Ermm... dats 100% incorrect. You do not need a company name to register but you will need to register a business entity (Sole Proprietor) in order to register for a Goods Vehicle. Registration for a business entity is $60 and renewable yearly at $20.
If one did his/her maths correctly, you will find it not viable to get a Goods vehicle in these days. E.g. if you are getting a Musso at close to $60k, isnt it more viable to get a Toyota Altis at $54k? Though the latter can drive to Malaysia but you will need to register with Malaysia JPJ (Singapore equivalent) and pay the yearly road tax that Malaysia good vehicle is paying at no subsidary. Nevertheless, you can try driving in to Malaysia but chances of getting caught when coming out is high with a fine. Also, there is a PARF value for the Altis while none at all for the Musso after 10 years.
Even if comparing a smaller vehicle, e.g. Kangoo vs Picanto, the latter still has a lower depreciation value as compared to the earlier.
Hope it helps.
Cheers

well im driving the latio sports. No regrets
It is relatively fuel efficient. (at least 15km/l for me)
not as efficient as the jazz of course.
Fuel efficiency is detemined by your right foot. watch your rev if you want to save petrol
Wanted the jazz originally. but changed my mind immediately after i saw the Latio sports.
Like the spacious interior the feel.

Get ready to shell out for petrol. The Legacy GT wagon i'm driving now does about 14L/100km (~7.1km/L) and it's essentially has the same engine as the older 2.0T WRX.
I imagine the new 2.5T would be even worse (although it did win some engine award or something, as I read in this month's issue of Torque).But then again, the station wagon version of the legacy should be a far bit heavier than a WRX and furthermore it's auto...

Hmmm.. ok. I stand corrected. Just sharing what I heard the salesman ask my dad. Didn't really bother to ask further because my dad was buying under a company.

Yeah, I am contemplating between the two. 15km/L is not bad already. Is yours auto or manual? Other than FC, I am also looking out for the stability of the car. Seems like Jazz goes bumpy over humps if slightly too fast.

The legacy (be it wagon or the notchback model) IS a heavy car. Coupled with AWD and your auto transmission (putting away the fact that you have a TC as well) - It still drinks. My friend who owns a 02 legacy is already complaining the car has no power
and its too heavy and draggy. But then again, its how heavy footed a driver you are and how well maintained your car is which also contributes to fuel consumption.Right now, I own a TS (manual), which I feel is already good enough, only thing tempting me now is a supersprint tailpipe - that's it :bsmilie: ... my fuel consumption isn't that bad as it seems, just have to watch the gas when i throttle though for boxer engine, you really can get quite addicted to the sound when it purrs ... norm would be around 3-3.5K rpms when changing gears .. i refuel about 1-1.5wks ...
Yup, subaru's engine design won an award... i can't really recall what.

me thinking of getting the I. but do the calculation. not worth. about $10000 more than some other 1.3l to 1.6L CAR. with that money can pump a lot of petrol.

Ooo, thanks. Anyone got comments on Daihatus Terios, a SUV?
pixelArtwork said:
well, mine is the CVT.
well they dont have manual transmission for the singapore market.
but they have it in the australian and US markets but they are 1.8 liters. having test driven both the makes, i think that the latio is more stable compared to the Jazz.
I did not really notice the jazz being bumpy. main dislike would be the ride feels light.
to help you decide, you can check out Mycarforum. Do a search, there were quite a few threads comparing the 2 cars.
IIRC, there was one at hardwarezone too.
but if you intend to "zhng" your ride, go with the jazz coz there are more options for you to play with. ;p

Daihatus Terios is a new model not many people bought it (about $58,900)
I believed all those SUV car fuel consumption is high compare to normal saloon car due to 2/4wheels drive and weight is heavy.
Advantage is seat is tall so that can see far and not afraid of flood bcos of it height. (Big wheel) :thumbsup:
$58,900 can buy mazda 3 liao :think:
