Guys,

Loving the collaboration shown in this thread. Anyone know where I can change the default NHC's audio player to touch screen based which has GPS navigation, bluetooth, DVD player, and those fancy stuff? Well actually, I just need the GPS navigation but I don't mind other features that come with it. Do recommend some brands (best if you have pictures, else I can just google it), the price and the shop where I can get it. Also, best if it fits nicely into NHC without any modification - I am not sure if there's any original accessories from Honda for this audio player.

many thanks!

Ya, I paid lots on downpayment totalling RM55,480. Took loan of RM36k so the additional RM3k plus are interest. I took the modulo bodykit as well. See bro, eventhough I am taking 3 years loan but I am already losing more than RM3k of interest to the bank in the span of 3 years. Imagine what you can buy with that amount of money (get a laptop, change to better rims & tyres etc). I learned from my grandfather never to take car loan for a long period of time as banks will gain huge interest from it. I can go for a HONDA CIVIC and repay it for 9 years with repayment of around RM700-800+ but what's the point? Car is a depreciating asset so I guess a HONDA CITY would be enough.

Ya, after 3 years, I can start saving the additional RM1090  nod.gif

Those days, the maximum repayment for car loan is only 7 years. Our Bank Negara extended it to 9 years. As an ordinary consumer, they might think this is something good but if you were to look deeper into what is going behind the scene, it is not. They extended it to 9 years because our purchasing power are depleting. They don't want to car industry to slow down thus extending it to 9 years. See, consumers are losing out in the end (will need to pay huge amount of interest in the end). You have to thanks that to out gomen  nod.gif

Oh yar!! My car arrived in the sales centre already. Will be getting next week after settling all the registration. Booked 1/12/09. Receiving it tentatively on 10/3/10.

Nothing is perfect bro. That is why they have a 3 years warranty ma  laugh.gif  Red oil is most likely brake oil. Better send it back to service centre.

but u 4got that u can easily earn much more money back with simple investment with ur RM50k on hand... even my boss rich like hell, he wont pay so much downpayment and venture the money into business... blush.gif

thats why it has higher fuel consumption when traveling within the city whereby the first 2 gears are frequently used, must take care of the footing. me is still considering because its a honda and it has good looks compared to vios.
it doesnt matter actually, they're engine blocks made of metal that doesnt need adaption. the oils are only lubricant as long u change accordingly.
*
seriously, if u afford for around ~RM5-RM8 per tank difference, go for city... u won't regret it...
what i just heard from a car wash shop boss last week, his vios FC is just about the same as mine... (he's a heavy foot driver)

the initial pick up for city is laggy but it can be solved by adding a device.. (but will cause higher FC)

Hi guys...really need some inputs if possible. I'll be coming back to Malaysia soon (finally) and I'd like to buy my very first car. Honda city seems pretty much within my budget. i saw the price guide in The Star motoring and HONDA CITY 1.5L E i-VTEC will cost RM 89,980.00.

My question, will different dealers give different prices (preferable lower) and since the 2009 model has been out for a year now, I'd expect the price to drop. Should that the case? Would anyone what could be potentially be the lowest price possible for this model, ie: less accessories.

Thanks in advance for any input.
*
sorry for disappointing you, please check Honda Website and the price is up by RM500 for both S and E spec...

you need to tell us where is your location so some of the owners can recommend the dealer to you... less accessories then you would have to take S spec...

i just did my 1k service before reaching 1 month and now there is a sticker up on the big screen that says this

service: 1000km
date: 15/3/10
next service: 5000k  ---> suppose to be 6k?
next service date: 15/5/10 ---> suppose to be 15/6/10?

now i thought the next service should be 5k after the 1k meaning at 6k right? and i thought i was give 3 months to complete my 5k service from my 1st service date meaning is should be 15/6/10 right?
*
wrong at all... the free service is at 1000km, at 5000km and at 10000km... if you think like in your way, you already get 16000km free service...
and for date is count from purchase date... not the date after each service... read carefully the free service letter... shakehead.gif

But what about in terms of outlook ?

guys, have u ever tried whole tank for urban drive or city drive? what's ur NHC fuel consumption? i can max get 12km/l - 12.5km/l only..

NHC is really such a heavy beauty =.='' 
feel like changing to 15" light weight rims plus good comfortable tyres~ make it better pick up, more FC save, and more comfortable~
*
then u muz be a heavy foot driver like me... ur fc quite similar to me... but i did try driving light foot, can get around 13.5km/l...

For me, current FC is 10.1km/l
I'm quite satisfied with it.
Only need to pump one full tank per week.
4 full tanks a month.

Maybe the fuel consumption reading is incorrect. tongue.gif
*
wah, kons, 10.1km/l!!! u always floor the pedal?
10.1km/l if is from the reading then is incorrect one... u have to manually calculate... so far the lowest i get is about 11km/l for the whole tank i hantam kuat kuat~ tongue.gif

Yeap that is one of the issues but i knoe that u cant expect too much frm a RM 89k car.And another thing is that when ur doing 160km/h and u want it to go faster u have to lower down to 3rd gear cuz lowering down to 4th gear is useless.The revs just go up but totally no power at all.And if you try to do 160km/h in 5th gear and u just step on the gas harder to go faster, nothing happens,I tried once press until the floor but 100% nothing happen!So that is some of the issues lor.But still love the design but hate the gearbox.

Yea some of u guys might say why i drive fast,well then why put 5 gears if its not meant to be driven fast?  wink.gif
