in msia, vios has already marked its 100,000th sales few months ago, and is still increasing. expensive city gonna take a while to beat this record.

if our CKD is like that, then this is real bad...

but our city is CKD, and its not imported from thailand. so it doesnt make sense if singapore sell expensive, here also should.

hope honda target their audiences right. for me, i can still:

1. get affordable white rebina (value for money)
2. buy cheaper white vios + save some monies
3. recession coming, dun buy cars and put the saving in islamic bonds lol.

there is a saying, regardless how is the economy, ppl will still buy cars because its a necessity. i'll say, be a smart buyer as there are other choices too

im one of the readers also kena frighten d lol. jsut bought my copy of autocar asean today, gonna enjoy it now


*yea, city is always good in FC, but with the overpriced of lets say extra rm5k - rm10k being invested for the car, i wonder how much fuel you can actually save in long run to gain your ringgit value back*

lol. yea, isdi is for those who always stuck in jam, travel in short distant, is build for higher rev in low speed for better pickup while save fuel at the same time. tats why less power in high speed, me think.

some potong car also quite good the FC, if its not for the "reaping off" concept. Same car same design dono for how many years already, and the quality build is getting worst back then. if they were ever to produce food, no doubt its milk also contain high level of melamine too.

Added on November 1, 2008, 6:53 pmsry a little of topic = been to ioi mall yday, they have the SX4 sedan, swift, livina, cherry mpv, persona LE and wish for display. oh boy the persona, it looks nice, feel not bad, but the steering wheel pffffft.... the car is low, my leg also hit bottom part of the steering wheel while exiting the car. cherry mpv has a lot of convenient compartments, but the quality built... swift is nice, SX4 to me is like for a sake of forcefully being a sedan. not to say im really favor livina, but among all, livina is the best vehicle in term of quality build and design displayed there. wish is there too, but locked.

true, i also looking on the interest rate and the price. but if tats the case, i just keep my old car then. and next time baru get a bigger car.

yah man, leather seats and steering wheel, nice! erm u mean it doesnt comes with the audio buttons for steering wheel rite? its a good car overall, improvement in every way + better handling and respond from steering wheel. just the engine is a little peppy but that is subjective to everyone and the price is indeed the drawback. as for msia ckd, probably uses more than 50% of local resources, so i find it hard to believe it will be expensive here.

yea superb! city is potentially great for modifying. soon we gonna see lots of rich ah beng doing it

the previous city too, imo, its ugly to be modified cos its already boxy, add the kits make it even bulkier. saw one city yday with a mugen spoilet

yah man, that is one of the rare nicely modded city around. seen the other black one too. nicely modded current city is hard to come by, no offense.

haha yea, hopefully get to know some good sifu to guide after owning the new city hehe

hey i feel u man. so now we can only wait.... another 1 1/2 month to go...hang in there

haha me been waiting since 2 yrs d but now macam takla rasa d, maybe got tired of waiting gua...n the pricing....for now im prepared to accept the price will be high n ended up not owing one

maybe and maybe not, depends on city's price tag. in the end, people will still priorities their financial capability rather than their desire.

yup, i wonder too why is toyota repeating honda's 'jazz transformation to city' mistake. anyway, it still sells ok worldwide since 2005. weird.

hmm i dun really fancy the LED headlights, cos i want angels eyes haha. and the bodykits + rims are really

yea, the aus fog light looks nice but i dun think its practical o.

here is what i want for 'my' city console panel hehe


i notice the thailand city has the tweeter by the A pillar there but singapore doesnt has it. probably custom made.


btw, if wan to equip with angel eyes, i think there are a lot of work need to be done. unless they have the after market holder, o lets not forget the wiring too. im going to do research about it once got the car hehe.

haha same same, lets wait for after market. no need headache

haha yea, im aware of that. but of course not sekali gus put in everything haha. most probably after 1 year (save money) or the warranty expired first. then will opt for whatever after market accessories and kits available. else if too soon, will be targeted by thieves then later even bigger ouch haha.

btw, me too have the same estimation of price for those items that you have listed lol. except no china brand for me, especially for the light, wont last for long as im also frequent travel at night.

if the city too expensive, the demand for it will be low and market will be slow, hence the after market acc and kits too, like CBU swift last time, very limited and pricey.

usually a car will last around 15 - 20yrs or even shorter in future. i wonder how much will we get back when we scrap it in future. the value of materials are not even fixed. i dont like the idea of paying so much now and uncertain about it in the future. i mean maybe that time, some of the material costs are cheaper, or more advance technology to reduce production cost, or cheaper material to replace them. also they should start this concept with civic hybrid rather than entry level car, make it more expensive in the end. whose smart marketing idea was that. correct me if im wrong.

kudos to mikelee for the pics! first time see the clear shot of black n gold, thanks!
