Asking someone who don't have bars will use common sense to form it's own answer and review. As for me, it improves everything, and that is my review with no citation from other sources such as wikipedia.

I already sell off my previous owned Honda City. Less than 1 year got rattling sound here and there + loud engine noise. Now driving company car to work. No need to worry on maintenance, petrol as well as resale value. Save the money for purchasing a house. More secured and peaceful.

Now no more taichi, as I don't owned Honda cars anymore. If you want to know more, find the answer yourself. But I think you also expert in cars. Come here to kantoi people like no other business.

Well said. Engineer.

Is time to move forward, argument ended and closed.

Have multiple deep scratches. Worry it will rust. So i think better pain first.

Well, depend on what car ur mum compare to.. Myvi? BMW?
Can't give u a proper answer. Different ppl got different experience level threshold.
Wonder if anyone did a proper noise test on all Bsegment. Will be very interesting.

All I can say is cheap car come with cheap stuff.
City roof is naked. No sound insulation. tyre noise due to tyre profile/type "goodyear" and no proper tyre sound insulation.

The time I bought my car, is because I need a car for work and future small family car. Not I buy to satisfy parent. Human will never satisfy at a point. Once u luxurious car, u nvr want to look at cheaper car if have options unless serious financial encounter.

I think the NVH for this car is ok except when it is raining due to the roof has no noise insulation.
I haven't sat at the rear seats yet so couldn't comment much.
Probably becoz my previous car was a old proton saga and I was use to the noise.
But there was a few times i close the aircon and radio of my honda city but i forgot to off my engine.
When i try to lock the car, the car will beep and that is when i remember that i forgot to off my engine, haha..
Car engine is quiet, I mean for me la..

fyi, you won't get kantoi if you didn't said or do something wrong in the first place, im no expert, and i don't act like 1, a lil research prior to making comments will make you look and sound less like an attention whore

the paint job that came with the car very lousy 1, sikit sikit stone chip, sikit sikit rust...

Hey mate, my sound proofing on my city roof. Excellent noise damp under the rain, and quite cabin while driving (Don't mention the road lar.. haha~!)

Total 3 layer of sound proofing
- Bitumen strip layers on critical area
- Full bitumen over the layers
- a Layer of 3M™ Thinsulate 26mm thick (Actually 10mm is sufficient)

By the way, i took my V spec rims and tires and hook up into my sister's myvi and the tires are very quiet compare to the myvi stock tires. Right now i am using nasty AA tires that are way damn noisy. *faint*

How much and where u do that??
is the layer easily caught fire? cuz i heard some say the material easily burn...

Mind to share more of your sound proof journey on city? What's the cost involved?

Hey guys, soundproofing is all about creativity. Once you get into that, you won't bother how much will it cost.

For my car i did:
- Roof 3 layers (As i have mention before.)
- Front two doors 4 layers (I am a SQ guy, hehe~)
- Rear two doors 1 layer and some Pro pad(STP gold to kill off motorbike passing by.)
- Trunk (Use Pro pad on flat surface to kill off rain noise too) *

*Pro pad is also bitumen and layered with coconut shell fiber (Please correct me if i am wrong), is hard and flat; just peel and stick.
*I plan to get a thick layer floor mat to solve the flooring noise like yuma floor matts

The first two layer is about Rm200 (i am using silent coat brand for this layer, other brands like STP gold will do the job) and the 3M™ Thinsulate is another RM100 (Price is DIY) Outside will cost about rm550 or more. To be very honest with you, i HATE to put back the front sunshade; i went to car accessories to ask them to help me with that part - Pay them rm10 to yamzha ~took very long to fix it back.

Not easily burn with lighter, you need very high heat to do that.

You should start to pray that your soundproofing setting will not affecting the car ECU

Effecting ECU ?
mind to explane more ?
I already done front 2 door 3 layer for my city...
planning to do rear door also...

what i know is FC will be higher due to more weight...

Comment of the Day !!!

Great.. I wanted to do soundproofing too.. But don't have knowledge bout it.. thought it might be expensive..
if total less than 1K, might consider doing it.

Need to check with Honda Racing before you soundproof
