Quite surprising that even though Honda Malaysia is managed by an japanese elected from the HQ, QC problems still appears. Even UMWT is not spared with QC problems as well. Still i believe this is the problem of the workers themselves.
Most of out local assemblers are still on manual labor and lower tech/QC than those in Japan/Europe. That the price to pay for our beloved NAP.  From ms hypermount point of view revealing that his friend who is an honda employee is driving a savvy, sounds to me he is trying to get the whole malaysia to buy and drive savvy.

If u asked me, i rather welcome Honda malaysia rather than Kah Bintang coz the honda brand was almost screw up by Kah Bintang. Take a look at the earlier Civic 7th gen batches from kah Bintang and compare it to the facelifted 7th gen civic from Honda malaysia. Even today Kah Bintang didnt do that well with Hyundai in Malaysia, or else we might enjoying the new accent rather than relying on the overpriced and ugly RX-S.

QUOTE(Vanquish @ May 23 2007, 09:08 PM) Back then it was Kah Motor, mate. Kah Bintang is a JV of sorts, not wholly owned by Kah Motor. Yeah thanks for correcting me mate And FYI, the supposedly best assemblers in M'sia is Oriental Assemblers. They assemble Mercs, Hondas, Hyundais and Peugeots... That means OA used to assemble Civics, Citys and Accords... Honda Motor Co actually had a 22.5% stake in OA from 1987 to 2005... Anyway, all CKD Honda cars from 2006 onwards should be assembled in HM's Malacca plant... It's quite a shock actually to hear of all these quality issues... 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...   On QC issues, i believe their QC wont be as bad as Proton from the last few years. My siblings do own a city and jazz and so far no major problems were heard off.  |

QUOTE(hypermount @ Jun 21 2007, 08:37 AM) Honda just like other comapny is a money making or profit minded organisation..you think they create carsfor charity ar? with a smaller sales volume in MY it's cheaper not to address the problems. As if Proton makes cars for passion rather than making money.  From what i know, Jeremy Clarkson did mentioned that apart of Honda, the remaining car manufacturers from Japan are just here to make money (esp Toyota). Well truth is if u dont make money, how u supposed to come out with future car models? U cant be like alfa romeo and kept making losses.

QUOTE(hypermount @ Jul 1 2007, 03:03 AM) huh damn poor taste for a person who thought highly of himself..lousy jap model for third world that handles poorer than a wira...stupid f***tard. Yet again u showing ur ugly side or ur "retarded" side of urs. Dont forget the wira is basically based from Mitsubishi Lancer which is a japanese made and designed model. No lotus handling were implemented until the so called wira special edition, but i doubt the handling is as good as a lotus tuned handling should be. |
