Nissan Sylphy

Traded in my Latio 1.5A Premium model for a Nissan Bluebird 1.5A Sylphy.

I would strongly recommend the Sylphy for a basic family car due to its spacious interior and large Boot Space. Exterior wise, much sleeker than the Latio, which I found it to be boxy. The driving experience is also much quieter and smoother than the Latio.

However, what is pleasing to the eye, lacks the power to perform. Weak acceleration and you can feel the rev when you want to pick up speed so not recommended for the sylphy to drive on fast lanes. The interior also lacks space for you to store things by the side of the doors.

Overall, not much complaints if you are looking for a basic car that serves its purpose to drive you from Point A to Point B. Keyless Entry and Engine Start is still a plus and looks pleasing for a 1.5A Sedan car.

So i bought this 2006 bluebird sylphy two weeks ago. It is the 1.5 litre version with 4 speed (i think) automatic gearbox. Bought it used with 40000kms on the dash. Car looks new. Almost untouched. The previous owner must have been very careful or very responsible or both. Good thing.

My previous car was a 2001 nissan bluebird sylphy n16 with 1.5litre qg15de engine. Manual transmission.

I have owned this car for 3months. So far so good, very comfortabe, compared to Sunny. Good fuel comsumption, always get 12.3-12.7. Very silent engine, air con is very strong, rather underpowered. Must floor my acclerator jus sometimes at PIE. Rather light steering, very easy to grip hand wheel, have a nice leather feeling on it.

Overall, the Sylphy is a comfortable and reliable ride. I bought this car with no-regrets! Don't think. Go for it.

I have decided to go car hunting to replace my 3 years old ride--Latio Sport. I had 3 choices in mind-Sylphy, Civic and Latio. I decided to turn down Latio as it is very common on the roads and looks bad. Civic is also turned down as it has a bad sound system (1.6l) and has rather bad sound insulation. So, I went down to test the Sylphy.

I've drove the nissan Sylphy for about 1 and a half years. I've bought the Sylphy as I needed a big, comfortable ride. And of cause, my friends strongly reccomanded this car to me. Frankly speaking, this is one of the SLOWEST car I've ever driven. But I feel that the Sylphy is the most comfortable drives I ever had. From the Latio Sport, to Sunny, I feel that it is the most comfortable rides. I nearly slept in the car before. :p Apart from comfort, i like the size of the car. Looks like a 2.0l! Handling have improved afer i changed my stock rims to the 17" ones. Steering is rather light. Leather seats can be kinda of hot for the weather in Singapore. But the air-con is very strong I must say.

Price is rather steep now, might be due to COE. I bought the car at about 70k. One complain i must say, I think some people in this review have encountered this also, the loud and inaccurate. But has lowered the volume of it, so now still under control. I am also impressed by the car's sound proffing, very silent!

Overall, I feel that the Sylphy is a very comfortable, stylish ride. Therefore, I WILL recomand this car to my friends.

It's been 8 months above when I got it as OPC car. Till now it's only 7K+ km as I only use it in weekends most of time. Excellant car for the price at the time I bougut it. 66K before OPC rebate.

Mine is black color and I installed solar film after I bought it. Have to say, the inside temporature is high when parking under the sun even with the solar film. The aircon is good. I normally set inside temp as 27 & 28 and still feel cool when driving.

The FC is quite OK. Not as 6.9L/100KM as in the spec, but I managed to control my speed and maintain it as 9L. I usually drive in high way without jam. I drove to Melaka twice and enjoyed the speed of 130 - 150 and still feel stable. I noticed the FC will increase a lot when the speed is more than 130. It's about 12 for 130 and 14 for 150. Thinking it's due to the 1.5 engine, not 2.0 one. The best FC is at speed of 80 which is about 4 or 5. By the way, I managed to speed to 170km when there is no traffic (and police) before me.

As it's my first car, I don't have many comparison with other brands. I just love it and it's desired for a family car, not a racing car. I can feel the acceleration is not that good even I put od off. The comfortability is the most important when I chose this car as my friend recommends me.

