Well, although I cannot make up my mind to buy this M6 yet, I can't stop admiring it and think of buying it. I have to say that I've never followed up with any car so much. I guess I'll continue to follow up with this forum, no ending, even if I'm not buying one for myself. Hope you all don't mind. I enjoy the discussion so much. I really like the concept and design of this M6. 2 reasons for me not buying one: (just sharing) 1. 2.5L is a bit too expensive IMOH. The price is not well justified. 2. 2.0L doesn't look complete. End up, not getting it due to these reasons, unless I decided to just go ahead with 2.5L without thinking too much. But the fact is I can't neglect the above 2 points. Anyway, congratulations to all new Mazda6 owners. You've got a very nice car. Everyone will envy you. Sadly, car prices looks like it will remain that way. The only complete looking car now is the KIA K5. Don't expect the Accord 2.0 to be well equipped either. If you look at the price trend now: B segment -> edging towards 100k, high 80k to 90k is looking to be the norm. Even the KIA Rio is moving itself into the 80k region. Only the most kosong spec will still retain the under 80k price. C segment -> edging towards 135k. Again, the exception to this is the KIA Forte, but everything else is slowing moving upwards D segment -> All high end specs are now in the 180k region and going into the 190k region. Even the Sonata high spec is now sitting in the middle half of the 170k region. The entry spec now begins around 150k except for the KIA K5. The way car prices are going now, it's getting crazy.

On my way Senior Member 512 posts Joined: Jan 2003	QUOTE(fadzly @ Mar 26 2013, 04:58 PM) Y does the f30 looks like a d segment car? A lot of continental cars are smaller than they look. The A4 is a large car on paper but the interior is small. The W204 Mercedes C class is the same as well.

On my way Senior Member 512 posts Joined: Jan 2003	QUOTE(fadzly @ Mar 26 2013, 06:55 PM) Didnt answer my question. My question is why does an f30 looks larger like a d segment? But nevermind. Neoy already stated the f30 is shorter than the m6 Coz it's wider and lower? and the bonnet hump there also lends the illusion? Also the angle of the camera shot? LOL

On my way Senior Member 512 posts Joined: Jan 2003	There's a value added and luxury option for the CRV to address the bare bones problem. I expect they will do the same for the new Accord. Right now only continentals have a chance of denting the sales of the new Camry. But that's also hard unless more promos are thrown in. It's not going to be the Mazda 6 if they can't supply more units to their customers. So between last year till the launch of the new Accord later this year, Toyota has got a huge headstart against all its Japanese rivals. If the new Accord launches by the 3rd quarter of this year, it's already going to be year end and Toyota can further do some variation to their Camry to keep things competitive for 2014.

On my way Senior Member 512 posts Joined: Jan 2003	I think it boils down to price and kit offered. The top of the line Accord should at least match the new Mazda 6 on kit I think, but at what price? Either way, the reason you buy an Accord isn't so much for the kit but for the convenience. This is the primary selling point of the Camry as well. Reliable, reliable, reliable, accessible, accessible, accessible.

On my way Senior Member 512 posts Joined: Jan 2003	Off topic: According to an article from Cars & Drivers - The new Earth-Dreams Honda 2.4L Accord can do 0 to 100 in 6.6s on a 6 speed manual transmission... CVT numbers are in the 7.7s range. That's a really crazy number for such a big car. If you see one on the road in the future, be sure to give way, lol!

On my way Senior Member 512 posts Joined: Jan 2003	CVT numbers still pretty damn good - 7.7s I looked at the dyno charts online, the new K24W2 engine is really quite impressive and is even better than the K24Z3 (2008 model engine). Too bad the ED technology hasn't filtered down to the 2.0L engine and 1.8L engine yet, it should also produce some good numbers when it does. EDIT 1: Looks like those numbers might not be happening for the Accords in our region as it uses K24W4 with lower compression ratio and power output, lol!

Sakit tangan. Correct. 2.0 not affected That's a CC. I drive a Passat. Mechanically the same, but outlook totally different. That CC cost between 50k to 70k more than my car. LOL!

On my way Senior Member 512 posts Joined: Jan 2003	QUOTE(calvin_gsc @ Mar 28 2013, 03:40 PM) If only the CC came with a turbocharged 2.0 engine. Sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake not going for the CC. To be frank, the more I look at it, the more I like how it looks. The Passat is a logical buy The CC is a passionate buy That's what I think right now.

You give her a LV or Chanel handbag, they'd be happier

On my way Senior Member 512 posts Joined: Jan 2003	QUOTE(fadzly @ Mar 30 2013, 12:47 PM) Sorry. Butfor me, I felt like a bit slow in response. Maybe we should opted for fully synthetic. Need to top up some money. Or changing to ron 97 It all depends on the synthetic engine oil formulation. RON97 may help because the skyactiv engine is designed to make use of premium quality fuel. However, there are dyno charts that proves the difference between Ron95 and Ron97 is so small, it's really not worth paying that extra money.

On my way Senior Member 512 posts Joined: Jan 2003	QUOTE(calvin_gsc @ Mar 30 2013, 06:04 PM) Locktech (Thailand) comes with relay/socket? While the local Locktact doesn't? You're a buddy of kindman? How you know? You're right. It does have a relay socket. There's a few people on the FB Civic facebook group that installed this. None of them actually said anything about having anything cut. Even the installers also didn't say anything about needing to cut anything.

On my way Senior Member 512 posts Joined: Jan 2003	QUOTE(calvin_gsc @ Mar 30 2013, 06:35 PM) If it does have a relay socket, means it does disable the ignition if not unlocked. Not just a mere "brake lock" or as you phrase it "old school pedal lock". You're right. I was thinking about something else until I went to look at it again. All of them in the Civic group installed lock-tech. So if this locktact is the same thing, then it should work the same. Actually, you want to know how it works, simply contact the shops like etoni car accessories to get your answer. Tel: 03-91326818 / 016-4411601

On my way Senior Member 512 posts Joined: Jan 2003	[quote=blu3,Apr 1 2013, 07:41 AM] [quote=calvin_gsc,Mar 31 2013, 11:52 PM] I've only done 3 fuelups and so far going at 8.7L/100km for 2.5. RM0.165/km (average) [r/quote] Really save fuel. Mine is 10L/100km, currently [/quote] Depends on traffic conditions and where you drive also la. The 320i should come with an automatic engine stop. If I remember, you will barely notice it when the engine shuts itself off. That was the case when I tested the 320d. And it was also the case when I tested the Golf Mk7 last week. The i-stop engine restart in the Mz6 is noticeably obvious.
