Reserve the criticism of the CVT for the time being...the current city's CVT is quite good in comparison from previous generation, quite responsive to pedal inputs. Most importantly is how will the power match the gearing ratio. We can see how the car feels on the road when it arrives later part of the year.
Exactly. When the 1.5T doing 1-100Km within 7.2S, that is rather fast.
Hopefully Honda Malaysia price it fairly. Anything more than 135K is a bit steep. If Mazda 6 2.0 CKD priced around this figure, I think I'll go for Zoom Zoom....
Ah well, I was inclined to change to the new Civic when it arrived the time to let go of the old car. But after considering how long it would take to actually see one here (let alone the possibility of a long order book which i think it will), i chose the Mazda3 instead.
As for the pricing, my thoughts are use the current model's most expensive spec and add on another 4-5k plus another 2k for the depreciating ringgit factor. The price of a good turbocharger system with intercooler is around that price in the aftermarket arena.
Another reference point will be using the most expensive spec toyota corolla pricing. If honda wants to be really competitive to grab market share from toyota, it shouldn't charge anymore than that. If it's really so, toyota is really going to feel the pain.
Mazda 3? No doubt it look nice but after test drove one I thought it's performance is so so only.... But for Mazda 6, I am sold once I sat inside one.
If the price gap between the new Civic and CKD Mazda 6 is not that big, obviously Zoom Zoom is the answer.
0-100 km/h in 7.5 sec for a 220Nm car? In your dreams! Even the Jetta with 250 Nm can only claim 8.3 sec. Don't believe youtube videos where the car may not be stock.
it's between 8-9sc for stock RS version. The video that I posted says it has re-flashed ECU.
