Buying a car in Singapore

Buying a car is not a necessity to me but a convenience, especially since the birth of my son. I am now seriously thinking of buying one or joining a car sharing scheme like Honda Dirrac. Scratch head*

So far I have shortlisted Toyota Vios, Toyota Altis, Honda City and Honda Jazz. I will most probably go for the Off Peak Car Scheme as I will only use the car on weekday evenings, weekends and public holidays. Was happily looking around until a good friend of mine reminded me that I need a MPV if my whole family were to go out at once.... (My parents,grandma,wife,baby son and myself!)

Will have to look around again...will update when I have a new shortlist... Meanwhile got to look around at the car loan packages...

Go for a car-sharing scheme.

Since it is more for leisure, got to save more on insurance, fuel, parking!

Yes, car sharing is a good idea. I would have gone for that if the car port is located near my home.

MPVs like Kia Carens are value for money. If u hv a little bit more, Toyota Wish is also worth considering.
