I have been driving a B&B (Toyota Altis) car for the last 9 years and wanted an upgrade. Looked through various models including MPVs (C4 Grand Picasso, Wish), SUVs (Subaru Forester, Harrier..) and mid-range sedans (Mazda 6, Accord and Camry) but decided that the 216D AT hits the sweet spot of being the right size (spacious boot, sufficient leg room for rear passengers and not having to drive a big 7 seater to work daily when me and wife are the only passengers during weekdays), features, safety, FC.

Best diesel car in singapore `

What can you ask for - a 10s century sprint for a diesel car? No other 1.5/1.6 l diesel car can beat this. Can even go 1000 km mileage for full tank with a A4 size 3 Cylinder engine like the ford 1.0l engine. Coupled with a Toyota gearbox for more reliability and many luxury features like lane departure warning, pedestrian and front collision warning, speed limit info, parallel auto parking, reverse cam, etc. However, other optional features should be standard like cruise control (limiter sucks) and larger screen.

Who said driving an MPV isn't fun? `

If we cast aside the notion of what BMWs should look like, this is one of the sportiest looking new mini-MPVs around.
Inside, you certainly get the feel you're in nothing less than a luxurious BMW, though the high headroom gives the car a narrow proportion, despite being almost as wide as a 3-Series. Build inside is of high quality with the usual soft-touch materials everywhere. Most amazing is the space. Front and rear legroom put the 3-series to shame and could even surpass the 5-series. However, the driving position is high unlike a saloon car so finding the a sporty sitting+steering position is a challenge. The rear seats are at a good height for putting a baby into it's seat.
For the price, the specs of this car can rival it's more expensive RWD brethren. You can read about the features in the other reviews. Perhaps satnav could have been standard to bring the equipment list full-circle.
Handling at legal speeds is probably as good as the larger BMWs, given it's weight. Despite being an FWD, the e-LSD (yes it has one!) minimises understeer and truly sharpens your turn like a hot hatch. I've read turning off DSC will give some real thrill in the corners but that's not why you buy this in the first place. Nevertheless, it delivers true BMWness to an FWD car, if there ever is such a thing (Mini?).
Finally, we come to the power. With 270Nm torque, you will sprint ahead of most Japanese NA cars at the traffic light. Just don't extend the battle beyond 85km/h as the stock engine starts to get wheezy by then.
