Collins Rockdale Honda

(without bargaining or anything...actually i went on a saturday and all the sales people except the manager was too busy to talk to me for a preferred introductory length)

City VTI (Auto)
$26.5k drive away

City VTI-L (Auto)
$28, 600 drive away

Compared with Civic VTI (auto)
$28.6k drive away

Also quoted from Rosebury honda...except BOTH salemen that I talked to were really rude.

They quoted:

City VTI - $26,463
VTI-L - $29, 038

Civic VTI - $28,831

As mentioned b4 VTI-L has tilt+telescopic steering wheel adjustments, alloy wheels, premium cloth seats (apparently thicker...???) and a bunch of gimmics, including chrome door handles, aluminium interior linings of some sort, Chrome exhaust, Fog Lights (ok its useful in hazardous environments but i still rekon it's a gimmick).

Think it's worth it to get VTI-L above VTI?

I know the City is usually compared with the Jazz but I dun like the look for the Jazz. Actually i'm kinda sick of hatchbacks...lol (prefering the look of sedans more although some hatchbacks look hot =P)

I'm sorta comparing it with the somewhat more superior and well-known Civic. Honeslty, i like the exterioir look of City more than the civic. Interioir, civic looks nicer. More importantly, mechanically the civic has a 1.8L engine while the city only has a 1.5L (then again the civic is bigger). Also the City atm lacks stability and traction control (i think) while the civic has them...dunno how important this is though.

I'm planning to also check out the Honda @ Sutherland but haven't had time to do that yet.

Oh btw, i'm about 5 11'' and there's plenty of leg room and head room for me in the city. HOWEVER i have not test driven the car yet, just sat in it and stuff. Planning to test drive when i have time.

Oh yea, i'm also a young male =P looking for a small, somewhat more manly car which i can afford but more importantly has a good resell value after 5 yrs and is RELIABLE + efficient above everything else.

Cheers
