a bit expensive for 82k....... top up 8k can get city premium spec...

eventho u top up for another 8k for city premium, in terms of spec forte still better, bigger
the differences is only the badge lol and ppl's mindset

hmmm ...at 82 k I would rather go for the city. With a city :

- peace of mind, well proven and reliable platform - peace of mind as well, 5 star safety crash rating
- honda has a better after sales service record - couldnt agree more than that
- parts availability is better - is the same if u have tons of proton cars floating on the road, hence the more parts u will get
- second hand value - no doubt about it
- fuel efficiency - of course cause its lighter? and its a b-segment

all at a 4 - 8 K premium depending on spec.

The only way Naza could tempt me is a sub 80K priced car.

nice car at a wrong price and wrong name. Expected 1.6 full spec about rm65k-70 as AMERICA is selling 2.0sx at 14999usd which = rm50k like that..
*
lol i wish that is true... but according to one kia sales person he told me its 75k above worrrr (not sure can trust or not la his word)
but i seriously hope its at sub 70k

Probably a typo. It says 4 speed auto in the spec list above while the paragraphs state 5 speed. Chances are it'll come with the 4 speed auto instead, as the 5 speed variant is for 2.4SX available in North America.

It also says CBU however judging from how Naza does their business it is likely to be CKD to keep the price low. Maybe this seller has some lobang to bring in limited stock of CBU?
*
hmmmm it could be CBU, cause i managed to talk to one of the salesperson from kianaza and he did tell me that the first batch will be CBU (limited units tho) just only they will list there as CKD

CBU means imported
CKD = local assembly

true la... but i'm ok with that...
the stock is already here for long... what to do..
hopefully they have launching promotion.. give super discount... and low interest...

burgerlim: true.. i'm more confident for the CBU units... rather than CKD le..

laugh.gif super discount and low interest? i damn hope sooooooo but i doubt it will happen
yup, CBU will be better than CKD of course
