Not sure how people can choose between City vs X50.

Two completely different types of cars.

I want to use it as only car for city + highway drive, either works as intended. I am comfortable with the ~RM100k price range and like the looks & packaging of both cars. Seen both on the road and both look great in white/red!

The difference is CityRS gives better fuel economy, Apple Carplay and potentially better handling from lower ride while X50 FS gives 1.5T GDi hp and torque, better safety/convenience suite (ADAS 2.0 including low speed follow, full 360 camera, BSM), and lastly pano sunroof.

Hope this clarifies.

Serious: why don't you consider Vios GR. CVT with 10-speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic

I think better than City V but lost on engine performance

Haha... you don't need to clarify anything.

These 2 vehicles are realistically in different categories. That's the reality.

How you decide what you want, that is up to you.

Thanks for this Just checked it out and it looks like a great car! However, I really value the ADAS suite (lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, low speed follow, etc) which somehow is omitted on the Vios GR.

As per title. This will be my first car and can't decide.. Plus points (not listed in order)

Honda City V:
+ More tried and tested
+ Probably lower maintenance cost
+ Android Auto and Apple Car Play
+ Spacious interior and boot
+ Paddle shifters
+ Higher resale value
+ Cheaper than X50 Flagship almost RM20k

X50 Flagship:
+ Latest ADAS technology, almost self driving, complete safety suite (360 camera, front sensor)
+ Pretty full-digital instrument cluster
+ Powerful engine and transmission, better power-weight ratio (177bhp to 1.3ton)
+ Newer model to Malaysia (less boring than 5th gen City)
+ Prettier exterior and interior (IMO)
+ Electronic park brake

What do you think? Please discuss and very much appreciated.

Also considered but not keen: Vios, Almera, Civic (outside budget)

RS got low speed follow?

Different class, compare apples to apples, orange to orange. Mini suv and saloon, topkek, if x50 and hrv and aruz, baru sama. Anyway poofag can choose X50, lol!

X50 waiting time and parts availability is a big issue, don’t underestimate the importance of post-sale service.

Do you NEED a car now?

If not just wait and see. Don’t go for 1st batch of any car, normally those are horrible (unless CBU import from overseas like proton inspira that the 1st batch was imported from Japan, X70 first batch was imported from China).

Local assembly is always shit QC. They normally go to an acceptable level from 2nd batch onwards after people complain.

i dont think is gonna be much issue in terms of Quality control.

car manufacturer tolerance now is quite tight.

1 valid point is.....the parts availability. i heard some horrible story that until today...x70 spare parts is still very scarce.
