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. smile.gif

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

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also, outdated or not, i actually prefer knob over touch screen for the aircon controller (1 thing though, the knob could use a more modern looking design)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~

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.
