I wanted to test it also. At least the 5speed auto-gearbox should give a better kick than old city VTEC kua.
Whenever I rev my mom VTEC City, with the CVT, really like dun feel the kick lor. I think no need rev till 7k la. Max torque at 6600rpm ma if you see City catalogue. The older one, I dont even bother rev past 6000rpm.

Sure...Will be nice to join in the list...

Can't wait to be part of the list here

fu-yohh!!! mission accomplished! 30 buyers before 31 dec 08.

y u wana delay?

eh 16 inch will also eat more petrol right ?

power will reduce ?

just back frm hometown mlk , n got chance to test drive this new city at mlk showroom, my opinion sure is better than i'm driving now WAJA, since mani ppl said underpower but for 4 me is good enuff!!

the SA told me 5400rpm the iVtec opens, dont know how true it is, cause never get to test

someone mentioned previous CVT 7-speed save more petrol?? is it true, i heard some other peoples said the previous 1 is fake 7-speed so the new city 5-speed should save more petrol compare to previous CVT 7-speed

Not Bashing stuff rite

Point 3- That's not true.

Point 4- Did you test drive the car? and also have you tried Vios as well?

Point 5- Have you tried to knock a Toyota Harrier body before? Don't go far, try MyVi or even Kelisa as well.

Pls do give feedback , TQ

If not mistaken cvt is more batter i think.

cvt is mean for smooth gear changing...

on fuel i think should be batter because they break the gear ration to have lesser gap between the gear.

correct me if i am wrong....

It is true, since CVT offers almost infinite gear ratio. As a result, the gear ratio will be adjusted according to the engine rotation and thus provides the optimum power without compromising fuel consumption.

lol wad?
Malaysian mentality... Just because they can't "feel the gear change" they said it's a fake 7 speeder. CVTs changes gears seamlessly and one might not be able notice it, even during heavy acceleration.

about auto lock isuue, it is HM provide the additional installation or we need go outside shop install the auto lock, coz my sister's Toyata Altis is direct install frm Toyota , tqs for help!

icetea's comments about the new Honda City is uncalled for and is tantamount to bashing the City. icetea, are you a Toyota or Proton diehard supporter? Please don't make baseless comments in this forum.
Point 1: Not true. Interior door handle and power window switch are all right and have better quality than Proton Persona.
Point 2: Not true. There is no squeaky sound when you press it down
Point 3. Not true. How can you compare Honda City door closing sound
with Proton Saga door closing sound? City's doors close with a solid sound while Saga's doors close with a hollow sound.
Point 4. Not true. Have you test driven the City? I have and when I drive it, I cannot hear the engine sound from the inside. The only sound I can hear is the tyre sound moving on the road.
Point 5. Not true. Please knock on the body of the Saga and you will hear a hollow sound. Knock on the body of the City and you can hear a hard solid sound. Please don't compare Honda City with Proton Saga. Don't compare an orange with an apple because they are both very different and are in different categories. The same goes for Honda and Proton. There is no comparison between Honda and Proton or in this case there is no comparision between Honda City and Proton Saga. How can you compare a 1.5 RM85K car with a 1.3 RM31K car? Please don't be ridiculous, icetea!

Added on December 29, 2008, 10:04 pmCan we ask Honda to install the autolock feature in the new City and pay them? I wonder what is the cost of installing the autolock feature at Honda. Hopefully it is not too expensive.

Err, Steven, actually the City and Saga is in the same category, B segment sedan. Just that the pricing level is different only.

Blame our F**Ked up car policy system for the usual B segment vs C segment scenario.

Yeah, I have pressed Myvi's body. The metal sinks in and then goes back to normal. Same goes to Saga. On the other hand, I tried to press my 2005 Honda City i-DSI's door very hard and guess what? The metal cannot sink in. It just remains as it is. Shows that the body is tough and solid. icetea is not welcome to give his baseless comments about the new Honda City in this respected forum. I really don't like Proton cars. Now you can get a Saga on the spot. Ready stock. What does this show? I don't have to tell you all. You can figure out for yourself. Proton sales are badly hit by the economic slowdown. On the other hand, there have been more than 3,000 bookings for new City. Is it true that there have been cancellations for the Vios?

Added on December 29, 2008, 10:16 pmYep, you are right. Our ridiculous car tax structure is to be blamed for all these.

Yep. Very fast indeed. Haha!
Now we can do countdown on who gets the City first!

Added on December 29, 2008, 10:46 pmVery minimal not really noticable. When the cars are designed etc, Honda would've calculated the best setup to ensure that both Specs are equal in terms of performance

Added on December 29, 2008, 10:48 pmHmm, 5400 rpm.. Okay la, will try to verify that claim the next time I test driv..hehe!

i was amazed to see such beauty on city, real drool! yet, being a year 2006 city idsi owner before, the 2009 city seems slightly underpower though. couldn't explain y...reaction seemed 'slower' despite being i-vtec...still, it has substance & stlye over vios imo...congrats to u lucky soon-to-be city fellas!

yes, modulo grille looks very nice. but , unfortunately, our HM city does have that. i have booked the car. ASM colour. 1.5 e. the sales man said , i can receive my car on April next year. what a long, long waiting list.

You're # 31! Woohoo
Never mind, it's a long wait for all of us.
I'm kickin' myself for booking the S-Spec first. Should have just put E-Spec in the first place. Now got 2 months extra waiting period

cos $ka-ching$ got stuck nvm la, maybe till tat time got diff offer or lower hire purchase rate...im so going to miss out the gov rebate...

its not the average 16" cos this one is optimized for best FC which explains the irregular tire size. perhaps lighter which is almost on par to the 15".


same same im very satisfy with the car. although 90k to me is good deal compared to vios but surprisingly friends around me being skeptical about the expansive price tag than vios. i thought many would want to buy it, but it seems im the only one in my circle of friends...

hmm its very rare for ppl to rev their engine exceeding 5k rpm, unless those heavy footers like to drag from first gear. normally the average range of highly rev is about 3k to 4k. besides, its 5 gears transmission so it should have even smaller gear ratio between gears rite? goreng...correct me if im wrong!

hmm according to my SA, HM prefer to keep the original styling of the optimus prime grille which is why they didnt bring in the modulo grille. its something like an identity or image to the All-New City.
