Maybe they dont drive such car to go far, since they cannot park in every carpark?! Lol.

yeah true dont think they can fit in any HDB multi storey car park or open air carparks as its too long and wide lol.

If going to the malls,  think they just ask chauffeur to drop them off at the entrance and tell the chauffeur to wait there in the car nearby.

 Or at most just park outside the mall entrance, who cares about all the puny fines🤣😁

Me too. I have wanted a Kei car for retirement many years back but after seeing so many horror accidents involving compact car, as well as higher COE premium, I am gonna to change my plan... 

My first car was a Subaru Vivio (in chili red) btw. Fun car even if mine was non-TC.

Is your Vivio AWD like any other Subaru car?

Ya lo, those people who own such car sure have a chauffeur to drive them around, and no need to worry about parking la. Dont think anyone would drive themselves around in these car. Speaking of R&R car, there is one food centre that sometimes i would go to dabao for my breakfast, almost every morning i would see one chauffeur wait around at the carpark for their boss, and it was an old couple. And all the cars comes with car plate 1. Usually i would see them come riding in alphard and lexus ES, but the other day saw an R&R. :o

AWD is only available on the 3 door RX-R variant, which was equipped with super charger.

Mine was 5 door model with a puny 47 horsepower engine and in 5 speed manual, but given that the car weighs <700kg, when pushed to the max speed of 140Km/h, I feel like the car is ready to take off from the runway anytime, if you get what I mean. :D

In almost every instance I have seen RRs and S classes in Singapore they are always driven by (1) old uncle, middle-aged auntie or (2) young man. 

They are very unlikely to be chaffeurs.

Also, I find that foreign families tend to use chaffeurs more. The profile of locals who drove such cars, i.e. old retirees, or young men, tend to enjoy driving and rather drive themselves.
