Haurus85 Neutral Newbie March 5, 2009 Share March 5, 2009 The newer Korean cars have really made a huge improvement. Driving an Avante now and its so much more spacious than my old Altis, much lower price somemore. But since you have your own COE, maybe prices will be lower? But not sure if ADs will sell to you cheap or give you minimal discount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twofouronenite 1st Gear March 6, 2009 Share March 6, 2009 why not consider Korean makes as well? Plenty of manual models in the Korean sector.. Avante, Cerato Forte, Verna, Rio, Optra... Kimchi is nice but Somebody want Sushi and Sashimi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somebody 1st Gear March 10, 2009 Author Share March 10, 2009 thanks guys.... went out with dad today... tried kia forte, the old lancer, vios, impreza. dad kind of likes the forte and the vios. impreza has nice interior but very slow pick up... =( vios is quite a nice drive coz its light i think, and the forte a bit heavy, but looks good. vios interior is surprisingly plasticky though. hahaha... any comments?

Quirky_ster Clutched March 11, 2009 Share March 11, 2009 old lancer engine super noisy, and super sluggish so what it's an old engine and sluggish.. It's a J cars... people will still buy it! My dad bought a 2.0l Galantz GDi a decade ago... and that's the last of Mits for him after it was smoke by a mere 1.4l Opel Astra on the NSHWY.... Anyway, there's a large pool of ppl who buy "safe" choice cars these days.. so old engine or not.. the cosmetics looks good! For TS, Vios vs Forte... try to swap the badge and the spec. see which one you will choose.. then you will know if you have badge crisis or not.. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incom 1st Gear March 11, 2009 Share March 11, 2009 Limited selections from ADs, you might want to try PI. Last round increase of yen, going to PI might face no stock/limited colours/high OMV which equals to high price. Then again PI offer mostly auto versions. Besides saloon car, manual and less than 50K, what other criteria? You might want to remove some criteria. Some models auto version is good enough or getting a hatch for a change.
