$1.2k a year, 1.4L is about $750 per year, 10 yrs about S$4K difference. FC DSG sure better. HP for Jetta is 170bhp. Overall same price.

In Europe this is a bread and butter car...in fact sedan was built for demand in Eastern europe not the western Europe who prefer hatches... Cant call it 'entry level premium car'... though i must say the interior built is good but an Opel is an Opel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
