Here are a few problems with the car after two days of driving it.
1. Alignment lari
2.dashboard gap
3.theres a spring visible shape behind the front passenger seat doh.gif
*
Can take photo of what dashboard gap you are saying?
I found some minor flaws too. The rubber seal around the door, some parts are not properlly glued. So need to inform SC to glue it properly during 1st Servixe.

Btw, I think the oil stains mentioned earliar are on the outside of the windshield, just wipe a bit and its cleaned...so I guess I really need a car wash..haha

Ahh thats because of CVT behavior meh? Huhu.. pls apologise for my innocent, i never drove CVT car before  tongue.gif
Oklor, just scared got problem. Thanks for the info  thumbup.gif

Most likely, anyway, are you driving in ECON mode? If yes, try to switch it off and see if there's difference.

But it's still way much better than the VIOS, tekan also kennot jalan(even my wife said that...and her colleague who tested the VIOS also said that). The Earthdream CVT is actually more responsive than my Inspira in the low RPMs...
(which makes it excellent for City driving...oh wait...this is Honda City, not Honda Mountain Pass...of course leh...doh.gif )

I have 3 years of CVT driving experience btw...LOL.

Greetings City owners!  smile.gif

I am not one of your kind, but am seriously considering buying a City in the near future. I'm sure people here could go on and on about the benefits of owning a City (it is the owners club after all). However, as a potential buyer naturally I'm most concerned with its weaknesses  unsure.gif  So I'd appreciate your icon_question.gif to share your most honest and unbiased view on any problems and dissatisfactions you've had with your beloved City.

Areas I'm particularly concerned with are
- fuel consumption - Better than VIOS according to user's feedback...According to specs, beats VIOS and Almera
- reliability - It's a Honda, apa ktard mau lagi?
- after sales service - It's a Honda, apa ktard mau lagi?
- cost of servicing and spare parts - no difference than VIOS or Almera...probably cheaper than Almera according to Almera's user's feedback of TCSS rip off services.
- back seat suspension and comfort of ride (my not-so-young parents will be sitting at the back) - V-Spec is harder than E-Spec. E-Spec comfort is very decent. Just don't go fast over small nasty bumps. Anyway, some superior comfort tyres will improve the situation even more.

but do highlight any other City-specific problem areas too. No decent competitors. tongue.gif

All comments are most appreciated thumbup.gif

Cheers!
*
Anyway, go test drive, and compare the specs and price.

I have test drive Vios,Almera, Attrage, Jazz Hybrid, Rio, Picanto and City before deciding on the City.

If you really wants superior comfort in the rear, i suggest you get an Inspira instead...beats all of the above. tongue.gif

Share platform, engine and gearbox...same lor. It's a City without the boot.

Treat it as a superior and slighlty bigger Myvi. biggrin.gif

But it has UltraSeats which is gooding for versatility.

Thanks for replying. I noticed you had no negative comments though. So you have no problems/gripes about your City at all? Sounds too good to be true  hmm.gif Are there any particular SCs you know that are good/bad? And as for test drives, I've been to two showrooms and they only have the V spec as a test drive unit. Also, Matrix mentioned earlier that V spec is harder than E spec. Why would the ride differ between specs? From what I understand the differences between E and V should be mostly cosmetic, things like airbags and foglights. I have already test driven the V spec with my mom in the back, and she said it wasn't that comfortable compared to some other models I test drove.
*
The rims and tyrre size. That makes the diffirence.
If don, like, buy Inspira, beats god car anyday with superior comfort
for about same price. Go test drive the high end spec with the leather seats.

Sure boh??? E specs already extremely light...should be the same for E specs since rim size also the same.

hi guys,
may i know what is the common/average waiting time to get the car after paying down payment (the car has arrived, but my SA seems procastinating things)
i've booked blue v spec..
thanks..
*
Mine is about 3 working days...but I delay my SA because I am not free to take my car on weekday..lol. If do quickly, in the end took 5 working days including tinting.
But the tint done on same car collection day...maybe its better to ask your SA to deliver 2 days after tinting because need minimum 48 hours for tint to dry...otherwise cannot rolldown window...very troublesome!! Lol

biggrin.gif .. i've booked in mid April, planned to have at end of june( so that i have ample time to save for dp), but SA dragged to mid July
Loan no problem...a week(if i'm not mistaken) after paying booking fee already signed the agreement
The tinting is done by my SA as i am not free on weekday. I also ordered modulo body kit to be installed. Hopefully this saturday i would get my car... wait so long already..  vmad.gif
*
Not a good idea....my SA only ask me to sign the agreement when the car is ready. I only sign agreement when i pay the downpayment...so you are still free to change your mind while waiting....i booked S-Spec, in the end change to E-Spec...LOL. Next time don't sign agreement until car is ready.

I donno, SA told me to sign early because at that time he said interest rate going to increase..
got 2.44 rate..

BS. Once you apply for the loan and approved, it's locked at that rate. But anyway, 2.44 is good rate, so don't complain liao.

Strange, 1k on 1st month ma, 10k/6 months should be Oct!!!

Maybe they mistaken on the model and follow the old city service routine?
*
Normal lah...most SC in Malaysia benggang wan..regardless of brand....you must tell them what to do.

Maybe some of these jokers are the caused of the problem of wrong gear oil change causing the iDSI generation gearbox problem....

When you guys change gearbox engine oil...asked kaw-kaw and ask them to show you which oil...ask them previous gen city(using Torque converter 5AT gearbox) which oil too...if they point to the same oil, lari kuat-kuat.

i will go service next month... mileage estimate will be around 5xxx next month..i will follow the schedule according to month due to i seldom drive...not mileage ..

my previous service is on May.

Next Service should be Oct. And no, don't go service. Please read 1st post. The new city has a special engine oil from factory which is suppose to run in for 10k km. So let it run.

1k/1st month you need to go inspect only. Free labor

10k/6months you need to go service d. Free labor but Part price 192.98

20k/12months. Labor 126.14 + Part 98.52 = Total 224.66

...
*
Labor more expensive than parts...kanasai...

Why the oil so cheap?? Used mineral oil ah? I think i will use full synthetic since mileage low and will only service car twice a year.

Btw, anyone has done some basic waxing and coating (not those PPS/SierraGlow, just normal one)? Any recommended shop to go around PJ?

Err...IF he changed engine oil during the previous service, maybe yes.

But all Hondas don't change engine oil during 1K/1 month service. Thus, I'd err on the side of 10K/6 months regardless of when you did the 1st service, cos 1st service is just inspections/chassis tuning/checking.
*
Oh...thanks for the highlight...yah..

That means, if received car in April, Service 1k in May, Service 10k in October.

When i did my 1K service, i asked to see the service schedule with price for all. same as your quote here but the admin there tell me, the prices listed are for mineral oil and they will automatically change to full-synth oil when i come do my actual service. so you need to add another rm100 to each quoted price.

10k = RM292.98
20k = RM324.66

If you want semi-synth then add rm20 only. Im thinking of going for that. seems like semi-synth is better value anyway.
yes, prices quoted are mineral oil.
im probably going to use optimum no rinse instead of wax but havent purchased yet.
got meh? the admin tell me they dont publish out the service schedule and price...
*
Yes. Minimum semi-synth. Since my mileage so low...i guess semi-synth also won't be problem at all.
