yup, the Focus is really underpower but handles much better than the Civic nod.gifnod.gifnod.gif which suits my driving style but I love the VTEC, even it's SOHC & 115BHP wink.gifwink.gifwink.gif

the performance is not bad for a 1.6....engine very smooth for a sohc...but if u wanna feel more kick..have to go with a manual tranny...

frankly i think honda makes the best SOHC engine in the industry...its smooth..smoother than most DOHC engines in fact...

i juz test drove the car...havent really turned on the VTEC but its quite eager to go n handling is not too bad... [nod]

 

but for $11k more...1.7L is not worth the extra money

yeah its for the SG market 2004 model....minus the top antenna of coz... [;)]

 

no more SIR coz i think its not cost effective...KM will have to sell it for abt 125K like the PIs..which will clash with their Accord range...so no segment for it... [:/]

i think the model that looks good is only the RS one with body kits...but the new 2004 really looks quite fierce in real life...esp the front lights...the interior has also improved with nicer sportier seats with leather.... [thumbsup]

even though its in the 1.6L bracket...i think the Civic caters to a different crowd as the Altis...

Corolla Altis has always been a 'family' car...conservative and comfortable whereas the Civic caters for the younger crowd towards performance and more spirited driving...so depending on wats ur needs...the choice is clear... [nod]

 

moreover...now the Altis are Thai made...Civics are still from the land of the rising sun [thumbsup]
