QUOTE(andyjyneo @ Jul 14 2008, 11:20 PM) My new Honda just took me one day to settle JPJ registration. Maybe your salesman never bribe them. This is what my SA told me that by bribing, everything can be done in 1 day. But surprisingly, only 1/2 day. What complications can arrise when you want to register a CKD Honda at JPJ?  Added on July 15, 2008, 5:24 am QUOTE(iceman08 @ Jul 14 2008, 10:20 PM) I m getting suspicious with this Bermaz. I suppose to get the car this week but my salesman gives all sort of different excuses..I suspect is more on Bermaz side that screw up... Things like chassis number and description different than the actual car?  This post has been edited by jchue73: Jul 15 2008, 05:24 AM |

QUOTE(andyjyneo @ Jul 15 2008, 10:56 AM) Looks like you're looking down on me. I know Mazda CBU is better than my Honda CKD, but this is true. I'm speaking the truth. Not looking down on you. Just stating facts. My sincere apologies if I sounded I was looking down on you. Anyway, you need to see that Honda Malaysia been in auto business in MY for very much longer time than Bermaz has and the "experience" and "network" that has been built in the system and people at JPJ. If you ask JPJ officer to register a Accord, he'll know exactly what it looks like but if you ask them to register a Mazda6, he'll probably scratch his head trying to figure out how the car looks like ! OK, looks like a quite a number of people have already gotten their Mazda6 already? Any show of hands?  |

QUOTE(sharkteef @ Jul 21 2008, 04:21 PM) yaka ? road tax price drop liao ? If you didn't already know, all cars above 2.0L are entitled to a RM 400 rebate. So the 2.5L Mazda6 which is suppose to be RM 879 (individual) would be RM 479 after the rebate.my alphard is 2.4 and its already RM800+ and so's my 2.2 accord which is RM 599 p.a. u mean to tell me your mazda cars are subsidised by the garmen ? |

QUOTE(sharkteef @ Jul 21 2008, 05:37 PM) straight direct from jpj m'sia itself. so yes i dont know all cars above 2.0L are entitled to RM400 and i dont know where your sos came from and i do know that you are bullshitting. true ? Not bullshitting. Just wrongly informed. Thats' all. A person like me sometimes allowed for some errors. No need for the sacarstic remarks.  So are you still convinced that you're paying RM 800++ road tax for your Alphard? Added on July 21, 2008, 10:26 pm QUOTE(genkis3 @ Jul 21 2008, 09:09 PM) but the already paid can't get cash refund via pos office rite?

QUOTE(lazogirlz @ Jul 23 2008, 01:18 AM) of course honda accord new Version la. totally out of 10 if VS with honda accord. go watch the youtube official video about honda features. Honda features? Best city and highway driving? Quality proven? 0.02 defect?thats worth to buy. Honda car will always the best in city and highway driving and its quality is proven. JAPANESE car only 0.02 defect. thats a greatest score! Are you disillusioned? None of the above applies to our CKD Accord. Chances are you've watch an Euro Accord video on youtube. Please do a test drive on both cars and them come here to make your own informed assessment instead of going on youtube with a herd mentality. |

QUOTE(billytong @ Jul 23 2008, 09:46 AM) As for Engine noise, I recall there is someone in this thread saying the engine noise is a problem. Wth! I barely heard the engine noise even I press my pedal. Even the wind noise from outside + the radio can easily cover up the engine noise. That guy who complain must have ultra sensitive microphone ear OR he is a honda fan guy who simply say something out from nothing. Aiyah Billy, probably after years of getting used to the Kembara, anything also would would sound silent to you.  Added on July 23, 2008, 3:24 pm QUOTE(iceman08 @ Jul 23 2008, 02:39 PM) Billy, just took my baby home..the car is really fantastic and outstanding. Did you check your tyre pressure? Went straight to pump petrol and check the tyre pressure, guess what..the pressure was 50psi!!!instead of the recommended 32 psi. I presume since the car from Japan, they have to pump in higher pressure as the car will take some time before it reaches the owner. If you have not, then it must be the pressure that makes your car so bumpy.. iceman, congrats ! Making me more envious now. Heck, shouldn't the PDI check all things like proper inflated tyre pressure? Added on July 23, 2008, 3:26 pm QUOTE(billytong @ Jul 23 2008, 03:10 PM) deng I didnt check the tyre lah. dont know what psi it has lol. Just get a digital tyre gauge (RM 30) from Carefour and you can check yourself. This post has been edited by jchue73: Jul 23 2008, 03:26 PM |

QUOTE(Beach_Boy @ Jul 23 2008, 05:14 PM) YOU GUYS BOUGHT THE WRONG CAR! Firstly, you quoted from a love sick Honda lover that compares Audis and Mercedes to be inferior to his Honda.  http://www.motortrader.com.my/asp/forum/to...487&whichpage=2 you wont admit the m6 beats the mercs will you  Are you going to take his word seriously while other Honda owners themselves in the thread hantam him because comparing the Accord to continentals? Mercs, like other continentals are a different pedigree. Please create a separate thread if you want to compare Japanese cars like Mazda and Accord vs continentals. Don't spite people for the wrong reasons because they've got a wonderful car. This post has been edited by jchue73: Jul 23 2008, 05:53 PM |

He can go round and tell everyone...'you guys are so unwise for not choosing Accord' it is even better than Audi and Mercedes... Actually, there's one thread recently made by kizuna6. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=733910 Perhaps we can use that. |

The report button is there for you to use it wisely and up to the mods to decide if it's warranted. It's not our style to take matters into our hands by creating friction. Cheers.

QUOTE(sharkteef @ Jul 30 2008, 01:56 AM) to jchue73 - i think u failed to see the lines properly and hence took the liberty of highlighting it in red for your eyes. it might be a mistake for me to say that the "WE" refers to you and him ? no ? now move along and back on topic. You don't have to highlight it in red for me (or we/us as in the collective public !  ). I'm not colour blind. I can perfectly read it and admittedly, to some people, billytong's sentence may sound arrogant. But like I mentioned, if you are not pleased with his sentence, please report the post to the mods (report me too if you think "we" refers to me and him ) and not take it personally by hurling abuse.It would have been no issue for me if you had politely remarked him.

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 ! |

QUOTE(iceman08 @ Jul 31 2008, 10:53 AM) 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. Nicely put. QUOTE(iceman08 @ Jul 31 2008, 10:53 AM) 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. These days, there's no such thing as good resale value for cars. Be it a Honda, Mazda or a Toyota. Especially if you're looking to sell it after 5 years. But getting a bang for the buck in terms of sheer driving pleasure for the money spent, priceless. That's most important thing to feel in any car you buy.As for the SCs, I think none of the auto manufacturer are up to standard unfortunately. Hopefully, Bermaz gets better with more experience and time. |

QUOTE(andyjyneo @ Jul 31 2008, 12:37 PM) Did I mention about direct bashing? 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. Added on July 31, 2008, 12:52 pm QUOTE(andyjyneo @ Jul 31 2008, 12:47 PM) Let's give Bermaz 5 years (till the next GE) to improve. You'll be able to see their performance. Ok, I must admit that that's a good attempt at sarcarsm. Congrats.  I musn't be biased to Mazda folks and must give credit where it's due.
