While I ask another Honda SA, she said no news on City, but Accord definitely got. If one is not in rush for car, it is definitely more beneficial to wait for the car and decide later. |

dunno wat will the price be.....
but hope not really leap la..... current city is older model dy....should reduce price...hence giv way for new model to fit into current price range....else....near to current jazz price...wth! but then.....looks from it, seems like no iDSI any more, so this new model probably not VTEC/IDSI variant, but will be L13A/L15A iVTEC variant |

new jazz oredi launch in japan d but new city still nowhere to be seen around the world... very tempted with the new engines and transmission... i got a feeling the new city will be a better car than the vios... both the engines and transmission oredi win hands down, 120bhp vs 109bhp for the 1.5 and 5-speed vs 4-speed gearbox in the vios... paired with honda's excellent ride and handling... toyota needs to work harder on the vios this time... however, all this happens if the city is mechanically similar with the currently launched japanese jazz la...

QUOTE(DaViDcHiN @ Jan 29 2008, 01:11 AM) CVT means got 7 speed auto? CVT doesn't mean 7 speed auto, although a lot of people associate CVT with 7 speed auto due to the steermatic design.CVT means continuously variable transmission. You know when you buy a new car and look at the specs, they usually have a section for the gearbox saying gear 1 ratio is like 3.506, gear 2 is 1.872 and so on until gear 5 is like 0.782 or something like that? CVT doesn't have that. It just has a minimum and a maximum, which in this example, would be 3.506 and 0.782. The gear can be anything in between those numbers, i.e. infinite number of gears. The benefit of this is that you main your engine RPM at optimum level (~2k i think, could be wrong here) the entire time so you don't get a very smooth acceleration curve and maintain good fuel consumption (since engine is almost always at the optimum level). People say its 7 speed because the steermatic allows you to "set" a virtual maximum for the gear. It doesn't really physically exist, but the gear box tries to limit the CVT to not go above those virtual ratios, so it gives the illusion of 7 "gears". In reality, they can put however many they want, 10, 20, 30 (although going so high would be a bit silly) so they just use 7. |

I'm not sure the overral dimension, but by following the trend, cars are getting larger and larger. Maybe when new City launches - "OMG larger than new Vios and Latio". I believe a lockup torque converter is much suited in our hot weather here. QUOTE(sojurn @ Jan 29 2008, 09:26 AM) CVT doesn't mean 7 speed auto, although a lot of people associate CVT with 7 speed auto due to the steermatic design... Yes... 110kmph on 1.9krpm! 7 is the magic number. I imagine they programmed 100 gears for the steermatic. LOL.

The torque converter part isn't unexpected - even Honda Japan (yes, they sent engineers here to check) cracked their head on why there are quite a number of failure on the startup clutch in here... ... I don't know the actual total number but even less than handful of failure for them is consider serious case. Considering Mitsubishi Lancer CVT are also mated with the torque converter, there's no reason to consider using it for lesser complain and a longer lasting gearbox. statement 3: This round of battle Honda might win... who knows.

here is hot but not inconsistent, i believe reliability is more as an issue in country like JP, where big gap like summer and winter takes place...their condition is more unstable than us....
it really a setback if they remove CVT from CIty, personally i feel like my fren surrounding me who enjoy driving city would very disappoint if honda remove it. newer technology always takes time to adapt by ppl.... |

Actually, CVT is very reliable so as long as you service it regularly... For Honda's CVT, as long as you change the CVT oil every 20,000KM, you'll have a problem-free driving experience... City/Jazz owners who complain about their CVT having problems is becoz they forgot/neglected to change their CVT oil as instructed in the owner's manual... |

IMO, imagine timing chain in the engine also need to replace, I'm having trouble imagining the CVT belt is invincible - as the belt face more torture than a cam timing chain.
That said, AFAIK, the reliability of the CVT rely most on the coupling device - either startup clutch or a torque converter. If they went haywire, I don't think the CVT will last long either. Unless there's option/SC that allow maintenance of the CVT belt, i.e. replace it, I doubt it could possibly last very long. |

