Ha ha ... this one don't need to worry. Been trying to poison myself many times liao. Past couple of times were interesting but still ultimately ineffective. Latest I tried to up dosage was a Citroen C4.... nice motor especially the 1.6 turbo but too small for me. so far its been a up down thing. Just can't find the right mix yet....

Ah... but the question remains... how long more...will you renew COE? No need to ask for my answer as the Euro R will be handed over in a few hours' time.

My time with the CL7R has been very good -- super reliable and involving to drive. Some wear and tear issues (door actuators) and the car has never left me stranded -- even the idle control valve, which needed replacing, didn't cripple the car -- needed a few more cranks to restart.

I hear ya.... That's why the search intensifies... Have around a year and a half to go....Glad you have finally solved your dilemma. Renewing seems not really worth it. maybe do like what chia did? I hope to do the same eventually when my time comes. I do think the IAV issues on our rides stem from using aftermarket filters. Have cleaned mine out several times over the years and note that the rotary shaft is extremely dirty and tends to stick.

CL7 to CL7? The youngest ones are 2008 units, but more Euro Rs than autos??

Yup, I think the last Euro R's are 2008s. No more after that.

It will be a painful decision to see which car to get. Hopefully Honda will do another Euro R. The Euro S looks good however, no K20A.
