[Seraph]

What to pick

Considering these two cars...

1.8
-better fc:slug:
-better resale value

2.0
-leather seats
-more power
-steering manual shifter
-hid lights
-signal lights at side mirros

difference between the two repayment 200-300

get 2.0 i-vtec ! i have try drive 1.8 ivtec no power but better fc !

 

[arrowhead]

2.0 bro. later u will surely regret if u get the 1.8.

im sure the 2.0 FC is also ok, just if u compare with the 1.8, its worst la.

2.0 also has better interior, all black. 1.8's interior is beige - abit uncle if u ask me, and it gets dirty very easily.

my dad owns a 1.8, and the power is enough, whatmore a 2.0!

the FD1 is good enough.

have you test driven both?

you wont miss the paddle shifters. it's novelty wears off fast.

thinking about this and reading around i found this conclusion....

1.8 vs 2.0
pickup = draw
0-100 = 2.0 win
top end = 2.0 win
normal driving from 0-120kmh = draw
so you'll only notice the difference if you drive like a riceboy and wanna reach the speed limit (and saman) faster

1. Steering buttons - like someone said if you're ICE guy like me not having it reduces the headache later on when I get fedup of the standard sound system but don't wanna change coz new ICE won't work with it.

2. RIM & Tires - definately changing those, probably might even re-use my current 15" ultralights

3. HID - the original HID from Honda won't give you the same HID you'd expect from a BMW/Harrier so just make that RM150 (if u trust china stuff) mod or a decent Philips/Bosch setup at RM800

4. 6 CD Player - same with (1)
5. Aircond filter - seriously I think this will be the cheapest mod.

6. Leather seats - well i suppose can get leather seats elsewhere and it doesn't have to be blue only without rear pockets, and i've got leather seats on my car now....always thinking twice before i wanna install bucket seats so without them changing to buckets

7. Paddle shifters - probably only need it as a show off piece, everyday running probably not going to use, except runs up to genting and traffic light racing with mat wira

so what is the best choice??

 

[affiq]

well....if u're looking for a car just for a normal ride...the 1.8 is enuff.....now u can get lether seats for the 1.8 too...the 2.0...not that much diff lah...

 

[remyzahran]

oh......im very2 pening right now....on paper honda said 1.8 1liter petrol get 14km....2.0 get 11km...2.0 very makan petrol ah??

 

[iJact]

guys...go check the 1.8S-L..new spec for 1.8 model
leather seat..cruise control..side mirror signal are inclusive..and many more..
but no pedal shifters..go check..

 

[arrowhead]

15" rims on a FD? bro cannot la.... 16s also looks small... 15 even worst... hahaha...

i still stick to 2.0, however the 1.8 is also actually enough if u ask me. and honestly, 200-300 per month, can do alot of other things, like maybe help with petrol, repairs, or even electricity bills!

for practicality sake, get the 1.8, throw in a solid sexy 17" and some basic skirts and wahlah, sexy daily drive.. with sufficient power and good FC to go with that... thats just my opinion..

cheers.