I know is a metal 'chain' (metal reinforced rubber belt anyway), hence I'm speculating its life span is more or less similar to timing chain. Of course being slight shorter life span due to the stress it is having. The main point is, the matter of whether there are serviceable component available or, otherwise we have to replace the whole gearbox which is pricey. |

this answer is best given by honda personnel la...as we r not in it...we won't know....
i doubt sales person can tell....some1 who heading for service should try ask that...see what we can get.... IMO, it should be able to replace separately(looks to me as dumb to design something which has to replace all bcoz of 1 part) jz not sure the cost.... |

QUOTE(Eddx @ Jan 30 2008, 11:43 PM) what i mean is after all the discussion la bro According to the article I read about the new engine, the 1.3l i-vtec is around 20-24 km/l while the 1.5l i-vtec is 19.6 km/l (normal driving is closer to 18.8 km/l). This is based on how it performs on the current Jazz platform though, so if they use the same engine in the upcoming City (they probably will), the numbers should be around this range.The 1.3l maintains the current i-dsi spec from Honda while the 1.5l loses between 0.4 - 1.2 km/l. Up to you to decide if the extra 10 hp is worth it along with the new enhancements. |

I also wondering. My mom wanna buy a replacement for her stolen car. Again some minor facelift compared to last year version. I booked one already. I dont want to wait cos scare of disappointment on how it will look. Current one is pretty good looking, silent engine, and very spacious.
I dont think it will come with iVTEC unless they increase the selling price. I bet Honda will still use the old engine and introduce iVTEC at a later time (facelift version). Thats cos Toyota still hasnt done any changes to the engine compartment of Vios, just little bit of fine tuning. Same thing with Honda I think. |

While during the honda accord launch, i checked at my nearest honda showroom and chatted with an SA, and he did told me that the new city wont be arriving soon. He shared a story that there once engineer/designer from Honda Japan visited Malaysia a couple of months back and ppl asked if the new city will be launched this year.
He say its not possible coz they have not design the city yet and it will take approx 1 yr plus. So safe to say expect the new city by end of 2009. Now the next on the line for Honda is the new Jazz. Not sure when they will release it. |

honda jazz was introduced in June 2001 and it took them 1 year 5 months later to release the current city(november 2002).
Dont think city will launch so soon since it just recently launched only on august 2007. at the mean time, who would like to test drive nissan latio? i inviting you all to come and test drive nissan latio. just come and molest the car, no obligation to buy the car. hehehehe pm me for arrangement. |

No. I heard frm a source telling that during the visitation from designers of Honda Japan a few months ago, they have mentioned that they have not started on designing the new city, and it might take at least 1 yr to do so. In that case, expect the new city to come to our shores by end of 2009 at most.

The front looks good! Seems to have a better posed that the current City. The rear take abit to digest!
If indeed that how it look like, the Vios can kissed good bye on their sales! Now I wonder what is the gearbox option like. The Jazz already ditch the CVT for a 5 spd traditional AT. I can live with that! |

its indeed nice but dun rely 100% on the looks:
"We’ve already seen spy pictures of a disguised Honda City, but AutoCar India has gone a step further by featuring a digital reconstruction of the next generation Honda City. The render does a very good job in transforming the sloppy spy shots into something more car-like and recognizable. If these renders represent what the actual and final Honda City will look like..." |

porbably yes, by see the proton is still arround. as long as they are here. the price of an imported 1.3l must be more expensive then their proton 1.6 model.... but that doesnt stop smart malaysian from buying a better car then a proton made....
hahaha.. proton says. competiton from the market. i wonder who is competting with them ah ? even the 1.4l hyundai accent also very close to the waja price.. but 1.4 woh.. ppl still buy ah .. why cause it is not a proton... hahaha... |

I dont think so the price around RM60K++, because new Waja CPS is around RM64K+, people dont care whether it is 1.6 or 1.3 when compare to imported car that has more quality and look more cool. |

Any news saying that HONDA Malaysia is bringing in the 1.3L variant? Just talk to my thai counterpart this morning and she said they only have the 1.5 version over there.

