What will be your next car after Latio? The dilemma

[stdfrank]

Been a happy owner of Latio sports(hatchback) for the past 7 years. The car has not been giving any big problem, just some wear and tear repair.

Now itchy start looking for new cars but realize all the good things I like in Latio hatchback is hardly available any other models. The spacious leg room both front and back legroom(especially the rear legroom where my 8 year old can still sit in btw the gap to play, the big boot, the keyless start, the foldable and also sliding rear seat, the reletively flat floor, etc. the spaciousness of Latio which I took for granted for years now cannot be found in vw golf, Audi a3, bmw1, although these are more latest model with even longer body.

So which next car can provide similar features as Latio hatchback? I love hatchback and still prefer it if possible.

Sadly there is no Latio sport replacement model from nassian itself.

 Most Conti cars are never meant to be comfort and family orientated unless those bigger and luxury model. Audi A4 is already cramp behind let alone A3, you need to get a A6 for the comfort and space. You may want to indicate a estimate budget for members easier to advise.

Budget I set is about the price of bmw1 or Audi a3, I.e. About 150,000 in today's Coe price. It is unrealistic to find a latio replacement with that level of spaciousness? Engine power and other luxury is secondary to me.

[Jazz]

Not sure are you asking yourself a question ? When we ask for budget, you indicated 1 series and A3, so believe these 2 are your option. Nevertheless, if brand and space is your concern, then MB B class fit your criteria and budget as well.

Jetta might be a good choice..again depend would you prefer first or 2nd hand

[Jazz]

Jetta is a nice car, but the 7 speed DSG gearbox is a headache.

Latio Sports (hatchback) owner here as well, 2.5 years left. Really like the alcantara car seats and hope to have them for my next car. But looks like Latio sports is the only economical class car with alcantara seat?

[dsrio]

me also looking at changing.

already shortlisted citroen grand picasso C4, honda freed and toyota wish, all 2nd hand registered 2010 to 2011.

freed and wish should be quite safe but really boring while grand picasso will be reliability issues.

but now holding back to see coe trend again.

[Jazz]

If second hand, I will consider Honda Stream and Airwave.

Yup, I liked the seat too, really comfortable. So when I ask any sale guys if they have such seat, all tell me leather is more expensive A bit sad that nissan do not have a continuation of this model. There is a similar model called Pulsar in AU market, but TC not going to bring in to sg.

i was hoping they bring in the 2014 Latio Sports aka Tiida GTS with 1.6 DIG Turbocharged......

My 2008 Latio has been serving me very well for the last 3 years but the CVT box finally gave up on me early this year. I was scouting around for a car and ended with its bigger brother the FL G11 Sylphy registered in Mar 2012.

I needed the rear leg room but the disadvantage was the rear seats cannot be folded back.

And most importantly, I prefer the 4 speed auto, though clunky but still believe to be more lasting than CVT. My personal opinion

[stdfrank]

The hatchback pulsar was announced in Europe, looks promising, turbo charge and big rear space. but not sure whether tan choong will bring in. I would love it if they do.

They have the new Latio is Japan Market, I think TC is waiting for the latio to get into the Tom Yum manufacture line,
then they import to S'pore.

Almera lookalike

i think its time nissan starts bringing in turbo version of their b&b cars.

chervrolet cruze already comes with turbo.
and really, once you try turbo cars, its very difficult to go back to NA.

I believe the maintenance cost will be higher also...

This will end up what you want.....Power or Save $$

Anyone tested the new Honda City ?
