Paladin Neutral Newbie October 24, 2007 Share October 24, 2007 Honda Airwave is equipped with a 1.5 liter VTEC engine Lancer EX 1.5 Sports is still new n ex maybe wait till next year then buy. Not really. Correct me if I am wrong. The 1.5 EX is using the same engine as the Colt Plus. But think it is DOHC with MIVEC as compare to Colt plus which is only SOHC. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surferguy1978 1st Gear October 24, 2007 Share October 24, 2007 paiseh, i a bit slow... wat u mean by don't want to be driving a taxi? is it the lancer ex 2.0 as noisy as a taxi? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosicky Neutral Newbie October 25, 2007 Author Share October 25, 2007 depends on the PI u go to. The bigger players like C**T****, V**C** did not really drop their price after the coe drop, around 70k for guaranteed coe. Other smaller players like F***k** and S*** ~65k can get liao. This is for the sky roof model. No sky rook minus 2-3k depends on PI. Its a bit pricey given that airwave omv now oni about 15k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaloryalor 5th Gear October 25, 2007 Share October 25, 2007 My friend is driving the Lancer EX GT, the sound during pick up is really loud.. But the overall shape and design is good and sporty! Airwave I test drove once, the pick up was slow maybe due to the heavy body. But I have a friend who mod his Airwave then the pick up really smooth liao! haha.. Overall I still recommend Airwave. There are few PI bros here. You can ask around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_young_once Neutral Newbie October 25, 2007 Share October 25, 2007 bro, some people may mind, some may not, personally i dont mind IF lah, IF i can afford and i got an E-class merc, story is different isnt it? eg, if someone has a airwave/wish, people will say "that guy drive taxi model" but if someone has a merc E, people will say "that guy drive a merc" both are taxi models anyway mindset lah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weihui Clutched October 25, 2007 Share October 25, 2007 Not really. Correct me if I am wrong. The 1.5 EX is using the same engine as the Colt Plus. But think it is DOHC with MIVEC as compare to Colt plus which is only SOHC. Colt Plus / Colt 05 all use new aluminum block DOHC MIVEC 4A91. This engine is newly co-developed with Daimler Chrysler.

Edix73 Neutral Newbie October 25, 2007 Share October 25, 2007 yap, u are right...most of the time it's the mindset. but i am sure if that guy is driving a merc E, dun think he would want it in white color... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_young_once Neutral Newbie October 25, 2007 Share October 25, 2007 yah man, but you recall in the 80s/90s merc was most often seen white colour, its almost as if: if you got a merc, 80% chance its white but anyway for thread topic, my choice i go with airwave, dont really like the lancer EX/galant/mazda 3---etc, that kind of 'looks' and what more people mentioned engine noisy etc, mated to a cvt, not really my cup of tea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Route88 2nd Gear October 25, 2007 Share October 25, 2007 Airwave got 5 version? Price range 62K - 72K Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosicky Neutral Newbie October 25, 2007 Author Share October 25, 2007 (edited) there is 2 main versions now, m and sky. but i think most of the pi bring in the m with skyroof option and not the real sky model. but for 63k, the lancer ex comes with quite a lot of features - keyless entry - immobiliser - factory tinted glass - rain detector - auto detect headlights - 16 inch sports rims - integrated audio - air bags - leather seats - sporty noise Edited October 25, 2007 by Rosicky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route88 2nd Gear October 25, 2007 Share October 25, 2007 Then u gotto weigh between both....Honda or Mitsu Sporty noise can mask with more noise with SPL ice or the loudest exhaust you can find Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazon777 3rd Gear October 25, 2007 Share October 25, 2007 (edited) Ask yourself this question. Do you and your family get excited when you see a Honda Airwave or a Lancer Ex on the road. If Airwave is a 7 seaters, it is a clear cut choice. Edited October 25, 2007 by Amazon777 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosicky Neutral Newbie October 25, 2007 Author Share October 25, 2007 wow...this makes things complex. My family was excited when they see the airwave, i am excited when i see the lancer ex. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesfreq Neutral Newbie October 25, 2007 Share October 25, 2007 Hmm... there can only be one tough choice.... BUY both. They pay for airwave, u pay for lancer ex. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
