Someone put on FB that the 5.0 is around 1.2 mil.

Wtf who would pay 1.2 mil for a mustang...lol

A Govnt Minister with the Duty Exemptions would get of these for a good price though.
I could see Colm sitting on a Graco Booster seat going down the foreshore in one of these.

Hahahahahaha

[metalgear2095]

No Duty, no VAT, no MVT on CNG, Hybrid and electric cars with a motor up to 179 hp.

Confirmed by A172 who is a foreign new and used dealer who has brought down a few hybrids.

The 179hp limit is for the petrol motor alone? Or 'combined hp' of both petrol and electric motors?

The exemptions for hybrid/electric limited to 1799cc as well by chance ?

[janfar]

Good question. And also... Is it only limited by HP or is there a CC limitation as well.

[drchaos]

Don't quote me on this but i think is 179 hp up to 2.0L engines up to 2 years old and I believe the HP ceiling is on the primary gas motor.

Read on a tuner thread (can't remember which one) that a guy got a quote from a local dealer for a Golf GTE from the UK which has a combined HP of over 179 hp but the primary gas motor was around 150 hp. He reported that duty, vat and MVT was off.

[drchaos]

From the manual of the Civic.
91 RON or higher. The model we get is from the Thai factory, car is also assembled in Indonesia and Pakistan.

[Morpheus]

Nice info drchaos....


But on a side note.....that is a big toe in the 2nd pic right?

[drchaos]

I Inherited dem toeish fingers from meh mudda.

[Morpheus]

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Fyaz on super. Nice.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Repost of our RON/octane numbers please??

Super 92 RON

Premium 95 RON

[kamakazi]

Cars that require Ron 92 still occasionally ping on our super... Add boost and we might be hearing about that Vic sooner rather than later...

Engine has an insanely clever cooling system to run on RON 91, worse case if it knocks once in a while engine should be able to handle it. Its constant knock you have to watch out for.

Countries like Pakistan have worse fuel quality than us and they have the same recommendation.

I am gonna run mine on super as manufacturer recommends. Will update if any problems arise.

[kamakazi]

Yeah man... Congrats on the new ride
Also let us know if you like the CVT

I have absolutely no opinion on the Mazda 2 since I have not driven one. But if you are considering such a small car, have you looked at the Honda City CNG as another alternative? It would be cheaper to buy and run, and then you have the Honda engineering quality behind it. The only negatives that I have read about it are the plastic interior and limited trunk space. But, then again, all these cars under $200,000 are coming with plastic interiors and don't have much trunk space. If I had to buy a car in this current economic climate, I would consider the Honda City CNG as one alternative.

Didn't mention the city as its already first on my list to check out. I have a bias towards Honda but I have never owner nor driven a Mazda hence the lack of info. Thanks for the response.

0 issues and zippy fun little car. Was bought new for <150 so a steal for the price. The interior is a little plasticky but nicely appointed for the price. Trunk is huge on the sedan (for the vehicle size) back seat is adequate also. To be honest there was nothing in the price range that was better value for money as a commuter car

I am thinking that for less than 150 it makes a lot more sense to buy that instead of a f used vehicle for not much less. It would be my first new car purchase (car would be for my wife, not me) so I'm a bit cautious. I am a firm believer in used cars but f used prices are ridiculous. Cinco, u bought d fully loaded or d basic version?
