Guest Honda Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 CRV is such an underrated car. My dad had it for 10 yrs and after he passed on, I extended the COE and drove it for another 5 yrs. Throughout the 15 yrs, it has hardly given us any major issues sans the usual oil change, tyre replacement, aircon gas top up etc. I am now driving 2017 2.4L model and love every bit of the commanding high driving position and wide wheel base stability.

I totally agree man. I love CRVs - the older models had a masculine and rugged look and the seats inside are somehow always very plush. But the latest model looks more posh and sleek, and it uses the horrible EarthDreams CVT gearbox that sounds like a washing machine when the car is revved hard. I like SUVs in general: the Forester/Tucson/CRV/RAV4 are all cars I'd gladly pick haha. Quote

I never have to ferry anyone as most of my friends drive and I don't live with my family, but I like the boot space and practicality of these cars (I can just fling my gym bag and shoes into the boot, or when I want to bring my dog to the park). These days I'm trying to get a car that I actually like rather than a car that might make financial sense. If I just wanted a point A to B car I'd have gotten a Mitsubishi Attrage or Hyundai Accent already, but I like motoring and positive driving experiences so I don't mind spending a bit more on it.

People who need a car, need a car. And many young people still seem to want to own a car - seeing from first-hand experience at the showroom how many people below 35 still come and buy their first car (we know because no trade-in). 9 hours ago, Guest Guest said: Buy new or preowned? now that COE is low, better to buy new. Coz most of the pre-owned cars have COEs above $40,000, which means you lose $4,000 per annum on the COE itself - compared to the current $25,920 where you only lose $2,600 on the COE per annum. calvt 1 Quote

Those with bowties aren't SCs - they're models Audi hired to assist the SCs during the motorshow. The standard of their models this year dipped quite a bit: they seem to be more shrivelled this year.

Yes, 1 car model will be assigned 1 or 2 male models, and these "model ambassadors" will be briefed extensively on that particular car they 're standing at. They can answer basic queries (e.g. horsepower/torque, features it comes with) but for pricing and discount structures they will have to refer the customer to a salesperson who will then try to close the deal. Hence they're not just a pretty face haha. Apparently Premium Automobiles are very strict about the guys being knowledgeable: I've a couple of friends there who told me that 2 of the guys who did the 2018 Motorshow had their contracts with PA terminated because they gave wrong information to customers. This is as far as I know, lah. As to why PA hires more male models than the females, I suppose you'll have to ask the marketing and communications manager Nian Tjoe. Might be his scope of work lol.

Nian Tjoe married? If not high chance gay, that's why he hires cutie models. Giving wrong information to customers consider big mistake, confirmed must be terminated. Such mistake is not internally but made externally, cannot one. Now i know those "SE" at every year motorshow audi booth are models. No wonder they look so attractive, if one of them come to attend to me, i might ended up buy the car if i have the money. I saw one male model was explaining to a customer on one of the audi model, this make model not only look cute but can also see his hot toned bod under that white bowties shirt. Quote
calvt Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) i was gathering flyers from the car show for my uncle as he wants to change car. since no one talk to me because i look young so i just talk to the car show girls. got pretty good recommendations from a korean booth. he went back next day and ordered A3.

It's not entirely KM's fault either: the OMV of Honda cars are rather high. Guess the brand wants to market itself as a premium Japanese brand so the factory charges the dealers higher for the cars.

Honda also uses TAKATA brand OEM safety airbags , and I dont think they are taking it seriously enough to recall and replace the self exploding airbags that have self inflated midway while driving in a lot of cars causing fatalities and serious injuries to innocent car drivers. Hondas airbags are ticking time bombs ? Are sg hondas equipped with faulty Takata airbags? Quote

Find elantra AD interior and exterior looks nicer than the current avante. But if the price is attractive and coe continue to drop, many people would buy avante. Nian Tjoe is his 40s? Still consider not that old. If a person maintain well, even in 50s still look good. If honda SE is hao lian, then toyota SE how? Heard so many stories that toyota SE very stuck up, because toyota cars sell well even it is overpriced. Quote

Guest guest Posted September 13 Posted September 13 can get those 2-3yr COE left Jap cars, depre also around $12k/yr unless you are v confident your car is problem free for the next few years dont forget if you renew the COE, your forgo the PARF rebate you can reclaim back if you scrap/export so renewing for 5 yrs is not the best option commercially Quote
Guest guest Posted September 26 Posted September 26 If want to extend coe for your current car, better to renew 10 years. If scrap the car after renew coe, still can get back remaining coe. Quote
