I got my new Honda City 2019 V-spec. Been driving around 3 months and recently feels very regret why I never consider Proton x70 SUV. I thinking paying extra 20k upgrade from city to x70 (Executive 2WD) at least I can get the latest model of car and much much better spec in overall.

Any opinioin or suggestion if I really plan to upgrade my car to x70, how much will I rugi if I really sell my new car ?

I wondering is outside there really have anybody doing like this to sell their new car with just few months age?

Btw, I did not mean to say that honda city is not good, I just personally feel that I could get much more better spec by paying abit extra.

20k is not " paying abit extra ". 20k is another good 2nd hand car.

20k is not much difference after dividing it into monthly installment for 7 years. Go ahead if you really want X70. Then again, X70 is still new and has not proven itself to be reliable car. Honda City on the other hand has proven track record of it's reliability. There is also the after sales service that you need to consider. Honda's vs Proton's service. Like comparing sky and sea. Don't get all hyped up by the reviews. Most of them are paid reviews because in Malaysia you cannot make a living being an honest reviewer.

Having said that, on specs and hearing from streets, the X70 does is a very nice car. If you do not mind the "loss" of selling your old new car then go for it.

20k is not a little extra man. i tell you what, topup abit get Porsche Macan S maybe?

but on a serious note, i just got myself the V Spec City as well. never regret getting it. it feels quite premium and does the job for me already for a family of 3. if i were you i'd probably consider going for the CX-5 hehe

X70 being an SUV, will have much higher FC, maintenance cost, spare part cost, etc. Not only the 20k extra, Are you ready for this?

Anyway why are you comparing B-segment sedan with C-segment SUV? Do you need a bigger car? Or just for the "feel good" feeling?

monthly extra 300+ yo, for 7 years.
unless TS or you come from good financial family.

if you willing to tank about 16k+ selling at about 70k

pm me i may be looking for one.

Just hold up, wait for ckd x70...

Lmfao , you buy straight from the showroom without test driving? I bet three months time you will post regret for not getting Mazda CX-5 or crv by topping a few thousand grands!

Is proton service really that bad? Yes indeed I've heard both good and bad Honda services, for instance the honda tak guna incident many years back and my friends recent services with Honda which is an overall good one.
For Proton, I've not seen many complains on their services, only the quality

X70? really

20k for turtle car..

The moment you drive your new City out from the showroom, it has already depreciate 10%-15% at least. Just keep

Why not wait for the new B segment SUV X50 to be launched by Proton.

LOL. expect to lost around 20k first from your 3 month old v-spec honday city

then add another 20k for your x70

so all in, an extra 40k

expensive lesson to learn

actually what is that "much better spec" are you looking at if you are going for the x70 executive version compared to v spec city? the gkui, electronic parking brake, interior air cleaner, dual zone a/c ... ? these stuff are nice to have but you can live without

Extra 20k in loan, but maintenance can afford?

I'm looking for a 2nd hand 2019 H city.
U want sell your city?

actually it started when you sign on the paper.

Reverse the roles, City passenger will suffer serious head injuries from the side impact. Side airbag only works up to a certain impact speed.

Panlai... Lol

But X70 get side impact too + turtle.

Indeed agree wo.

City fc easily 16km/L, while x70 10km/L fuel already cukur. Tyre also huge different.

Better stick with city. Later on sell city, upgrade x70, complain fuel not saving pulak.

X70 heavier than City, hence the heavy damage front end of City, even with X70 turned turtle. Sometimes if side impact, better become turtle and turn at low speed to transfer linear impact momentum into angular momentum to cushion and dissipate the linear impact. If X70 didn't turn turtle, City occupants will suffer even more frontal impact and injuries due to difference mass impact and transfer of momentum, just like impact with a stationary wall.

Again these are circumstances, modern cars are designed to survive low speed rolling and the roof can stand the weight of the car if turn turtle, high speed roll are different.

