    standard (on the high end of it) mileage for the year

    and it's a navigation model.

    120,000 k also means all the major servicing had been done (id hope).

    Considering the problem with your 06 you may got a model that had it's cluster replaced... or not serviced properly

    Problem? I got no problem with mine what's so ever

    Mine has a full service history and I know the Honda mech that serviced it from new
    So yeah 40,xxxks all original and I'm not worried about the major services , least ill know it was done right, and I got a shit load of driving to do till I get to 120,xxxks lol
    That's just me I prefer a car with low mileage
    People are different tho

    Because GTi

    Because at least they are tryin instead of flogging of decade old engines as "new".

    Something Honda forgot how to make, excitement and innovative engineering.

    Remember Honda still holds the transmission recall world record

    Honda might be repackaging decade old technology but at least they're satisfying their target market here in Australia: http://news.drive.com.au/drive/motor...128-2ad12.html

    But what's up with Volkswagen's positioning.... maybe some closed ears regarding concerns about their avantgarde, innovative technology.

    I don't think any of you can judge how much ready I am to jump into another Accord euro or Civic Hatch. Any time of the day I say. So no, don't question my fanboyism for Honda.

    However, being very curiously minded myself I'm pretty keen on the TSI 90 engine they've got, you know the 1.4L turbo charge engine that can deliver 90Kw and 200Nm torque between 1500-4000 rpm.

    Where Honda engine is fine but you dont get all that torque cl9 218Nm until you hit 4500rpm, how often does one drive in that range ?

    And I don't really do much spirit driving so I think the VW engine would suit me really well

    Before any of you say TSI 118 is blowing up left right and Center, why I still go for a VW, I am simply avoid that specific engine and go for the next one down. My guess is the 1.4L engine is too little to be push by twin turbo all the time. Hence they blown up often?

    Other than that

    I actually going to pick up a TSI 90 Trend-line next week . I think it is a good deal because I am gonna be the second owner, she only did 15k km, perfect log book and receipt for service from dealer. For $18k I am getting a near new car, no warranty left so I can service it myself or at least learn to. 5 stars safety rating , cruise control, steering wheel mount multi control and they sum up plenty much of what I need in a city car.

    Touch wood I hope this would last me a long time.
