Ha.. if you actually take V-kool, Air-kool, 3M price list and see... No matter how 3M expensive at first, you will finally go for 3M for Air-kool... V-kool price is like triple of them... My city come with it as package only. And what I know is, 3M those is ceramic based, V-kool is metallic based. The pricing for the top grade is like Rm1800 for V-kool and Rm1400 something for 3M (few months ago when I service my car). Air-kool, pretty affordable.

About the car plate... Just pay some money for it...

I see.
I know that V-Kool does affect the SmartTag though. Got a Civic at home with V-Kool and whenever I go through the SmartTag gate, I've got to hold it up at the centre part of the windshield and pray it reads.

My SA recommends RikeCool though 'cos he said it uses Nano Technology. Not sure which is better than. He quoted about RM1500

Dear All,

Earlier I posted query on color option.

Actually Blue color is not thaaat bad at all. I tried observing the road past few days and noticed a few cars with similar blue color. Such as Toyota Wish, Subaru, BMW, Mini,...these cars with the same blue color look great! Reinforced my decision.

However... car like proton saga (ancient version) or gen2 with the same color kinda made me change my mind again. Argh!

And it looks like the road will be flooded with PMM/Black in the next few weeks!

My question is, should in the end I pick Blue, will it affect future resale value.

Please advise. Thanks Guys! you all Rock!

Rgds, Cherry
*
It shouldn't affet the future re-sale value. If any, it will not be material
Anyway the Blue is quite nice, very unique. It's one of my choices too.
Depends on whether my SA can get my PMM before 31/3/09. If not, we'll see what other colours he can offer
before that tme period

Maybe in the future will go for the Accord.
Now, need to conserve money.. slumping economic situation not helping the wallet too..hehe!

I do agree with you. Blue without the kit may look dull, I'm kinda sure with the kits installed, it should stand out from the crowd.

I was wondering if there's any showroom that display all the colors?? So far at PJ ss16, USJ, Old Kalng and Glenmarie all are displaying Blue and Black only.

What happen to those units displayed during the launch? Shoved back to warehouse? Anyone knows?

Rgds, Cherry

Jln 222 has the PMM S-Spec.
I think DLB will stand out in the sea of PMM and Black. Not a bad color to consider.
I like the Bold Biege too.. Mini-Civic

You mean like making it into an official Honda City Club?
Think ours is the 5th Gen? Though I don't think Malaysia got the 1st Gen (correct me if i'm wrong)

I hate to dissapoint u but dont judge the engine by its specs. The civic may have more HP than the vios but dont forget the city still uses SOHC via the waja CPS or the vios is a DOHC engine. I test drove the new city and i not impressed with the low rpm, in which it needs more torque.
*
Well.. being DOHC doesn't necessary means it's better. There's a trade-off. There's a reason why car manufacturers choose from from another

"The main reason to use DOHC is to drive more valves per cylinder. If a SOHC setup can allow 4 valves per cylinder, having a DOHC engine will not bring that much benefits over SOHC and the additional weight becomes a burden instead"

SOHC vs DOHC (from paultan.org)

So since the City is a 16v SOHC, it doesn't lose out much on its "more-complex" DOHC brother except at the top-end of the powerband..

Wow. The alphabets really fly for the WP plate..
Which comes to my next question (which prolly would have been discussed in LYN, but I'm too lazy to 'search'),
Should I go for Selangor plate or WP plate? In terms of future re-sale value.

I always like to take pair alphabets like JHJ or WPW. I hate close alphabets like JKX because 'K' and 'X' looks identical from afar. That's why I chose JKW. Took a backdated plate.
*
Backdated plates?
Wow. I didn't know it was possible.
How far back can you go anyway?
What are the charges anyway? Maybe I'm not too fussed on the numbers.. but for alphabets, that's something I'm curious about.

It's possible, if you've belakang jalan. I booked mine through my dad's friend (who has insider connection with JPJ number plate tendering department).
When I booked my JKW that time, the plate has already till JLD. The charges are still the same. No bribery.

Just for example, JJJ plates aren't finish yet, but they already opened tender for JJL straight away.
You can still book JJJ plate if you want, but expensive. That's why they opened JJL and JJM.

Oic. Wow, a lot of "belakang mari" job in our country eh..haha! Will definitely consider that.
I'd like WTF though, but it probably would sound obscene and I would have to stick to it for a few years..haha!
Now to decide on whether to take a Selangor plate (BXX) or WP plate (WXX)

..think your SA is conning you again. Ask him, what's that certain speed. IF you're driving > 60 kph and it isn't going to lock itself.. what's the use anyway?

Well..There's central locking, but no auto-lock for the car.

Don't wanna waste too much money on numbers. As long as no digit "4", I'm fine..

Btw.. instead of 4 digits.. if we want like 3 digits only.. do we have to pay extra? (pardon my ignorance)