If roles reversed, all that X70 linear momentum will transfer directly into City. City won't turn turtle but slide, but impact suffered by passenger will be bad in X70 vs. City T-bone impact than City vs. X70.

the moment you bought the new car, it is depreciated. ended up u might need not enough to pay the bank with your selling price

you gotta remind yourself why you bought that city in the first place
you bought the honda for its reliability and dependability,not the gadgets
if you're really into toys and gadgets you won't even consider the city from the beginning ,even before the launch of x70,you'll be looking into kia hyundai those sorta tpy laden car

confirm rugi.

just pay your installment for another 2 year only you MAYBE wont rugi.

Only skyline is real V spec

Honda V spec fake one

PM me if decide to sell ur city...currently looking for one..

TS city non hybrid model?
X70 maybe more premium vehicle, but when comes to maintenance, its even expensive then Honda CRV 1.5liter VTEC turbo..

After you buy x70, then regret for not spending extra 20k for a better car. Then after buying a better car, regret some more for not spending extra 20k for a better better car.. and it goes on and on. You might end up driving a glc200 but regret for not spending extra to get GLE.

Keep the honda city. You can sell it after 3 years and still break even (bank balance).

Pm me if u wanna sell your siti

i want ur city too ..

anyone got info on all new city model when will come out ?
if early next year then this year got kaw2 rebate right?
last time i check 8k..

wow!

Nowadays you can get RM6K, if you are taking loan, the RM2K won't make much difference to your monthly installment. Furthermore, it may be tough to get old stock without the right connection, so no harm getting it now if you really intend to buy this model

From my experience owning both.. not much different for normal service between their SC.
but once your car got problem, its very problematic to deal with honda SC.
so for me proton>honda in term of SC

You snooze you lose

Car news portal mentioned the new City will be launched in Thailand end of this year.

Normally, Thailand will get the new car/FL first earlier than us lile the new Honda Accord and FL Civic.

make your car taller for easy turtle....

Wait few months later no fuel subsidy for 1.6 and above car, you get RM2.3-2.6/litre varies of RON95 see you still enjoy the fuel hungry monster or not. I drive Gen2 also fear of this.

Can B40 realistically afford even proton B segment?

Make your car lower than other car to prevent become turtle, instead become a good decapitation car.

Lel . buy the x 70

everyday use /k as blog to complain, cant afford petrol.

lel

There are lot better solution, instead of lower or modify a car...

watch this.. i lazy to explain..

Did you buy your car on loan and if so, how many years and the interest rate?

USD80,000 Tesla Model X = RM320,000 before excise duty and tax, want to compare with what price range car? XC90? GLE400? X5? Also, can a petrol-driven SUV has the same low centre of gravity characteristics like Model X?

If want to mention a better solution, make sure to compare apple to apple.

With enough force, any SUV will turtle. And with a pivot point (e.g. wheel hit road curb sideways), any car will turtle.

Very old car with flimsy roof will kill if car turns turtle, the roof of modern cars very unlikely will collapse when car turns turtle, unless drop from a high place, or hit a pole/tree.

i mean turtle is not safe. not comparing any car price n brand.
Don't see the Tesla, see the way it explain y turtle not safe.

bruh this from 2013, just so you know

don't argue with that guy lah, his logic doesn't make any sense at all

@ts, 20k is a lot. and if you can afford the 20k since the beginning, you wont be buying city at the first place.

you will be buying cars like ketam already and maintenance of x70 is another level compared to city.

fully aware its from 2013
Your point is?

Guys, what if compare vios G 2019 to city V 2019?

due to promotion, City is 3k cheaper (cash rebate 4K) than Vios G (Vios get free aerokit RM2800 worth)

i personally like City design, Honda's CVT, but with almost the same price, in vios i can get a lot of new features (most tempted with the panoramic view monitor), but the downside is that exterior of Vios

in term of driving experience, long term value, and your own personal experiences

For me I wouldn't get X70 just because it has more gadgets. Plus China going full electric very soon.

Enjoy your current ride.

Vios has good NVH and ride comfort

City has large interior space and gadgets.

City is due for a model change, hence the discount. If you want even more discount wait for the new model to come out, then you get more discount for old model.

Vios G isn't the highest spec yet due to newly launch.

Long term RV is how long? 9 years later no bank will provide loan, trade in will also give about 10k.

9 year vios trade in 10k ? Hahahah . I just sold mine 33k . Buyer bought with 5 years loan .

That is still able to get loan, but after another year, only cash buy.
