ride comfort is like marshmallow, passenger still can sleep soundly behind when I'm doing 140-160.
take it to a corner, steering feels like marshmallow. Maybe I'm used to Proton's heavy steering.
Overall, yeah, its a good car. Easy to park too.
it is more powerful than Vios. lol
and the low rpm is due to 5 speed AT compared to the Vios 4 speed AT. THe Honda City gearbox is very eager to shift to 5th gear.
Yep first time drive.....reviews ar...It was a spontaneous test drive so might miss out some points but here goes
+ very utilitarian. Apart from the cupholders and doorbins, it even have a tray under the rear seat to stash stuffs
+ spacious cabin. Center armrest for rear seats!
+ Huge boot.
+ Personally a fan of the exterior.
+ Paddle shifters!!
+ good torque. I don't understand why people say it is underpowered, it's not bad at all.
+ Decent handling, but at the expense of ride comfort. I can't complain because my car is not much better in the comfort department.
+ Gear ratios seems to be designed for economical cruising than performance, I can cruise at 100km/h in 4th gear the RPM still under 3k and the ECO light came on
+ VSA, kudos Honda.
- stock HU like from the early 2000's. The test drive unit came with a touchscreen HU + reverse camera from Honda which you can add, for a "measly" RM3k.
- while cruising at 100km/h, I shift to S for manual mode, it immediately downshift to the 3rd gear, causing jerking due to engine braking. Twice I tried, twice also kena like this.
- Short seats. Even the driver seat is only 2/3 the length of my thigh.
- NVH somewhat short of expectation. It's OK, but when cruising at highways speeds it can become quite noisy.
- spongy brakes at medium speeds. I dunno why.....at high speed it is adequate. I almost overshoot a junction because the car won't slow down quick enough.
All in all, between this and Vios, I'd gladly take this car.
