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)

topup cikit for sunkist oren

Honda city RS hybrid je la.

Saves your money no need to refuel too frequently.

Hybrid > all
Honda > all

What is sunkist oren?

New city rs com9lan7fam 110k you all want 253 Nm?you gonna pay

X50 value for money
Like /k always say "worth it"

Today saw new city, front like civic already.

top up sikit get 3 selies sunkist oren

my advice, go test drive all and decide yourself. dont listen to keyboard warrior online.

for me i prefer mazda 2
coz if u touch up the rim n bodykit
more hngghhhh than city rs

Get vios better

Thanks.. Went to see both in showroom already but didn't get to test drive.. Now test drive also need to do booking and queue for days.. *facepalm*

This is the best. After all its not the netizens who's gonna pay for your car

it kinda depends on your priority, for me, im looking more into maintenance cost and NVH/comfort, x50 itself is value for money but the replacement costs for that 18 inch tyre and quicker maintenance due to turbo is a turn off for me

city is great in that aspect but jury is still out on nvh and ride, previous gen was quite bad

Seems many people are voting RS Hybrid.. may I know why? Many saying resale value is a concern and maintenance cost if electrical components break down is high.

I like the torque but I am worried about highway performance.. 98hp engine doesn't inspire a lot of confidence

X50 wind noise like a Boeing plane, if you don’t mind.

then get the current vios if can't wait. if not wait for the next vios.

haha! ironically im looking into vios/yaris the most now, but i'll never forgive myself if i drive the current vios/yaris design, to me its unacceptable. nevermind, i will wait for the facelift which is rumoured to come in december hehe

As a honda owner myself, i dun recommend u to own honda. Full of shit and qc problems.

Just submitted my documents to Honda SA for City V Spec Grey

How long waiting time?

Nov can get liao

errr.... I find it weird to compare.. we usually compare a SUV vs another SUV...

U need to know there's many diff between SUV and Sedan, and then u decide u want a sedan or suv ? then if sedan we compare another sedan..

if not, u can dan compare x50 vs honda city vs myvi, beza etc..

decide u want a suv or sedan ? then pick the comparison,as they are diff category.

Wa, very fast le. Enjoy bro!

BTW any alternative for a 253 Nm Sedan at this price range?

I see nothing except the getting bored Civic

Boy96
what say u?
really bising?

+ More tried and tested
+ Probably lower maintenance cost
+ Android Auto and Apple Car Play
+ Paddle shifters
if u found this is pro for city, that tell you what car u should choose.

idk, during my test drive ok jer to me

your best feedback could be in their FB group. City has ton of problem. X50 still new, but if the quality on par with local build X70, then just keep your finger crossed.

I personally more inclined to Vios for less headache compare to city, but bit boring.

Cry blood wen its time to change batteries.

Mazda 2 small cabin, small leg room, 100k, with that budget can get bigger car

Any rebate? Seems like lots of ppl choose V spec, even those in fb honda city group, they post their new car all are V spec

ady page 2 , no one mention honda topkek ckd ?

1k service voucher, dashcam and other freebies

V Spec and E spec only different by 5k. But somehow I like the dual tone rim in E spec though.

coz its fast. dont drive like its a boeing plan. drive 140 150kmh max cukup

on the other hand, city NVH is so out that u can fart comfortably without nobody notice above 90kmh.

Honda City RS Hybrid best! save fuel, powerful pickup. unlike those suv block people view.

I see, how much is your monthly instalment now?

Felt like honda terbalik the rim for E and V spec. The previous gen, V spec always has the prettiest and dual tone rim now V spec only have the normal looking rim

Please get someone to sit behind during test drive. Previous gen City is bouncy at the back.

Wind noise. Its the insulation. But I doubt the ride will be comfortable if you go beyond 120kmph - its a baby SUV after all.

As the driver of the car, you are supposed to show dominance by loud farting. Siapa tak suka can get off the car.

then wait for the next vios. but vios being vios, most likely still boring..

None

Wait for 2nd or 3rd batch. See first any issue from those lab rat

Am surprised anyine still consider Honda after so much bad publicity on their quality.

After Honda Malaysia threaten one guy to take down his FB page, another one spring up for unresolved Honda issues.

Despite all these I still see many Honda recommendations in /k ?

honda je lah. cheap maintenance. 5 years after use, sure higher resale value than any proton you buy

I can't get over Honda City even on V Spec punya cheap ass ugly meter cluster. It looks like huge downgrade compared to it's previous gen meter cluster.

