I'm just wondering why Mitsubishi Attrage is not popular in Malaysia because I'm considering to get one.

Toyota VIOS and Honda CITY is every where on the road.

Based on the owner review in carbase.com 1.2MIVEC engine with CVT doesn't feel underpower.

Everyone is complaining petrol price increase so we shall consider a petrol saving car. Attrage give average 18km/L (officially 21km/L)

Is it their marketing/advertisment not good?
After sales service not good?
Spare parts very expansive?
User no confident on 1.2MIVEC engine at B-segment car?
Or any other problems?

Any professional come share your opinions on this.

Ya. 3 cylinder in sedan ppl will think it's underpower, but mpst of the owner review at carbase.com say won't really feel it. I think I may test drive it only know.

Power wise I think it is better than Axia since their weight is quite close but Attrage having higher cc

Ugly is also one point

And people will always be like... Add a few more thousand can get more spacious 1.5cc Almera, o wai... I think another few more thousand I can get god car!  rclxms.gif

Tested this car last year.
1) Car is underpower a bit.
2) Steering doesn't center when U turn
3) Engine scream like crazy when tekan. Typical 3 cyclinder engine characteristic. The car loud like my old Savvy.
4) RV no good
5) Discount no good
6) FC wise, City can do 18km/l, up to 21km/l if driven constantly on highway. 15 to 17km/l is possible for Vios/Almera in similar condition. Not much difference.

Given it's almost same price as City, Vios, Almera for the low spec version (just a few K difference).....no wonder it cannot sell.

I was attracted to this car for the price initially, after test driving an consider all factors, doesn't seem so cheap anymore.

I think I will be like you, after test drive won't consider anymore. Ya the owner review also say the engine sound roar when climbing hill.
Actually I get attracted to the push start button and keyless system. Honda City 6th Gen need 80k+ in order to have this features x.x

Seem like the noisy kill everything for non-local car x.x

Actually I'm considering Honda City also but the type I like is RM81k.

RM69k vs RM81k big different huh? x.x

Khairy suggestion tax free for local assembly car will be a big hope for me to get Honda City biggrin.gif
