Kelpie 2nd Gear January 28, 2011 Share January 28, 2011 Hi all, It looks like time to hunt for a new ride. Now not earning income so don't want to spend too much on car. Below is my wish list, please feel free to give constructive recommendation. Brand Not very important but generally a reliable made, whether Conti or Jap. Engine N.A or TC, doesn't matter. Able to withstand long journey (NSHW) reliably Engine capacity 1,600 cc prefered. Presumably more economical to run Most of the time I'm doing solo in the car so big size/cc is not important to me Typical Engine type of 4-cylinders in-line will do Prefer higher torque relative to mean bhp of the same class Performance Acceleration not more than 11s (0-100kmh) Hoping for Fuel consumption of around 13km\L Gear Box Minimum Transmission 5-speed preferred AT prefered than CVT FWD will do Must be Auto gearbox Dimension Sedan preferred Can sit 4 full size adults comfortably will do Good leg room Prefer decent boot size Longer Wheelbase in relative to overall dimensions Short turning radius Not more than 1.3 ton in Kerb weight preferred High Fuel tank capacity in relative to size. At least 50L preferred Brakes Brakes (Front) Ventilated disc Brakes (Rear) Disc Suspension MacPherson type with rectangular lower arm and anti-roll bar preferred JB a lot of pop holes so the suspension strength should be decent Safety features Minimum 2 airbags ABS is default Traction control is preferred Driver's features Trip Computer preferred Audio Controls on steering wheel Push start engine button preferred though not important Electrical retractable side mirrors Paddle shifters and Cruise control preferred though not very important Should have +/- for shifting by gear stick though Security features Immobiliser Remote boot release preferred in sedan Rear fog light preferred though not important Exterior features Decent look that can at least last for 3 years (Ok, I know look is subjective) HID headlights Front fog lamps Reverse sensors Side mirror signal indicators Sunroof / moonroof / skyroof is good to have though not essential protector stripe on car body preferred Interior features Auto climate control aircon preferred Rear aircon preferred Audio Aux/USB/i-pod Port preferred Driver's electric seat preferred though not important Knockdown rear seats preferred (40/60) Leather seats as default Warranty and Servicing 3 years or 100K Preferably can find servicing agent in JB since I spend most of my time here Can bring own engine oil and filter for servicing preferred Others Potential for light mode such as availability of strut bars and add-on Anti-roll bars Budget Purposely put to the last Budget less than $100K (Value for money) Please feel free to recommend. Probably will shortlist around 5 models then go for test drive. Thank you very much . Regards, ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
