QUOTE(Steven2916 @ Dec 20 2008, 11:05 AM)
Added on December 20, 2008, 11:16 amI test drove new City yesterday. Got the nice 20 pages colourful booklet brochure and got free food too. Pick up is good and engine is very quiet and powerful. SA told me if I book now, I can only get the car in April next year. Interest rate now for car loan is 2.98%. The new City is more spacious inside now. Exterior is bigger too and it looks and feels like a higher premium car. Side looks like Civic, it is just slightly smaller than Civic. Compared to the previous generation City, this new City looks nicer, sleeker, sportier and more stylish. It is also bigger. This forum is for Honda fans to talk about the new City. If there are people who want to criticize the new City, please don't come into this forum. Please go to other motoring forums. Eyan1982 should not be allowed to post his comments in this forum. Maybe he is a diehard Vios fan. Just read his comments about the new City. All baseless and ridiculous! Agreed? Why you want to block people to post their comments about the bad side of the new city?? i am not sure what were you thinking, but if i am you, i will take the bad thing as a note..... so when you get your CITY, you need to double make sure is the thing bother you in future. As we said, we are not critirize the city, only when we test.... we saw something that might not proper made or anything.... what i can tell you is... Exterior is all best with no complaints. Interior just a bit too plastic... not only us talking, even the international reviewer said that. I am also City fans.... you think i love to critic one of my favorite car? haha.... i just want to share our feeling about this car... thats all. No intention to offense city fans. |

I think the lousy-ness of the Gen2 was not so much of the plastic inside, but it's overall built quality with encompass alot of things. Correct, there might be alot of plastic being used in the City.. but I don't believe the overall package is of that of the Gen2. It's absurd. Perhaps they've channeled the "cost" of the RM85k - RM90k to the development of the new engine and design. So, give and take a lil This post has been edited by sysh: Dec 20 2008, 06:34 PM |

the previous city has superb interior yet nobody praise it other than criticize how ugly its exterior looks. so honda fixed the exterior, upgrade the technology, offer lots of class leading features while trying to balance out the interior, yes interior quality is not as good but hey, what can you expect more from 90k car? yet ppl complaining again. i suppose its human nature trying to find fault for almost anything huh? for those who wants the perfect car, perhaps they can go for BMW, it looks great on the outside, heck they even allow interior customization too, to one's heart content.

as long you pay for it, you can complain to honda...u dont like it, u dont buy it.. hehehe..
Most people are excited with the exterior look from the 1st day they saw the picture over the internet.
Last time, many people buy it because of the interior, the fuel saving of the IDSI engine, now, it's simple...love at the 1st sight.. u can't simply forget it.. hahaha...
btw, i test drive it yesterday... so cool car.. but it'd be cooler if i can afford civic...
well, in malaysia, if you want to have beautiful car with perfection, you need to spend more than 100K... less than that, you get what you can afford to pay... blame the excise duty... hahaha...
in Thailand it cost you about 65K only for the E spec... but you can't drive since the protester would hit your car...hehe

QUOTE(Bliz @ Dec 20 2008, 04:06 PM) What i am trying to imply is that the pricing is controlled by HM not excise duty as claimed  agree with u bro. aside from the duty, the manufacturer also control the pricing. QUOTE The Honda City is manufactured in Malaysia, with 30% of the parts sourced locally, including the seats and instrument panel, while the rest are from Japan. SourceI wonder why, although this new city 30% of its parts are locally sourced, but the price still around the Toyota Dugong CBU from Thailand. same situation when compare the Civic's price with Altis CBU Thailand, and Lancer CBU Japan. Nway, today manage to pay a visit at the Honda showroom, my 1st impression the exterior really2 cun  the interior okla. |
