General Information

If you're looking for a car that is very efficient when it comes to fuel, then look no further as I-DSI would fit your option very well. The I-DSI has good low to mid-range torque.

If you're looking for a car that has better power, and don't mind the slightly higher fuel consumption compared to I-DSI, then you should check out the VTEC model. The VTEC has good mid to hi-range torque.

Honda City's Fuel Tank is 42 litres. Both models I-DSI and VTEC has the steermatic control (7-speed manual/auto shifting on the steering).

The automatic gearbox's selection is:
P - Parking
R - Reverse
N - Neutral
D - Normal Driving
S - Sports Driving
L - Low Gear

3rd Generation: VTEC | I-DSI
Interior: Beige | Beige
HP on Engine : 110hp | 88hp
Rear Brakes : Solid Discs | Drums
CD-Player: Kenwood 50Wx4 CD-MP3 Player | Blaupunkt Miami Beach (if i'm not mistaken) 50Wx4 CD Player
Meters: Normal meters | Normal meters
Rear seats: Ultra seats | Ultra seats
Wheels : 15" Alloys | 14" Alloys

No electronic folding side-mirrors.

4th Generation: VTEC | I-DSI
Interior: Black | Beige
HP on Engine : 110hp | 88hp

Both has foldable side-mirrors, ABS and dual-airbags and 15" alloy rims.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comes with 40,000km or 2 years free maintenance warranty (whichever comes first) meaning all parts and labour would be free. Also comes with 100,000km or 3 years warranty on parts (whichever comes first).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

My opinion on the issue regarding power:

I'd like to talk about this power / horsepower issue on the I-DSI that has often given it quite a rough image that it would be underpowered compared to other cars of the same displacement.

The City packs quite a lot of technology within it and thus the I-DSI although it's engines rated horsepower is 88hp, it will still be good. Why? What's important is the amount of power/torque transferred to the wheels. As we all know, not all the power from the engine gets transferred due to power loss due to the airconditioner, transmission, steering and all that. Now, this is why the power on the I-DSI and VTEC is good.

The City has Electronic Power Steering (EPS) meaning it is non-hydraulic (no fluid ) and that has saved quite a good amount of power loss. The City also has a CVT transmission that is without a torque converter which means, less power loss again. Some of you may have experienced your City rolling back on a slope and power taking a while to be transferred, and this is the reason why. No torque converter. Two of these factors itself reduces quite a good amount of horsepower to be transferred from the engine to the wheels.

Toyota Vios, Nissan Sentra, Hyundai Accent, Perodua Myvi, and many others comes with conventional auto gearboxes and hydraulic steerings. and thus takes up quite an amount of horsepower from the engine.

cheers!

mydelsol,
Added.

i thought our stock tires are Good Year NCT5? how come you're going for the same tires? I'll go for other brands when I change mine.. rims wise, no idea.. haha.. economy tak baik

vin_ann,
as long as the car has good service records, it should be fine. But depending on how old the car is, do understand that some parts may be due for replacement and you should have some cash in hand to replace them. Owning a car is much easier than maintaining one

i saw 2003 city ISDI is around 57k
city has 3 years warranty right? so 2003 car is definetely out of the warranty

just want to ask is the spare part will be expensive?
i don't want to get broke by fixing it >.<

i wanna get city vtec too. sigh...no money now. still paying for my stupid proton. if say loan for 9 years, every month need to pay RM900+ instalment right? kinda heavy...

errr.....i drive jazz but i bought a city for my mom, ok or not?
