Actually, it's more to like the metal that we used to sharpen our knife.
With polish effect, that's Polished Metal Metallic.

Just had a look @ it yesterday. Is it just me or the quality of the car ain't up to Honda standards (comparing against the older City)?

1) Interior door handles very plastic like. Pressing the power window switch gave the cheap like feeling (even a Proton Persona is better)
2) The gaps between the door handle plastic is not neat, pressing it down gave the squeaky plastic sound.
3) Closing the doors did not gave the vacuum sound, it clunks like a proton saga door.
4) The engine is annoyingly loud from the inside.
5) The body of the car, knocking it gave a Proton Saga sound.


Note: This is my rough personal review on the Honda City 2009 E-Spec with Modulo Kit. Priced at almost Rm 90k (even though it is assembled in Melaka, Malaysia), in my humble opinion, this car ain't worth for its new looks and quality. Hope some of my questions or review can be answered to be clarified. No bashing though, just want clarification on those review points. I am not a proton fan nor toyota etc. just want a quality for the priced car.

I paid my booking today, my SA said around MARCH can get it, If last week put order maybe can get on FEB or before CNY but now cannot.
only because his showroom might be not too much order if compare to other bigger showroom, so the queue list are shorter than expected, i ask cheras showroom, he told me MAY only can get car. 6month huh?


Remember to shoot the picture of your car and show us.... so can enjoy the picture.... haha

in my thinking the quality probability might be sucks in assembled, like i said earlier...... even the test drive car assembled quality also not so good already, now honda got so many booking, sure will ask them to assemble faster ma..... then you know malaysian la (i am not saying any races here).... cincai cincai one.... hahaha but hopefully the honda malaysia can control the quality after see the feedback la.


update me as well......... im 28~


yea.... this is what we think so far, but one of my fren's dad also telling la...... his dad work as a second car field. he said he took a lot of city also having "gear box" problem, then he go to see the new city, and he found that new city also using the same thing as he mention, i don't know how true la....... anyone got problem with the gear box on old city?? isit really same gear box in new city??

I think everyone here already know the bad thing about this. i also commented on this bad thing also, haha... but also buying..... maybe "ghost close eye" la.....

old city gear box using CVT which more smooth and less sound... but it caused a lot problem and jammed...
now new city changes the gear box by using 5 gear automatic gear box... i think it should more better...
many ppl complaint the engine sound for new city... pls bear in mind it is 5 gear automatic gear box... sure noisy than 7 gear CVT gear box..

lol its an entry car, so cant expect much. hmm how bout vios or latio engine sound in comparison?

agree with some of your points there. now they have increased the production rate, im kinda worry about the quality may be degraded.
hahaha couldnt agree more

Guys, please feedback to Honda about the good/bad or your concerns on the new City here:

http://www.honda.net.my/customer-service/mm2h_contact_en.cfm

The more we put in, hopefully HM will take note and improve.

wow, list is getting longer! Those who get their car earliest must post their new car pictures here too.

actually me also very happy to see the long list

I wonder where I can get the tinting done next. What color is the best for different colors of the car?

Wow.
29... Wonder whether we can hit 30 buyers by 31/12/08..hehe!

compared to old city...only looks and stearing wheel different?

Nope. There are a host of differences ranging from engine, chassis, interior & exterior design etc.
In short, it's more or less a different car..like how the Vios Pre-07 is to the Vios Dugong

hmm actually this city is a totally new car built from scratch which is why they call it All-New City. as for dugong vios i think other than changing the body shell and add some minor tech like DBWire, its still the same car. notice the doors are the same too.

Yea.. was actually trying do a simple comparison for him. Like a different generation unlike a face lift.
