I test drove the 2.5L Mazda 6 last week...

1. Keyless entry and start button - kewl factor
2. Front/Rear parking sensor
3. Bose premium audio - 8 speakers
4. Gorgeous-looking meter console
5. Fully-loaded multi-function steering wheel
6. 18" sports rim standard
7. CBU quality
8. Quiet interior... very roomy and spacious
9. Electric power steering - no more power sapping from hydraulic ones, gain 5hp
10. Full leather seats - fully imported also

Overall, 8/10.

2 weeks back, I test drove the new Honda Accord 2.4L and below are the comments.

1. No keyless entry and start button - boo!
2. Rear parking sensor
3. Unknown audio - 7 speakers
4. Plain-looking meter console
5. Fully-loaded multi-function steering wheel
6. 17" sports rim standard
7. CKD quality w/ minor QC problems
8. Quiet interior... very roomy and spacious
9. Hydraulic power steering - outdated liao!
10. Full leather seats - local ones

Overall, 7/10.

Both command the same price but Mazda 6 gives more for less money. However, if u add RM 6k for Modulo bodykit to Accord, price will be close to RM 180k already and still CKD.

If u have driven a CBU car for many years, CKD will be a turn off.

I've driven mostly CBU ranging from Mitsubishi Galant Super Saloon, Kia Carnival ('02 model), Toyota Harrier 3.0 and smart forfour 1.5 and all 4 cars never disappoints.
