Yes u are right Bro,
H & T very good in resell.
Last 07/2011 my bro he bought Altis
RM132K (took out discount & insurance RM6k) RM126K
Done 33,000km & last week he sold RM91K (still in the process Puspakom)
126k-91K = RM35K/30 mths (RM1,166)
My friend bought Mazda 3 (RM120K) excluding insurance, sold 10/2012 at RM80K
RM120K-RM80K = RM40/18 = RM2,200
Actually I wanted to wait for fresh Gen 9 (FB) bcoz Gen 8 (launched end 2005), many years
When Thailand launched (I shock to see City Head & Persona Tail), I then decided to get Gen 8 FL
At that moment Sept 2012, many people still place an order for Gen 8 FL
Culturally, end of life cycle should be huge discount (like CRV RM13K off, Altis RM12K off)
Gen 8 FL, 0 discount
In fact we are Not sure can get it or not bcoz many people still asking for Gen8 (due to Thailand website of Gen 9)
I drive Gen8FL for about a year (done, below 19,000km)
Everytime I send to SC, many Honda staffs, including SA was offering to buy
According to SA, the demands for Gen8FL is very hot & hard to sell FB (failure in demands)
Sorry, not intent to insult FB users, but this is what happened
According to SA & many of my friends, Gen 8 very successful in design bcoz very long life cycle (2005-2012) 7 years in the market without changing the model (structure) & yet new FB also cant win people heart.
The demands for Gen 9 still great (never happened in the human history, except Saga 1985-2005 (20 years) or Wira 1992-2008 (16 years) but that is a national targeted lower end for those has got no choice).
Honestly, I never put HONDA in my heart or in my head (hahaha)
I really don't like this brand of H bcoz of many reasons.
In Japan, many of Japanese appreciating Toyota & proud of T (many reasons)
I normally ll buy a car with a fresh design, not end of life cycle but it happened TERBALIK....
What should I say is, I always lie to myself that FD is ugly
No matter how ugly I say to myself & my friends, lie is lie & always lies
Finally the reality is I ending with owning Honda Civic Gen 9
I really like the design even though it is expired design
I like the performance of 2.0 iVtec with Twin Cam
Lower position, when I inside the car, people can't see me easilly from out side
But when u talk about Comfort, I don't really feel that Comfort compared to Altis
I experience once as Vios 2010 passanger, suprisingly I feel the comfort even though that is B segment
I dont really feel that i my FD, C segment
Now I am thinking to convert to type R or Mugen RR
Acc shop told me, the advantage of Gen 8 is a transformer, can chance to Type R or Mugen RR with a budget abt RM2K (RM2K can make a new toy from out side) but FB cannotlah.... dissadvantage
Now I say to myself, may be this is the 1st & the last I drive Honda
Next round should switch back to T brand for comfort & better design (affordable price)
Even though Mazda 3 skyactiv is my lover but worry about resell
May be if I am rich enough, I get C200 lah.....

but do some flashback, my own family owning a civic FD2 2.0 and i'm waiting for the civic FB hybrid... the FD was bought on 2006, let me remind you... how hard is honda try to persuade ppl that FD2 is good looking... when i ask my mom to buy the FD2 at 2006, my whole family simply can't accept the rear lamp... and saying the front lamp a bit like peanut... same goes to me... the looks of FD2 in 2006 really quite different when compare to 2006 same segment cars... but slowly, more n more youngsters getting this car and ppl start to accept it...
i don't know what's going wrong in FB, but IMO... it is a step up from honda... i can see the effort that honda put in to make this car become a family sedan rather than a sport sedan... FB is definitely more comfort but handling lose to FD2 by not much... you just can't have the best from both world...
and yet, the front of civic claimed to be looks like city, because city is already few years on the road, and it makes the FB looks identical to it especially the front grill... i have no comment on it but i think the car is there for a reason and the longer i look at the car from front to rear... the more i think it is acceptable... guess what? my dad n mom say FB is better looking than FD2... i was stunned... so u get my point what honda is trying to do?
just my RM0.02...
