Does City have this problem?

Inspira 2.0 was said to be unable to climb gradient of 26 degrees.

This City, If stop on a upward slope, and in D gear, can I lift oil pedal and the car remain stationary? Or will it slide backwards?

For S and S+, the car will roll backwards if the slope is steep enough. E and V has hill assist so it won't roll backwards.

Proton waja didn't roll back downwards on hill slope.

Is this normal for honda to slide down? Even if slowly.

Just comparing these guys front.

A 2.0 should look more garang and tough but this is not the case. Looks bigger, thats it.

Finally get to drive it. Just initial impression, same as when did test drive, it's pretty responsive with good pick up...definitely way better than VIOS. Didn't do much cornering, just some highway stretch + mostly city drive. Steering is a bit light. Handling is really nothing to shout about....not enough feedback and resistance....but then again, this is not Honda Mountain Pass or Honda Initial D. Seats are pretty ok, decent enough and comfortable. I was mostly driving in ECON MODE (like most Malaysians, i yam kedekut minyak). Right now not use to the car behaviour yet.

Compared to my Inspira:
1) Acceleration from stop seems to be better, maybe due to Inspira weight.
2) NVH about same. Road noise of City can be loud above 60kmh...so far, i think i have not reach 100km/h yet. But Inspira engine is louder especially when rev harder. City's engine is mostly queit, its the road noise that take centerstage.
3) Seats of Inspira is superior, no questions. The feel and support of the Inspira Nappa leather seat is just too good.
4) Inspira has wider space, but rear leg room, may actually lose a little bit to City.
5) R&Handling. Inspira wins easily.

Basically both cars has pros and cons.....but my preferences will still be the Inspira....only drawback it's kuat minum minyak in City jam..which is what i face everyday....doh.gif

And oh yeah, i heard that 40km/h, turbo ignition sound kicking in...LOL.

rclxms.gif Wow,
Inspira which is almost same price seems to be the winner if minyak guzzling is not an issue.

My short test on their test drive City conclude that electrical steering is big change compare to driving a hydraulic steering like Inspira. If got space need to try City's S mode and see whats it about. Hardly any info from the SA, to understand its workings compared to overdrive button in other cars. Darn, I don't have a City, and SA might not let me test it on a track or at parking lot. Heheheeee....

Normal & smooth driving style..No heavy foot.
Just wonder the official page claimed 17km/Litre..How about the rest? Anyone can get higher mileage driving in urban?

Yes,

I would like to know the results too.
