We had already seen the Civic Type R sedan and we both agreed that whilst it look great, it just had a much more powerful engine compared to the normal sedan. There was no huge styling differences that set it apart from the norm. Th UK made Type R however looks totally different from any Civic on the market now. It definitely wins you over with its agressive lines down the side and incredible looking triangular exhausts. Annoyingly, Kah Motor didn’t allow us to get into the interior citing dangers with children releasing the handbrake and causing a danger.

I did a quick look through the net for print reviews (watching it in action is much better though) and found some interesting opinons:

Well, at its current price of SG$106,000, this is a car both Yh and I agree shall remain just a great car to look at

Seeing as how my preferred car would be the Honda Civic, that would mean a loan of at least $65k at a repayment of $731/month for 10 years at 3.5% (Total interest paid of about $22k!). The good thing is I abhor debt so there goes the plan to get a new Civic.

So what’s the other way I can get around without relying on public transport? Looking at the article referenced by Get Rich Slowly, Dave Ramsey offers a novel approach to car purchase. By investing the amount intended for a car, one can save on interest payments until such a time the amount saved can pay for a car entirely! And by keeping up these payments to oneself, the interest earned could potentially fund future car purchases. Seems rather interesting concept but than also means having to squeeze out $731 to invest. Time to do some math!
