SV4 is heavier than Civic and Corolla. Might not be as agile than the both of them. Stability at high speed might be better though. Roadtax also more expensive for 2.2 litre...
So no longer a budget used car :rofl:
If want consider SV4 then Prelude is also another to consider.

yup, roadtax is expensive & its 20 yrs old car. going for d manual transmission might be better option for cheaper maintenance.. sourcing for part might be slightly hard & expensive if kedai potong dun have it. but dis car is still really look nice wor..

Wa, the old one got 4WS system. Four Wheel Steering. I wonder still working or not.

But why the 2nd Prelude is being sold so cheap under 20k. Even EK Civic is not easy to get such price. Probably because it is auto and expensive maintenance?

Heard it drinks fuel like crazy :rofl: Is a nice design car but not fancy by many. Other than that I'm not sure why.

Guys,

Plan to bring in an used car for my mid range distance travel.
Due to budget concern,
yrs 1993 7th gen Toyota 1.6L SEG (M) and 5th gen Honda Civic 1.6L EFI (M) are short listed in my plan.

Need opinion here:

- Which car have

1) Cheaper maintenance cost
2) Handling
3) Better fuel consumption
4) After market performance parts
5) Better Chassis quality
6) Accessories support such power window, central locking etc.

Please advise... Thx :driver:
What is your budget ? mid range travel as in daily return way 100-150km ? Or mostly outstation ? Do you need carry stuff or passenger ? Also do you plan to mod the car or drive as stock ?

If turbo already, FC there will not be good anymore. Eh, we off track already. Don't 1.6 then jump to 2.2 NA and later jump to 2.0 turbo below. :rofl:
Because say Road Tax expensive, so to go back on track get a 1.6 and turbo it....hahhahhahah:rofl:

Alfa Romeo has been teasing us ever since it showed the 8C Competizione as a concept car way back in 2003 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Since then, the concept has been a fixture at every important international gathering, finally appearing in production form at Paris last fall and at Geneva in March.

The limited 500-unit run of the $200,000 supercar is reportedly spoken for, although Alfa has promised that it...