In theory, I'm not really sure. But this is my experience driving both SOHC and DOHC.
SOHC picks up faster than DOHC. But when you reach certain speed, SOHC seems lagging behind DOHC. SOHC seems more powerful than DOHC at starting and I notice it's lighter too. Don't flame me. It's all according to my experience only. |

one of the SA from Millennium Auto & Carriage called me last week, told me to book now becos its coming out in november this year. i highly doubt tat, since new jazz hasnt even release yet, n it usually takes at least 6 months to introduce new model in honda.
i take my chance to wait, few more months is nothing after 2 years waiting for it. |

The Honda city from magazine compare to the spycam seems got abit differences eh.. The Magazine illustrated it to be like so attractive but the one from Spyshots is abit "wierd" feel alike.
But if it's like the one in magazine then it's still acceptable. Just abit sad as it has become like our local "Mashimaro" type (refering to Gen2), which is hatch back. No longer sedan. |

I have some updated info.
Thailand Honda will begin production of the new Honda City this September. It's expected to go on sale in Thailand in November. Malaysia will get the new City either March or April of next year. As for the Civic question, no facelift on the horizon yet. |

It's supposed to be 1.3 & 1.5L i-VTEC, not sure if Malaysia will get both variants.
No more CVT (replaced by 5 speed automatic) and no more iDSL. |

Honda probably wanted to maintain its size if possible. but look like this city is not too long rite... size like previous generation of city. hehe i heard the full spec city is using 16' alloy Rim, so this is the 16 inch. the door handle also is crome 1 Since full specs City will have signal on side mirror, so this should be the one with the 16'. Wow... can't imagine if changed the rim to 17' and placed a spoiler at the back. Phew... nice... |

if it is really sporty like the one shown in photo, imagine the mods can be done to it.
(not the beng beng type)well i do agree it looks decent like the old vios compared to the current model, but it also shapes whole new level of sportiness and muscularities. i pray it wont cost above rm95k... |

Can't really wait until Honda launch it. But i better start saving, as current saving not even reach 10% of the down payment yet. Hahaha..
Hope that the back of the new City won't spoil the whole sporty look of the head design. (Like Stephen Chow said, the tail da fan sai the head, da dou bang bang seng.) XD |

Pricing
The new 2009 City will be priced just below the Jazz. This should be easier for Honda to achieve now that the Jazz has gone up by THB 10,000 across the range. Although pricing hasn't been confirmed yet, we can expect it to be in the THB 520,000 to THB 660,000 range. The Jazz is currently THB 560,000 to THB 705,000! The outgoing City is priced from THB 484,000 to THB 645,000, but the new model will drop the i-DSI engine, and pricing will start well over THB 500,000. ---------- So in Thailand, jazz is more expensive than city? Thought it is cheaper but it is a myth actually |

Well, we still have to wait until it's actually launched in Malaysia only we'll know the actual price i guess. If it's still similar as Vios range then still ok.
Of course if it's cheaper like New Honda Stream compare with Toyota Wish then it's better to all of us. Who ever found any more actual pics of the New coming City, do post up here to share with every one. Thanks.. |

haha the reason im worry about the price would be costlier because:
1. car prices are increasing 2. it will sell well compared to vios 3. maybe trying to compete with latio btu dont get me wrong, im not speculating anything, those are just are my assumptions and i could be wrong. so let us just wait till the new jazz is launched btw, as for the current model, the salesmen will tell you "oh, because jazz is imported, that's why it is more expensive compared to city which is assembled here".

