To make it a fact & to face the fact Nissan has a reputation of being a Uncle/Ah pek car eversince Day 1 during the sunny's day. Blame it on their car designers. If u really dowan ppl to look at u as driving a uncle or ah chek car, get a Skyline or Fairlady i'm sure ur frenz will look at u at a diff way & angle.

Tat's their pt of view.... But when u go deep into details u actually find tat our latio is the most interior spacious car thus giving it a more square look.... Fuel consumption also 1 of the best in it's class   :yehyeh:   

If u really mind then spend a bit on "poison" to "dress" the car abit lor....   :bleh:

Mod the car so it won't look so uncle loh. Almost all 1.5 jap cars with the exception of civic, maxda3 also look uncle. It's the owner fault if the car looks uncle mah.

Why dun u try selling yourself? Can advertise on sgcarmart for $28. If can get good price u can sell. If not, just keep your car, lor. Afterall, the dealers are all asking for $40k++ for 2yr old Latio... I think worth spending $28 to try selling yourself.

Nope. Now is not a time to sell/buy in my opinion. I checked out the lancer Gt (M) its selling for 72k now. My friend got it for 59k earlier this yr. Furthermore my latio only 2yrs and doesn;t really look uncle now  :smile:

Even if latio have 1.6 / 1.8 / 2.0l models i doubt so it will attract the younger crowds, i believe they will be more appealed by the outlook of a civic rather than a boxy latio sedan...

As for hatchback, i believed many of the drivers below 35 yrs old would still opt for swift or jazz/fit.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but tis is still a fact.. As i can still remember very clearly when i juz gotten my car 2.5 yrs ago, my colleagues were all askin me oie y u buy lar-teo so uncle type of car.. I hear oledi damn sad as i was not even in my 30's at that time yet.  :cursing: :doubleguns: :mad5:

Bro dun sad lah. I think we got our latio because at the amt of money, tats one of the best car money can buy at that point of time. There're lots of better car like civic, etc but those cost at least 20k more.

Totally agreed, even the kia cerato forte looks sportier and cheaper.

The selling point of nissan is not sporty look, not matter how much you zheng, but it's the spacious and comfy level. Unless nissan changes its CEO. Probably nissan is targeting at the uncle group, while the son company, subaru, is targeting at the younger group.

The prob is not how the car is designed or how it looks but is the brand that makes ppl think its uncle car. If u look at s'pore car population, and see Sunny, Latio and Cefiro how many uncle vs youngster u can spot drivin tis few models?
Out of 10 i tink oni 2 are drivers aged below 35 yrs old.

(We tok abt jap brands) --> just take a look at eg. Lancer, Colt, Civic, Fit, Swift and Vios, 7 out of 10 belongs to a younger crowd.

Face the fact, like wat i said unless ur nissan is a fairlady, silvia, GTR or skyline no matter how much mods u do ppl will still generalize our ride as an UnClE car.

No point to zheng until like a sports car, but the pickup lost to a taxi. No offence to bros. Just my point of view.

Skoda taxis are turbo charged bro. How u wanna compare like tat? But to mod or not is really depend on the owner's interest and wanting to experiment with different stuff. It may sound really ******** or not logical to mod an uncle's car but we do it for interest sake lah. Aren't you curious of how fast/slow a latio can go or just take it as it is? heehee
Title: Re: Are you driving your fathers car?
Post by: chesterchua on July 08, 2009, 06:46:50 PM
fight w taxi hard la, not much car on e rd can fight w their pick up lo! if wan t b as fast as em, just get a taxi licence. have the pick up, no nd mod, no nd scared LTA, and can earn money while enjoying e fast car! haha!  :clap:

no nd surprise for 3L skoda since toyota crown if i didnt rmb wrongly is alr a 3L taxi ages ago?
nw is fast nt really because of its bigger CC but the turbo diesel !

personally i think every car gt its own fun la. depend on hw u play only. lets hv this scenario, imagine latio keep sticking behind e butt of a 1.8L civic. thou e civic infront but i think latio will b e one grinning and civic will b one getting piss. sometime beat someone straight down will b boring but surprise other is where e fun kick in!  :devil2:
Title: Re: Are you driving your fathers car?
Post by: vortex on July 08, 2009, 06:56:53 PM
Ya that's what I meant we can't beat the taxis. so I never fight with them.  :(

