Vit4wd 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 (edited) http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/honda.php Almost fainted when I saw Kah Mtrs latest prices for Honda w.e.f. 5 Mar '07. Honda Civic 1.6M at $70.5K! It was just $69.5K last week. Honda City 1.5A with ABS = $55.5K, a $10K premium over the Toyota Vios 1.5A Even more expensive than Toyota Altis & Japan made Nissan Latio 1.5A at $49.5K & Subaru Imprezza 1.6A at $49.9K. No wonder Honda City is very rare on the rd. Way overpriced. Edited March 5, 2007 by Vit4wd ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 look at here: https://www.borneomotors.com.sg/toyota06/pr..._main_sedan.cfm Altis selling at $54788, I think all AD is gearing for $15K COE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familymanz 3rd Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 Honda City 1.5A rah....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vit4wd 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Author Share March 5, 2007 (edited) They all mark up prices so high, I think all buyers shd simply stop buying till prices cool down to more realistic levels. Patience is a virtue. Just like I waited for over a year, since July 2005, before getting my Getz 1.6A at just over $40K - lowest price in history.

Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 good for you but not everyone willing to wait or "dare" to wait as too many sales gimmick by all these ADs liao. Me still waiting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beei 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 (edited) Honda City is overpriced. Is that the Vtec or DSI version?? If DSI, dun think would be worth it to get Honda City. Vios should be able to give around the same FC and should be as reliable as a Honda. Latio has big cabin space and seem like its FC quite good either. Imprezza is dunno...never sit before..

Vit4wd 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Author Share March 5, 2007 Latio is the next up and coming car to give Toyota Altis a good run for its money. Latio is spacious, economical & 100% Japan made. My friend's Nissan Sylphy 1.5A, weighing almost 1200kg, and sharing same engine as Latio, manages 12 to 12.5km/l. Not bad for such a heavyweight. Mileage is only 2500km. Consumption shd improve once engine is run in. Using Esso 95RON. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carcraze 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 (edited) for toyota, they've increased their prices to the pre-5K/6K COE prices. does this means that when the next COE results is announced and say for example it has been increased by 5K, will car dealers increase their prices by another 5K???

Seanboi 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 Honda cars expensive, insurance oso higher than other makes of the same class. 70.5K for a 1.6L is $55K for a City is oso a killer, would rather get a Latio or get a Vios and use that 10K on petrol and minor mods.

Beei 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 Saw a lot of Latio recently [nod]and of course Lancers everywhere... But i would wait for BM to come out with the G10 Corolla...coz engine wise, I still trust the Toyota and Honda more... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanboi 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 I find Sylphy more weird looking than its sibling - Latio. The rims on the 1.5L worsens its appearance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beei 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 sometime i wonder why Honda so much more ex than other? coz of Vtec? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_mel 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 (edited) Honda cars have been overpriced from day one. I really don't see the fuss over Honda cars, having driven the CRV for a while. Their engine may be good, but probably just too over-rated IMO. Edited March 5, 2007 by Darth_mel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unic 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 Because of the name "Honda"? haha. I never own a Honda, really pricey compare to other Jap make car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanboi 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 Maybe cuz its reputation built by the EG, EK series? Kui VTEC? But now the VTEC and i-VTEC nt the same as last time's one liao rite? Look at the 1.6L and 1.8L FD Civic, u are paying 70+K for a SOHC i-VTEC engine. Shouldnt they use DOHC? Nissan and Toyota's engine nt far behind though.

Beei 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 maybe i take off the Toyota badge from my car and replaced with a Honda...can sell more $$ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_mel 1st Gear March 5, 2007 Share March 5, 2007 Funny thing about Honda cars is that their high prices are not matched by their looks nor aesthetics. They look cheaper than they cost. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