I have been driving it for 4mths. It is a comfort drive that shuttles me around between point A & point B. Car is underpower when driving with full load, especially driving up slopes.

Reverse sensor fails to work when I collected car.

Feels lack of power when driving with full load, maybe due to car size and heavier weight

Definitely the most comfort ride i have gonna thus far. The engine is quite and the soft suspension really makes the journey most pleasant for all in the car

Have been driving the new car from April. Very comfortable and smooth ride. Good handling as well.

Compared to other car brand in it's category, one of the best!

Hi, I tested the car and after I straight place a booking. Got the COE on the 1st bidding as told by my TC SE, capped at $28.3k. Now waiting for my baby to arrive end of April. A luxury mid sedan that was build with comfort & space in priority. Surprisingly spacious & comfortable in it's class. Although the size looks big but I feel the 109 ponies power plant is adequate to move this beauty. Very quiet interior.

Has been driving this car for 3 months. Most of my friends who sat in my car says : is this 1.8 or 2.0? another says : u dare to let your gf drive such a big car? the rest says : u sure its 1.5? exterior looks big but interior is huge i can say, esp the rear seats.

At first for its size, i thought would be heavily underpowered and boot space would be small but it prove otherwise. I have no problem overtaking and able to fit 2 full size luggages in its boot. Very smooth and quiet ride at 100-120kmh. Tried top speed cut off at 165kmh, engine ok, but guess my suspension too soft resulted difficulty in handling.

But its definitely not for sporty car go-ers.

Of this category, any beta cars?

My friend drove this car for 3 years now. The condition of the car is still in tip-top condition and a/c is still very cold. Interior is comfortable although dash feels plasticky. Boot space is well sorted and fc is also quite okay but cold be improved compared to the corolla axio. This looks like the cefero but who buys the Sylphy now when there is the Teana?

Much higher quality then my previous ride - VIOS. surpass in terms of comfort, size, features. Keyless entry is cool but i have my doubts about it in the sense that it doesn't give me a sense of security when compared to locking by remote in my previous car. However this kind of things I can get used to it. 1.5(A) lacks many features that can be found in the 2.0(A). Too bad but you got to pay a premium to have those features. Otherwise its a good value car considering the high OMV and COE of 18+K each while selling at 65K at the time I got it. FC yet to be determined but hope its not much worse then my previous 06' VIOS.

Realise from my last post I accidentally put 'NO' in 'would I recommend tis vehicle to a friend' so i come back again to put a strong 'YES' since the post cannot be edited.

After 2 months of driving, the experience is getting better, the FC improves to about 8.6L/100km, and engine performance gets better, pick up improve and very smooth in acceleration. And the other day on NSH, travelling on an ave of 120km/h, the RPM is only about 2300.. very smooth and steady.

Would change the tyres to a quieter version though, the stock one is indeed too noisy.

Just got the car in Jan'10. Interior is "huge" and seats are comfortable. Engine power is average but you can still accelerate and over take vehicle if you are "daring" enough to step on the accelerator and "push" forward. Looked at previous reviews made, this is a family sedan, so for those who got used to performance cars such as Subaru WRX/STI fans, please don't post your comments here as the car is under power because if we compare your Subaru with Porsche - your car is definitely "under power". It's definitely a better buy than a Thailand made Toyota in terms of sound insulation and engine quality. Changed the tyre to Michelin Primacy LC and the ride is more quiet as compared with the original Yokohama Aspec tyres. Have compared this car with Kia Cerato Forte and Chevrolet Cruze - Nissan Slyphy is a better choice for me in terms of comfort, spacious interior and FC. Currently the price at S$66k or lower is a good buy in terms of the S$18k OMV and high COE.

Sat in my friend's sylphy 1.5AT as a passenger and drove it for a few days when he was overseas.

Exterior: Fugly as hell

Interior: Cheap plastics that rattles

Drive: Poor handling and lousy suspension with only ok comfort level. Lousy brakes too.

Conclusion: This car is seriously overrated
