yeah the stock audio more than enough to satisfy a normal driver like me, always connected to my usb palmdrive and listen dozen of songs while driving, really pleasant driving experience even stuck in traffic jam

All the while i am very satisfy with my NHC, the handling, driving comfort, the accessories offered, the outlook, FC, interior...etc.

The only setback that i must admit is the sound insulation for this NHC is pretty poor...if only HM can improved this i am 100% satisfy with my car

My black NHC had an accident 2 months back, bang from the back and i hit another front vehicle...now all done and parts changed etc etc...they got the replacement grille, but they sprayed my front grille to black, same as my body color...

Looks weird now, but quite unique...what do you guys think?

And my modulo bodykit, after they repair, they did not put back the rubber...damn! Anyone knows if the rubber can be put back, and how much it costs?

just to remind. who install locktech , autolock , or any other security.. make sure to separate the key when u send ur car 4 service or wash.. it no use if they got to duplicate key.. sometime we 4get that when u leave ur car to unknown person.. they can do bad thing.. no amanah, jujur punyer org..
so i always separate my key.. just gv car key only.. and lastly dont park ur car at spooky place or no people at all(kira sunyi la...) mcm cari nahas sendr jer..

for me i have no issue with sound insulation, i found that it is good enough, even i off the audio i cannot hear much noise outside, except like motor pass by me only.

Added on May 19, 2011, 6:17 pmtoday i went for my 20k service, 3 hrs spent. do the balancing and alignment too and rotate tyres.

prob found out, my rear left hand side rim was bent.

my rear left hand side absorber also gone case (but the SC replace for me automatically without informing me in advance, just let me sign the warranty claim form upon collecting my car.

want to ask, any safety issue on the rim that is bent? can it be fixed? how much does it cost?

or can only replace new one, how much?

E spec 6 speaker + steering audio control.S spec 4 speaker

the extra 2 speaker is just tweeter only, u can add them on if u buy S spec.

you can hear very clearly about the motorcycle/ car that passby your ride, and your tire loud noise (if you didn't on your radio/ audio), that means the car sound insulation is not really up to the par la, if myvi/viva/saga i can still tolerance, but at least not NHC lor

Apart from that, the car is almost perfect for me, the handling, driving comfort, FC, smooth gear switching...etc

maybe i expect too high haha...

i think u expect too much. if without gov tax, the car is same price as saga etc only.

and it is the cheapest car among all honda models, u expect it to be perfect, then why ppl need to buy civic, accord etc.

that's why the good audio is there, to cover all the road,wind noise same case as persona


but seriously city have poor insulation.u can check the ICE section, some1 did sound insulation for city.the floor is like bare metal when they strip off evrythg

well thailand sell NHC at RM50k, that is equalvalent to wira

ok maybe i expect too high

haha agree with you

Did i hear smooth gear switching? Come on man, it's not smooth. Gear changes from gear 1 to gear 2 to gear 3 is noticeable. During traffic jam , if you tend to brake and accelerate a lot , the gear changes is really noticeable and at times, it could be jerky from gear 1 to gear 2. Try driving cars with CVT gearbox. That is smooth. However , i still do love my car a lot. If you drive the car longer , you would understand the car more and will be able to control the throttle properly and increase the 'smoothness'.

Added on May 19, 2011, 11:48 pmchange to S mode and use the pedal shift la

if same price.....of coz me get the honda

but given the current price, i feel persona is a vry good buy.evrythg else pawn city except for quality and fc only

especially the inspira 2.0 ... RM1k more only ...

and bro u left out the interest back for loca cars, all time high ... only recently they recduced is to 2.38 or something for inspira ...

rim bengkok? i faced it for 3 times before.
just go to any tyre shop and burn it back.
less than myr 100 can settle.

replace a new one? it's hard to find exactly one piece of rim only.
easier to just change all four of them.

budget wise - burn it back.
look wise - change to 17 or 18 inch.

How on earth do you relate switching to S mode and smoothness?

ohh thats not for smooth gear switching, thats for ur constant gear switching in auto mode during jam ...

use s and stick to one gear la

its not stick, even 's' mode oso will auto drop the gear according to speed.. how bout other car that has paddle shift, is it auto drop gear too..? for cabin noise, i oso felt that it is quite poor, but definitely bttr than proton, even inspira.. got wind whistling sound..

@westlife : how much SC quote you for balancing and tyre rotate? last time i ask, they quote me something less than rm50..
