Which car should i get ?
Budget to buy a car is about $60k...
Few Options to consider...

Toyota Rush (Lime Green)

[1.5 Lady's SUV, est $68k+]


Honda Civic (Black) , 8th generation

[1.6, est $75k+]
Toyota Altis (White)
[1.6, est $68k+]
Finally the new Altis (with some of the Camry's feature) is here!
Went with my sister-in-law Geraldine and brother Marcus to both Toyota and Honda showrooms.
I went to view the car with the intention all ready to buy the new Altis with Geraldine. Hoping to get more rebates when we buy together. I was determined to buy Altis as i have heard so much about it and seen it in New Zealand last year.
I felt Honda was a little high-ended...so did not think too much about it. However, when i saw Honda Civics on the road i simply envy the driver behind the wheel.
Went to Honda showroom, walked around and admire the Honda Civic 1.6 and 1.8. Sat in it a few times rotating between the driver's seat (the sporty cockpit is so cool, digital meter wow!) and passengers' seat (spacious and so comfortable) :D The design was indeed aerodynamic and state-of-the-art!
Geraldine : Want to test drive?
Me : Hmm...no need (in my heart ..it was like wow such a sleek car, really like the physical form of the car but...always a but...)
Geraldine : Sure?
Me : Hmm...think no need
(kept thinking in my heart how nice if i can afford it?)
Geraldine : Let's go over to Toyota's showroom
Me : Yeah!
Went over to Toyota showroom and headed straight to Altis. Sat at the driver's seat to see if i could feel any connection with it. More compartments and a dvd player (caught my eyes)...
An ancle came in and sat next to me..."he went ouch!" and i wondered what happened. He hit his head at the car roof. Then we realised that the car roof was low. I went behind to sit at the passenger's seat and straight away i did not really like it as it was kind of uncomfortable.
So we proceeded to test drive the car. The feel was not as good as the old Altis which my dad drives. The speed did not pick up as fast as i expected compare to my dad's. I did not feel as exhilarated as i should be then...feel was only so so. All 3 of us test drove and had a discussion after that. The price was $65 800 and the car was made in Thailand.
We decided to go back to Honda. Asked to test drive the car. Geraldine wanted to test drive first. I had a chance to sit at the passengers' seat and it was already so comfortable and spacious. When it was my turn to test drive i was already feeling excited. The moment i took the wheel and drove...the feel is indescribable. Sooo shiok! The drive was so smooth!
That was it! Did some calculations and decided to buy Honda Civic. Asked to include the DVD and the agent agreed. Deal sealed at $70,600. This was my biggest $$$ payout but i was satisfied. I am finally owned a Japan-made car :D
Can't wait for the new car to arrive!
Decided to get white colour.
Part 2
A week later, received sms that says "COE at $15389, new car expected to arrive 3 weeks time.
Another sms came and showed 3 weeks time, you may collect your car. I simply could not contain my joy. My family was equally happy and looking forward to seeing the new car :D
2 weeks passed, "New car number SJE XXXX C "..haha everyone in the family bought the number.
Collected the car and it was like collecting a new born baby. So new and so fragile...i drove very slowly during the first 2 weeks ...was so afraid to ......avoided lorries and pickups...not easy.
