If you're buying car in the next few years

[kyokoto]

Unless hybrid give you more power etc but the cat A also stuck at detuned 130bhp. Else need go cat B

No diff for me because I'm just looking at Cat A.

Got toddler ? Consider the crossover SUV ?

3 kids, just nice, no toddler. Nah, SUV too exp. I bought at $138k leh.

 

[mryongtan]

buy ICE in 2029, can use for 10 years.

 

[Mystyque]

Will you wait and see or ?
Will you consider EV or ?

Will buy hybrid just to tick the stupid no-pure-ICE checkbox by LTA.

 

[Philipkee]

should be around 2027-2028 start to fall then peak at 2029-2030 cos last time coe hit 30k was around 2018-2019

and before that 2 dollar coe was around 2008

Unless US stock market triggers a recession first

buy car... either you buy it now ..or don.t

[dev_stg_prd]

Mine going to expire a few years more , so that's why research and test drive a bit already. Else Scully tmr coe drop a lot, dunno what to buy

What is bo bua? You buy a pure ICE now, it's like buying a house with 5 years left.

People will start to lowball you soon.

If you willing to drive 10 years then ok. But anytime you want to sell, it's literally no market from now on.

Get a mild hybrid at least. Or a pre-owned ICE now then before 2030 can find some pre-owned conti ICE cars to lowball.

but.. a car is not something very complicated.
just based on your budget..
select the models you like.
compare features.
buy.

You also need to test drive. Easily will eat up quarter day. At most can test 2 a weekend

I already ev 2 weeks back due to scraping my 20yrs old car!

Range anxiety and charging isn't as bad or what you all think..

At the moment most chargers are idling waiting for customer to plug in... Singapore how big only anyway.

But I won't say ev is for everyone... You have to change your entire usage habit and to anticipating.. even if in the most emergency cases.. you can go to any 50-100kwh DC chargers to juice up in 10mins.
