All rear drum and no paddle shifters for new city .. looks like current city still got some advantages ya ..

if youre looking at an outlook change and yes it does look like a facelift as it looks very similar to the current generation. But deepdown, the shell has been revamped with diff curvatures but doesnt look too different. The chasis and wheelbase was restructured too with longer wheelbase and wider chasis so that is definately not a minor facelift. The interior designs all are different including the dashboard. I would say from the skin, it looks like the current generation but deep down its a major revamp but i think Honda might want to ride to the success wave of the current gen City and made their designs similar. Cant blame Honda since the current generation City was being popular until Japanese also demanded for the City to be sold there, hence the coming City will be sold in Japan with the Hybrid variant in place.

IMO, i still prefer the current City outlook though. The coming one seems abit tad weird, not sure is the grill or something.

SA confirmed that and all variant in Thailand from hight to lowest spec is rear drum.

GM is the chasis model .. just like previous gen civic is FD andd current gen civic is FB, The 5-speed City is GM.

played with it all the time since i got my car, i dun see any problems in the gb ... the old first gen auto gearbox is prone to this, but nowadays the newer auto g.b are quite rigid.

initially all the GM city gearbox are the same and they have no problematic issues reported so far ....

Yup about right. Ok lets do some sharing on the City history line.

First generation (1981–1986) City AA/FV/FA
This generation of City looks very similar to a Kancil. And the chasis codes detonates it as sedans AA. vans FV and cabriolet FA. Not officially sold in Malaysia

Second generation (1986–1994) City GA1/GA2
Second generation where only 3door hatchbacks are available which GA1 is pre FL and GA2 as FL. Not officially sold in Malaysia
It is after this generation Honda Fit was born as a seperate line from City.

Third generation (1996–2002) City SX8
Codenamed as SX8 but chassis model is officially called as 3A2(1.3cc)/3A3(1.5cc) which is based on EK civic platform. First official Honda City sold in Malaysia. Later facelifts called this city as Honda City Type-Z. Malaysians would call this as Malaysia 1G

Fourth generation (2002–2008) City GD8/GD9
The most famous generation of City in Malaysia i would say which is based on the Honda Jazz GD1/GD2. With Facelifted on 2005 which was commonly called as City ZX. Malaysians would call this as Malaysia 2G

Fifth generation (2008–2013) City GM2/GM3
The 5-speed City which replaced the City ZX as we can see on the roads now. GM2 is 1.5 and GM3 is 1.8 which China Honda City gets. Malaysians would call this as Malaysia 3G

Sixth generation (2014-present) City
The newly launched City

maybe HRV kut...i still considering .. Mazda3 also not bad

My City serve me well, still reluctant to sell it cuz so far no major issues at all ...

HRV 4 doors, rear door handle looks hidden jeh ... but waiting list is very long ..few months ooo

Ya i think so but with a 1.8, the FC should be ok gua. Need to lurk over the HRV thread for owner feedback.

My City seldom use since i going overseas for business trips nowadays. 2009 City now only manage 70k.

Maybe sell it and get a used CRZ since weekend car d become ..

ya thats why it looks good on the outside with the hidden handles and flushed looks like a coupe 2door...

can change just most of us thinks the ori pads are good enough. You could give it a try and let us know the effects.

ori pads from Honda comes with the new metal shims and grease.

the grease is needed so that when the pads are used up or uneven it doesn't produce any high pitch noise. It is normal for service centers to apply the grease when changing the pads. For Honda case, their parts comes with the grease and there are instructions to use the grease. But some other Car-makers, their same ori parts might not come with the grease but they have their heavy duty grease to swipe to the pads when they change it.

If you plan to change to pads that doesnt come with the grease, just make sure when installing it. Ask the person to apply heavy duty grease on the edges of the pads, usually if the mechanic is competent they will know where to apply. The thing is most of them just ignore doing it as its a hassle plus you wouldn't notice the pitch sounds when it is new. Why bother ?

i am using XM2 on my Jazz Hybrid wo ... so far so good .. noise is more quiet that the Jazz Hybrid stock XM1.
