If there’s a Toyota die hard fan out there who’s willing to pay more 100k for Corolla Altis 1.8E Sporty with freaking old 4 speed auto (Super ECT…yeah rite!), you think there won’t be any Honda die hard fan who’s willing to pay 110k for a 1.5 cool stylo minivan? Sure got wan…different people got different taste mah! It’s their money…their choice la. King Samurai said it best, better wait and see since the HP loan interest is quite high right now.

I rather pick the Suzuki SX4 which cost around 91k and must come in white (saw it and love it). Plus, I got nearly 20k extra to spend. What? Fuel consumption? Haiya, i-DSI ke, i-VTEC ke…all depends on the driver la. Heavy foot, heavy fuel consumption la…light foot, you all know lah. Just wait till the launch lah…

Happy motoring everyone!

Any chance of slipping in a K20A in there?

Wah, the BLUE colour was like a blue sea colour kinda’ like a soft blue. The WHITE colour really interesting too…

What is the price for:
1. Lancer 2.0GT? ANS: RM115,980 OTR. RM6K more
2. Nissan Slyphy 2.0 (Comfort)? ANS: RM113,584 OTR. RM3.6K more
3. …… civic 1.8… or … altis 1.8.. put in perspective, its over-price, again.

If image is important or want similar size car or design.. then loosely similar looking car like the Suzuki Swift, Toyota Yaris and 206 Bestari (to name a few) is cheaper. Heard there is a plan to CKD the new Peugeot 308 at <RM100K .. that might be next year at the earliest, i dunno… but that’s a saving of more than RM30K than the CBU 307 and to see a similar size CKD european car priced lower than CKD/asean jap is rare indeed. the first that i know of was the peugeot 407 ckd.

Me think Jazz is overpriced, as always. we shouldn’t be forced to pay a huge ‘premium’ just to be a little ’stylo’.. Beside, Jazz might be the craze back then, as it is a revelation, so fresh people r attracted to it immediately. plus it was very different from the rest, but nowadays even the new Jazz would not be a revolutionary, a revelation and have high-impact as the first-gen Jazz. it might still able to ride on the craze wave again, but that wave is ‘bukan musim’ nowaday. absolutely not as big as before..

dimension-wise, Jazz is quite similar to Myvi! But double the price..

like king samurai advised, now is time of trouble, becareful what u yearn for..

or better to get Slyphy 2.0 for 110K ?
or Lancer GT 2.0 for 110K ?

Expected pricing here RM110k but I think it will be closer to RM105k. Still on the pricey side considering AFTA is supposed to bring the tax down to 5%. After all, the previous version from Thailand has been RM103k for 3 years but the tax has supposed to have been reduced progressively??

I suppose main dealers will always price according to what they think people are willing to paying relation to competitors products in the market place -. eg Honda Accord 2.0 is priced considerably higher than CRV 2.0 in Singapore but reverse true in Malaysia due to pricing of Camrys.

Any comments??

Hi all,
Today just passby Honda dealer and accidently peeped the new Jazz. Surprise! It is White & Blue color. The Blue one is for test drive. Both color look nice to me. Interior is very futuristic too. But I think still not the highest spec compare to S’pore version. According to sales rep, total hv 2 specs, 1 with pedal shift n another w/o. Both r 1.5. The White n Blue spotted both c/w pedal. Total color offer r White, Blue, Black & Silver. Rear brake is disk if not mistake, not sure for the low spec. Price….. wait until 20th Aug.

—————————————————————-
To all out there also, Yes the new Jazz is launching very soon (20th Aug nationwide as what pajeroio said)..Yes there hv 2 specs (w pedal shift n w/o pedal shift) and both arte 1.5 litre engine only (those tat are hoping for 1.2,1.3…sorry to say, malaysia will not having those model). It comes with 4 colours. Front and rear are disc brake and comes with a 15″ n 16″ inch alloy wheel (15″ for w/o pedal shift n 16″ for w pedal shift like the spotted one). Prices is say to be about RM110++ but do come to any honda dealer to see for urself some of the techno the car offer (see the front side sill garnish n how to open the fuel lid) plus one last thing, it’s come with a 5 speed auto transmission

it will sell well in malaysia..truly good looking car..

now that jazz is goin to be launched by this month, that means 6 more months will come the new city! hopefully

vw polo gti, rm109k promo price, 1.8l turbo engine + CBU from gemany. no fight? (only available in manual though)

———————–
thats actually a good price. over here the polo gti sells about 10-15k rm above the jazz basic. i thought golf gtis and polo are from south africa or something.

nowadays its paddle shift. but if i was buying a mx5 or a honda euro with well sorted gear boxes and clutches….i would get manual. everything else would be semi auto. i personally think the jazz should be the entry level and price for a honda. even in msia.

but the jazz doesnt sell well everywhere in the world.. most japanese cars, and that includes the mighty toyota, dont sell well in europe at all.

Maybe im just not into these small cc no butt cars.

Honda Japan might have built a car that’s reliable and with high quality and technology.

Sadly, the Melaka assembly plant seem to enjoy tarnishing the Honda brand with their low assembly quality. After that, the Honda service centers all around the country destroy the credibility of Honda altogether with their bad attitude, very unprofessional service and cincai job.

But when this happen where do you turn to ? Nobody in Honda Malaysia will entertain you.

I know, I got a Honda City.

Malaysia Boleh !! (.. menjahanamkan apa2 saja).

p/s Love my Honda, and love to strangle the local Honda assembler and serviceman.
