So far i got only one comment on new city, the leather gearknob missing for E spec, HM what are u doing? The gearknob looks very cheap also, i like old version city's gearknob with city wording on top of it, don't know whether that going to fit new city or not, if can i dont mine buying it and get it replace.

Other things such as door visor, sport pedal, side step garnish and trunk tray are good to have it but it is too costly. I think side step garnish and trunk tray u cant easily find this two outside, may be we can do a group purchase to bring the price down, what do u think? If buy it direct from thailand, would it be cheaper?

hey im interested in the group purchase too, count me in

I'm just suggesting, i cant be group purchase leader coz i dont know where to get those things

...as said before, no car can truly satisfy an individual. After all the EXCITEMENT in the City, every nook and cranny of the car would be scrutinized and anything out of placed will get bashed ranging from cheap plastics, can-hear-gear change 'cos no CVT, gaps in the console, why do we make the boot so big, reduce legroom? save for the 'defects' that may arise in earlier models, countless research and millions of dollars have been put into the development of the car. A big car manufacturer like Honda, Toyota etc wouldn't just build a car for the sake of building one..would it?

But to me, as long as the pros outweighs the cons.. I'm fine. Again, preference is up to the individual. If you're unhappy with the car, complain to HM (in their survey or write to them). Maybe they will give you their proper reason for building the car this way. If you're still not satisfied, well.. there are alot of cars in the market.

I do agree that the price is rather steep compared to the Vios, I for one am willing to pay the premium for a new shape. Just hope the niggling problems will be ironed out once I get my car (should be at least the 3rd batch since I couldn't make up my mind between specs a few wks ago )

P/s: If anybody else finds potential defects on the car, would be great if they can flag it out so we can always check whether it is truly a defect, or a design oversight. thanks for the feedback so far, will scrutinise my car when i receive it

mmm understood~ haha. if theres any plan of doing so, remember to count me in ya, thanks!

Yes, that's my Accord.
Please don't address me as master. Hehe...

haha ok

yo bro... master eh?

Certainly not me. I'm not a master.

haha...jk.... i need to go now, just a short viewing here.... catch u around

Haha, see you. So are you a new City owner?

Wow so many pages already! Couldn't join the exictment cause very busy with work and even Saturdays also
have to work. Closing account so there is alot of catch up to do.


Looks like many ppl don't like the New City after test drive huh? I will reserve my comment until I test drive the car.

But as Sysh said it is impossible to build a perfect car that can satisfy everyone.
Cars build for mass market and if you want that can satisy in all aspects than you have to build your own.

IMHO they should not increase the price of their car, if accord can be priced the same as the previous version, why not city/jazz?

sometimes....price is not decide by them....
especially when thing comes to excise duty....

The duty is the same, just the base price of the car has gone up. That's why the car is more pricy, if they can price Accord the same as previous version and having more tools, why can't they do it with city/jazz? I am seriously puzzled, look at Civic, price almost same as previous version also

They priced Accord the same because the previous Accord is losing sales to fierce rival - Camry. Now they try to win back the customers. That's why.

What i am trying to imply is that the pricing is controlled by HM not excise duty as claimed

It's all about the Economics.
The Law of Demand and Supply.
You see now at RM85k and RM90k, there are still heaps of ppl buying it and eroding the Vios market, why not? Maybe they can drop their price a bit.. but to what extend? They're not fighting for a piece of the Waja market, they're competing on the Vios and Latio market which I feel that they're priced themselves well in
