(RM90). If possible, go for the 2.0 version. as you get all tons of stuffs like leather seat, HID, Paddle shift, cushion air bag, side mirror with indicator and not to mention the BHP......lastly no matter 1.8 or 2.0 it is still a great car to own.

The BMW felt horrible at low speeds. I didn’t believe this was how the car was supposed to feel like. So I went through the whole test drive sign up thing again and picked a 525i instead to see if the engine and transmission was supposed to feel like that. Strange, when I want to test drive a 3-series, they just pointed me to the test drive counter, but when I wanted to test drive the 5-series, they had a cute girl escort me. I recognised her as one of the models that usually grace car events. She was one of the girls at the Honda Civic launch. Back to the car. The BMW 525i felt totally different. Throttle response was exactly what I imagined it to be. I am convinced that there was something wrong with the BMW 325i that I tested. I was there pretty late in the evening so perhaps it was trashed earlier in the day, so something had gone wrong with the transmission.

Some have speculated that the new 2007 Honda Stream would have the same Multiplex dashboard meter layout as the 2006 Honda Civic, since it does share the same platform but it looks like the new Stream takes on a more conservative meter layout. But the steering wheel is similiar to the three spoke design used on the 2006 Honda Civic.

I'm sure then that those who commented that the EK was their ultimate Civic would drool at the first sight of the hatch Civic - can't wait to get my hands on one... see the UK honda site: www.honda.co.uk guys, it’s a pity that Honda’s not bringing in the hatchback version of the Civic into Malaysia… I’m sure then that those who commented that the EK was their ultimate Civic would drool at the first sight of the hatch Civic – can’t wait to get my hands on one…

What is this?..... Are they trying to compare tht this model is better thn previous Accord?.. With fuel consumption of Wira's? Can someone explain this situation!
