I agree Honda car is good in terms of look. Other than that, a car buyer must also pay close attention to service and warranty policy. I had shock of my life when I was told Honda cars must be serviced every 3 months or else the 3 years warranty will be void no matter you are using mineral or synthetic oil. Meaning to say, you have got to send your car for service every 3 months even though your car has traveled a short distance since the previous service.

For those who already bought a new Honda car, make sure that you get all the 3 free services promised done within 6 months no matter what your car mileage is or else it will be void.

Recently, I sent my car for the 3rd free service and was denied the privilege. My car at that time was only 8 months old, mileage at 10 100. The problem is that, I was unaware of this policy when I got the car. The sales person did not highlight this policy when delivering the car. To make things worse, it is not mentioned clearly in the service booklet. I called up to the Customer Relationship Department (CRD) but to no avail. They strictly hold on to their policy. They are not helpful at all. No leniency practiced. Customer is not given priority.

As I also own a Toyota, I can say that Toyota is way much better in the area of customer service. Customers are treated with care and concern. For Toyota, customers do not have to follow the service schedule strictly as long as they send their cars for service after the recommended distance. (10 000 Km for full synthetic oil and 5000 Km for mineral oil)

In summary, Toyota cars are cheaper to maintain even though Honda may claim that their charges per car service is lower. My next car would definitely be a TOYOTA, for sure. I regretted buying a Honda indeed. Think twice before buying a Honda!

This is my true story, I was like looking around for a spankin new ride for myself, and I was considering and also test-driven Civic(very common), and sedan is never my style, its too common and uncle-looking. Then I tried Caldina (Very striking look but also common now,its my second choice), then I tried Polo Golf( my first choice!!), move on to MiniCooper(older 140K version,looked dated). Before I seal the deal and get myself a Golf, I start contemplating on raising the bar and tested out the Merc A-class Brabus offered at a tempting RM160K-180K(I forgot the exact price, but damn its cramp and uncomfortable), at the same time I tested an unreg B-Class at only 160K(so comfortable…it immediately became my new 1st choice!!).

Along came the Jazz V-spec, test driven it 2 months after launch, and fall for the strange look,comfort and spacious interior, and driving manner. Placed order after the ‘’sales-pitch” which comes after the ”test drive”….Then only I found out its fc.kin overprice compare to Thailand and Indonesia, be-warned!! lack of research will cost you!! mmm…like RM50K!!

Speechless.