Rest of the interior pun hodoh

they tot it is bulletproof, bulletproof yeah tell that to gm2 its okay if gm6 pandai2 la hidup haha.

i didnt vote,
i am here holding popcorn

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the replies. Just test drove Honda City V today and I think it's still my first choice if X50 Flagship (with ADAS 2.0) didn't exist LOL. The engine still makes a bit of fuss when stepped pedal to the metal and instrument cluster a bit cheapo (look like Persona ). But otherwise no complaints.. big boot space, roomy interior, good sound system for its price, lovely pedal shifters and sports mode and feels fast enough when required. I think it's the safe and reliable choice. Plus can get car within 1 or 2 mth instead of 6 or more month for X50 if you book today..

Haiyaaa, wish Proton quickly ramps up production and make X50 faster. Can wait 1 or 2 month but 6 month is kinda too much imo.

But seeing Hyundai Kona launch 1.6T with ADAS at 144k (152k next year), I think the X50 is still the B-segment crossover/SUV killer. If only the waiting time got cut and price was 5-figure, then probably best sales for 2021 haha.

Hi everyone, bumping this since City RS pricing has been released and is about ~RM3,000 more. What do you think?

Went to dealers and City RS ready stock available whereas X50 booking since Nov 2020 still need wait 1-2 months..

HONDA family face

top up RM4k to get Civic 1.8 same spec like pulis car

Haha, nice point of view.. but I really appreciate the Honda Sensing / Proton ADAS and Civic TC-P cost RM30k out of budget boss..

Any thought on these two?

how much did the SA offer you for the RS and when can get car?

todei sign semalam dapat kereta?

Topup abit Civic tebu

New city front look like civic.

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

save 40k buy ativa

Prefer Geely Binyue but X50 is the best we can get

Both are expensive >RM100k car.

I will say it depends which hyped you wanted to join/avoid.

On one hand X50 is offering SUV and L2 autonomous driving hype. On another hand City RS is like an EV.

Not sure how people can choose between City vs X50.

Two completely different types of cars.

This City RS really doesn’t make any financial sense to get. Hard pass.

undi rosak sebab takda opsyen Myvi

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.

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.

Just ask yourself, are you wanting/ready for driving an EV like vehicle, now?

You can practically treat RS as an EV, minus the charge your car part.

Which back to my very first suggestion, you wanted to join the SUV/high tech hype or the EV/smart vehicle hype.

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.

OK thanks

Spare parts availability .

Honda wins

Less time stranded at workshop .

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!

Brainless also knows X50 is the best la...

Topup a bit get Accord

Unfortunately no, hence making life difficult. If got low speed follow (like Civic's Honda Sensing), confirm take cityRS. It has the lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control though.

Not helpful as I already explained above why I am comparing them. Skipping the comment about poorfag lol, please check youtube for some of the luxury car owners who also bought x50.

open poll for peasant cars... don't bring down /k to your level

Everyone in ASEAN can own a Honda but can they own x50 With the Exception of filipinos?

I say x50. Its unique. After 5 years u can buy Honda if you want.

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.

First batch of cars are always the problematic ones if assembled in Malaysia la.

U don’t trust me go masuk the X50 group.

Now owners starting to complain on the QC part. U are only dreaming if u say car manufacturers tolerance now is quite tight.

First batch, always, avoid. Unless CBU.

Ever consider Harrier hybrid?

X50 has one of the worst FC i have seen for a 1.5 turbo

40l tank doing 320km - 350km...

Same FC with my Merc 2L turbo

never heard of a nerf consuming that much of fuel? an old model??

go for civic tulbo
trust me
+high resale value due to high demand
+same maintenance cost as city v
+aame performance as city rs

Preve was 400km for 50 litre tank. Lagi teruk.

Well, its a 1.6 Turbo engine. Besides, its a shitty Campro engine. So its not surprising.

A45

Honda City for hassle free. My gfren won't say > haaiya still potong ma

Love this comment and really thought hard about it but outside my budget for now unfortunately.. and also new model incoming soon..

Paddle shifters are naff, use for 2 minutes alrrady bored.
If can afford, better get RS. Less time spent at fuel pump and fuel price trending up.
X50 is knn ccb mcb ccp car that cannot get spare parts with low rez reverse camera.

Town driving? Mix highway? That fuel eater..

not same bro.. their 245nm is not combined output.. combine output i think lower than 170nm

regardless.. i think highway ppl constant get 380km well just join x50 group. alot ppl skating their fuel consumption

why not Proton S50

this is what my wira gets me. lol baik pakai wira

DP at least 20k then you can get your monthly almost same as city RS

kena bang that time different result lo. that's the only difference.

just go to Honda SC and test drive RS.
