Maybe becoz its the market... Taiwan and singapore all have hordes of uncles that will buy anything with toyota badge... hence good to download to these mkts for older engines... more profit too...

 

China has an elastic mkt... u sell something below std... nobody buys... they have no strong brand attachment... you got to fight VW/Audi/Honda/Mazda of all which are locally made and its also cheap

I've not tested the Altis, only the Civic so I can't compare. Having said that I feel pretty satisfied with my current Civic 2.0L auto.

I won't know that. I'll have to drive ALL Japanese cars before I can come to that conclusion don't you think? Have you driven all Japanese cars to justify that statement?

I have been warned before that MCF is full of Honda supporters. Looks like I experience it myself... but it's OK. Anywhere, I am too busy with my life to engage further in the arguement for the 2 models comparison..

 

After gathering more information by myself about the 2 cars, I am now very clear that the new altis will be my choice and preference, if I were to choose between the 2. but since I only plan to change my ride at beginning of next year, there may be more new cars to choose from. Maybe I will end up with the new honda city yet to appear.

 

I think it's stupid to try to support any car brand since I do not own any of their shares and my life is totally unaffected by whoever makes it to the top seller. I am just a consumer who is not so rich and cannot afford to anyhow buy car without gathering all the information and to consider all the factors very carefully. this is spore where car is the most expensive. If in other country, I probably can just buy car without much detialed considertion since it so much cheaper.

 

Pls stop accusing me that I am trying to say altis is better. At the start of the thread, I am only stating on what I gathered from internet. But now I have gathered more info and I decided not to share here b'cos will only bring more meaningless debates... just buy what I think is the best decision for me, and enjoy the ride with myself and family.

It is a fact that Honda makes driver car and Toyota makes passenger car.

 

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder so many things are subjective, however not all things can be said that way. It is not meaningless for us because many many others will read this thread. They are all entitled to their conclusion like you.

 

Many of the people who replied to you know a lot more about cars than the paper specs that you can obtained over the internet, I believe this is the very reason why you decided to post here to share what you have gather and maybe justify your decision.

 

You are right about buying the car that you feel suits your need best. It is actually quite obvious what you have already decided and we respect that. However, we must correct you that the new Altis is not a better car than the Civic simply because it is not.

 

Now, I don't think the ppl deserves this sweeping statement about "I am too busy with my life to engage further in the argument for the 2 models comparison.. "

 

I suggest you re-read your first post. I suppose we all have problem interpreting your post to accuse you of what you have suggested. Right.

 

Goodnight.

Did you test drive both cars? Don't rely on the information from the internet, the feel is different when u are at the wheels. Honda or Toyota both are reliable products.:) Choose whichever suits ur budget and comfortable with. Try out Mazda 3. U might have a change of heart :)

Upon reading TS's latest post, I wanted to reply him in a fair and amiable manner

 

but what u've said summed up my thoughts nicely. [thumbsup]

 

Thank you so much. [thumbsup]

 

Its for the benefit of everyone here. [thumbsup]

 

 

and btw, Shern25, I own a TOYOTA picnic and a mazda 3, I've never owned a Honda before.

At the same time, I am very well aware of WHO is shortchanging consumers and who isn't

U could have mentioned that U only have a respectable budget for an Altis, instead of putting down such a proven Civic model just because its slightly beyond your reach.

 

and with regards to calling people dunderhead just because they support a certain car make, is totally uncalled for.

 

Do you not support any football club? any idol etc? Even if U do not, i'm sure someone close to u, your spouse, friends, family members support. SO do they have shares in the football club? NO

 

its the entertainment value they attain that makes them so willing to part with their precious money.

 

same goes for driving. Honda Civic is an entertaining driving machine.
