If u compare/judge while seated at driver seat, of course u will feel front speakers are louder.

Try open both doors and place your head right next to the speaker and compare/judge again? wink.gif
Huh? It's all stock...all I did was adding a decent (Hertz HT 25 neodymium) but not wallet-bombing pair of tweeters and place them on top of the dashboard right next to the pillars. Point them like, 60 degrees angle (passenger side tweeter pointing toward driver, driver side tweeter pointing toward passenger).
See ghost once, really scared already. Like I mentioned earlier, the smooth CVT gearbox, rev-happy engine and better sound insulation made me unknowingly sped up too much prior to the dangerous S section sweat.gif

I actually drove gentler at Genting roads and ended up reaching hilltop a lot faster than I drive like a madman behind the wheel of a 1.3 Myvi auto. Now who said that 2014 City has no pickup and felt underpowered? No struggle at at all during the uphill drive thumbup.gif

When upgrading to a low noise cabin and good transmission car, drivers have to cope with having a better life. Sounded like you had fun driving up hill.

Same like going to live in a fresh mountain place after being in Chow Kit for too long. Good things take some time to be accepted.

Went to see City 2014, and it was a pleasant surprise. If anyone have positive/negative about the new City 2014 please do share. Most of the youtube news are the India models only and didn't reflect what was in Malaysia.

Example no sun roof!

The grade E and V was of most interest, but not as cheap as Almeera or Forte.

Forte RM99K. Forte KX(KanaXai-ed) also RM 90k...almost same price with V-Spec.

Almera of course lah...only got UFO donut in the HU for the high-spec...can only compare with City S+ only.
So cheapskate..RM40...RM400 more like it lah... tongue.gif
*
Last I saw Forte was RM82k on Livelifedrive. On Naza site I don't see it anymore, GONE!!! blink.gif

Probably left when the new City appeared?

Enjoyed watching how they describe City 2014 in this YouTube, but how much was exaggerated?

This thread is really helpful to non Honda City owners to understand what the car is about.

Dun talk shit if you know nuts.

Engine oil degrades...and warranty will be voided if you dont go to SC on schedule...either your SA cheats you or you're a moron.

My Inspira only hits 6k every 6 month...somemore i use Fullsynth...i go service as per schedule.

"Engine oil in tip top condition after 6 monhts"...LOL,...you took out the engine oil and test in a certified lab is it??

The person probably took out dip stick and tried it.

first & last go there with this SA. But i heard there is Lady SA there which is very good.
Only me not so luck meet this guy.

Wah! somebody regret not going to the really very good one SA.

I don't go to shop just because there is a Lady SA. Come to think of it, I have only spoken to Lady car models and not spoken to Lady SA all these years.

Forte has been took off once Cerato was launched. You can visit nazakia website and wont find any forte there.

Right, Saw kia site (http://www.kia.com/worldwide/vehicles/cerato-forte/product.aspx) put a slash and next to it was forte. Thank you for highlighting. Makes deciding which car easier.

Whats TT?

They do bring some colour to the forum. If there was polling option here we can then see who is leading.

Knowledge is power, internet makes perceptions. Yeah?

When collecting a new City, what are the common things to check in the car?

Apart from ensuring we get the service booklet. Heheee...

Hi Putera7, you should go for Honda Civic 1.8 S since you had drive C segment car for the past 10 years. Suddenly change to B segment will be a bit uncomfortable as the power is reduce significantly...

Is waja C segment too?

Change Waja (if in c segmen) to City seems like down grade to b segmen. Is this in reference to dimension or engine CC?

You may have a point.

My previous car clocking in at 55litre for 310km city drive.
Hoping this will be much better

From review, City can do 17km/litre and yours is only 5.6km/litre?

My Waja does up to 9km/litre, not bad huh?