Nice design done by HONDA, really impressive and hope so for the interior design. RM80K pricing not so bad as I think those ppl who have been working for about 4 to 5 years shouldn't be any problem to purchase this car.

And if you guys really notice, it's bumper is actually trying to match like the accord design. So i can see it's trying to follow the new accord type of design including the front grill as well. Not bad, won't look that far of different compare with old City and Old Accord. |

City is popular as it's the best FC car. (Do not compare with local small squeezed size Kancil). So it should be still able to maintain the good FC like it used to.
Just one thing to worry is since it's going to change to 5 speed auto, it might change abit on the FC rate compare last time. Hope that it can still save alot. |

That's a hungering item but not sure whether it will be included in the City or not. As you can see, even accord has excluded in having the Digitized speedometer as well. Wonder why? Well i think the cost will still be the same as Vios rate, most probably the gadgets will have to be reduced in order to maintain under the limited cost.  |

indeed, vi0s-S is nothing for me, juz adding a spoiler... hope city will be more expensive than vios, so make it higher grade than toyota lar... notice that vios is actually downgrade its grade, having the J variant, really dissapointing.
look at the side look of the city, it looks so alike with the civic, abit like gen-2 also... rear look is abit like bmw 3 series+previos vios rear light+honda accord bumper. front look is unique enough... hehe basically the outlook is awesome enought to beat vios. hopefully the interior spec is also good enough.. |

QUOTE(badguy03 @ Aug 19 2008, 11:12 AM) Digitized speedometer? That's a hungering item but not sure whether it will be included in the City or not. As you can see, even accord has excluded in having the Digitized speedometer as well. Wonder why? I guess Civic has the digitized speedometer because it follows the sporty feel of Type R. Accord and City is catered more for city driving, but Accord does has an LCD attached to the dashboard.Well i think the cost will still be the same as Vios rate, most probably the gadgets will have to be reduced in order to maintain under the limited cost. QUOTE(kevin613 @ Aug 19 2008, 11:40 AM) put in the pedal shift also.. then city will be the most wanted in the 80-90k range.. I think pedal shift is good addition. Since Jazz 1.5 model does has the pedal shift, I guess City should have it too.i think it will be priced slightly above vios.. probably starts with 80k as basic model and tops at 90+ k for full spec. Anyway this was spotted by paultan from his website:  Looks like a sunroof isn't it? |

How admiring of you guys, seems so free to able to chit chatting on the forum only while i can only reply when free and have no works at office. Haha..
Anyway, Honda's service charge is in fact more expensive than Toyota if you all notice. So, actually there's a slight different between the Honda and Toyota product in term of pricing and optional (cheaper) model for Toyota specially dedicated for economy user, if I'm not mistaken. But for me, even though Honda services charges will definitely higher, i still unable to resist the attracts from this New City. Soooooo much sporty. Geeez... |

This is the new City?
No regret for urging my mom re-purchase her stolen City then. The rear is a bit like Vios cum Gen2 style and the side resemble a shorter Honda Civic. Maybe Honda trying to capture the market with a more sporty model but I thought City main selling point was it being spacious in the first place. Given the looks of it, I think maybe they decided to sacrifice either the boot or passenger space. |

The designing option under that 2 condition might just push him to have to design something out quite similar like the BMW. The new Vios is definately longer although just by a little bit. You dont have to sit inside to feel it. Just look at the space between the driver's seat and rear seat can know already. For example, Im driving the old version Vios. Normally when I fetch 3 in the back, well, still acceptable. But whenever I fetch more, the lack of space is very obvious. Thats why whenever I have to fetch more than 3, I rather drive my mom City.As long as the sporty shape is still acceptable by most people, we might just pity them and accept their design with open arms.

