Need justify

What your current car?

Saga 1.6

Hmm, firstly it depends on what car u're looking for. C-Segment or B-Segment?
Also, it depends on ur budget cz a civic will an extra 20k at least (and still this is excludng the interests if u loan them)
Mainly i think the way if feels how it drives, they are way too different. City is nice to drive around cz i feel its size being convinient, while civic u'll look good in it
Best way to choose is try driving both cars and then decide based on ur appetite

i don't normally ferry ppl so having really big interior is not really a biggie to me.

But Civic does look sportier outside but if the basic unit, looks abit meh unless I take up the 1.5 but that's another 15 - 20k.

It would feel like non-stop topping up.

But I think the Civic will consume petrol more than the 1.5 City due to the bigger engine ?

The dif in exterior looks between civic 1.8 and 1.5 is the rims size, rims, and turbo word
Yeah civic would makan more minyak lah if travelling short distance n town driving. If alot highways, then i think nt much dif. But this u gotta ask the other ppl in this thread.

You going for City High Spec?

Besides the turbo engine, led headlights, paddle shifter and leather seats for TCP, basically the base spec Civic has everything.

90k for a B segment car it’s kind of expensive.

What's the diff between the City engine and Civic TCP ?

The City it’s a normal 1.5NA engine. The HP and torque is much lower compare to the Civic 1.5 turbo.

The Civic turbo engine is equivalent to a 2.4 NA engine.

For better explanation maybe you wait others to explain I’m not really into car. Just know a bit only.

but I'm comparing 1.5 City V and 1.8 Civic now, not the turbo

Surely the 1.8 more power than 1.5. Fuel consumption no idea as I just took the car ytd and fc it’s the last thing I’m worried about.

City 1.5 V
Power 120 HP
Torque 145 Nm
Fuel Consumption 5.7L/100km
0-100km/hr (seconds) 10.8
Weight 1106kg


Civic 1.8
Power 141 HP
Torque 174 Nm
Fuel Consumption 6.3L/100km
0-100km/hr (seconds) 10.4
Weight 1251kg

If u take rm2.58/L for RON97, will cost
City: RM14.706/100KM, 14.7 cents/km
Civic: RM16.254/100KM, 16.25 cents/km
Civic 1.8 has 10% more fuel consumption

My SA ramp up to 150 to listen the wind sound I complaint. Lol

Maybe you can include City hybrid. More power than normal City which at par to Civic 1.8

City 1.5 Hybrid
Power 137 HP
Torque 170 Nm
Fuel Consumption 3.9L/100km
0-100km/hr (seconds) 9.3
Weight 1188kg

I owned 1.5TC and drove my inlaw Honda City (latest gen) quite often when i back hometown. I can say is totally different class in terms of driving experience. Civic feel a alot more solid and stable. Steering feel, handling, material used totally different class. City door is so light and plastic everywhere. Torsion beam rear suspension rather bumpy.

If you get a car just to go from Point A to B, driving experience/driving fun is not that important & prefer smaller car to move around town then City lo.. cheaper 20k

To me when you sell your car.. u can sell your civic 15-20k higher next time vs city.(Civic one of the best resale value car).. At the end still the same. But at least u drive a better car/1 segment higher for the next few years.

Petrol 1.8 vs 1.5 N/A wont be huge diff la. ..

Just my opinion.

my car also got same problem, SC foreman told me he has fixed 5 civic with same problem, took out the entire dashboard, sound are from aircond side.
end up i didn't let him to fix because worry it might get worst after take out entire dashboard. Even the test drive car also got the problem. So this is common issue for civic.

Are the led lights, leather seats, paddle shift and bigger rims necessary?

The above is the mid/top spec Civic.

Base spec Civic won't have the above.

Yep looking at the trade off which is about 15k from 1.8 to the 1.5T

That's up to your budget and preference.

I can live without all that.

Compare to what I drive previously, Civic base spec is a huge upgrade for me.
