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.  laugh.gif

Overall, yeah, its a good car. Easy to park too.

Guess i'm right to introduce this car to my gals. blush.gif

The EPS part for people who use to hydroPS, the feeling was like rclxub.gif
Talk about speed, you can actually find out City is more powerful than vios. 120kmh rpm is 2.5k.
Cabin noise is good enough, driving around 110kmh you will get the feeling like 80kmh.

After i drive City, why consider vios? hmm.gif

EPS on City is better than EPS on CRV. the one in CRV keeps giving me some kind of unnatural feedback when doing small correction on straight road. or are both using same EPS?  icon_question.gif

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  laugh.gif
+ 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.

Yesterday after satay TT on my way home I was stopping for a red light at Kajang town. In front of me was a MyVi Extreme 3 guys inside...LEDs, sticker....HE was revving a bit his car (can hear is exhaust note since I wind down half window) Then came 2 police superbike rider stop beside me..they were chatting then the MyVi didn't know got police....He rev rev his car...he want to time the traffic light and do launch.....

manatau.....he miss calculate and did an early launch basically running the red light la....the 2 police chase kao him...That poor MyVi not even got chance to shift into 2nd gear already kena potong by the police bike.....Hahahahaha...that time I really ROFLMAO.....I pass by that car and gave him a honk.... laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Then I reach semenyih area fuhh...kena tiong by Alza and MyVi....mau main my back side.....So I just go faster it was on trunk road.....that driver try to follow my speed at those trunk roads which is quite dark and winding when almost reaching the Nilai interchange....the road was a mix of dry and wet...after he cannot catch up with me after few corners I also slow down because don't want play with him jor.....then he not happy come tail me so I gib him signal let him overtake he overtake already then brake infront of me (by this time the Alza was not chasing anymore)

The MyVi play brake with me and he drive slow so I try overtake him again but he don't let me overtake him by going faster so I just give him pressure from back....I don't know how much we were going that time because there was no other cars other than me and him....Then after we pass the tuanku jaafar college there I know got a corner if entry speed too fast he sure fly over to the small slope hill already....I see he take corner like orang gila all the line so messy can tell he not familiar with the road....when approaching that said corner I slow down because can tell he's going in too fast, he pull away from me very fast as I brake to slow down he still give me the "loser" sign niama....then not long I hear Eeeeeeeee.......boom boom....I literally saw his MyVi understeer at the corner then fly straight over the small ditch and bang onto the small slope.....I didn't went down to help the driver I just drove slowly pass the scene and go home....just hope he's ok....Sigh....these drivers really....don't know how to say....consider got balls or got no brain....for me if not familiar with road I won't go so 7 fast even if kena kacau just let it be some more in rural area getting help pass 1am is very difficult....
