What complications can arrise when you want to register a CKD Honda at JPJ? 

I believe is true too. In Malaysia everything also need to be 'kow tim' otherwise things go very slow..
I was at the JPJ last week to book my number, there are full of touts there asking me if i want to get it done faster..I refused all of them. For the good thing i've done, I also need to pay the price of waiting!!!

Added on July 15, 2008, 12:09 pmguys, i m getting another nice emblem. mazdaspeed, dimension 2 x 12 cm. Made of alloy. Trying to ask for better price for bulk order. Cost around US$32. Let me know asap

wht i knw is ckd must buy and install rims and tyres tht made in malaysia...

Having driven my M6 for one week now..like to update u guys on my experience...First of all this car is really more than the look. Handling was superb plus the feel on the steering was awesome..for those who says mazda NVH is bad, obviously they have not tested the new M6. Even the starting of engine was so quiet that sometimes i have to step on the accelerator to confirm. Once I almost forgot to switch off the engine because you almost dont hear anything if your air cond is off. Only when i close the door, and the car buzzer warn me that my engine is still running...
Welcome mode with lights activated one by one and the zoom zoom tone really makes me smile..its like having a close relationship with this car. All in all, great great car...Accord? Whats that?

certainly not trying to bash just my personal opinion..sorry if you felt that way... just take it as a pinch of salt.  Feature-wise we all know M6 have  far more than what Accord/Camry offered. I think many ppl misunderstood that Accord in the luxury market and should have more comfort than M6..
MY definition of comfort should include NVH, handling and acceleration, good sound system..add to this Mazda 6 has day/night rear vision mirror, its a powered mirror that automatically dim the light from the cars behind you thus reduce glare to the driver, even the car behind with high beam it will cut the glare..talking about pampering!! Mazda 6 clearly beats Accord easily in almost every area...again my personal opinion after tested Accord and driven my Mazda 6. The only concern is the service center which is quite inexperience with this car..but I was told to go to authorised dealers where they are more experience...i will have to agree also the resale value will not be better than Accord...but this M6 should be better now since the demand is much higher plus the loads of features than the previous M6. Good resale value reflected from high volume sales...again my personal opinion. If only more ppl know what this M6 offer, they buy it and resale value will go up..IMHO.

All in all, great great car...Accord? Whats that?

Touche...  But aren't we all allowed a little sarcarsm as a lowest form of wit?

Auto magazine articles also have it not to mention Top Gear who calls a spade a spade. No offence. 

Don't confuse sarcarsm with direct bashing. There is a difference when you do it in style and when you blatantly do it for the sake of doing it.

Besides, it's just over a car ! 

If's it's not direct bashing, why be so sensitive then? 

If you owned an Accord or own some Honda shares, I might be sympathetic to your plight since iceman's sarcastic may be seen to cause your Accord resale value or your Honda shares to drop. But I don't see that happening. Cheers.

Just to make this back on topic,  , do you drive an Accord? What's your feedback on the car? Maybe you know something we don't. Please share.

Corrections ! Nobody looks at the owner.  They look at the car more than they look at the owner.  How unfortunate.

For your info, I oogled at the new Accord too when it first came out.  But now I'm starting to look at the owner. Not so much the car.

Is the 4th Gen Accord the same as 8th Gen Accord? If not, then move along. 

i would say each car has its own unique features. Mazda 6 got the young sporty look, Honda catch up with elegance while Camry stay at it sedan class. In term of power, all the 3 cars came close in bhp and it depends on the respective car manufacturer technology. Mazda has MZR, Honda has VTEC and Toyota famous with its VVTI. In the past, Honda's VTEC is nominating Malaysia market but got beaten up by Toyota VVTI. Look at how VIOS overtake CITY and ALTIS stay its champ handsomely leaving CIVIC behind. CAMRY on the other hand, nominating the D-segment sedan for a while until the new ACCORD put up a good fight and now we have new comer Mazda6. Too bad, the MAZDA brand is still new to Malaysia market and apprently Bermaz unable to put up good promotion to its name. One drawback is that Bermaz is actually a car dealer of Mazda JP instead of Mazda country branch. What the heck is the Mazda JP management thinking? Or the boleh land is not their target compare to our good neighbour Singapore?

Ok, now come back to the comparison. I have seen MANY Camry on the road and now the white CAMRY is also start coming up like mushroom grow after the rain just like the new ACCORD. MAZDA6 remain its uniqueness to crown its own title 'few to own', which you will draw much attention as compare to ACCORD or CAMRY. Young chics love it even aunties can't help stop to look at it.

Ghee...now only i reliaze this thread is comparing ACCORD 2.4 and Mazda 6 2.5. Ha..anyway, to testify further the comparison we should have Mazda 6 driver switch car with the Honda Accord 2.4 driver for a week..say..so as to express which car is better. Any taker?

haha nice sentence there... congrat u are one of the unique driver by owning M6

the re-sale value pretty bad. not a car i'd want to own. honda and toyota can retain their value but a mazda ? sheeesh.

how abt audi .. ...

skoda also very rare .. lulz

buy 170k car to service at mekanik bawah pokok.... lolz.... no wonder its unique.

lol , heart attack not good , maybe direct find coffin shop ? , R35 COOL ~!
