I believe you're referring to 4 to 5k rpm zone and not at idle. How often do you rev that high? Maybe during overtaking?

Besides, it's the road noise is the more important issue that needs to be taken care off since that is the constant noise intruding into your cabin whenever the car moves.

and the noise insulator also...on the cabin floor..all must b realy gud to stand out frm any sounds frm outside...

Well, you don't have to worry much about the parts since it comes with 3 year warranty and Bermaz should provide us with all the parts. Mazda parts are a bit pricier because all  from Japan. Unlike the Honda and Toyota where most of their parts are from Thailand..So you may be paying more for Mazda but its the quality that makes the different.

yep...original frm japan...

3years warranty should be OK

but once u want to sell it,

While it's nice to hear about your enthusiasm on the 6, there are some facts that needs correction.

FC is the SAME for both cars if you take same driver and same city / highway driving condition. Read the comparison test done by Wheels Australia magazine.

Fact that the Accord has higher resale value, yes. But then with all the ongoing problems with the Accord, not too sure if it's going to be higher especially since the popularity of Mazda is coming up.

agree wit u...
in fact ths coming new design realy appeal to most 25 to 35 years old of users... tht can afford lorr.. smile.gif

just my opinion la,
if the car loan interest same rate as FD, there's not much different for pay 2yrs or 9yrs in the end.
settle within 2yrs is more hassle free ...
for 9yrs, it will limit u to apply other bank loan in future 9yrs.

if u have better investment,that's different story. but as long as there involve investment, there's risk right? no ppl dare to guarantee 100% make profit .

as for my case, not consider other investment at moment. my business also running smooth and no need more cash to roll.
but i think now if i invest another property also no bank gonna loan me base on 30% of income installment... already hit the LDHN limit. hehe  biggrin.gif
now i just want hassle free option so i can have peace of mind when vacation... tongue.gif

ur idea is nice and good calculation actually. those who taking loan for car can refer to billy advise. thumbup.gif
keep on the good debate dude. thumbup.gif

*think i'll choose lilac silver for "hassle free" maintenance... im just too lazy and scare of commitment la...haha
*
LHDN not ldhn... smile.gif but ther is way to reduce our commitment.. rent our stuff..mke letter..show to bank..

well,

just now just sat in the Mazda 6 2.5 (sat only not test drive) at midvalley. they having a mazda showcase there...

i must say, i envy ppl who own this bad boy... the built quality (interior) is much better than the new accord. the feeling when holding the steering is awesome. the paddle-shift is cool. a lot of buttons on the steering though. the leather touch is damn nice. the dashboard is fine. plus the car is sexy looking! smile.gif

hope i got lucky, so my next car would be a mazda.. hehe smile.gif

its a great choice... smile.gif
