My mom's city also has this problem. Furthermore, the dashboard also got squeking sound at the first week she got her car, sent to SC and they said the airbag loosen. Then about half year gone already, which is recently, the sound come back but not so frequently, need "consistent uneven road" only will come once. I open 1 eye close 1 eye for this issue right now.

The most ignoring   case is with the sound come from the back. Everytime can hear "jit-jit" sound from rear.

I will never buy honda anymore if such problem continue... A proton won't make me so angry at least it is cheap. Considering a perdana over civic if they upgrade the interior/exterior of the perdana 

Btw, please don't compare myvi with a civic. You are comparing a cat with a tiger in terms of size, power, stability and safety (price no need say, 50k vs 120k??).

buy a myvi la, its better than civic in terms of quality and speed

now Ferarri will never open their factory here in malaysia.....

imagine rempits assembling your ferarri ?

LOL...

But then.. I heard our local rempits are "better" than most foreign engineers/mechanics out there...
Can't imagine what they will do to a Ferrari if they manage to get their hands on it...

so, how is the present quality of Honda cars?

rempits meddling wif ferrari?????? normal moto engine maybe can la..how they gonna handle those electronics..haha..most of them r school dropouts n u expect them to understand electronics term in Italian????

I was planning to get a City VTEC as a 2nd option if I can't get the Jazz VTEC, after knowing this, it reinforces my belief that CKD Hondas DO suck... Alright, that's it, CBU Thai Hondas for me ALL THE WAY...

yeah, I agree also. MyVi is the most perfect car in Malaysia. Some say in UK too. Toyota wanna challenge? THIS IS SPARTAA!!!

i canceled my civic and book a myvi recently

but isn't the city is assembled in thai? dont tell me even thai also infected by Proton syndrome

Spread over 80 acres at the HICOM Pegoh Industrial Park in Alor Gajah, Melaka, the new Honda Malaysia plant boasts three zones ? the main plant which houses the automobile assembly activities and auxiliary buildings; a Constant Velocity Joint (CVJ) factory; and a completely-built-up (CBU) pre-delivery operation center. The plant also has its own test track built to Honda's international standards.

Prior to automobile production, Honda Malaysia's Pegoh plant began exporting CVJ components to Thailand last November and in 2003 expects to produce 122,000 car sets for the City, Civic, Accord and CR-V models. In addition to Thailand other planned export markets are Indonesia, the Philippines, India and Pakistan and by 2004 Honda Malaysia expects CVJ component production to increase to 173,000 car sets/year.

With an initial production capacity of 20,000 vehicles per year, the architectural-designed Honda Pegoh plant is equipped with flexible manufacturing systems to accommodate an increase in capacity and the production of new models to meet future demand. Currently employing 600 associates in a worker-friendly environment, the Honda CR-V is the first model to be produced, and is to be followed by the City, Civic and Accord by year-end 2003. Mr. Suzuki said Honda was committed to increasing local content and was actively encouraging Japanese parts manufacturers to consider investing in Malaysia to produce other advanced components such as electronic parts which would further extend Malaysia's industrial automotive infrastructure.

even thailand's camry got small recall for some of the batch.... and the recall was scary.... nothing is perfect ler..

i support the choic for Jazz VTEC if ur budget allows... that has been my option too although i finally settle for yaris...
trust me, the overall feel will be different between CBU & CKD...

At the very least the Thais have the responsibility to execute recalls, how often do you hear such recalls in M'sia? Almost next to NONE!

Yes, I know it's really sad to be forced to settle for a CBU... I have been doing research and testing the City and Jazz for 2 years now... And the difference in quality of workmanship is shockingly huge leh! I mean, how in the hell did the Thais learn to assemble cars so well?? It absolutely puzzles me... Why can't M'sians do a better job?