But however it came out that the boot is quite wide and so as the seats too. I means not that bad as expected lar. Agreed? When I goto showroom to test, I usually seat myself in the drivers side and adjust the seat backward till I get my position correct. Then I look back for the leg space. New Vios seem pretty good, probably few inches more but never to the extend of City spaciousness. For someone like me who rarely fetch more than 3, its still ok. Not something I would look for a few years later when I had my kids. Most car have enough space for the front but when it comes to the rear, many still sucks.. including my vios I have to say. |

QUOTE New Vios seem pretty good, probably few inches more but never to the extend of City spaciousness. Internal spec have comparative figures that shows new Vios is larger than current City in every direction (with 10mm accuracy) in terms of internal dimension, losing little to Latio. As for external dimension, City is definitely longer than current Vios. However, I'm not surprise Honda will make it win Vios. All Honda need is to have reduced boot space in between 500L~475L, and a slightly larger internal dimension to win Vios in 1.5L category. Coupled with 5spd auto and good price... this will forces Toyota a facelift. |

In addition is City's FC has always been better than Vios since the older version which add another credit to City.. |

As for external dimension, City is definitely longer than current Vios. Now what matters is the pricing. I bet the new city high spec will cost at 90k++ or 85k++ and quantities for CKD for Honda in Mysia is still limited. So i wont be surprised to see the vios continues to rule the sales charts due to its attractive pricing (spec E n J) and more capacity for its CKD unit.

Well, i think it still not a good idea to have a RM65k spec of City. Cause if it do, then it's class will somehow have no different compare to the Vios already. Even though it may benefits lots of those who are on budget, but it will definitely influence it's level.
Just like a very high class condo cost as low as a low class apartment where every people including bad people also can buy. Just my 2 cents.. |

how if we compare this new city wth upcoming kia forte (spectra replacement model) which will be launch in Korea this end of August?
im sure the price will be almost same but the the Forte is same category as Civic http://www.kia-world.net/index.php/category/kia-forte/ This post has been edited by squall_kay: Aug 20 2008, 08:28 PM |

QUOTE(zweimmk @ Aug 20 2008, 04:38 PM) The new 1.5L CBU Honda Jazz is priced as such: i think the new city will cost around 85k normal spec, 95k full spec...Grade V: RM 109,800.00 Grade S: RM 104,800.00 Anyone want to make an educated guess on how much the new Honda City CKD will cost here? |

Honda Jazz launched today selling Rm 104, and full spec Rm 109k
so u can imagine the price for honda city? not above 100k but not below 80k.. maybe full spec need around 95k+- look like honda civic 1.8 at 113k is a good bargain nowadays lolz |

For RM100+- range, for sure i'll go for Civic.
But in here for now at this moment, I'll go for City. City's new sporty look is simply irresistible. Man.. P/S: Any more latest shots of City from anyone, I jsut can't find one ler. |

I love it, it looks miles ahead against Vios, does not look like a total design adaptation to Jazz/Fit (in terms of interior) and best of all, it looks a bit like FCX Clarity...

Wah... Thanks guys for the new pics...
The head itself is already very impressive lar. "Must buy mode" on. Got info from a Honda sales rep, she said the the new City will arrive in Malaysia by the end of the year, December. So it probably won't be the New Honda City 2009 but is New Honda City 2008. Can't wait to test drive. |

Somehow i think the interior is rather dull. I know its a budget car for Honda. But the old City's interior was much nicer.
The meter cluster is cool tho... |

Well never mind lar.. as long it's still comfort to be sit and won't be space compact then is ok already lor. Not sure whether it will have dark color interior or not, otherwise it will be very stylish.
Bad news is, it seems like won't have the digital speed meter like the one on Civic. |

if those photos were taken from singapore, then most probably we gettting the same thing over here. since its a budgeted version, hopefully it wont hits 95k.
as long the body n engine are good, the rest can be modded beautifully, but the dashboard...sigh... |

The dashboard seems to be abit normal and similar like the others, didn't really changed it design like the exterior. And i can't see the audio control on the steering.
Is this not the V spec? But i can see the signal light on the side mirror. |

i dun like too much of silver/chrome, cos its just coating on plastic that easily visible with scratch marks and will color fade in long run. also has to be careful with the chemicals like the ambi pur, glade, etc.

