Considering the elegance sedan at non-guaranteed coe as i am on the fence about changing from my 3.5 year old kia k3. Hit or miss with the COE, i am ok with either. 

 

Any comments?

If commit sure hit - no miss one even on NG.  TEK has priced in the buffer to secure it as its nearing year end and chasing targets.

[thebutcher]

Yeah i suspect so. From the way the SE talked.

Anyway i did go with the astina in the end since i got a decent offer for my trade in.

great sharing. 

 You should put another important point that the CVT is nothing to worry about, as some bro very particular on CVT, where they define CVT=rubbish.

CVT sucks.

I think that's the standard price. 83888 for classic, 91888 for elegance and 94888 for classic. Is about just how much more freebies to get out of it.

Should have gotten the elegance. You will regret saving that few dollars for the classic model.

Isn't 20K servicing and 1 year road tax standard with the purchase?

Who needs those but they are good to have just for that little difference in price.

Wanted to get the elegance but wife said just go for the astina since it's just a 3k difference. 

[Kangadrool]

Classic better, with 16" wheels. LOL.

More comfort for rear passengers especially at slower speed over uneven roads. Remember it's a torsion beam setup. Cheaper to replace tyres too.

I would even bargain down and do away with "leather" seats. Original fabric seats beat locally fitted genuine leather from imitation cows anytime.

Only downside for classic is no rear aircon duct.

Same here, always for factory fabric vs local leather.

Rear aircon duct not necessary if the aircon is cold enough.

yeah.. unless the rear aircon is a separate unit with its own condenser, then all it does is to "rob" some airflow and coldness from the main vents, even if it has an additional blower.
