ill just answer the real talk bit....
technically depending on the amount of your commitments, you might be able to afford one.... but frankly speaking, if things do go badly wrong, it will be very tight for you.... why take the chance?

if you like this, cause of its looks, well this particular car is on the verge of ahbengness (my 2 sen sahaja... im a frim believer that a car should look as fast as it can go), all looks no go. if you want an fd due to its performance, i shall redirect you to the inspira, u save more, you get more performance

*another thing to note is, hold off buying one of these for a while, i think its value will depreciate further once the new civic is launched and starts to run about....

I know, some of the kits make the car look so ahbeng.
I don't know, design wise, i prefer this generation rather than the newer ones (2012 and above).

I guess ill hold on to my iswara till the prices drop then. Never considered the Inspira, tho it is a handsome car.
Nothing will sway my feelings for the FD looks. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the advice. For practicality purposes, I dont think a hatchback would fit me as i prefer roomier cars (i tend to carry around a lot of stuff) and plenty of legroom ( i have long legs).

2013 Nissan X-Gear Nismo Edition - This is the Nissan Crossover, you can consider a car like this because although for all intents and purposes it is a C-segment car in terms of space, the platform was designed for a MPV (Grand Livina) but for the X-Gear it has been shorten from a 7 seater to 5 seater thus it is slightly lighter but still provide lots of room space. Livina, X-Gear and Latio share a common engine and gearbox arrangement with slight different between the models (e.g. Livina is tuned more for pickup due to extra weight, while Latio's are tuned for mid to top-end speeds), but since they have many things that are compatible you don't need to worry about parts availability and price -- usually very cheap even the Nissan originals. Although the Latio has a high roof compared to cars like Civic the X-Gear is even taller due to its MPV/Crossover body so it is more comfortable for tall/long legged people.
