Leather seats and soft touch on dashboard
LED headlamps
Duck tail spoiler
Additional 2 airbags

That's all i could recall

For daily commute, reckon that E spec already sufficient as it even has reverse camera and paddle shifters

For V-Spec you get :

- Fog Lamp
- Extra Airbags
- Leather seats & steering wheel
- tweeter
- 16 inch wheel.
- Front and rear LED lamps

Depends on your priority.

If money is not an issue, take V-spec
If you focus on safety, take V-spec.
If you want overall lower maintenance / cost to repair your car, get E-spec. (you will feel this when you are about to change 4 pieces of 16" tyres, Or when you need to replace your front LED headlamps on your V-spec)

the absence of rear aircond vent is a let down. but still a good choice.

The only worthy upgrade of V spec is the additional 2 curtain airbags. Everything else is just accessories. Depends on you if you think the accessories is a must then go for V


I bought E spec only because it is the most value for money, and cheaper to maintain.

Less instalment per month (the instalment difference is about the my monthly petrol cost)
Tyre change is cheaper
Replace front and rear lamp is cheaper (in KL many motorcyclist just bang n go laugh.gif )
E spec also dont lose a lot of accessories to spec V. Still have reverse cam, digital aircond, 4 airbags, paddle shifter, touch screen player, rear aircond vents, auto cruise

So far i only added tweeters to my E spec city, plug and play with original harness taken from honda halfcut. Less than 200 only

bought E spec on November 2018. Agree with E-Spec have already enough accessories(digital aircond, read airvents, seat airbags, cruise control). the other stuff like rims, leather seat, foglamp can just install outside shop

When selling car, high specs would be easier to sell. Low specs no want come see. need to wait slowly. However, high specs doesn't guarantee you high price.

Overall, e is good enough, the only significant difference on V is the extra two airbags.

City is not like Jazz where the difference is massive. If I was to get a new City, I would get the full spec V variant.

But I rather spend my money on a Persona rather than a City.

The extra airbags in the V spec is worth the price difference. You can't modify a car to have any additional airbags.

Also easier to sell on next time as it is a full spec.

If I remember correctly the difference between the 2 was about RM6k isn't it?
