Traded in my loyal latio recently. It really served me well for 7.5 years.

Major problem - aircon, change compressor once under warranty, change cooling coil thrice, once under warranty and twice own pocket.

When I sold it, the aircon was experiencing leaking problem somewhere and I was lucky kelvin and teo helped me to troubleshoot by replacing o ring etc.

Mine is cvt but gearbox is still strong and working well. Steering coupling issues were settled once kelvin replace with the latest model.

Mine november 2006 cvt premium latio sedan was traded in for 25k. And in less than 2 weeks, it was sold ( is the new owner here?).

My Latio is also more than 6 years now.

Don't know which car to change to as the Latio is too spacious at the back and other car can come close to it.

Sat i almost all cars now & still cannot find any car which comes close to it.

Teana cannot afford.
MERC --> SIAO LORH. Not comfortable mah.
Almera - looks cheap.
The NEW SYLPHY - not so stylish
New COROLLA ALTIS - not spacious at the rear passenger seats.

Headache.

The new Nissan Pulsar should be the replacement of Latio, okie....at least Latio Sports. Not sure when Tan Cheong will introduce it.

The current Nissan Note also looks like a successor of Latio Sports.

Honda Jazz or Vezel.

QASHQAI --> aiyo.. SUV hybrid. Buey sai lah. Looks so bulky too.

I saw the Japan Nissan website and it seems that they have the Latio in a new version. Sexy and classy too.

This is the link:_

Not sure if this model will be coming to Singapore or not? Looks a lot like the Almera too & only so far, in 1.2 litres.

Have been checking a lot of cars recently as my car is already more than 7 years now and now it seems that only the Honda Freed meets what I need as a replacement in the Latio.

Aiyo so hard to choose a replacement car for the Latio.

I changed from Latio 4AT to Sylphy 1.6A Premium.

Still have the spacious cabin and good fuel efficiency of 15km/l. CVT driving is quite smooth till you thought it has less power as compared to 4AT, but I believe CVT is better.

So far no complain for this car. Only thing to watch out is the tyres given (Bridgestone Ecopia EP150) is quite noisy during rainy days. May need to change and I also did sound proofing on the 4 doors.

How about Nissan Note, was introduced last year and I did not see a lot on Singapore roads.

RameshLV · « **Reply #39 on:** December 01, 2016, 06:19:26 PM »

Me too.. My Latio left exactly 2 eyars to go now. Aiyo.. big headache lorh.

Thinking of the COE to drop so can consider to go for the Toyota Wish or the Sienta. No other car can come close to Latio.

The Japanese version of the Latio which I have seen in Japan, is in-between the Sylphy & the Almera too. And has controls on the steering wheel.

Plus teh spacing is the same as that of my Latio too. Really wish that TCM will bring in this model. Also, considering of a parallel import myself directly of thsi model but the gahmen will definitely f**K my kah chng too if I do this.

Some more, no other parallel importer is bringing in this model too.

So looks like left with the Toyota Wish or the Toyota Sienta only.
