this little tyke was our companion for a foray into clementi for food tonight. Highway trawls are comfortable and the 660cc turbocharged 3-cylinder engine is more than adequate to cruise with ease in this lightweight kei-car.
the styling is cute and compact and really embodies the japanese culture: innovative packaging, thoughtful ergonomics and kawaii styling. It even seats 5 with ease and is unique enough on our roads. what more can you ask for in the S$50k price segment?
don't listen to morons who insist on perpetuating inaccuracies involving the inadequacies of sub-1Litre cars to hustle with any urgency. Acceleration is brisk enough and anoraks might like to know that the iCar is rear-wheel drive and features a rear mounted engine (just like Porsche 911s and the original VW Beetle). it's the ideal city runabout on the busy urban streets of downtown singapore.
Tanglin Halt Western Food was our target, so it was a bummer to find it closed when we got there. We headed over to the Clementi branch of Botak Jones instead to satisfy our western food cravings.
Short queue, but when it was our turn to order, we were rather brusquely told that inexplicably enough, they had run out of buns, so all burger meals would come without buns. Oh well, fish and chips comes in a close second i guess...
this is a montage created with pictures from an earlier iCar photoshoot.
