Own people got different wisdom levels and views..

Worldwide sales figures don't made up, and peoples in the world have made their decision making choice.. only in this country, Japanese #2 automotive company doing well.

Ask many of yr friends whom drove City, you will know how frequent they need to make SC appointment to fix many issues. or go to LYN city forum, and you'll what I meant.. Thanks for the feedback. Different people got different appetite tastes..

just removed mine one. I just stating that got the wind release sound which i think is a compressor kick-in sound only. Not really a QC or something.

No wonder suddenly got toyota vios thread notification, can't remember i ever posted here.

Is yours J-trim? As per the reflector headlights.

Bought E spec c/w tint +safety film and dvr in Dec 2016, upgraded GX body skirting, sport RIM, front chrome grill bar, t10 small front headlamp and rear number pplate WHITE bulbs.

No plan to change main headlamp, fog light bulbs or multimedia steering control YET..

Me too, suddenly got a notification from vios thread. However, so far i never regret to buy my city V spec.😀 so far so good.

And malaysian is not stupid too. Higher sales in Msia because honda willing to give more 'spec' to consumers in Msia vs other brands.. my 2 cents

it all depends on the buyer's need
I do agree that the V spec honda city is very tempting - with LED headlights and rear tailights, paddle shifts, 16" rims, 6 air bags

but at the same time, vios does come with some good spec as well such as rear disc brake, tint, DVR, 360 camera

in the end i chosen vios, because of those things included above seems more practical for my usage.
sure i would like to have 6 airbags (are you listening toyota?), LED, and paddle shifts

but with vios, i dont need to think about tinting - no need go shop and wait for them to install or worry about JPJ. The included tint is actually good enough. not sure if honda salesperson help to install for free now (i was offered vouchers instead) but i dont need to fork out additional $$$ for tinting.
DVR already installed - no need worry about hiding cabling, or warranty if get 3rd party accessory shop to install
360 camera - some may argue dont need 360 camera for b-segment car, but there are times when i found it very useful especially parking

and other things like reliability (not to say honda is bad or anything, but my dad use to own a toyota liteace van, which was driven more than 15 years, and i had a 1st gen vios, which was bought from second hand, 2004 car, until i trade in for the new vios) and (slightly?) less QC issue, as everyone is getting a honda nowdays

also, outdated or not, i actually prefer knob over touch screen for the aircon controller (1 thing though, the knob could use a more modern looking design)
i found knob are easier to "feel" and change without looking at it, especially when driving.

~just my opinion~

100% agree!!

Today manage to changed the parking light(small light) and head light bulb myself.. phew..

Headlight bulb = Phillips White Vision 3700K (H4)
Parking light = Philips X-treme Vision LED 360 W5W 6000K (T10)

Parking light
- Left is the Phillips LED W5W 6000K, right is the original.


Headlight
- Left is the Phillips WV 3700K, right is the original.


After done both side (parking light ONLY)
- Forgot to turn on headlight, so its only parking light.


Difficulty during installation
- For the T10 bulb is totally easy to change.
- For the head light, it is a bit hard as the power cable connected a bit tight to the bulb base, took me few minutes to pull out the cable steady and easy. Plus on the cable pin got some sort of lubricant, very greasy lol..

Overall satisfaction with this small mod
- 9.5/10

Total damage
- Phillips WV 3700K H4 - RM115
- Philips X-treme Vision LED 360 6000K T10 - RM90
Total cost = RM 205.00

The Phillips WV 3700K bulb is better than original bulb, looks brighter and the color is yellowish white, which almost identical to day time light temperature. Very enjoyable during at night with this kind of lighting.

Hey bro, just to ask h4 bulb can match with 9012 bulb as far as i know the current vios is using 9012 bulb??

You can refer below for the light bulb type for each specs of VIOS. So far didn't know about 9012 bulb, or it's fog lamp?

Haha, that's the reason why we end up bought different car. For me, cruise control, 4 additional airbags, better fuel consumption is way more practical. These are the things that u cant install urself after u bought the car.

For tint, camera etc, you can top up anytime u want. My 2 cents.

Yeah, different people different taste, but new Vios actually have a better fuel consumption and you can't install rear disc brake on a whim either. I used to owned a proton Preve, and i actually loved that car. Great handling and braking power and also nice to look at. The only problem with it is reliability and it sink into my pocket deeper than Mariana Trench. After that, reliability is the first thing i look when buying a new car. Toyota and Vios has a good track record, high resale value and I kinda like the way it look.

Kentbong92,

Just some top up for my previous post.

HIR2 also equivalent to 9012. There are the same

As for Fog Light,

Honda use H11 12V/55W
For Toyota, H16 12V/19W

Outcome? Ours is dimmer compared to Honda as the wattage is lower.

IMHO, 4 - 6 airbags will additional bonus to protect side door passengers, but the front 2x SRS airbags are the utmost critical importance. Cons = if car accidently push hard pedal,hit front house wall / barrier > 20km/h, all 6x airbags will be triggered and need replacement using own pocket $? On many many QC portion feedback on City forum, if the clockspring isn't working or QC nylon fabric not fold well into steering wheel, dashboard, side door, no point having 4 - 6 airbags..

Airbag = useful safety tool during ACCIDENT happens.
Rear DISC = useful safety tool too. Brake confidence, efficient + effective. To PREVENT accident happen..

If possible, future car in Malaysia have Both mentioned above, and other extra safety features as standard variant.. give more safety features than optional sport rim, body skirting, interior gadgets. Thanks

Every car brand nowadays also cut cost la.. Even last 2 weeks major accident happened near ktm Serdang there involving HRV and lorry, the HRV driver also dead lol..

Many safety features too.. and many compromise QUALITY safety features installed in cars nowadays?? Safety first. Same goes to Quality.. don't compromise with human being LIFE at any cost at any time..

standard car safety features must have in variant models. question = how reliable, efficient and efficient of these safety features?? Are automotive companies are listening??

yeap h16 usually alot dimmer and not much bulb choice too

used to sell philips diamond vision bulb for that size, but color output still too yellowish

lucky now with led kit , can just pasang one easily and still get the 6000k white effect
