Selfie here, selfie there, selfie everywhere. I’m pretty sure that your fb and instagram newsfeeds get flooded with all these selfies from friends sometimes which, by looking at it, gives you either (depending on your mood) a pleasant day because it transcends a wow feeling or brings you an annoying look in face because it exudes nothing but awful close-up, duck face shots of different angles that repeatedly trends on your wall. However, there’s this one “selfie” that no matter how bad your day is, it would still provide you a delightful experience. This comes in a global compact car named NISSAN SYLPHY.
I was one of those considered lucky to be invited to take a joyride with a dear friend who bragged about how comfortable and enjoyable it is to drive a NISSAN SYLPHY. Excited, I hurriedly said my biggest YES. With all the excitement I felt, I strongly believe that there’s this need to share to you my journey on the road. So, for those who are eager to own one, here are the things you ought to know…
Exterior
With global Nissan design trait, Sylphy looks dashing with its arrow-shaped headlights, six LED accent lights upfront. With gorgeous horseshoe-shaped lamps and a LED lighting design at the back, believe me, most of the people we passed by had turned their heads! Whoa! For more personal and fun experience, this model is available in five different colors in the shades of aspen white, ebony, deep iris gray, brilliant silver, and grayish bronze.
Interior
Sylphy is engineered to match with executive sedans in terms of size as it adopts a theater-style seating. All throughout the ride, I never banged my knees as the front is 4-mm lower than the rear occupants creating more knee room at the back. Soft-touch materials are keenly applied across all areas of the cabin. The dashboard, door arm rest, centre console are all made up with smooth materials. Moreover, the air conditioning and ventilation are impressive which for me, are important things to combat this tropical weather. I would say, Nissan did great in selecting the right materials.
Engine
With a more fuel-efficient and more advanced engine, Sylphy has either a 1.8L MRA8DE or 1.6L HR16DE engine, and can deliver flawless transition, higher torque at lower engine speeds and wide gear ratio resulting to smoother acceleration, better fuel economy and lower maintenance costs. Reliable is the best adjective to describe the engine.
The ride turned out to be so relaxing. It was an absolutely smooth, fun experience that having another adventure like this is something I look forward to during weekdays or after a stressful day at work. As what I have mentioned earlier, this kind of Sylphy is designed to provide comfort, confidence and stability amidst all the pressures we face. My verdict: Its combination of stylish and dynamic design, premium space and quality, as well as efficient engine and transmission are the right mixture for the market’s needs. Go, get one now!
