New Car Consumer Reviews

The car itself is excellent in its class as everyone else has already mentioned. But I'm writing this unsolicited review to highlight the superb service of Alvin Ng, who was allocated to me randomly by Kia. I would say he's the best car salesperson I've interacted with. Didn't once sense that he was pushy or just trying to close the deal quickly. He answered all our queries patiently and didn't rush the test drive. When I decided not to get the car at first, he was cool and didn't try to push. At car delivery, he took his time to share about the features of the car. I would also say he is very experienced and knowledgeable. He has a strong understanding of the car market and the COE market forces. Based on how he saw the market, he could advise us accordingly. I trusted his advice enough to act on it quickly. Great call on hindsight. Thank you for the excellent service!... Read More

I've been driving my BYD Atto 3 for 6 months now and it has been nothing short of amazing. The car is smooth, quiet, and very comfortable to drive. The build quality feels solid and the interior design is modern and stylish. Most importantly, it's extremely cost-saving — charging is so much cheaper compared to fuel, and the low maintenance makes it even better for the wallet. Every drive feels effortless, and it gives me peace of mind knowing I made the right choice switching to EV. Perfect car for city driving and beyond. Highly recommended for anyone considering an electric vehicle!... Read More

With the VES/EEAI incentives and the relentless rise in COE prices, I finally decided to bite the bullet and make the switch to an EV. In today's rapidly expanding EV market, consumers are spoilt for choice across a wide range of budgets. It's a no-brainer to consider Chinese brands, given their futuristic designs and extensive feature sets at highly competitive prices. However, I found many of their interiors too similar and overly minimalist for my taste. There's also the lingering concern about their long-term durability and aftersales support—especially since many of these brands are still relatively new to our local market. After extensive research, I landed on the Kia EV5. Backed by an established brand, assembled right here in Singapore at the HMGICS facility, and supported by multiple service centers islandwide, it offers the peace of mind I was looking for. Its distinctive, boxy design also stands out in a sea of cookie-cutter EVs. Bonus points: the colour got the wife's approval. All in all, it ticked almost every box. During the test drive, the EV5 is noticeably larger than my previous car, which made the initial drive feel a bit daunting. Thankfully, my sales rep, Mr. Dom Wong, was extremely patient and knowledgeable. He walked me through the features in great detail and guided me on a comprehensive test drive route that allowed me to experience the car's performance across different road conditions. While I already came in with the intention to buy, Dom's professionalism and easygoing manner made the entire process a lot more enjoyable.... Read More

It was a coincidence that I strolled into Omoda's showroom early this year when the COE dropped to 85K for cat A. I fell for Omoda's smooth handling, luxurious fittings and too many and too confusing features/ functions etc, all on top of the great price. 1 week later, after checking out another 2-3 similar EV, I went back and placed the order. Now I have the car for coming to 5 months, and I am immensely proud of it whenever I drive it. I am a value-driven person, and I really think this car, for its price, outdoes many of its range and beyond. Pick-up, brakes, turning etc, smooth and silent. Highly effective, I would say. Looks? Had heads turning on the road and carpark, even when I try not to notice.... Read More

Had the opportunity to own the Volkswagen Polo 1.2 Sport TSI DSG (A) for a few months. It was a 2011 model. The vehicle I got did not feel its age at all. The engine was still in good condition, and was powerful and responsive. The car was also surprisingly comfortable even with 2 adults at the back seat. The vehicle looked small from the outside, but it really packed a lot of space in the car.... Read More

I've owned this car for 1.5 years. My nightmare started from day 2 of owning the car, it got towed back. Since then, my car been in and out of the workshop for more than 6 times. Each time for many days even weeks with no answers on what's wrong with it. I usually don't write reviews, but my experience with the Volkswagen Tiguan has been extremely disappointing and frustrating. The car broke down unexpectedly time and again since owning it for only 1.5 years. Each time my car gets towed away,It left me completely stranded and has caused major inconvenience in my daily life. What makes the situation even worse is the complete lack of communication from the service advisor. I've received no response or updates. If advisor finally gets back, it will be the same answer each time. Advisor don't know what's wrong with car. It's incredibly frustrating not knowing what's going on with the vehicle or how long it will take to resolve the issue time and again Right now, i totally regret choosing the Tiguan and would advise anyone considering it to think twice. The whole experience has been stressful and disappointing. I've heard from people I know that owns the same car, all have their horror stories to share. It makes me wonder how can VW be selling defective cars knowing that their cars are not road worthy and unrealiable. I've been out of a car for many days now. With the weekend approaching, advisor said it's unlikely to let me know what's the status of my car at all. I'm totally helpless, and full of regrets on making the decision to buy this car...

Been looking around for an EV given that the push for EV is harder towards the end of the year. Few models in mind when I check out, Sealion &, Atto3 and Aion V. The Sealion 7, very common on the road now and very well built, but given the steep price even for the CAT A trim, it doesn't add up getting it especially they have taken quite a fair bit of features out from the CAT B trim. The difference is not just the COE but a lot more. So dropped out look 1 tier down, which left us with Atto3 and Aion V. Atto3, nothing unfamiliar with the car given that Grabride had already been using it, nothing more of an upgrade from my current ride and frankly the built quality of Atto3 isn't really impressive, if compared to the Sealion 7. Here, decided to drop by Aion showroom to check out the V. First thing after stepping into the showroom was greeted by the side view of the V, reminding me of a range rover. Was than introed to the car of 2 different trims, the Premium and the Luxury. All I could say is that this car has got almost everything, even for the lower Premium range. Comparing to my current ICE ride, this car almost have everything that I'm looking for an upgrade. The only difference between the Premium and Luxury were the battery size, massage chair, fridge (yes fride), leather seats, cabin mirror and DMS. If you are looking at something more straightfoward without some fanciful stuff, Premium trim would be more than sufficient and saving you some bucks every month. But if you have got money to spare, go for the luxury trim, and you would have everything it can offer. Frankly, if you are looking at an EV which is a sub-compact/mid-size SUV and not extremely heavy on your pockets, give Aion a chance and check out the V. You won't be disappointed if you are comparing directly to the mentioned choices.... Read More

Nice looking and reliable Handling is good and doesn't feel like driving a SUV 1.2l Turbo engine is just enough for everyday usage... Read More

Overall a good car for city driving. Eco mode I get about ~400km with 10percent battery remaining. A bit of range anxiety, luckily plentiful charging spots available around my area.... Read More
