Not really happy with my Accord 06 - 4/25/2006 11:46:48 PM    thamts   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/22/2006 Status: offline Hi members, I am new to this forum. It does not sound good, nevertheless wish to share with fellow members that I am not really happy after buying my Accord in Feb' 06. Since I am from Malaysia, I notice that it is world apart. What you guys own in US and I what have is indeed differs very much in specs though it is called Accord 06. Post #: 1

She tells me that Protons which are made there are reasonably cheap. However cars that are imported are very expensive. Would like to know if this has changed as maybe thamts paid alot of money for the Accord. _____________________________ I only follow the Ferraris - Luigi (Owner of Casa Della Tires) (in reply to sir_nasty) Post #: 7

RE: Not really happy with my Accord 06 - 4/27/2006 3:41:07 AM    thamts   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/22/2006 Status: offline Thanks for overwhelming replies. malcqv: I paid Ringgit Malaysia 168,000 (approximately USD44,000) including taxes or what we call as on the road price. The gov has lowered the taxes to comply with Asian Tree Trade Agreement, however for the price I paid I could have bought a much more better car in US. BTW Malaysia is currently a nett exporter of crude oil and we pay RM1.92 per litre for unleaded RON92. sir_nasty: Sorry I do not have any pictures, but the car looks exactly the same from the outside. I am yet to get more info on the engine, for now what I know it is a 4 cylinder DOHC-VTEC engine. Certainly it does not meet the standard safety features as the US or International. The Audio Player only allows you to play Audio CD, not even an MP3, worst still I can't plug in an iPod. RTexasF: I also have the feeling, it could be a Malaysian version. Honda should seriously consider in standardizing their models globally, I trust they are not making Malaysia as a dumping ground for their unsold and outdated models. (in reply to malcqv) Post #: 8
