Need some sincere advice , i feel like getting a 8 yr old bravo.
as my Nissan is going to the scrap yard soon , coming from a japanese car owner i couldnt ask for anything better my car never ever break down and servicing/parts are cheap.
Looking at SGcarmart i couldnt help but being tempted in picking up a bravo as it is cheaper than most jap car and it look really sweet.
any idea what to look out for when buying and what are the legit downside of owning a bravo .

Bravo parts are more ex than jap/kor car
Labour also ex
8 yrs old bravo, if previous owner never take good care, probably u will need to change many wear and tear parts

If price is the main factor u looking at, i suggest u dun buy bravo

Auto gear box may have issue if not maintained properly..Fyi..I used to drive a Fiat bravo auto..( mechanised manual gearbox, it's called dual logic ..To Fiat bravo auto owner..It's sometime known as Bo logic gear box..Lol) the gear may start from gear 2 instead of 1 at standstill .. the main issue why I change the car ..Is the coolant somehow got mix with the engine oil..And turns brown.. replacement parts are hard to find.. for servicing I will recommend Innergi at ubi..

for manual, what else to look for since gearbox is not an issue. for remap to 183bhp, which workshop is doing that? autogear box can handle the increase in bhp?
Click to expand...
Auto stock 120bhp
Manual stock 150bhp

I duno where to remap but manual can handle higher
Last time got one owner tune till 200bhp i think but not sure he got change turbo anot

Auto cannot go too high else the wear n tear rate will be faster
Good thing is can buy used stock manual turbo from manual owner
No need change other things, swap can liao, straight become 150bhp
