Bro, my mom bought the 1.8 Sylphy VL, full-spec and she regrets it. I drive the car most of the time and I'm telling you, DO NOT BUY IT.
It is a rip-off to pay so much for an under-performing car, fuel consumption is terrible unless you are doing long distance. The 1.8 is very very under-powered and there is a terrible lag . The car feels extremely flimsy as well on uneven road. I used to have a Latio 1.8, it was way more responsive and comfortable. Furthermore, Nissan's after sale service is terrible.
Sylphy drivers can verify that there is a splashing sound when driving on wet roads. If you want a 1.8 engine car, please look elsewhere, the Sylphy will steal your money. The only reason we havent sold of this hunk of junk is because fuel is paid for or else we would have sold it off. You might wanna consider the Mazda 3.
Just my 2 cents mate.
