Hi all bros & siss(if any), Today juz went to Komoco and see the new Avante.....on display is the 2.0L and have an amazing fuel economy of 12.8km/l..... btw, 2.0L wun come into SG...only 1.6L models will come in Sep 06....the display is only for show and many ppl already booked only despite no test drive yet....1.6L FC surely above 13-14km/l and HP is 121...... a serious consideration.....spacious, using similiar engine to Altis (VTT, patent for Toyota Altis VTTi).....claimed to have superior FC to the Altis...... Come year end....maybe, really maybe.....will change to this model....$54,999 with sunroof (juz additional $1,000).... BTW, this SE is my friend and 3 colleagues of mine had bought the Getz from him....can be trusted....so the FC makes my "lao nua" (saliva drip)......

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soooooooooooo much classier......no joke, its front looks like Altis, a bit like Civic, the rear like Lexus GS300, the body like the old Jap made Corolla.....NOT a reproduction of Elantra......
It's really new and not much ppl knew about it.....it will sell like hot cakes esp the sunroof model which only cost that $1k more....soooo many plus like the good FC, 121 horsepower, spacious, classy, auto climate (auto air-con with a indiglo blue screen).....only sad thing is only 1.6L models dun have the auto steering with cruise control which the 2.0L euro specs models have and 2.0L models wun be sold in SG......

only one Avante in SG....Komoco Alexandra main branch....displayed is 2.0L (Euro spec) but coming in SG for sale will be 1.6L....sorry, i heard from my friend Avante in Europe is like the called Avante Elantra.....so maybe, it's a new improved Elantra afterall.....i will bring my family to see it again this Sunday and poison my wife to agree to buy... As for QQ showroom, it's at Ubi....dun waste time lah....my friend seen it....abt same price with pica but soooo much horrible.....very plastic and the moulding of metals sucks....only thing better than pica is the rear have powered windows.....

Bro TohTo: Avante 1.6L uses the VVT Japan engine (similiar to Toyota but patent so cannot use the same VVTi name)....It comes with 2 front SRS Airbags, ABS with EBD, Air-con Climatic Control (auto type and stylo looks), auto-lamps under flipboard (the one used to block sunlight for driver and front passenger), 15" Alloy rims and full leather seats(very shiok type), alarm, or anything i may left out.....oh, the gear staggered type....many other stylo-milo features... SE promise to throw in fog lamps, window tint and reverse sensor as freebies (these 3 not standard specs as stated in catalouge).... the 2.0L not coming into SG lagi shiok....got factory fitted audio with steering control, cruise control, auto-fold mirrors and side airbags (with the SRS Airbag wording embedded to the leather seats)... Bro Jon170: This time confirmed....likely to book during this weekend liaoz....all calculations doned....NFBF dun wan to serve me, then I export him to some other place to serve foreigners lah.... Today lunchtime went to test drive the Honda AirWave....wah shiok sia....cannot feel the gear changing at all! But price too steep....about $11K more (Skyroof model) than the Avante (Sunroof model)....the built quality oso loose out to the Avante....the standard items worst....say loan too much, difficult to get freebies.....FC is 18km/l on highway, avg can get 14 to 16km/l....Avante avg FC is 13km/l to 15km/l but it is a 1.6 with 121 HP......AirWavw HP is 110, not bad for a 1.5L....the new 1.6L i think only the new 1.6L Civic has a higher HP of 125..... So, the verdict is out....Sunroof Avante In / AirWave Skyroof out! Monthly installment about $170 differnce leh, seow ah! no leather seats and tonea(knn, dunno how to spell lah) cover summore....no privacy lah.....and more importantly.....no sense....so ex......

on your selection. :goodnews:Finally a Korean car in Singapore have a equipment list almost similar to Japan. The Avante seems to have everythings the Corolla Altis had, inaddition, the power is much better . How is the internal space compare to Altis The new Cerato will also be using the same engine.
