Hello City owners, I'm getting a city soon but the sales manager has told me about some confusing news. He said next shipment of city will be arriving in three weeks...after that shipment, there won't have anymore of this model. I asked him why he just said don't know.  blink.gif

I don't know whether they are just saying it to encourage future buyers to place their bookings or is the new facelift gonna get launched soon. From Civic and Accord history, Honda usually introduce facelift models exactly 3 years after initial launch. That being said, the city facelift should be due only end of this year. Having this model being such a good seller, I don't see Honda stopping production of city until the facelift. The manager also mentioned something about the japan earthquake affecting production.  hmm.gif

Anyone heard any similar news??  unsure.gif

Also, can't seem to choose between silver and white city. White is a very nice color but it doest seem that elegant on a city unlike civic/accord...white city gives a "low spec" impression. Silver is metallic and easy maintenance just that it's too common. Headache rclxub.gif Any suggestions? Lol

Thanks smile.gif
*
maybe it is due to the parts supply prob from japan side and not due to the new facelift coming soon?

anyway, white color looks nice on city also, not bad, the white is bright and does not look dirty or yellowish.

so the current white color city is actually not bad. silver is just too common on any car in my opinion. if u are those conservative type and always prefer to play safe. silver is a color for you.

my NHC is polished metal metallic, i like grey color. tongue.gif but actually i like the initial brown metal color but too bad when i bought it last year the color discontinued already.

How is the acceleration / top speed of Insight compared to City?
Is it peppy to drive in town? Better response in terms of power?
Kindly response, any input will be appreciated.

The rear drum break makes it look cheap as well.

with such a price, i think u cannot complain much abt insight already. there is little lower spec on certain stuff to trade off for cheaper price. but i also is also compensated with better features, such as LED speedo meter, multi info display, nicer dashboard, cruise control, VSA etc while the price of it only rm8k more than city. and it is hybrid car that u save at least rm30k from tax plus u save petrol cost in long run. most importantly it is imported fully from Japan that the sound proof, quality etc are much better than thailand made models locally.

I am surprised when i start my insight, it is so easy, when turn the key super lightly the engine will be started already, and it is damn quiet that i hear very limited noise inside the car. even go out of the car, the engine is much quieter comparing to my NHC. of course NHC itself the engine sound comparing to other brand model car also considered quite quiet already. but insight is even much better this is something i am quite impressed. tongue.gif

P.S. i am giving genuine comments as i owned both cars that I am making a fair comparison between two only. I love my NHC too because it is my first car in life also. biggrin.gif

True that. Im not denying the Insight is a great buy. Its just that its my personal preference. Dont really like cars with rear drum breaks. Like most of the nissans sold here. Anyway glad u are happy with both the Hondas.

haha ok smile.gif

looking forward for honda to release better looking models in future.
as of now, insight is my latest favourite. biggrin.gif i like its appearance!

hahah this is the thing, or else i would have gotten something from Nissan ... i just dont like the fact that u pay so much for a car and cant get all 4 on discs brakes ...

they say its to reduce cost ...service cost
you need to bring yourself over to the insight forum ...

will report your post if i see anymore mention of insight ... seriously ...

feel free to do so. I am owner of both and I am comparing the two cars it is still relevant to NHC I do not find there is a prob with it at all. Ppl who are keen to know abt NHC can allow get to discuss abt the performance, quality etc as compared to other same range of car. Why can't discuss abt things such as how it fairs as compare to other same range of cars for their interest? I dun think as a intelligent NHC owner needs to just be contented from good words abt NHC and refuse to take in comments on it flaws and la kings which appeared to be such narrowed hearted

since mostly im using ldp.. 40/60 hiway/city.. kajang-malacca PLUS, stay on 100-120kmh only drop 2 bars.. very good enuf for me.. i guess full tank, can go till 550km++..
*
ic. then it is the normal FC i would say. for NHC, heavy jam + traffic light road = 1x-11km/litre (full city drive) max.

full highway 16-17km/litre

seriously i would say FC is not very strong pt for NHC. it only has good FC on highway, so it should be called "honda highway instead"

average only. last version of city then FC is the strong pt.

I went to Honda yesterday to get quotation to replace my front bumper. The price offered was RM900 (incl. spray).

Is the price resonable? Thanks.

reasonable. in fact quite cheap, last time i intend to replace my left side bumper the piece that next to the front bumper, the smaller piece in front of the side windows one.

was quoted rm1100++ already if not wrong. replace new piece + paint spray. shocking.gif

Guys, recently there are many car break-in cases at my place. Some even got stolen..but those are old cars. I believe NHC will need the correct key with the electronic chip to start the car. So doest this mean my NHC is 'more secure' than the other cars or is it better to invest in a lock?
*
that's the naive thinking that built in security system can protect ur, civic should be a higher segment car than city and there are so many cases it gets stolen.

recently there are increased cases of NHC kena stolen too.

so whether to install more security system or lock to protect ur baby, it is up to individual "belief" in the built in system man. rclxm9.gif

hmm..contrary to the above bro comment, you think it is best to take good care of the car (i.e. not revv too hard) before 1st 1000km huh? now i'm confuse, which one is true? rclxub.gif
*
if u read the manual of the car, it does clearly stated abt the break in of engine. so i would think it is still necessary as it is officially stated in manual?
