"The last MG 3 became Australia’s cheapest car in December 2023, when Kia introduced a facelifted version of its Picanto which brought a wealth of standard safety features but a higher price tag.
While the base 2023 Picanto S manual started at $16,290 before on-road costs or $18,890 drive-away, the new base 2024 Picanto Sport manual rings up at $17,890 before on-roads ($20,690 drive-away)."

Spore has COE. If remove that component I think just the car price depending on brand and model are competitive.

One will need around $ 75 to $100 per day to own and drive a car in Singapore. With that kind of money, one can go on holiday overseas at least once a year and get to use Grab when needed.
Omi.. Thank you for bumping up the message.

In Sg, public transport is very convenient.
No need to own car!
In your beloved Australia, public transport is like sai! And, parking charges in cities like Sydney, Melbourne, etc are sky high!!!
