for me, i nvr would install this kind of blink blink stuffs but i would add the money for let's say a fully synthetic, or sometimes a engine cleaner, or a tank of v-power to keep the engine all the time fresh and last long

just my 2 cents anyway

ic.....how much is ur NHC in sg u bought? in sg can hardly see NHC.....

the door visor also quite worth it rite? to reduce the wind sounds...

is ur honda city quiet while u are inside the car? can hear the wind sound if got says motorbike passed by ur car???

seemms getting more New Owner...suggest and recommend to ss19/those who wanna to book their car/

NHC is not so common, but it's very prominent at driving schools.
I don't think the visor will reduce wind sounds, i feel it creates more drag, more drag=more friction=more noise, besides, it's cheaper to get it in SG i think, got lots of places that do it..

The City is a cheap entry car compared to Civic or Accord range of cars, so I discount that out of my head and accept whatever noise there is, it aint a Lexus, cos I didn't pay that kind of price.

I bought mine at SGD53K (~RM122K) now the price has gone up to SGD83K (~RM190K)
and remember, SG models don't even come with auto folding mirrors…

The only thing that I am toying to do with my NHC that does not fit any of my criteria is the chrome trimmings around the windows to make it more "Accordish" or "BMish" .

I think the door visor will only adds to more wind noise. I will never install such a thing. The only important thing a door visor does is to prevent rain water from sipping into the cabin in case the windows are not properly shut

even original door visor also will not reduce noise?????

but is it noisy or not in the NHC???

- Cabin noise is not as quiet as Vios.
- Suspension wise, Vios feels more solid. The NHC suspension feels somewhat 'hollow' when going through deep pot holes.
- Gear shifting, feels a bit jerky compared to Vios.
- Power wise, NHC wins hands down.
- Cabin space, NHC is more spacious.
- Steering wheel on the NHC looks much cooler & stylish.

Don't ask me why I didn't buy a Vios. I always like HONDA maybe because of their VTEC engines

suspension is called 车脚 rite? this is known fact la.........toyota had known to have better suspension.....

for me design and look is my first criteria or buying thing, after then is spec + price......

I can't read chinese ler bro. Ya, NHC design damn "garang". If you want "Garang" looks, you must install the MODULO bodykit.

i dun like bodykit.........

besides, what tint u applied to ur NHC? is it effective to reduce heat or not???

and u use what security lock for ur car?

dude, something wrong with your math, its 25k difference isn't? try adding another 25k loan to your initial loan amount and see how much u will need for monthly repayment every month with the same duration.

Also, cars in SG is always more expensive than here!!! don compare that, try comparing cars in Thailand or India (only pay road tax once for your new car), ours are way more expensive. they have more choices, more colours to choose too... ours are govern by govt.

Edit: Different story if u're earning SGD, their car is still cheap if we look at only domestic living standard. their only expensive thing is the license for your car. (License to own the car)

Any1 own a NHC in Ipoh here?? I wanna buy it but dunno which dealer's offer the best~~~

You all know ler,some times the sales men won't deduct or offer much de......so if i wan to get a NHC,i need to get a nice price and offer dun wan later regret bout it >.<

I think u can try ask other sales man if the one u ask nvr give any discount or freebies.........

like i said, honda itself they dun give freebies/discount one, the only way u can get rebate/freebies is from the commission of the SA....they earned around rm1k at least by selling u the car if i am not wrong, plus commission for ur bank loan i think.

so if u are good, u can squeeze all from their commission....

I tinted 3M at Apple Auto. I would say it's quite effective. My NHC is black & when you entered the car, it's still hot but not burning hot inside the cabin.

I haven't use any security lock yet.

ic, may i know how much u tinted with the 3M? i contacted 3M malaysia directly, they quoted me rm1.8k for whole car with the best 3M tint model...considered cheap or not?

black NHC? that's really need the tint..... mine is PMM think less hot than black color....

u dun use security lock? not scary meh??? me ish plan to install the connex satellite tracking system....

I paid 1.8k also. I think it's somewhere around that price.

No security lock. If it's fated that the car gets stolen, what can I do right?

I did mine in Apple Auto as well.

ic.....i am staying in jb, no 3M service centre to install the tint, but i will order from 3M directly they will send ppl down to jb for installation.

malaysia car stolen case so many? u really dun scare ah?? haha becos i know thief they like to steal car with NOTHING AT ALL....meaning not even a physical security lock (even cheapo one).......

insurance can cover la at most 90% of ur loss, but still got other loss in terms of time, ur personal belongings etc le....haha

i am going to install some local security lock + connex satellite tracking system then i think perfect liao

of course not 100% secured, but at least feel safer....

Added on April 11, 2010, 9:14 amic, seems like a lot of ppl like 3M tint also. So how is ur experience with 3M tint? really can effectively reduce heat or not???

comparing to vkool, which one is better???

and u guys all tint entire car rite? got affect GPS navigator and SmartTag or not???

This post has been edited by kindaichi: Apr 11 2010, 09:14 AM

GPS is working fine.
SmartTag kenot go through, need lighter tint, or cut a hole in the middle where u put the smart tag.
Compare it with my previous car v-kool.. almost the same la.

ok thanks for the tips..... will install the 3M tint once i got my car....
