Hihi,

For the RX8, currently I am driving auto, will only trade in for a MT if there is a better upgraded version of the 8, like factory FI.

Or when Evo 10 or the new Honda Civic Type R comes out, hehe

Meanwhile, very happy with the auto 8, not great for tracking, but definitely still fantastic for long cruising, Sheer Driving Pleasure.

If you are having second thoughts about your car here be it AT or MT, it only shows that you did not do a proper research before you bought the car.

When i see bros in the US buy and sell cars so easily; i get envious.

Just changing from my 1 year old CRV to the 8 incurred me a loss of S$45k.

Petrol here is about S$1.80 after discounts, compared to S$0.80 in the states. And not to mentioned the already cheap car prices there. So changing behicles there is not much a problem; and if you factor in the standard of living and average pay, cars are real affordable there.

And do not forget the "unique" way banks here charge interest rates upfront for car financing.

Talking about pricing for cars, is it pretty accurate to gauge the prices of cars that hits our shores in this manner?

OMV x 2.5 + COE = New car price.

Add 5% GST, radio license, insurance, road tax and other "dubious" charges.

And the running costs of ERP, parking, etc.

I wouldn't think it makes too much difference between the AT and MT in pricing, at most you just save up for a few months, no?
