Agreed. This Civic's turbocharging is not about performance per se, but about efficiency. It's basically a 1.5L engine, but with 2.4L engine performance. It's not a VW Golf GTI, but rather a VW Golf TSI.

DSG gearbox? Yes it's fast, but not really reliable is it? You won't get asked how fast your car can go, but rather, how reliable is your gearbox?

Never had any problems with my City CVT last time, and neither did my friends. I guess the CVT had a bad rep from the olden days

I nearly went for cx5 due to urgent need but managed to hold back for this civic. Hopefully can get in a month time.

That's a silly statement to make actually. When I choose a car I use these criteria:

1) Price
2) Safety
3) Specifications
4) Design
5) Interior space
6) Build quality / durability
7) Ride, handling, power
[SIZE=14]8) After sales service[/SIZE=14]
9) Overall maintenance cost (not just periodic maintenance)
10) Warranty terms
11) Comfort
12) Resale value
13) Future models / facelifts

And if u knew me from the earlier threads, u would have known that I tested my previous car (Optima K5) 9 times in 4 different states under different driving conditions before I purchased it.

Just got my CIMB loan approved. 2.83%. 9 years.

Anybody else got better rates?

Yeah if 7 yrs can get lower. But im pushing to 9 yrs cuz I have better use for the money.

Anybody with 9 yr loan and lower than 2.83% interest?

Yup pics are everywhere. I wanted to get a feel of the interior. Will head to Mofaz Damansara later tis evening then.

I wanna view the interior of the car. Mofaz had 70 bookings last month. Im sure its more now.

DSG is fast and fun until the juddering starts. Vw changed my mechatronic but it didn't take too long before it returns. FYI I don't around chasing 0-100 time and I hardly drives above 130kmph.

Then just before the warranty expires, piston and something in the engine kong. Fortunately able to claim warranty for engine replacement else have to fork out rm20k to 30k.

But what I pissed off most is vw fanboys responding negatively to my issues due to insecurities they have with their vw haha.

The engine took about 4 - 5 mths. SC in penang.

But at least ur gti's rv not as bad as jetta after the drop everything sale.
