mga sirs, quick survey lang po, if these two are readily available, which would you choose and why?

1. '07 EX
2. '08 EX

i believe pareho lang sila ng itsura ( interior/exterior/features ) yun nga lang may inalis na konti sa '08.

maraming salamat po.

Para sa akin is '07 pa din e. Yan din ang pinagpilian ko e. pero the mere fact na alam mo na may mga tinanggal e nakakainis yun e. So I choose '07 instead of '08.

mga sir, eto na naman po ako

para saan po ba ung mga parang copper wires sa ilalim ng upuan sa front? Un po ba ung tinatawag na heated seat, ano po function nun hehehe

Saka if papa upholstered ko sa leather seat, di kaya yun maapektuhan? pasensya na po if masyado ata pang elementary question ko, 1st time owner lang kasi ng brand new car, CARENS pa

kaya ingat na ingat.

Isa na lang, ganun lang po ba talaga yung spare tire, ang liit parang pang big bike lang

. Next time na yung iba question... hehehe

TIA

Walang heated seat dito ang carens e. Don;t know about the copper wire hindi ko naman napapansin sa unit ko yun e. Pero yun sa spare tire yan na kasi ang standard yata sa US para hindi mo makalimutan magpavulcanize pag naflat ka. at hindi ka pwede magpatakbo ng mabilis pag naka spare tire ka lang.

I think i wud probably choose '08. Even with a few minor features taken. Resale value would go to the newer model.

As promised here are the pics during its Blessing in Manaoag, and the new Mags that I installed.

Di ako nakabili sa Concept1 kasi wala ung Mags na gusto ko (Vienna, Eurohart or Style5) Sabi nung SA ko naka-usap daw nya ung mayari and may available..

Wala pala, so sa Cubao ako nagpalagay Cobra3 plus Sparco Botls It looks fine naman.. Napansin ko lang masgumanda ang ride after kabitan, sabi rin nung nagkabit kasi daw 6.5 ung size compared sa Steel rim na 6 lang. But parang bumaba sya ng kaunti. 15 inch lang pinalagay ko since sabi ng SA ko mavoviod daw warranty if I go higher.

Cobra3 Mags P19,500 (From P21K)
Sparco Bolts P700 (From P900)
Free Labor and Alignment

I went to SeatMate din nagpagawa nako ng Seatcover and Leather for the Shiftknob. I can get it on Friday, I will post pictures agad.. :-)

P7,500 - Leatherette (Walang tawad)
P400 - Shift Know (From P450)
P1800 - Steering Wheel (Next ko ito)

Would you believe pala? I got my unit last Thursday and Friday my agent text me that I already have a plate number. One day processing, its really fast!!! I got my plate number na, pero di ko pa kinakabit since good for a week naman ung unit na walang Plaka, and kasi walang binigay na screw sakin nung binigay ung Plate. hehehe

Can't wait for the pics of your seatcovers and shift knob!
