Hi Honda City Team, New Member Join In (Jeffreynsx / V Spec / Alabaster Silver Metallic / Klang Valley). Booked This Car On 12th May, 2014 And From The Honda Showroom Found Out The Flaws That Come With This Car Such As Dashboard Gap, Armrest Not Aligned In Center, Rattling Sound And Etc...I Really Suspect Whether Honda Malaysia Do Check For Quality Inspection Before Deliver The Car To Customer. Somemore Hari Raya Aidilfitri Is Coming Soon, A Lot Of Potential Customer Will Come And Buy New Car To Balik Kampung. Not Sure Whether This Time Round Receive The Car Will Incurred Additional Issue Due to Mass Production To Fulfill Customer Expectation In Tight Period Of Time.

I Still Consider Whether Is The Right Way to Upgrade My Current Honda City V Spec to Honda Civic 1.8S as Quality Wise For Honda Civic Will Be Much Better In Term Of Quality Materials. May I Know Is There Anyone Of You Found Out Any Flaws Come From Honda Civic 1.8S? I Need to Compile All The Information Before Finalize My Decision to Switch To Honda Civic. Thank you.

Hi Pink Spider, thanks for your update as I do arrange for a test drive and it's really a powerful car for C segment category. With this price tag, it is well equipped with features as compare to competitors such as Toyota Vios and Nissan Almera. Overall, thanks for your advise on this cars.

But, I do need you all advise in terms of loan agreement, as I known bank had approved my loan but the loan agreement will last for how long as for my understanding the car need to arrive at showroom and let us see the chasis number and further checking before signing the agreement. Hence, may I know the contract can last more than 1 month period? Thank you.

Hi Pink Spider, noted on your advise and hope my car will arrive soon. From the Honda Website, I can see Honda do offer for Combination Leather seat for Honda City. May I know is there anyone know the price offer from Honda Malaysia? Apart from that, for the Navigation and Reverse Camera...I heard My SA said at the end of next month, Honda Malaysia will come out with a Navigation + Reverse Camera package in which I'm interested on it. Hope can get the good news soon...

Hi Pink Spider, If Go Through Uneven Road Got Kraaak Sound and Winding Up Windows Also Having The Same Issue, You Should Report to Honda Service Centre As It Is Unacceptable In Which We Paid RM90k ++ and Get This Outcome. My Current Toyota Vios Year 2004 Until Today Did Not Even Have This Noise When Go Through Uneven Road Surface, Only Dashboard Having Little Noise Due to The Car Reach 10 Years. So, it is still acceptable.

By the way Pink Spider....Have you tinted your car only have this noise appear or before you tinted your car already have this noise? This is what we concerned about as Honda Malaysia will ask you back this question. If this car tinting is done by SA, we can complaint to SA directly to get a quick fix. Otherwise, Honda will push this incident back to you by informing you that due to your car tinting did not qualified their standard, then this rattling noise issue will exist. In which at the end you cannot blame them.

Hi Kaka90, seems like a lot of issue happen on Honda cars and it is kinda worried me even before my SA called me to collect the car. Based on all your feedback, I still consider whether is a good decision to switch to Toyota Corolla Altis as this car is assembled from Thailand and in terms of quality issue, should be well maintain as compare with local assembled car. I buy car not only consider for handling and feature, but it's also need to be long lasting for the next 10 years. So far, Toyota cars reliability is there and without doubt did not give me any problem when I drive my current car. Even Honda daringly come out with 5 years unlimited mileage warranty, but build up quality already an issue and mechanical wise did not able to fix the issue in a correct way, no point to get this upcoming car. I really suspect whether Honda car really up to the standard to train their workers on build for quality and not build for quantity like our local manufacturer cars in which paying high price but getting cheap car to drive in town. Hope you all understand the situation as we pay almost RM90k ++ but getting the car not up to standard. I don't mind fork out another RM30k ++ to ensure quality is there and reliability is proven.

I'm not Toyota Salesman here but I'm the end user for Toyota cars. What I means is a car need to build for quality and not simply build up a car and at the end have problem occur. I read the previous comment for the users who drive Honda City and realise why there are so many problem here and there in which we pay for a rattling sound car?

If I got such a big budget, I already go for Beemer, Mercedes-Benz or even Lexus. Totally different services they provided to us...

What I understand is nowadays cars is not build for long lasting but is build for feature and safety.

If Mawi come with 5 years unlimited warranty with 6 airbags + VSC and Touchscreen Navigation. Sure our local people will opt for MyVi...

Hi Matrix, silver color Honda City will arrive on next month...should be receive your car soon...

Info can be obtained from your SA if they willing to share with you since you had booked the car and they also need your settlement ASAP. As for salesman, I'm not a salesman but a customer from Toyota Malaysia in which giving my own feedback on the overall car condition that I experience currently for my old Toyota car. Without doubt old car still better than current car in terms of build for quality but then in terms of feature and safety become the priority for current consumer, quality wise is being compromised.

Perodua MyVi is still a reliable car for local manufacturer who assembled the car that consumer will given a try for it.

Seems like you change a lot of car previously...Good spenders...

So far our national car the best car at the moment will be Proton Inspira 2.0P. People who buy the car having less complaint compare to other variants.

Noted, boss.

If really cannot get the car on time, can use back your Fake Lancer to celebrate Hari Raya...Make sure spray the colour in solid white and everything will be fine...More Vroom...

Hi kevin1976, Michelin do have size 185/55R16 tyres....they called Michelin Energy XM2. So far from the customer review they claimed is quiet and more braking power compare to other conventional tyres. You may check it out from the Michelin website to get more info...If I not mistaken the price is RM308/each. Currently I'm using Michelin Pilot Sport 3 and I gotta say this tyres are really do their job well by observing any flaws on the road and have superior handling on corner. But Michelin Pilot Sport Series unfortunately did not come with Honda City 16 inch with 185 measurement size.

Hi Team, I have an enquiry regarding to the drum brake that equipped in current Honda City 1.5. May I know is the braking power is the same as previous generation Honda City as claimed by SA as well as being told by Paul Tan car review magazines? In my understanding drum brake will need to have longer distance for braking but now they come with VSA, Brake Assist, ABS and EBD. Will all this gadget able to shorten the brake distance? How about during wet condition and the driver need to press few times on the brake before able to ensure the brake calipers are not faded during raining season? May need you all advise on this...

Hi Matrix, had tried to test drive Toyota Altis 1.8E and I realised this car also have some minor issue. Front Passenger and Driver Side Windows have rattling sound, is annoying. But interior space is wider compare to Honda City but left behind a lot of good features such as Cruise Control, Hill Start Assist, Vehicle Stability Assist and Etc. In terms of their Fabric Seat, it is also not as comfortable as Honda City and Honda Civic.
