So if that isn't a bashing, then what is it? Now look at your statement again.


Isn't this bashing Accord indirectly or should I say you're using sarcastic slang? Check all the post in this thread. I never bash Mazda although I'm a Honda fanboy.

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.

Yes, you can compare the advantages and disadvantages between 2 or more models, the sarcasm that he has shown is different.

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 !

Did I mention about direct bashing?

Nicely put.



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.

Let's give Bermaz 5 years (till the next GE) to improve. You'll be able to see their performance.

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.

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.

No, I don't see my resale value dropped. Just not satisfied with the way he talks only. So move on.

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.

Yeah, I'm driving an Accord. But certainly not the latest model. Still driving a 4th generation Accord.

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.

How on earth is 4th and 8th gen the same?

That's sarcastic BTW.

eventhough the car's flawed, you will still get die hard supporters(read: fanboy) that will defend the car by saying something irrational and picking on comparison comments that look perfectly fine to others that is neutral to both sides

To be honest the resale value of a car, depends on how expensive a car parts is, the quality of the car and the number of them in the market.

Honda may have high demand, but then again there are a lot of people selling too. So it is basically the same on the resale value. You may have a high demand car but someone else also own that car planing to sell.

I honestly dont really care about resale value. When u bought a car u gonna make sure u make the right decision.

As for Honda, I personally think I dont like it. And that is my personal opinion, whether u take it or not, thats my own opinion, take it or leave me alone.

Speaking about direct bashing, I gonna repeat my "bash" again.(if u think I am bashing) Honda Accord not my type, It makes me feel I am 10yrs older, Uncle type car, So? . Just by looking at it I have conclude myself it is not the type of car I want. A car exterior plays very important factor. If I dont care about Look, why not I get Fiat Multipla? Again, Honda Accord Grows old very fast, due to Honda change the design too often. Look at 7th Gen, 6th gen. its design is old now. And I like to be special. Honda Accord dont make me special. Why should I own a car that everybody else is owning. Look at the last gen E class. Does it make u look special? It use to cost over 400K but it doesnt give u any special feeling. An old Porche can be more exclusive/special than a new E-class from Merz. From my point of view for a car the features + design + special feeling make up my buying decision.

Iceman only pointed out what he like about Mazda6 and what he hate about Honda. Again thats his own opinion, take it or leave it. Some may agree on what he say some may not.

I don't worry about resell value. I only worry about maintenance and spare parts. That's all.

You look at Accord owner because you sympathized them?

bash - strike bluntly or heavily, attack violently, damage or break by striking forcibly - Oxford Dictionary

Certainly didnt do that...

Added on July 31, 2008, 3:25 pmTrue, no more good resale value these days..Accord will probably get few thousand more than Mazda but all will still have low resale value due to so many car models avail in the market today to cater for every pockets.....

I think the writer of this Honda accord article will agree with you, she called it both an uncle & an ah beng car. LOL

Funniest quote from the article

Hey, don't put me in a hot soup ! Afterwards, people might interpret what I wrote in my remarks as sarcastic in nature and brand me for direct bashing.
