		<description>Well said grazer:) i&#039;m now looking at honda civic, toyota altis, mazda 3 and peugeot 308. So far 308 is my personal choice coz of top safety features, specs, moonroof (actually tats a bonus) and is a continental  although have been strongly advised on poor resale value, exp parts, unknown reliability, poor aftersales service by colleagues, friends and wife. No wonder other cars cant sell. We claimed we love cars that are cool but when comes to getting one, we&#039;ll go get the safest choice. I admit i was &#039;burned&#039; in terms of resale value when i got myself hyundai elantra in 1996 but i enjoyed my drive while i had it. After proton waja and now myvi, i&#039;ve to think of a safe car for my new born daughter. </description>

		<description>Guess some of us are not so lucky to have both T &amp; H on our porch i guess. LOL.  
 
Anyway - look further from daddy&#039;s porch and you&#039;ll see that both big brother jap&#039;s models in neighboring countries enjoy higher specs at a lower price. Yeah - blame it on government policies all you want but at least try to comprehend this - if a Continental CKD can be sold at sub 110k (308?) with incredulous specs, why not the japs? Even the Koreans are coming up with very good models &amp; value for money!  
 
I do agree - after sales, spare parts, maintenance, resale value etc. will all be in the ecosystem of any brand/model/make - irregardless! Some have built up their names through the years and are able to command a hefty *ahem* margin on this ground - and slowly strip their offerings down model after model - shucks - those malaysians are suckers! Let&#039;s reuse the engine, do a facelift, launch as a new model and see if it sells! Oh yeah, let&#039;s strip off the leather, less wood trimmings more plastics etc. as we go. OMG!! It does SELL !!  
 
Why not? We&#039;re so gullible we stand back and preach &quot;THEY ARE THE ONLY CHOICE! ACCEPT THE FACT! ACCEPT!&quot; It&#039;s wonderful what hefty advertising dollars can do for your business.  
 
I don&#039;t know about you, but I find this sad. I don&#039;t own any of the makes you suggest. Open your mind and explore - I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll realise there&#039;s plenty of &quot;NO 2nd hand value&quot; brand/models that you&#039;ll learn to enjoy. TIP : Try Koreans as well - they&#039;re picking up real fast!  
 
Cheers ! </description>

<p>Why not? We&#039;re so gullible we stand back and preach &quot;THEY ARE THE ONLY CHOICE! ACCEPT THE FACT! ACCEPT!&quot; It&#039;s wonderful what hefty advertising dollars can do for your business. </p>
<p>I don&#039;t know about you, but I find this sad. I don&#039;t own any of the makes you suggest. Open your mind and explore &#8211; I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll realise there&#039;s plenty of &quot;NO 2nd hand value&quot; brand/models that you&#039;ll learn to enjoy. TIP : Try Koreans as well &#8211; they&#039;re picking up real fast! </p>
<p>Cheers !</p>

		<description>I just talking about the facts down here, and people already start to critisize me like a crying baby sitting beside my dad...... Why people down here always lost the their cool when discussion come to toyota, honda? Why people always critisize UMW toyota or Honda Malaysia give us cheap material and yet they still buy the cars? In this bolehland, we have no choice but to accept the fact: &quot;PROTON, PERODUA, HONDA &amp; TOYOTA ARE THE ONLY CHOICE FOR MOST OF MALAYSIAN&quot; </description>

		<description>One more thing, many ppls down here always critised malaysian always care about their car re-sale value. I think most of you guys never really feel the pain yet. Last yr when my father wanted to trade in his kia spectra (bought in 2004) to buy the civic, he still need to pay RM7k to settle the car loan! Not even mention he completely lost his RM30k downpayment and monthly installment down the yrs........ </description>

		<description>hey guys, i&#039;m so lucky that both honda civic 2.0 (bought in last yr Aug) and toyota altis 1.8G sporty (newly bought 1 week ago) are parked in my house car posh. So, i can really taste the driving feeling between honda &amp; toyota, unlike many ppls down here just compare the on paper specs, 5AT vs 4 AT, .... etc. 
 
In terms of tranmission, i don&#039;t really feel any advantage from the civic 2.0 5 speed gearbox. Yes, the Civic&#039;s acceleration still as fast as previous generation, but the new altis also give a very fast respond in acceleration once you step a bit on the throttle. 
 
In terms of reliability and driving smoothness, this is the major factor why those uncle choose toyota over honda. No doubt the sound proof, suspension in my new altis is far more better than my 1 yr old civic, although most of you would say toyota use cheap beam, lousy material......, etc. 
 
Right now my father not even want to step in the poor honda civic anymore. he is deeply &quot;fall in love&quot; with his &quot;mistress&quot; altis. 
 
Hope you guys before make comments, PLEASE do get a test drive first, DO NOT SIMPLY CRITISIZE BASE ON SPEC OR PHOTOS...... </description>

		<description>here in the Philippines, that new Altis reigned the compact segment for some time. after all, Civic continued to lead the C-segment and still sells like hotcakes. the problem with this generation of Altis is that it is trying hard to match a luxury car even though it is meant for that kind. </description>

		<description>As always people here condemn Toyota like hell in here but still Toyota leading the sales out there. Dont u guy do something real to stop this madness? 
 
Haa i know u just throw all your hatred to Toyota here, just like how u clear your wet dream. 
 
Come on wake up. Its not all about specs. Its the CAR as a whole.  
What good a car with thousands pages of specs but end up rattling plus engine knocking 2 days out of showroom? - normal for Honda Civic. Go to their fanclub websites for a full list of problems.   
 
What good a car that &#039;made in Japan&#039; but end up with jerky CVT and steering vibrates when braking after few month old - happens to Lancer GT 
 
Sylphy is smooth but they failed the thing that they so much advertised; the car ripples on uneven road? And that knocking steering seems to loud to live with.   
 
While in the mean time Altis stays cool and boring. Thats good coz sometimes we need a boring car to get all the other job done! </description>
