-

-
seletar airport.
-

-
i tink the older model looks better.
-

However fast sub-1 litre cars are,they are unlikely to pass the 100mph mark
-
top speed is 140km/hOriginally posted by ceecookie:However fast sub-1 litre cars are,they are unlikely to pass the 100mph mark -
That,too,justifies the worthiness of getting this car at 68k.Originally posted by Garage R:top speed is 140km/h
Other "normal" cars that are sold ard that value (i.e Sunny,Civic 1.6 etc) can already pass the 100mph(170km/h) mark -
but the main thing in sg is u cant exceed 100km/h. so in singapore is not how fast u can go but how fast u can reach 100km/h. there are pros and cons for this small car. pros is it look lik a sports cars, it grab attention, cheapest to get a car wif a retractable top. but the cons is can sit 2 people only. but too bad sg and japan onli came out the copen with a 660 cc turbocharged engine in order to meet Japanese kei car regulations. but other countries it is fitted wif a 1.3L engine. so it might be the same power as a RX-8.

It's a convertible, of course it's expensive. Tell me which convertible is not expensive
BMW 325i Coupe - $188,800
BMW 325i Cabriolet - $215,800
VW Beetle - $74,100
VW Beetle Cabriolet - $113,100
Mini Cooper S - $127,800
Mini Cooper S Cabriolet - $144,000
Porsche 911 Carrera - $380,888
Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet - $425,000
So theoretically, a Copen Coupe if it exist... would probably cost around $45-50k... still expensive for such a little car. Anyone know how much a Suzuki Cappucino cost when it first came in Singapore??? -
Ugly car! So small...
-
Nonsense man haha my friend's GTti 993cc only has 200 odd Bhp and due to the light chassis the copen can have pretty impressive acceleration boosting at 1.5bar lol.
If I'm not wrong they share the same engine as the Mira where malaysians like to drop into their Kancils =)) -
its not about how fast u can go. so wat if sunny or civic is faster? this is a life style car. not ur daily grocery getterOriginally posted by ceecookie:That,too,justifies the worthiness of getting this car at 68k.

It's not really slow... top speed doesn't really relate to SG driving conditions. Torque is more like it. And going by its cc, it has really good power ratios. 140km/h is the regulated speed limit imposed by Japan manufacturers for kei cars, it can go beyond that actually.Originally posted by Garage R:its not cheap actually..u are paying for something that's slow and small..its underpower too..

Forget it lah. His concept of GOOD car is that it must be fast. $20k can go 200mph best. It should alter with age, since he is still young. I hope.Originally posted by so_nice:its not about how fast u can go. so wat if sunny or civic is faster? this is a life style car. not ur daily grocery getter -

not really,but with sense of money,other cars(i.e WRX tho no irony here) is more worth it than this Copen.Anyway i didnt say this car's totally bad - some people who appreciate the PTW ratio might go for itOriginally posted by nOrmalbOi:Forget it lah.

like wat we mentioned above. who dunno a wrx is faster then a copen? who dunno tat a evo is faster then a mx-5? this is called life style. not every dollar spend on a car means u gotta buy a fast car.
-
Hai.. one say it's too small, too slow and underpowered... the other say not worth the money when can get a bigger and more powerful car at the same price...
Have this yet? No ah? Its ok, ok... nvm nvm

tats a headshot bro. -
actually my 999cc lao pok chia easily hit 120 on the highway.Originally posted by ceecookie:However fast sub-1 litre cars are,they are unlikely to pass the 100mph mark
