Topic: Suitable Platform

[ero]

New Vios? Meter`s at the centre.... A Pillars are quite wide ,which doesn`t have any obstruction on its way though... Quite large boot... Even can put a relatively sub box at the rear passanger seat floor which is flat all the way. (if you`re not planning to fetch more than 1 ppl with your car) 

Only 2 thing doesn`t good about this car... Only....

First, which is the sound insulation...  The engine, when it revs up to 3200. Noise came in. The road noise (on highway tarmac/concrete) (which can be extra insulated)  Wind`s drag noise is acceptable when on 110km/h.

Secondly, rear suspension is a bong.... (Need to change) Which is an big factor to us which will probably fit an big sub woofer box and dazzling gadgets of our precious amp, eq or maybe 2nd battery at the boot... 

When you load up 2 adults at the back passanger seat... Nightmare comes... If you`re driving on the road seeing a new Vios fetching 3 adults or whatever which fits all the space at the back passanger seat... DON`T LAUGH your ass off!

no worry, used to drive vios. I know how and what it feels.
BTW cefiro seems to be a good choice; as cefiro used to be known to be low NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness); The engine seems very stable. There was a marketing cliche during the 90's that engineer used to mount half filled wine glass stick it to the engine of cefiro and drove the cefiro up to 90 km/h an found out that the glass still consist water. I do not know wether this is true or not since this is a cliche I heard way back ago. Probably some of you ever heard about it. By the way, since now cefiro marque being replace by Teana, I do not know whether those nissan designers & engineers still carry this low NVH feats into the new teana. I read the review that this Teana is very calm, gentle & comfortable, very statement like. Teana might be a better full size sedan platform for ICE.
