I've gotten the wrong car!!! `
|
|
|
Yes! I should have gotten the 1.4T instead of the 999cc. Of course the cost of ownership will go up, but some issues with this car will have been solved namely, the smoothness of a 4 cyl engine, more power, no transmission lag during gear change and no stupid crazy vibration during idling.
Issues aside, the engine still gives a rather punchy performance from 2k till 5k rpm even with the ST variant. Mods to improve the power is not widely available like VW which is a shame.
Handling is rather accurate and responsive although some body roll is there. There are people commenting on the hard ride but that is due to the factory recommended tyre pressure of 270kPa. It's actually comfy once you lower the pressure.
Looks wise, I think it's one of the better looking mid-size wagons out there. Inside the car, I did raise a question mark about the seats looking quite small but so far it's been good even on long journeys. The dash is really quality. Well-built, Soft plastics at common places but the screen could have been larger since there's still lots of space. Cubby holes are big and friendly which is a big plus. Shame the rear armrest doesn't have cup holders though.
The boot and the 40:20:40 folding seats together with auto tailgate is a unbeatable combination for utility. The spare wheel well also has loads of space for storage which I had used for my tools and cleaning kit.

Most practical, safe and spacious family car in Singapore `

Driving a 1.0L Turbo petrol Intellilux model for over 14 months and I am quite surprised with the bang it gives me for the bucks spent. The space and luxury features are unbeatable at this price point and although it has the form factor of a MUV it drives like a sedan. Add to it the low road tax and fuel consumption and it makes for a compelling proposition. The output from the speakers is phenomenally high and you will mostly use just 10% Of their max power output. Once the rear seats are lowered (which is breeze btw), you get a cavernous cabin large and long enough to accommodate even your furniture! You dont get this kind of space in any of the BMWs (B series) or other SUV/MUVs. Android Auto is a boon. The Intellilux lamps (higher versions) make the car look slick and sophisticated especially at night. Engine is never short of power although the transmission isnt in the same league as other continental makers like BMWs and Mercs. One of the rare cars which has one pinch windows on all 4 sides. Hands free tail gate works well.Power mirrors, configurable power boot.

Have been driving the 1.0 easytronic for a year and this model was phased out of Singapore due to VES surcharge.
Daily driving is great for a 1.0 engine and also occasionally mid speed pick up to overtake cars.
Most of the electronic gadgets are of great use except the parking assist as the sensor is slightly retarded and not accurate.
Rear aircon duct would also be a good to have feature for this car as it was quite stuffy for the rear passengers.
Fuel efficiency is the best among all the cars that I have owned maybe is due to the small engine capacity.
As the car model is phased out, worrying on the replacement parts supply on price and lead time.

Fuel efficiency depends on how you drive the car and usage `
|
|

This review is prompted following the review below on ASTRA 1.0 ST Easytronic fuel efficiency review because I have been driving this model for 16 months on average fuel consumption of 18km/l or 5.6l/100km
How I achieve it:
1. Light footed; Try not to cross 2000rpm after acceleration
2. Use highway as far as possible with cruise control
3. Usage 50% City/50% Highway
4. Use manual mode if you need more power control
5. I drive with the auto start-stop feature turn off because I find the vibration too abrupt when the engine re-start
6. No matter how hard you try, you may get very low instantaneous fuel consumption but it will even out to the figure stated in the first paragraph in the end of the full tank
7. Acceleration wise, i usually keep within 3000rpm; Off course many cars in Singapore will over take me from traffic light but so far no experience of honing though
Disclaimer: this is a 1.0T turbo enhanced engine; The engine power is sufficient for most conditions I encounter so far including long drives to Malaysia. However, for pure city driving (100%) it is not the most efficient and I have to agree to the review below. I would recommend CVT transmission type for fuel consumption consideration in city driving.
