i own one...

30k...u probably dun have much choices especially if u wanna buy one fast... most are above 30k

unless ur willing to wait n slowly find one that suits u n ur budget.

there are those under ur budget but without B series VTECs..

as for versions.....doesnt really matter... of course the preferred one is the EG6... but finding an original EG6 is difficult. but converted ones are good too.....so in terms of versions... it really doesnt matter that much

maintenance is basically the same as every other car...regular servicing etc n the car will serve u well. however, it is an old car.. so there will be wear n tear issues. but once u get them solved.. shouldnt be a problem. spare parts availability is abundance... some parts can even get brand new if u know where to look.

theft list...yes unfortunately. though not as bad as Satria GTi....but its not just down to EG Hatches....alot of Honda's are getting stolen lately... as for security, do wat u need to do.. some people even remove their ECUs from the car every time they get out of the car. but basically just be mindful of where u park and take necessary security measures
*
Theft wise, strongly agree... And surprisingly now City is hot on the list ahead of CRV and Civic for new car.

dear sifus, i am planning to buy a 2008 honda civic 1.8. could any one of you sifus pls advice me on what i need to know before buying it? for example when compared to for instance honda city :

1) whats the maintenance cost like?
2) the FC of the car.
3) other advantages/disadvantages of the 2008 model civic.

Please help me out. This is my first time buying a car  sweat.gif
*
1) Maintenance you can refer to Honda Malaysia website (www.honda.com.my)

2) FC for 1.8 is around 11-13KM/L for mixed driving.

3) Check all those pillars, and most importantly steering issues.

Flush actually every 60-80K is fine... And for better performance, you can use Honda ATF Z1 Ultra..

roughly how much cost for the flushing ? how many liters of ATF oil required? i just bought 4l for coming major service..
now thinking whether wana flush it or not.... pls advice. icon_question.gif
*
4 Litre not enough for flushing, but enough for just changing... Flushing at least bring 2 cans which in 8 litres.

Want to ask, currently driving FD1

When change gear to climb hill, let's say put in gear "2", the gear remain at gear 2 or change between 1 - 2 ?
*
The transmission will only use gear 1 and gear 2...

bros, i noticed my gear shift panel light (the P R N D) is no longer illuminated at night.
i suspect burned fuse, but from the manual, i can't find the respective fuse location.
anybody kind to share some experience?

Socket behind meter got longgar? Fuse wise it should be all under driver side aircond vent
