No more 2.0L for they new tech 1.8L more fuel efficient than older 2.0L with higher 200mn torque anymore

Dunno how much enjoy for my each times ride



Quiet and foot brake and more spacious

How much you sold your sylphy for? Why you sell it?
There are a lot of used sylphy in the market, with the price as low as 60k for a 3-4yrs old car which i am considering as well. Lower than equivalent T and H cars asked for.

Do you change to Civic?

Read few review from Australia..the new sylphy got low score in handling department...even lose out to Kia Forte.

if not mistaken comparison betweeen New Sylphy/Civic/Mazda 3/Forte Cerato/Dodge Dart in one of online auto review in Australia.

so is this car worth considering?

i have booked a city V spec but after test driving the sylphy, i am keen to go for this instead, high spec 125k.

not sure worth the 35k extra... for a bigger different segment car

what is the fuel consumption like?

Altis 1.8 vs Sentra 1.8 @ Taiwan

Performance : so so cause both used 1.8L with CVT
Handling : Sentra
Material interior : Sentra
Seats : Sentra used more soft leather and back supporting quite well.
Suspension : Sentra
Navi : Sentra
Fuel : Altis
Steering wheel : sentra can feel more comfort for all time.
Noise : Both after comments like at behind window can't close as fit, you might try to close it at all
Sporty : Altis
Deluxe : Sentra

Note for important thing : Altis can't well perform like climb up genting road condition, unlike sentra/Sylphy suspension can feel more soild, won't be too dangerous ride.

In malaysia
Altis 2 airbags with VCS
Sylphy : 6 airbags with VDC
Auto cruise : sylphy with std packaged
Sylphy : 16 & 17" rim for std packaged

i am a proud owner of the previous gen, and the new one looks promising, however the handbrake upsets me totally.

hi guys,

i just testdrive sylphy this morning. It's my first time driving CVT transmission car.
Just wondering is it normal that the engine bit jerky on low speed. Like when i pedal more, engine rev a lot but doesn't really pick up. Salesman told me it's CVT characteristics.
After pickup the speed then seems ok and smooth driving.

Is this normal for CVT?

Ya. Didn't feel the jolt when accelerate. Feel a bit weird actually.
But my concern is when I first drive the car, it rev very high, like need power to move that car. After that, it's smooth all the way.
It is very quiet and comfy car, for sure. The car can absorb shocks from uneven road very well too.

I also tested Civic 2.0 this week and I personally feel Sylphy has better soundproofing. The interior in Civic is more plastic than Sylphy.

My personal opinion.

Pros:
1. good NVH
2. Safety feature - 6 airbags.
3. Spacious

Cons:
1. The position of handbrake is more towards passenger side. I believe this design is for left-hand drive.
2. Low spec fabric seat, emm.. just don't quite like it. Ask if there's option to upgrade to leather seat, salesman said no.
3. The aircond dial controller. OMG, it's back to the future to 80s!!

Anyway, i already place my booking for high-end spec. 

i had a test drive yesterday.. at Nissan Shah Alam..

From what the SA told me..
- Launching of Sylphy wasn't really TC plan.. They were focusing more towards the Teana launching but somehow they decided to launch this first..
- 1.8 VL will only be available in July onwards, be it the selling unit or the test drive unit.
- At this moment, TC has received 400 orders (excluding orders made yesterday), so big chances you can be the first 1000, which will be entitled for solargard free tinting..

From my test drive..
- 1st impression.. Interior is damnn hugeeeeeeeeee....
- I broght my wife and daughter along, just to check hows the space. After i adjusted my seat, i realized that rear space behind me is freaking spacious.. You can put a crt monitor there literally..
- No chance to floor the paddle.. So i cant comment on its acceleration and stability at high speed..
- No chance to test sharp cornering either.. so no comment about the slightly bode roll people been saying about..
- Sport mode is a selling point. It serves its function. Unlike the overdrive mode in any other car, this is different in a way the gear will shift up / down.. Overdrive will stick in same gear.
- I like the feeling when you press the sport button.. It rev really from 2000rpm to 4000rpm at once. Not sure about the FC in this mide though..
- Cabin was quiet. Both brother in law are driving camry and the new altis, and it is safe to say this car is better in sound insulation.. Tyre noise is noticable, but at a very very very reasonable level.

Aesthetic:
- Design was uncle kind.. but to serve a loan for 9 years, i rather have a full uncle kind and not like altis which have uncle from rear n ah beng from in front..
- I dont like the manual AC dial in the E variant. VL variant auto AC suit the dashboard design better..
- Some of you may notice, the gap between the door and the dashboard when the door is closed. its quite obvious.
- Rear boot space claimed to be 510L, but with the odd shape inside it, it think the space in altis is better. And if you have chance to have a look, try to touch the rear boot side cover, its loose to me..

I have actually went to Honda yeaterday to check out civic, after finish with Nissan. When i first went into the car, I completely understand what people is fuss about The interior is soooo plasssticccccc... unlike Altis or Nissan..

I havent decide which one to go, ,maybe will go for few more test drive first.. But at this point, despite few things that didnt meet my expectation, I will say that Nissan Sylphy 1.8 is better than Toyota Altis 1.8. Honda Civic 1.8 is out of the league..

Why not consider Fluence? Similar drivetrain to previous Sylphy, but it's a conti with great service.

will the bodykit look nice on the new sylphy or keep it clean as original?

after lots of comparison... the sylphy is one of the best buy car ... but cant understand why the sales r low... but have to wait a month n see how many floods the road.

Bro as what you pay and what you get..

I clouldn't found civic & Altis comes with 6 airbag???

Ya. It does.. but am ok with it.

Btw guys, yesterday I was driving on a wet road, I realized the splashing sound from rear tyre pretty loud, as though I didn't shut my door tight.

Anyone notice it?

Haha. Me 2. I infact stopped in the rain to see if my doors were shut or tire fell off. 😆. Need 2 do wheel arch sound proofing.

Today after washing the car

1. All windows have some kind of gum mark inside the tint.  Not bubbles. Maybe need to claim tint warranty. Workmanship problem?  Can be seen clearly undersunlight.. open the door better view.

2. Rear windows got terrible watermark stain. Can see under sunlight. Lucky I tried using the glass compound n its gone. 👍

Apart from all this... the car is superb. I am eying on the teana too.

tried with other car before, same also.

My family owns 2001 sentra n16 XE, 13 years already. When one of the SA say it can be traded in for 22k, we decided to switch it for sylphy 1.8vl.

Current quotation given to me:
- rebate 4k
- free impul body kit (if don't want u get another 2k rebate, but the rear spoiler is standard)
- free solar gard armor coat worth rm1600

Given the specs of VL plus free tint, it deal good enough. However the audio system looks ok, why not complete it with 2din at once and enjoy thereafter?

Optional accessories:
- Navi 2 package with 6.5" 2 din gps, trunk tray, pedal metal, door floor LED panel, window roof for rm3.8k
- 6.5" 2 din gps for rm3.3k

I decided to reject the impul body kit for rm2k rebate to get the 2 din at rm1.3k. How would you advise?

1)  Add rm1.8k for the whole package?
2)  Save the rm2k for aftermarket 2 din?
3)  Proceed, Nissan 2 din gooding enough.

But one thing I notice on the brochure is that impul body kit is priced at rm3k. The SA emphasised it's rm2k rebate. Any of you got different feedback?

Also what is the advised aftermarket 2 din?

Hope you owners can enlighten me on repeating the Nissan purchase after the very well service and drive enjoyment the N16 provided me for 13 years.

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.
