Hey guys wanna have your opinion .Im 22 this year and i earn 3k+ montly .ive no commitment just my room rental. Parent also didnt give.After calculate and minus few allowance from company i still have 2.5k left. the balance just for my daily meal.let say i use 1k per month for eat+few shopping,still 1.5k left.btw petrol and tol already deduct from my allowances.

Im very interst in this car,calculate with 10 percent dp and 9 years loan around 1.3k montly. Its is a good idea or not ?

nope.... save your money for the future.. buy a house or something... you need to pay about 300-400 for servicing every 2-3 months... you need to pay 2000+ for insurance per year = about 200 per month....
you need to change your tyres every 2 yrs... about 1500... so about 100 amonth...
then you need to wash car etc... so end up maybe 50 a month...
add up, u needa bout 400 Per month for maintenance... so your pay... cannot afford the car
*
It's not wise to use 43% of ur monthly salary to pay car instalment. And yup, u havent include other expenses for the car - maintenance, car wash, bodykit, insurance, etc. U should probably go for cars lower than RM100k. As gunplakk said, since you are young, it is better to buy house (asset) rather than a car (liability) which is depreciating.

I know, the Z is so hot n sexy but u need to be careful on ur budget. U might get the car now, enjoy the glamour but later u might struggle hard to buy a house. Better plan for ur future with sufficient savings.

Anyone can advise on the above?

Honda Malaysia
Click Maintenance on the left. But pls bear in mind actual service and maintenance cost is most likely higher than what is stated there

Hey yo~!

Just got my Honda CR-Z at month ago,
One thing would like to ask:
Did you ever speed you CR-Z over 150KM/h?
Will you smell something?
or.. what's going on actually..
*
Yes, some ppl even reach 200km/h. U might smell something because of the carbon filter for the air con. Some ppl switch to paper filter

That's a good deal  smile.gif

Another thing to ask the owners here: How is the blind spot affecting you? When changing lanes and especially when parking and reversing from a parking spot?
*
Changing lanes no prob. Reverse from parking is difficult. Have to reverse slowly and see any oncoming cars

You mean the blind spot is blocking your view when reversing? Any way around this?
*
No way around this cause the rear part of the car is designed that way. So just have to do reverse parking whenever possible. unless install rear or side view camera

shocking.gif Will the reverse camera solve this problem totally? Or at least it will be great help I guess. Even the MMC version does not come with a reverse camera right?
*
Not sure cause I never install it

Quick question,

Is it hard to drive the CRZ Manual? Never own a manual car before or a hybrid..looking into getting one

Same like driving any other manual car except the auto-stop can be annoying sometimes

for me personally .. its worth every single penny that i have paid.. even during my time there was not rebate..

i do travel alone at most of the times.. for for the rear seats it does not worry me much.. as i do not need to ferry my friends for makan time.. instead i ferry with their cars.. haha..  tongue.gif

for now my best FC could be with 38 liters i did travel close to 900kms.. (no mods made then).. with mods.. i still manage to get close to 750kms per full tank.. you only need to manage your right leg to be very gentle..  icon_rolleyes.gif

and if ur a mad car modder.. there's tons of options for you to go with.. SC/TC/or even NA that can push same power as a stage one SC..  brows.gif  brows.gif

900km?? Better than Toyota Hybrids. How to achieve that? notworthy.gif

Its hybrid feature to save fuel. When u are in traffic jam, ur car stops, then it will automatically shut down the engine and the aircon until u start moving again.