Hopefully TC can bring in the turbo charge 1.8 latio, then got chance. No need to mod somemore. ::)

theres a saying : there will always b someone faster than u. but i dun understand y so enthu abt winning taxi. haha!  :D even TC bring in oso muz see weather e buyer can afford e higher rd tax n insurance not. if at e start were t get a truely performance car, will nt b driving latio in e first place. there r so many option of car out there tt r fast at stock. so TC bring in 1.8L turbo latio or not dun really mk a diff lei i think. cause i believe this car is chosen over certain issue like e money involve.

Agree. Even TC bring in Latio with 1.8L turbo, how fast you think you can drive in Singapore road? how often you drive over 90km/h?
I believe... if you do drive a 1.8L turbo car very fast (over 90km/h), good pick-up (0 - 100km/h in <5 secs and winning those taxi.. )...your car will be drunk cos drink too much of Petrol  :D

This car not so good for new driver if you intend to orientate him after he gets his license....cos the handbrake not within ur reach...the last time i orientate my younger brother who just got his license, I almost die of heart attack...other than shouting for him to brake...there is nothing else i can do to stop the car...also....latio accelerate is super light...compared to the lesson car he has been driving is very different...hence he tend to overstep onto the accelerate when moving off from stationary....last...our steering wheel super light....so he overturn the steering wheel with a loud bang when he turn it to the maximum very quickly and suddenly....heartache when i heard that sound.....

Hmm...At least, i try my best to drive 90km/h in Singapore HW. To keep low fuel consumption and don't wish to get any "free ticket" from TP.  :D

Hmm...look like i need to give TP your latio plate number...so, that can straight away give you some "free entry ticket" when they meet you on the road, since you always over 90km/h on Singapore road  :devil2: :devil2:

I believe... if you do drive a 1.8L turbo car very fast (over 90km/h), good pick-up (0 - 100km/h in <5 secs and winning those taxi.. )...your car will be drunk cos drink too much of Petrol  :D
Let said, if TC bring in Latio with 1.8L turbo, will you find a way to winning a Ferrari?? :devil2:

my car drunk le  :( half tank not even 150km ..... i not fast driver somemore..   :crycry:

Hmm...At least, i try my best to drive 90km/h in Singapore HW. To keep low fuel consumption and don't wish to get any "free ticket" from TP.  :D

Hmm...look like i need to give TP your latio plate number...so, that can straight away give you some "free entry ticket" when they meet you on the road, since you always over 90km/h on Singapore road  :devil2: :devil2:

ooops! think i hv made a wrong post. haha!

It can be done. Close to half mark and it is 139km for me, my target is 150km that's all. Just have more cold start, traffic lights + short distance driving can liao. But the car is just fine, on NSH trip, same car same petrol can get >14km depend on how fast you drive. Latio FC is very much depend on your route and speed.

This car not so good for new driver if you intend to orientate him after he gets his license....cos the handbrake not within ur reach...the last time i orientate my younger brother who just got his license, I almost die of heart attack...other than shouting for him to brake...there is nothing else i can do to stop the car...also....latio accelerate is super light...compared to the lesson car he has been driving is very different...hence he tend to overstep onto the accelerate when moving off from stationary....last...our steering wheel super light....so he overturn the steering wheel with a loud bang when he turn it to the maximum very quickly and suddenly....heartache when i heard that sound.....

Thanks for sharing your experience.  You are right that the front passenger is passive and cannot stop the car for the driver.  I will make sure that we are in a super big and empty carpark when I orientate him.

The 35L warning light is it in the manual or by experience?

If scared reserve is not 10L can pump once the warning light comes out, then see how many litres pumped in.
Title: Re: Are you driving your fathers car?
Post by: Silver on July 14, 2009, 08:36:49 PM
will affect the fuel pump and cat. converter

best to go pump to full tank and check out the volumes before further experimentation
Title: Re: Are you driving your fathers car?
Post by: Silver on July 14, 2009, 08:38:46 PM
not in the manual

based on my observations and judging from the general feedback as seen from other posts, it points to this figure