Besides styling (which is great by the way), how much better is the new City to the Vios?
Remember that the Toyota Vios (Belta) was launched in Japan in 2006 (design is already 2 years old). So again, I won't expect anything less from Honda if they intend to compete. Judging from the pictures: - It has better integrated audio - 5 speed AT - Paddle shifters But nothing else significantly better than the Vios. If Honda Thailand has moved the launch to September, we could see the new City here as early as Nov. or January next year to try to hit the CNY crowd. Otherwise, the launch will happen in March of next year as originally intended. Let's see how they price the new City. This post has been edited by zweimmk: Aug 24 2008, 11:28 AM |

Haha..QUOTE(zweimmk @ Aug 24 2008, 10:37 AM) Besides styling (which is great by the way), how much better is the new City to the Vios? Well, from previous version. City's FC has always been better than Vios. Accelerate wise I'm not sure. Remember that the Toyota Vios (Belta) was launched in Japan in 2006 (design is already 2 years old).

Otherwise, the launch will happen in March of next year as originally intended. Let's see how they price the new City. Just wonder why Vios never follow the Camry design instead of follow the Yaris. Camry is cool but not Yaris. Sigh. And i still prefer the meter gauge on top of steering instead of at the center. |

QUOTE(elru @ Aug 24 2008, 09:36 AM) hmm theres a saying in chinese "suffer the bitterness first, then only to enjoy the sweetness later". so im quite happy after these years of waiting. now only wait to see the actual car, hopefully the quality wont be tat bad. maybe they will have a module kit rim as they currently have for the new Jazz.ya the rim is not really that desirable, maybe honda will provide mugen racing rim? but center panel really look plasticky and cheap. current city 1 looks cleaner and sleeker |

QUOTE(xoomie @ Aug 24 2008, 09:34 AM) When Honda Thailand launch this next month, we will get rough idea on what Honda Malaysia offering will be as normally our specs are similar to what the Thai will get.. dun think so, see the local Honda only bring in 1.5 Jazz in 2 variants only, even SG got manual and 1.3L  I think HM will do the same to City later on |

QUOTE(zweimmk @ Aug 24 2008, 10:37 AM) Besides styling (which is great by the way), how much better is the new City to the Vios? Although relatively subjective,I think alot of forumers here will add "looks" to the list of what's better.Remember that the Toyota Vios (Belta) was launched in Japan in 2006 (design is already 2 years old). So again, I won't expect anything less from Honda if they intend to compete. Judging from the pictures: - It has better integrated audio - 5 speed AT - Paddle shifters But nothing else significantly better than the Vios. If Honda Thailand has moved the launch to September, we could see the new City here as early as Nov. or January next year to try to hit the CNY crowd. Otherwise, the launch will happen in March of next year as originally intended. Let's see how they price the new City. As well as the I-vtec engine of course (120ps) |

Me too dunno how come they can found all the latest pic while i keep searching and searching also can't even find one except the spyshot at india only(so outdated).
The pics we have already see. The stylish look we already accepted. Now just left the launch and detailed specs from the www.honda.com.my only. Then we can only know the actual info. |

The pics on the blue city should be the lower spec version. I hoping Honda Mysia to bring the black interior for the premium edition of the city.
Nevertheless this looks good, honda has generated much excitement in this upcoming city in this region. |

