LOL wow mazda 6 for 110K is really " value for money" if sold in this current COE price, large sedan for compact sedan price. Saw on sgcarmart, agent premium is 5 to 8%, if honda mark up price 5-8% also maybe got better fighting chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Honda, show the Europeans Japanese still can compete! This one is not honda's fault... Is Kah Motor prefer to eat small quantity but high margin on each transaction! PI probably opposite (smaller margin, larger quantity). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely will as that the real deal Civic but more expensive coz will be CAT B COE, if not really want ask PI to help indent lor. I think JDM only got hatchback version which the rear design and rear light slightly different. Really lose face for SG and Kah Motor AD Civic, MIT version more expensive yet reduce engine power to match CAT A, unique Singapore, I think we are the only nation that have this kind of engine setup for the new Civic despite 1.5T. 🤣🤣 Edited August 9, 2021 by Fellows 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i am not wrong, this same 1.5T engine on the new FE Civic is used in China too as their base model (to replace the outgoing 1.0T 3 cylinder). Back then in the FD days, the 1.6L engine is also not uniquely developed for Singapore. If you read the manual, I recall seeing one more country getting the same 1.6L engine. KM has a tendency to react slower to market so far. Most cases, they only start bringing in the car when PI sell like hot cakes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, how many 1.5turbo civics are running around Singapore as we speak? It’s so rare to even spot a hatchback civic which is available only in 1.5turbo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn207 2nd Gear August 10, 2021 Share August 10, 2021 (edited) Honda is reliable.. though the markup I feel is not worth it. I drove a 1.4T with DCT previously and swapped it eventually for a Mazda 2.0NA w 6 speed AT cos of the frustration with the DCT (cannot creep, unresponsive in stop go traffic, wear and tear on the clutch etc). now enjoying my Mazda handling and relatively bulletproof AT. I only miss the turbo on the highways. No regrets whatsoever for me. Edited August 10, 2021 by shawn207 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FD4 was brought in later after the initial launch of 1.8litre and the 2.0 litre models. Visually no difference between 1.6/1.8 and 2.0 litre models other than the badging so 1.6 litre became the most popular model as can slot into CAT A.

Yea, thanks for filling the gap up on the countries which are getting the 1.6L engine on the FD. Yes, it was meant to fill up the Cat A gap. I think the popularity of the 1.6L isnt quite there though, more people still went for the 1.8L especially during the time when Cat B COE was quite close to Cat A prices. I recalled 1.6L -> 1.8L was a $3k price difference, but lacked a lot of stuffs like a bigger front disc brakes, factory fitted HU etc. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
