hope your wish will come true..

that's why i told every Malaysian have a dream to drive Honda

Bro, since ure aware that Malaysian car prices are expensive, all the more reason why VALUE FOR MONEY should be a major consideration. Having something that's value for money doesnt mean it must be cheaper than the rest. It can cost more but also be value for money. Its all about what you get for that price tag. A Vios costs about 80K but is it value for money? Surely not.

Do you know that the manufacturing side always have an opposite thinking than the average consumer like bro? Each year they will strive for the lowest cost and cut cost to lower down the price of the car.

And yet, we keep thinking the car price MUST go up. Gen8 already price up 3x from RM120k if not mistaken. Put in some different design accessory and up the price. The base car it still the same. The torque of the car is still the same. The engine is still the same. So what change?

Does the gen9 better than the gen8? Do the engine have more HP and torque? Does the handling better than the gen8?

This car if not lifestyle. You pay additional RM34k+ stupid tax to the gov. And see this car as an expensive car? The japanese is laughing at me.

why dont we have the configurator like others got outside?
i mean got the basic price and people want what they want then add up la.
then add up sure got price increase
this system may cost more but in the end we pay what we want, and it also can give better definition 'value for money' according to personal specific

market size is a problem? i dont think so.

Well, kinda misleading, not every malaysian, most malaysian prefer Toyota first

since this is Honda thread, so I wanna mislead people..haha

too much customization might not be cost effective.. using many man hours to customize each car, and parts can be oversupply if its not popular or shortage if its over demand, causes a lot of cost inefficiency..

From business point of view, just setting to few variance is enough. But for consumer, we might be over buying things that we dont want.. its all about business and profit bro..

wrong

most Malaysian uncle prefer Toyota first but youngsters and womans would prefer Honda

lousy kia forte isnt value for money car either. its a crappy car, washing machine engine note, poor drive etc, and its for 90k.

say waht u want, it may not be value when u buy new, but when u sell 5 yrs down, in malaysia where u live, honda n toyota holds value 10x better than a korean crap.

i sold my almost 7 yr old fd2 for 85k, bought new 125k. need i say more?

jus bcoz kia chief designer now come from audi, dun dream ur driving an audi now if ur driving a kia kiddo!

and mazda6 over fb? imo, mazda 6 lacks character in drive and definitely under power. u need at least the 2.5 kiddo. 2.0 is bare like milo tin kosong

well said..

myself drive a vios.my friend keeps telling me its a dugong..so do i care?the maintenance of my vios is lower than a proton..never give any trouble..good FC...and most important, my friend will butthurt to see i pocket more than 20k when selling the car next year and get a civic (hopefully lah )

hmm, sounds like you own a forte and had a horrible time on it, mind to share your horrible experience towards the car?

Its only you who assumed that we assumed we're driving an Audi. If u wanna argue, please do so with facts yea?

And btw, i was a Toyota user for 9 years and i have never denied the good resale value or the after sales service standards of Toyota. And even if the Forte isnt as good as an Audi, its still the best value for money 2.0L out there at RM97K.

And since ure talking about being underpowered, im sure u havent test driven the Camry 2.0L and yes i presume the Mazda6 has more character than the Civic eh? LOL! Again, go read the previous posts rather than butting in half way with some half baked replies. Btw, hows Flora Damansara these days?

Added on July 18, 2012, 5:51 pmI got more than 37K when i sold my 9 yr old Vios. Great resale value and good after sales service but was the car worth its 74K price tag? Surely not with the kind of crap specs i got. Plus with that super thin milo body and hard plastics all around, im glad i didnt get into any major accidents.

fd2 7yrs old? and sells at 85k? wow !!

d way u god praise a forte gives d assumption that u feel ur driving an audi. No more to that. Period.

Best value 2.0L is forte. Give u d benefit of doubt (which ur alr most definite wrong), even ur forte is d best value for money NOW, what happens when u sell 5 yrs later? u gonna bleed like a girl menstruating kiddo. money lost then can cover value gained now? Value is perception, but real money lost when u sell then its d real thing. Y are u so less intelligent?

Unless u keep ur forte for 20yrs, then i lose. but not impossible looking at u driving a vios for 9 yrs. 20 yrs is just 9 X 2, + another 2. way to go dude!

Just now mazda 6, now camry, next?

what i drive is my problem. i dun need u to know what i drive.

If u compare even a vios and forte, industry players are not stupid to put a 1.5l car similar price to a 2.0l kiddo.

remember this rule - gd things r not cheap, cheap things are not good.

u have a long long way to go and learn.

sad but true

Typical wannabe mentality. I dont even own a Forte and yet this fool assumes such. Yes for your sake, go on assuming i own a Forte. LOL!

And yes i dont need to make mistakes like owning some silly property in Flora Damansara to learn something about properties. Pity, ure still living in your make believe world. Must be frustrating to actually stand up to all those who have overtaken you in life eh? I think its you who needs to try harder.

orite

jus now mazda 6, then camry now f dsara

y do u keep loving to tok bout property in a car forum? r u serious?

but jus to make u happy, i admit f dsara was the only prop i could afford then. it was 9 yrs back. bought at 118k.

It was not silly, jus i couldnt afford any other props.

story now is diff kiddo.

not here to show off, but just to cement ur less of intelligence. its too obvious that i had to participate and make fun of it

Japanese cars are so good, even before buying the cars people are already thinking about selling them, hence the resale value argument...

that's right..

lat weekend i sawed the cars at tropicanat city mall

jazz hybrid, sexy as usual.

insight, so so nia.

civic hybrid, interesting, as expected for that price range.

if u want a hybrid, but duwan pay 145K, and think that 9XK is too cheap, this car is for you.

Is hybrid worth it?