I found the pictures shown and the model spec listed got some different....
The spec for VS model is Black sporty looking tone interior, paddle shift, 16" sport rim and etc... But the Blue color new City at picture is shown 2 tone color with biege color seats and come with paddle shift, 16' rim.... Abit confuse.... If the Metalic blue color city is SV model, then almost match the specs...but for sure the price will hit RM90K... I found the S model didnt mention any ABS and airbag... is this model going to war with Vios J spec with selling price RM70K?? Another interesting stuff.... * Luggage under of rear passenger seat I was thinking how this feature works.... Just my 2 cent~~~ This post has been edited by winlose2582: Aug 24 2008, 11:03 PM |

the shape is a little boxy, the buttons layout is a little childish (too big) and overall looks kinda dull with the silver coating makes it looks cheap. i just have to learn to love it and appreciate its beauty

Haha... Actually it's already alot better compared to "some" car's dashboard already. If we like the exterior, we have to accept the interior as well lor.
I don't think they will have any "J spec" type of option lar. Never seen one on Honda model before. They will have few option but won't lower their spec until like "J type of spec" which used normal rim covered by plastic. |

its also the first time for toyota to have 'J' option if u ask me, i think perhaps they are desperate? i dun mind the manual for honda, but not degraded until that extend.
me too also have to learn to like the dashboard...sigh... but maybe the driving experience can make up to it? but im sure it does way way better than the one im driving now hehe. |

Brush aside those cheap materials thingy in comparison to the original spec, the "J" Option will still be a good bargain for the Proton users - 70k for a Toyota instead of the 80-95k++ price tag on the new City. Who knows we might see a lot of J's on the street in the near future? Anyway, I wonder if the new City will have a bigger rear space as it's a lil bit of uncomfort to sit at the back of the current City... |

Its already way higher and wider than a Vios. The picture is sad. Like Civic wannabe. Just go ahead and buy Civic better. Old City design is way better. |

The question you should probably ask is "Who wouldn't want a civic is affordable?"It may be so obvious for people to like Civic so much but unaffordable, that's why Honda redesign the cheaper City to follow the trend and design of a Accord combined with Civic. Haha.. But anyway, it may be just me. The new Honda City looked fine for me way better than the old one. |

The space, the aircond vent position, meter console, ultra seat (this is one of the thing that I like most) and quietness. |

i hope this new city will be better in terms of sound insulation and hopes for higher build quality.
Since city is built for city driving, it must be comfortable and smooth. I do hope Honda will address this issue. Since they try to keep the cost down, I must say this is quite impossible. Nonetheless, the design is great, very radical and better from 'other' brand. Interior i prefer current ones. Steering is quite similar to civic eh? other than that good job on the paddle-shift and 5 speed gb. This post has been edited by apisgogo: Aug 27 2008, 02:41 PM |

At least i won't, cause i understand different people got different taste and others should respect on that. nope...if i wanna get a new car i will get a better oneI never ride a City before but as far as i experienced from the Vios of my friend, it's already very quiet. If what you said is true, then City seriously worth a buy. Saving FC, wide interior, quiet and now new look. Hohoho.. Yea, sure looked good but want lowered springs mer? If the car kena bump and made a kee kaa noise then the heart for sure pain already. New car ler.. Haha.. Hehe.. So pinky. planning to get one? Hehe.. Added on August 27, 2008, 3:38 pmI wonder Honda will maintain the water resistant seats or not on the upcoming City. |

isn't the paddle shift more or less means the same thing as in 7 speed mode? I know they use different gear box but the concept is still the same

yup.that will do. a decent spoiler is much more useful compare to GT...this is due to the speed comparison. less than 250km/h --> decent one, more than that..wangan style..GT,or even no spoiler.

iDSI engine hp too low, nowadays ppl prefer more responsive powerful car. but for fuel consumption i think the new 1.5 ivtec will be quite good if we look at the power and torque.

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. |

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. QUOTE(dinozilla @ Aug 30 2008, 01:46 PM) going up hill need more torque than power..... This I'm not sure, as i never drove one before yet. Hehe...

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.. This post has been edited by badguy03: Sep 1 2008, 11:21 AM |
