haha.. long time didnt post reply le...

btw, if honda making a lot money with this, how about current vios?

FYI, new city has new engine and transmission...

Vios? wat is the major new things? unless many choices, S,G,E and JUNK...

haha...

omg.. thx!!

hello evryone.
I have book one for my wife, E-spec, probably will choose polish metal colour.
89K is fine with me, i am expecting over 90K initially.
my only grievance is the limited colour choice, and the red hot chilli is not available in Malaysia.

do they still provide 2-year free maintenance?

sa told me only 6 months free maintainance .

near 90k for a 1.5L b segment car. It's a rip off! The funny thing is, in spite of the steep pricing, it is some how well received?!?

I just went to Honda SUbang Jaya showroom to take a peek at the car.For now,they only have the lower grade spec here which is the blue colour wan.

Selling price around RM 85k ..Overall,its ok ok only lah..THe radio dash is really ugly..dont know why they decided to make it silver colour which looks cheap.

Plastics all around look like the cheap hard plastics.Cant expect much for RM 90k

Interior is spacious and driver position is good.

Meter and dials,and the signal stick looks cheap.Proton and Perodua ones look nicer.

So far no test drive avalable yet.

If you book now,only can get the car in MArch cause batches for Jan and Feb all sold out.

But i would rather pay slightly more to get a 2.0 Lancer.For RM 90k this Honda City is not worth it.

They will only be such offer when they hav cleared the backlog and stock starts pile.. like the Civic.

Just test drove the car at Millenium Auto!!

First Impressions:
1. Definitely nicer than in the photos
2. Somehow the Malaysian Modulo looks kinda weird.. or maybe it's just me (test drive unit is with Modulo)
3. Too plasticky IMHO..for the S spec. E is still bearable with some chrome trim and fabric on the sides (imagine Satria Neo's plastic feel)
4. Car is still new... haven't burn in.. so can't really tell much.. smooth ride I can say.. haha
5. Paddle shift is cool and you guys are right... the indicator is next to the Fuel Indicator "E"
6. Cabin noise is minimal.. but I wasn't driving an old city before.. can't compare. I find it.. pleasant and bearable
7. Last but not least.. no regrets lar.. haha

how the cabin noise? sound insulation? is the ride comfort?

E spec City pricing at RM89,980 should put it in a very competitive position against the Vios S. In fact, at this price - the Vios S would probably be in a very bad competing position considering that the car is lacking in almost every way against the E spec City. The same goes with the Vios G spec if the S spec City is priced at 86k.

However, I don't expect Toyota to take a beat down without some form of retaliation soon particularly since CNY is just around the corner and that usually means huge discounts to counter this sales threat. The other issue is there's no answer from Honda to counter against the E or J Vios model which is grabbing a huge piece of the pie.

It's good to be a potential car buyer right now

anyone knows which showroom in KL area have a polished metal metallic city for viewing?

i dont think theres any so far. most of the showrooms received 2 colors as seen on the trailer truck the other day, blue and black.

lol the power of dream. why not if its has so much to offer with slightly reasonable price. i was expecting it would be more than 90k for the base price of spec E. seriously i felt really happy and relief that the base price is lower than 90k.

agreed that the pricing is ok, as this will also make sure that the 2nd hand value of the 3rd generation city will not be affected.

Anyone want to comment whether the polish metal metallic is a ok colour as it looks a it dull in the picture posted earlier.

or is that just bad photograpy?


Attached thumbnail(s)

seen the new city with the full modulo bodykit....and also with the modulo sport rim...like the jazz...looks nice...
but sad to say dunno how much is the price for it yet...

The honda city is having it launch in msia today right?

Anyone know where can view it ( shopping malls? convention centres? )

Just went to see the New City The interior i still prefer old City..

Well i think toyota will gonna counter this by giving more massive discounts. They been already doing this ever since the new vios was launched a yr back.

U can get S spec vios for a G spec price.

they are launching it at the mandarin oriental hotel...
at today 11 something...
so after that...all the honda showroom for the new city price tag will
be up on the board ...hehe

PJ, jalan 222 honda showroom have P.M.M colour for showing..
