that is what I observed too.

Take it this way,
The more people buying a certain brand, the higher chance a defect will be brought up and discussed.
Then because one car of out thousands has one particular problem, those haters will magnify it and say "all honda cars are like that".

Also, not to mention I realize some of the Honda haters are actually Nissan's SA  dry.gif  dry.gif
Nissan cannot sell, then SA too free, go attack Honda on online meda  rolleyes.gif  rolleyes.gif

Keep in mind that, in 1000 cars, 999 cars without problem but the owners will not post in Facebook saying "wow my new car so good no problem"
but that 1 car owner that kena problem, will post big big in Facebook, then other people will think "wow this Honda is GG already, unreliable at all"
In addition,
I realize Honda Malaysia doesn't do advertisement as aggressive as its competitors, compared to Proton ( X50 ) and Nissan ( Almera ).
I followed almost all the Malaysian Youtube channels that discuss about cars. ALL of them, are all saying the good of the X50 and good of the Almera only during their test drive and review.

Until I actually go to showroom and test drive the cars mentioned, I actually found a lot of obvious bad sides that they didn't even bother to mention.

Somemore, none of the famous Youtubers or Youtube media get to test drive and review the New City 2020 until date ( 25th Nov 2020 morning ), except Nazz ( so far the most detailed review ) and Anthony ( who did a POV only ). Honda Malaysia doesn't realize the importance of the Youtubers and online media nowadays? Spamming Youtube ads or newspaper ads will not help much in 2020.

Just wanna chip in. Msia auto reviewers are not that impartial. The bigger boys, in order to get invited to events, tends to filter their speech. Only the smaller players (that go out their own way to rent car) can be more impartial. So during launch, dun trust what reviewers say. Especially those that managed to get the car during media preview. They often are not encouraged to say the bad parts of the car. Those who do, will not be invited to next event. So to get a more accurate assessment of Car X, is to go listen review on Car Y, if the reviewer make a comparison against Car X, that is the only review about Car X that you can trust. Because that time they need to care about Manufacturer Y. so they likely will give more honest feedback about Manufacturer X. It's sad, but that's the reality of auto world in Malaysia. And another thing about reviews, is they often talk about features at that time, they are unable to tell you about the premature failure of certain parts, since they only test the car when it is new. Only users can share the overall owner experience. These info can only be found in FB/LYN forums.
