Overall, it looks great. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays we have taxis in Mercedes, Chrylser, Toyota, etc. For that matter, if the brand is used by taxi, it shows that they are reliable and road-worthy, especially for our roads....try having VW Passat as taxis and see what happens..... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptronic Supercharged January 25, 2015 Share January 25, 2015 It matters only when the situation like this comes. A drunken Ang moh gets into a private red Wish at an Orchard Road signal!

Lock your car when you are on the road....anyway most cars today do have auto-lock when we drive off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karu 6th Gear February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Tried the Sonata. Not bad, drive seem adequate & comparable to the Japs & even contis. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurman Supercharged February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 Sonata is good but at 2.0 is underpowered. Machiam like camry 2.0 whereby the usa market is using 2.4. 2.0turbo n 1.6 eco. Way better than 2.0. Wasted komocco choose to bring in lowest spec Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 Test drove it last Sat. It is really underpower. Can hear the strain on the engine. Also the suspension, I tot they improve liao but it was still nowhere near my previous accord. Body roll still noticiable like my current i45. The dashboard also seems higher compared to the i45. Centre console no split tray, just a deep box. And why no electronic parking brakes like the i40? Still foot brake only. Positive thing is that the noise insulation is much much better, lesser road noise. The electric steering was good. When on road, steering was firm. When parking, steering was easy, one finger turning. Will consider only if its the 2.0T power plant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its $133,xxx for guarantee COE. 5K off for non-guarantee. I did not ask much cos dont like the 2.0 engine. She also can sense me not interested. She also quote me my existing 2010 i45 trade in price for 60k, I even more disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aukang 6th Gear July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Strange that no one is discussing this car vs the K5.... Is it because it's really no good? Any mcfers bought this? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
