I was planning to get a City VTEC as a 2nd option if I can't get the Jazz VTEC, after knowing this, it reinforces my belief that CKD Hondas DO suck... Alright, that's it, CBU Thai Hondas for me ALL THE WAY...

i support the choic for Jazz VTEC if ur budget allows... that has been my option too although i finally settle for yaris... smile.gif
trust me, the overall feel will be different between CBU & CKD...

yeah, I agree also. MyVi is the most perfect car in Malaysia. Some say in UK too. Toyota wanna challenge? THIS IS SPARTAA!!!

At the very least the Thais have the responsibility to execute recalls, how often do you hear such recalls in M'sia? Almost next to NONE! shakehead.gif

Yes, I know it's really sad to be forced to settle for a CBU... I have been doing research and testing the City and Jazz for 2 years now... And the difference in quality of workmanship is shockingly huge leh! I mean, how in the hell did the Thais learn to assemble cars so well?? It absolutely puzzles me... Why can't M'sians do a better job? shakehead.gif

i would say its working ethics & mentality... its too common for malaysia working style to be "whatever as long as i finish the job"... quite sad about that...

I thought their QC & SC is better than Toyota.

well, every brand (not only cars) will definitely have their "dark side"...
its just the matter of percentage...

a few bad examples doesn't mean the whole brand is bad...

cheers...

Dude, all those tests and reports are outdated. Yes, back then the CVT from Honda has quite some reliability issues. But that was before 2005. Honda learned the issues hence they sent a team to solve the prob by coming out with a new formula of transmission fluid for their CVT which is the CVTF back in between end of 2004 and early 2005. I have no prob with my CVT coz i been using Honda's CVTF since day one. Mileage to date is 103000km and bought it back in Feb 2005. I pushed my car a lot and changed my CVTF every 20000km serivce. Honda got QC prob? Heck, even i have seen Yaris that rusting and lying around Westport that yet to be release for few months. Even my dad's Benz has it's airbag error check light came switch on after few days of delivering the car to my dad. tongue.gif

can tell me which part/area?

need to pay more attention to that in that case... hmm.gif tongue.gif

oppss, sorry bro to reveal that. Mainly are the bolts n nuts in the engine bay. Not all though, so happen the few units that i saw were in bad condition for a new car due to AP issues that hold the Yaris in their stockyard. Some units even the aircond compressor isnt working, cracked taillight, headlight turned yellowish and etc. Went with my fren from Toyota.  sweat.gif

ah... i can imagine that... in fact i'm really happy that u mention it so i can pay more attention to those areas... thumbup.gif

luckily my ride doesn't belong to those category like you mentioned... well, maybe they are indeed of same batch but since i got it soon, it doesn't suffer those bad effects...

i'm cleaning my engine bay ~monthly thus i'm quite sure those rusts doesn't exist... now only time will tell how those parts really last... smile.gif

ooops... OT from Honda CKD issues liao... 100x sorry!!!! notworthy.gif
