My bad. Either auto or manual. I thought the base was 26k. they have it at 27k?

I believe the prices online include delivery fee, which is why they ask for your zip code up front.

zoom44

you are correct sir, it does indeed include the delivey/ destination charge in that price!

Tough to tell from those pics, but it looks like the type S doesn't have any back doors. Can that be right?

Looks like it to me - the S has the spiffy single guy and the E shows the young family with kid for the back seat. Maybe the S is a 2 seater?

jonnyb

yeah the s is rear door less. i wonder if its a 2 seater...

you go NUT! bringing up threads ove a year old!

e and s are for 5speed or 6speed manual tranny for the hi-power. the 3rd one listed at the right is the low power car.

read and answered before you edited. I deleted. But man it sure looks like the S has no rear doors. Can you read Japanese?

zoom44

no and i tried to babel fish that page and it only sort of translating the legal jargon in the gray field at the bottom. the info about the packages available in japan has been around before tho. it just took me a moment to remember when looking at that page.

Hahaha.. sorry.. saw the new Anniversary page and thought it was a new model or something.

Yeah, there are pictures of the type s with all 4 doors opened. Took me a while to find them there.

Ok, here's my take from what is available here through the grey importers fr SINGAPORE. The Type S and Type E r JDM models. Type S has 250hp, 6sp, 18" rims, aluminium pedals, fog lamps and fabric seats. Type E has 210bhp, 4sp auto, 16" rims, no aluminium pedals, no fog lamps and has leather seats. The price for both models are the same and both cars can be further accessorized at the time of booking. I am driving a Type E myself and all I can say is I absolutely love the car although the mileage sucks and gas here cost S$1.438/litre which is about US$3.27/gal. I am getting about 5.7km/l with my moderate driving style. Oh btw, they both have 4 doors.
