Agreed, although iDSI can save FC alot but the power is abit weak. Imagine how frustrated one could be when on the hill you have no choice to over a cut a super slow car but then not enough power, then comes again a car from behind keep on highlight on you to move aside.
So, for me, power is more important. At least it helps in emergency over cut.

New City's 5 gears should be almost same like Civic. Compare to others 4 gears auto i think it still save alot.

You are right. After all those who choose iDSI main purpose is to save FC and they by nature should be doesn't really matter on whether the car is powerful or not.

This I'm not sure, as i never drove one before yet. Hehe... But i read many iDSL user experience is lack of power for sure.

Me too believe so. But any how have to wait until the actual car come out then only can test out the actual performance.
My neck getting longer already.

I wonder whether the Honda sales representative info is tele or not in between them internally or they just simply "handam" or what?
Another Honda sales rep i know told me that the City will reach by November this year. Really confused us.
But never mind for me as I won't be getting to City so early though. Long way to go.
Just can't wait to go for test drive only for now.

Haha.. It's like PC and Hand phone lar.. New model will come time to time, there's no way you can follow but just save your money, wait, and choose only once for the best model you think you like most.
Talking about model which won't change, make it an example Toyota Wish. See until now never heard any new face lift or model to replace it too what, Although it's still widely attracted people to buy after so long the same model's on the market, but there's might be some people who think, "Why isn't Wish got any new model yet?"

If you get what i mean..

He probably got enough confident on the up coming new City already. But it's ok, he can be the volunteer to own test the car and describe to us in more details on the comfort and usability of the car. Ngek ngek ngek..

But any how i don think the new City will let people down lah. It at least will have a certain level of product trust to buyers for sure lar. Honda ler...

The original RIM looked ok but then as I'm a owner of a Wira SE, i know how difficult to clean and wash this sort of rim. Not easy at all to make it totally clean u know.

For me i'll defintely change the rim (to a 17" may be , just like the Europe Honda City pic) or else option for the other lower spec new City rim if Honda allow.

Anyway, how many of u guys will go for the City fully accessories equipped? Or go for Mugen kits? Or just stick to normal standard version?

Haha... I also op for black interior but most probably taking modulor without spoiler then later got money add a Mugen spoiler..

Well for me, nothing is cheap in Sgpore i guess..
But Let's hope the new Honda City in Malaysia price goes reasonable and affordable lar.
Other wise I will have no choice but pay(forcefully spend) more for a Toyota MPV adi.

Agreed with u.
First thing is I still don't understand why Honda doesn't want to add the Civic digital speed meter into the City.
Second thing, why they removed the water resistant seat on new City.
Third thing, If the price is to be so high, it will sure kick ppl to Vios or probably user rather add more to take Civic instead.

It's still HM to reconsider on this.

Definitely! In addition not sure also whether the hand work of the mechanic is satisfied or not.
I always get this answer "That how it is originally" from the mechanic wherever there's problems that i'm not satisfy after the hand work finished.

Travis, I thought you have adi decided to take City SV frmo earlier time.

I fully agreed with you. I'm actually a fan between Honda and Toyota too. But Altis is just that, argh.. I can see it's just abit like facelift to me as the size, light design is almost the same compare to the old Altis. While City is whole knew design, not facelift.

No offence but i'm not sure about u all. For me, i will rather choose a medium size car which i'm confident driving in than choosing a luxury but large car which i'm not confident driving. For example i've seen people driving a large car but not familiar with it's size especially crossing some valley, simple take few minutes to cross over. Terrible.

Ya lor.. Really OOT very far to india adi.. LOL..
By the way, not sure whether this gen of City will still have the Gear box problem or not as experienced by previous gen of City. I'm somehow being advised by relative for don't take City for the gear box problems.
Need to further investigate to gather fact to convince him.

Let's hope so..

Hehe.. will do..
If the problem is no more.. really hope we will be the first to drive it on the road and others just looking at ur car.. Phew.. Syok .. Haha..

Wahahaha.. Good good.. Since all of you so confirm then i can get ready to go back and shoot back.. No worry, won't use bullet one.. Water gun will do.. LOL..

Now have to clear credit card debt, after that only can start gather RM10k for the down payment. If get put RM15k+ as dnpymnt even better. Interest sure lower.

You guys love the Modulor equiped more or the normal one moded like the Australia version posted earlier... ?

I think HID is already a no no for most people these days since it will be prohibited and soon took action by Police. Sigh!!

Yeah, me too very attracted by the 17" 5 lugged rim. But if every1 also took the same design then it will be very common on the road adi..
Have to see got any other option looked better than this or not.. 17" too.

Well, modulor simply better as it made the car look bigger just like a Civic. Looked special. (Only thing lack is Modulor doesn't have Mugen type spoiler.)
But mean time if just have a little adds on this and little change on that just like the Australia version also not bad. But have to custom nice nice lar..

Autocar ar... I saw it but nvr purchased.. Cause a while only the mag sold out.. haha..

Actually i were kinda like the original front grill of the City. It makes it special and easy recoqnized as a new Honda model. But my friends optioned for the Modulor grill.. as sporty..

I think it's shouldn't be over 90k. If that's so. I'll be same like you, rather go for Civic or other model with a little top up.

I agreed.. But to be exact, after 30s too remain to have buying power.. on after RM150k level type of transport. Haha..

Mike, i think i missed out your post with the video. Could you repost the link here? Thx..

As long as it's still save lots of petrol compare to many cars with the improved 5 speeds then it's shouldn't be that bad lar.. But for sure need some actual driving experience or review only can have precise idea and understanding lor.

Deng.. My color option for the City is either white, blue or grey. If there's no white color to MY. Means i will lost 1 out of 3 options already.. Argh..
Sien jor..

Agreed... I believe Honda sure doesn't want to change the main impression of City which is big & comfort inside. They made a nice action by lowered the car which is loved by most people these days.

Yup. That's why after equipped with Modulor. It really made ppl feels like it's as big as a Civic. Hahaha...
Just one thing worry is whether the modulor can compete with Mugen look only.
(Although Mugen is quite nice but some design just doesn't match certain model of car. No offence!! Just 2 cents. )
Anyhow i'll definitely go for a Mugen spoiler if it doesn't made the City too "AhBeng".
