Just test drove this car today.

My score: 8.5/10

Pros:
1) VERY VERY VERY quiet engine. Honestly, I didn't even know if the engine was turned on. No jerks, no sound, no vibrations.

2) Powerful, very smooth transmission too.

3) Interior. Beautiful interior for its price. Blue ambient lighting which you can actually set the brightness. Nice CD player with AUX for iPod too.

4) Auto climate airconds. Air conds that can adjust to the temperature and auto set the coolness.

5) Talking reverse sensor. A sensor that tells you how many feet are you aways from a wall when you reverse, it's a girl's voice anyway smile.gif

6) Leather seats, leather gear knob and leather trimmings.

7) A lot of extra accessories like a lot of cup holders, sunglass holders etc.

8) The spare tyre is the same exact size (16") and it's the same sports rims!

9) Oh, did I say VERY VERY VERY QUIET AND STABLE ENGINE?


Cons:

1) Beige-coloured seats, not my taste.

2) No passenger air bags

3) No auto-fold side mirrors


It's only RM93,888. To me, it's a real bargain. Really considering it now.

Oh by the way, waiting period is only 10 working days.

What I meant was no airbags for the passengers behind, as compared to Civic 2.0, which is another car I'm looking at.

Actually pretty much standard for local manufacturers/assemblers to give 2 airbags to CKD cars.

Maybe you can check up a bit on the quality of Honda Civics here in Malaysia, on how the users are planning to take legal action against Honda.

Or even the amount of complaints regarding the RM20k CVT gearbox of the Honda City.
