Thanks for the reply. My main usage is fetching kid/wife from point A to point B mostly.

 

Meanwhile I'm also looking at the new KIA Creato. Looks like the safety features like blind spot etc, ventilated seats are all there. What's the main difference between Avente and Creato in terms of driving?

@TurboSkyHawk I saw this Youtube video comparing the two cars, hope it can provide some insight.

If you are comparing the Avante CN7 to FL Cerato, the difference is quite vast. The FL Cerato uses the same drive train as the prev Avante. In terms of drive, it would be quite subjective. I preferred the prev gen Avante drive over the Cerato's. 

If you are going for just a point A-B ride and those fanciful features like ventilated seats/LED headlamp/adaptive cruise control is not really a must have, you can consider the S trim CN7 if your preference is for a new car.

Like what @Tcx607 mentioned, buying car is all about timing the right COE time.

If it hasn't changed, the seats are not full leather... the seat front where you sit on, is supposed to be real leather... feels more like synthetic type (pleather)... the side bolsters for the seat and back are synthetic... same for front and back seats... and steering wheel...

I was seriously considering between two as well... The features are mostly equally matched according to the trim level, and for me the four significant differences would be:

1. Look: avante's beautiful rear versus k3's handsome handsome front

2. VES "discount": (from what I rem, need the shifus to confirm) the cerato offers better value if both cars are priced similarly, because of the money u get back when scrapping)

3. Gearbox: the most significant for me, is the lovely AT transmission on the k3 against the CVT of the avante. Do test drive them both and see what fancies u the most

4. Ride height: as many other bros have noted the avante is very low. A big no no for me when I carry baby in and out as it causes knee pain already when doing it on my Vios...

These 2 cars are quite well matched in many areas other than the fact that the Cerato has an old engine and pick-up may be a tad slower. One ultimate factor may be the actual selling price. Hence may need to check with the SE and the overall offerings. When i purchased my Avante, the price difference between both provided a clear choice.

Can be repossessed units cause never pay car loan, can be car seller gimmick who will tell you the mint car just sold out, but they have brand new one wanna consider?

Honestly, my elite cn7 is a good car to keep for 10 years if you are not fussy about ride comfort and power. 

Everything else is solid. Fuel economy, ventilated front seats, wireless apple car play / android auto, electric car seats with memory , rear air-con, smart boot. 

When i say ride comfort, i just mean its not comparable to good luxury sedan where any bumps or uneven roads will not be felt by me or my passengers. Of course, I cannot expect that at this price point although i wish the ride comfort was better.

Power i will just say the pick up is on the weak side and i can feel it struggling abit if i am going up a hill. But, its a 1.6L car. Also can't complain.

I only paid <$100k for mine.

Now selling for $140,999 before any promos. Imagine that.

And, with COE so high now, can't change car already anyway.
