Jl1500k Clutched May 10, 2009 Share May 10, 2009 No sure though, but i see both many Avantes and Civics sharing in HDB car parks. what class difference?? i don't see many BMWs park in HDB parking lots than Civics. so what different status? you are confusing us more. Maybe you mean those who drive civics stay in 4-5 room, Avante owners stay in 3-4 room? Those pp bought civic monthly income 4 to 5K and those bought avante is 3 to 4K ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veryfree Clutched May 10, 2009 Share May 10, 2009 Those pp bought civic monthly income 4 to 5K and those bought avante is 3 to 4K real case. i have 2 friends who bought hondas. 1) civic 1.6, income is $2500, a clerk (not from a rich family) 2) accord type R (JDM), income is $1600, not from a rich family. if class is measured by salary, so, is it true that human value is based on $ & cents? so, a price tag of human life varies very much. A rich Indonesia, Indian is much higher in value than a middle class SGeans. Sad case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintersonata Clutched May 10, 2009 Share May 10, 2009 Those pp bought civic monthly income 4 to 5K and those bought avante is 3 to 4K Sorry, didnt get what u mean... My HOD of Asia-Pacific Regional operation drives a Avante living in Bukit Timah... while some of the engineers working under him drives Toyota, Honda Civic, Jazz and Ford... So what does it mean? He earn less than them? LOL... Buying a car depends on individual and what they value... Some people treat their car as part of their ego, some just a point-A-to-point-B transportation tool, etc... Why do they need to be generalized like that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they need to be generalized like that? Sure we can compare cars in MCF but I don't understand why people like to generalize items that are not directly associated with a car characteristics such as: a) High Class versus low class or no class, b) Pay cash in full versus high car loan, c) High Income versus low Income, d) Private property verus HDB, d) Ah Peh versus Ah Beng, Ah Hua and Ah Liao. There is only one thing in place, that is ego at work . Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrariz Neutral Newbie May 10, 2009 Share May 10, 2009 (edited) Those pp bought civic monthly income 4 to 5K and those bought avante is 3 to 4K simi lan sai logic is that. Its more of more value for money. If at the same price, then i dont mind getting the civic. Edited May 10, 2009 by Ferrariz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurman Supercharged May 12, 2009 Share May 12, 2009 Ya. Many girls think that civic is ah beng car or equal low class. Avante is classy car. Basically a fierce looking car to gals means ah beng... hee... Avante looks decent, exec enough...... My GF also have the same tinking as the so called many girls out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GF also have the same tinking as the so called many girls out there But Civic along with BMW 3 series and Citroen bagged the Car of the year award for design (interior and exterior). And even some magazines commented that Forte resembles a Civic. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladykillerz 4th Gear May 28, 2009 Share May 28, 2009 i got two friends who are driving Avante. both drove up to Malaysia.. one claimed to run 190km/h and another one 180km/h. the one who drove at 190km/h claimed that it can go higher but the body cannot take it.. too much vibration.. with such price, such pick-up, such top speed, such body, such looks, etc. there is no way that any Jap cars can win the overall as compared with the Avante. *if you are driving a 1.6L Jap car and comparing with the Avante, you will know what i mean... do a decent test drive* i test drove Avante and I30. For interior looks -> Go for Avante. For better pickup -> Go for I30. seriously, the korea car manufacturing companies are improving in a speedily manner. once again, i am not a korea car supporter.. just stating my view point....

Axela72 5th Gear May 29, 2009 Share May 29, 2009 (edited) he kena 4D, paid 50% downpayment. i do not know how much commission he gets per month. Err......May I know so without winning any 4D, what should be the salary range to be justifiable to purchase a 100k car? I remember the last time I 1st started work more than 10 yrs ago, a normal 1.6L lancer cost 108k.
