QUOTE(digitheatre @ Mar 13 2013, 11:47 PM) yeah right.. refined driving of the civic.. I used to own FD civic ..paid 120k and get Melaka made tin kosong ..sound proof terrible like driving proton and the famous common problem with the steering rack .. so much for the refined driving of japs car.. that time sometimes jealous with forte owners..paid lot less and get to enjoy all the features that civic don't have next time.. I'll make sure the car I buy worth every penny spent  Indeed, the FD civic was notorious for it's lack of soundproofing. But you're still talking about a car that was launched in 2006 and competition then was non-existent. Newer cars will always be safer (usually) and come with more features la. No point trying to compare your ride with something that come out years after that.

QUOTE(khusyairi @ Mar 14 2013, 10:29 AM) Yes there is a value for money Csegment car at that time. It's a Lancer GT which launch at 110K price which almost 20K cheaper than 2.0 civic FD & slightly lesser price from 1.8 civic (which tin kosong) It's also CBU japan plus full bodykits, 18"rims etc. Unfortunately, 6months-1year waiting list. But to be fair, the Lancer did launch in 3rd quarter of 2007. The Civic FB was first introduced in 2005 then later launched in our region in the earlier part of 2006. It's till a year apart difference. But I agree, it was a very value for money offering. If I recall, nappa leather seats, paddle shifters, cruise control were all standard equipment.

QUOTE(kcng @ Mar 14 2013, 09:50 PM) the civic FD is launched around june 2006 about the same time as the launching of the satria neo... tit for tat... both the mitsu and the civic 2.0 has their own pros and cons... the lancer main selling point is full import from japan (placebo effect as in everything CBU is god especially in malaysia  ) at a lower price compared to the higher spec-ed but more expensive 2.0 civic FD... hehe actually the first lancer batch did not come with cruise control... only the lancer EX (lower spec vs GT) version did and when the lancer EX version is discontinued, the Lancer GT soldier on but with some product revision done from time to time like cruise control, retractable side mirror, running lights, reverse camera slowly added to the kit list... More than 1 year apart though. Enough for the competition to really up their game. But if I do recall, it was also a period where Mitsubishi took a huge hit to their reputation with the vehicle defect cover-up. Sales also plummeted for them during those years.
