The Honda Lovers Thread

[roaddog z]

Now comes the price issue - more or less than the Toyota Fortuner?

[Seyer95]

Toyota Altis. Toyota has the best engine performance.

Have you guys watch WRC car rally in AXN?

I have not seen any Honda car compete at WRC.

[ngobry]

as for now, i would choose the civic over the altis.

new altis coming out next year, looks like the new camry up front.

[ngobry]

yeah, has some similarities with old rav4 in my opinion, doesnt like the new crv as much. first impressions, looks like ssangyong. tsk tsk tsk

Hi Honda Experts,

 

I need some help! I bought my Honda Civic 2.0 two years ago. I am thinking of

changing to the latest model but something is wrong with my present 2.0 that

makes me wonder whether I should stick with Honda.

 

You see the problem arose when I brought the car out of town. The road has

some bumpy stretches and there was once I hit a bump quite hard but honestly

I felt it should have no ill effect on the car because the bump wasn't that bad.

Because the journey involved going uphill and downhill I used a lot of the brake.

Then when returning and going downhill and as I was braking I felt the car was

shaking badly. It became so bad that the steering wheel was vibrating everytime

I brake.

 

Before this trip I change my four tires but I did not go for wheel balancing or car alingement.

Immediately after the trip I sent the car for wheel balancing and car alingement and even

change a brand new brake pad thinking the problem has to do with wheel balancing and car

alingement and thin brake pad. But to my surpirse the problem persists. Whenever I brake,

I felt the car very different and even especially at fast speed the steering wheel starts to jerk.

I let a lady drove my car and she immediately told me my car is wobbling especially at high speed.

 

I sent the car to Honda because it was under warranty. But everytime I sent and complain they

gave the excuse it is the new tires. But I felt that there is more to it. Three times they said they did the wheel

balancing and three times my car was not fixed by Honda. I became irritated and told them that

I am willing to change my entire four tires but if the problem still persists I would be very angry with

them because why should I spend so much money when the problem is not with the tires. I felt that

there is something wrong with the suspension or something has broken and they are not willing to change

it because it is expensive and I don't have to pay because my car is still under warranty.

 

Can some kind Honda expert gives me some analysis as to the real problem of my car so that I can

deal with those Honda personnel with some knowledge. I appreicate your assistance

Pina check mo na ba Ball Joints and CV joints mo? Sa steering nalimutan ko lang yung tawag dun may parang letter V na plastic like connector papunta sa tie rods mo. Patingnan mo rin yun.

 

I do use a Civic and always got to Sampaloc and Mauban Quezon na off road to rough road na 40 km so yun ang mga nasisira sa akin. Naglagay din ako ng lifter para hindi ako sumayad.

 

So far I'm doing 180 kph walang kalog. At 140 kph pwede mo pa bitawan manibela sa skyway.

 

Hindi ako nagpapagawa sa kasa kasi mga bobo at mga tamad mga mekaniko sa mga kasa kasi swelduhan lang.

 

Mas ok pa minsan mga kaibigan or suki natin na talyer pero babantayan mo rin at sisilipin mo rin ilalim para makita mo extent ng damage.

 

Go to any gas station na may lifter then pag angat kalugin mo front wheels mo orbital direction habang naka lock ang steering mo. Use umbrela lock manghiram ka na lang kabit mo sa clutch at steering then kalugin mo and you will see the problem.

Thanks a lot for the advice. Merry Christmas

Since the new altis will be released in 2008, civic is a better choice until then.

[ariel_reyes1977]

I prefer a Toyota Altis.

[pangcarshow]

ewan ko ba bkit lagi nagreredesign ang altis. pero ok lang atleast d parin laos kaming mga 9thgen corolla altis hehe

[ronaldcu]

toyota altis pa dn. low maintenance costs.

[tom134]

Civic ako. Baba lang din maint costs e...ung first brand new car ko kc, corolla 1.6...parang lemon sa dami ng problema...swirtch tuloy ako sa civic :cool:

[dlastknight]

Hands Down the CIVIC.....

[dlastknight]

Beside, the civic has the most parts available, wheter aftermarket or surplus. the civic has by far the most parts you can buy in any of the sport compact cars...

[hydrogen]

nakakita n ba kayo ng CiViC na taxi? ................. may hihirit p b???

 

altis na taxi meron.. cheap kc ang altis..

 

CiViC = Looks (Gwapo) + Performance + Class

 

Altis = ?
