Why Honda Accord Euro-R is not popular?

[Falc]

Euro R getting lesser meh why? Airtrek no longer selling that's why dwindling number.

Alot of normal JDM Accord though. Machiam more popular than camry.

[Verve]

perhaps, but in this case i was referring to chiongsters, style is really subjective so really can't put a finger on that but if that is the case, then there are really many other much more stylish options like 2dr integra or for 4 dr the legacy or mark x - for execs

[Verve]

its more economical in that sense but if you factor in the almost 20k price differential not forgetting extra compound interest, i think you will be able to at least match the savings over a ten year period

[Verve]

maybe so, but with reference to chiongsters the appeal would not be so strong already ( i was referring to chiongsters) and maybe in a price and value driven market in sg ( due to taxation) the euro r accord may not be such great value, and to add to that there are cars like mark x although not na that fill in the shoes of a fast but exec car much better as its more luxuriously appointed both exterior and interior plus it comes in auto - just my opinion i may be wrong

[Davidklt]

I disagree. I tend to see this as best of both worlds instead of the other way round.

 

Verve is right. euro R is neither chiong car nor exec car.. its like it doesnt know wat it wants to be...

 

For best value supercar, rex is best n cheaper too.

 

For best value exec, camry/cefiro is best for features & some more from authorized dealer.

 

Those who mod it spend alot just to make it abit faster but still slower 0-100kmh than stock rex. Those who dont mod it.. well they wont buy it in the first place...

Does anyone here knows how much for the cost of a 6 speed gearbox!!!

 

Euro R is design for Euro countries used, and among them prefer M/T in those countries, that Y Asia got JDM Accord. Rex is can't compare with Euro R even beside 6 speeds & LSD. I dun think ER will lose to a Rex too.

Camry/cefiro not value exec cars - it named uncle car.

Euro R has its unique features.

Its an enthusiast's car.

Not every driver will appreciate or be willing to pay for the combined features he or she is getting eg JDM specs (the japanese reserved the best for themselves), understated executive look, all round double wishbone suspension, LSD, 6 speed MT, > 100ps/litre normally aspirated engine, 8400 rpm redline, friendly fuel consumption (easily > 10 km/L), decent road tax and insurance etc.

bro, what do u meant 'decent road tax'

[Ck2998]

Its a 2 litre engine and Honda has managed to squeeze 220 horses out of it. To get this kind of power from NA engines of other makes,one would need to pay for a higher capacity engine (and higher road tax).

like tat also can ah!

 

Then I shld not book the civic si, must wait for civic T-R liao

Diff is 20k? Last i saw Euro R is going at about $85K at one PI leh

[Robin]

i agree. i would prefer the euro R over the Rex

if you compare Mark X and Euro R,they are altogether of different class.

Mark X focus on the luxurious side.while Euro R is abit of luxurious and more on sports.

Euro R has got lots of performance parts available to mod whle i don't think Mark X has got any.

but i do see more and more Mark X are filling our roads.

bro,i don't think the Euro R is design for Euro countries.maybe for teh older CL1 model.

but the latest CL7 should be a JDM model.Euro countries would be very happy if they got a K20A JDM engine on their side.

for Euro R against Rex,i think it has to depend on what type of race they are in.

if talking about 1/4 miles,i guess the rex should be faster.but on track,Euro R still stand a chance.

afterall the century sprint for Rex is about 2 sec faster than Euro R which is pretty much apart in distance.

Looking at the vast difference in performance specs, it doesnt take rocket science for one to figure that the rex will leave the euro r trailing.

Where did you get that price tag of $83k for Euro-R? I saw Mark X on the paper selling at $82k also... it's a joke.

Must be the gimmick of PI again. Take 100% loan for 10 years with an interest of 4%.

If you can get one at $83k brand new, I buy straight away at $85k from you. $2k for your kopi

 

Yes $83,888 only, Mirage motor pte ltd posted this price on their Web

don't know what gimmick in behind

When at NSHW, we will know who got to for which.
