i'd choose a car which holds and retains as much value over time......therefore its not a mazda. at middle age, money is very important and therefore to cutback as much losses as possible, u often go for cars which retain as much resale value as possible. maintanence wise, both are bout similar.

its all bout the money !

look at the happiness value,
when you get a car, if you love it so much, why bother about the resale value? if you intend to get a car and sell it the next 1 yr, i rather be taking the public transport and save the money for the car u want.

to me what matter most is the bang for the bucks element. i will not get anything at that price which is made in thailand with so much problem trail eg. the new civic.

alot of people have your quotes in them. u''re either very young and foolish, or u're extremely wealthy to be saying that. dont need to reply further as u can read the rest of the comments on your own.

Hi guys, i'm new here. I'm a currently an owner of Civic 1.8 and very tempted to change to M6 2.5 after my test drive 2 weeks ago. Am completely in love with the M6 for its solid built, nice interior with all the premium goodies and I must say it is a gorgeous looking car. I have test drive all 3 cars, Accord 2.4, Camry 2.4 and M6 2.5. I'm not bias to any brand but I must say the M6 blew me away. Though the Accord and Camry does feels more spacious and comfortable but it does not gives me the satisfaction I want as a driver. The M6 is a driver's car. The handling is superb and definitely feels more powerful despite having less 10hp than the Accord. Honestly, I just dont feel the 180 horses in the Accord. And the Camry? Boring!

My experience with my made in Melaka Civic is not really a pleasant one. No doubt I still love my Civic for its futuristic interior and great exterior (it still is!), however, the QC is bad. I have weird noises all over the car including some rattling sound on the engine which Honda still cannot rectify despite few major checkups! There was another sound problem with my steering rack which Honda only got it replaced recently. My friend owns a made in Japan Civic 1.8 in Spore and she has none of these problems at all. So, its not really a Honda problem but "Made in where Honda". I'm now more confident that the japan made hondas are far more superior in quality.

So, NOW I'm still deciding on whether to upgrade or not with all the happenings on fuel increase and less demand for cars above 2.0. My only concern now is, how does the M6 2.5 fare on fuel consumption? I notice there are some new M6 owners here. Would really appreciate if you guys can share some info on FC. How many kms can your 64L achieve, combined city and highway driving, on average??
*
With feedback such as yours, one would expect fuel consumption to be the least of your concerns. If one can decide to upgrade to a bigger vehicle, one does not think about fuel prices or consumption.

Well probably u are right about him. If that is the case I will highly suggest getting the 2.5L one. There is simply no reason to get 2.0L one.

As for ur Mazda6, just be prepared for the surprises functionalities it has, that ur salesman didnt told u after you read the manual.  tongue.gif prepare for many "OMG, WOW"
*
there is...its called road tax pricing ...... 2.0 is RM 380++++ 2.5 RM1k ++++
for that diff one can do many wonderous things wid money.

2.5L is just RM6xx. not 1K and the RM400 difference is not much to me.

Ermm Somewhere in June which I forgot the exact date.  tongue.gif

tested the Car auto switch on/off head lamp today by entering/exit a Basement car park. It is cool.  tongue.gif

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.
*
sos pls

AFAIK , its only RM200 rebate for 2000cc above

this is my sos: http://202.190.64.96/v5/index.php?option=c...id=218&Itemid=1

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 ?

er... that means 2400cc or 2500cc also got rebate?
how about my 2400cc roadtax paid at april, got cash rebate? blur blur d...
*
got rebate. but its effective 24th june .....go click on my sos and read.

2400cc 2500cc all also got rebate but effective june 24th. so u april renew u wait next year april oni enjoy the rebate.
same as me, mine in february so i next year february oni enjoy the rebate. no cash back.

btw this has nothing to do with the fuel subsidy rebate. this is road tax reduction yah....

We dont care about TS, the topic lives on. And I would prefer mod to rename the topic to "2008 Mazda6" than the current one, because most of the time we are talking about the new Mazda6 than talking Accord.

melampau and melebih to say that. if u dont respect people's thread you can GTFO.

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.
