Lolz... Proton Gen 2 Campro... I still remember how long they need to catch up with old City VTEC... And just be fair, 1.6 to 1.6 DOHC, you will see how "good" is the Campro vs B16.

And to be fair again, not to bash.. Proton improved a lot over decades... But still there are many people so over happy about their Campro, or even CPS they said as if it is "Proton VTEC"... It is improvement, but not really that far yet.

And go and see paultan forum, haha... I actually notice the real losers are those Dugong Vios... Saying that their godly VVT-i DOHC will win in terms of power, handling, performance... Even VTEC, CPS, Vario Cam all are shits for them.. Lolz
*
hmm but i heard its really petrol guzzling for campro + cps. anyway back to topic, i noticed the new city odometer show maximum speed of 220, but in real life does anyone knows the top speed of the new city?

I do hope so.
Wanna try to sell off my old car first.
But don't wanna be without a car whilst waiting for the City. 3 months is waaay too long (too excited also..hehe!)

I guess the % will depend on
a) loan amount
b) tenure

How many years are you guys taking? and how much? if I might ask...
My SA recommended Public Bank... I'm taking quite a rather loan amount (and tenure) 'cos I don't want to pay so much interest..
*
me too! im intended to loan 40k for 3 years. hopefully till then the interest are lower.

Vtec like any other engine performs normally when accelerating, but when u floor it, thats where the power kicks in, hence the engine's beautiful roar too.

btw, i cant see whats the big deal if this new iVtec is underpower, its programmed for better fuel economy. didnt see ppl complains its under power when engage to S mode (spec E). if wan power so much, do yourself a favor, go buy gen2 and praise yourself.

for me is the almost the same too. for this type of car, not much concern in power lar... it's 1.5cc only. i believe this city can easily beat the vvti dugong anytime lar.
even myvi my fren told me quite power also 1.3cc. i drive accord 2.0 also power so so only. unless u really tekan the pedal then u will feel the speed but the engine sound disturbing.


Added on December 21, 2008, 3:47 pm

maybe plus the tax bla bla bla. btw, the retail price really Rm 700. izzit okay juz take the trunk spoiler? i would like to know about the door step and alloy pedal price also.
*
for me when i get the car ard august, i'll leave it at stock first, until the third party ah beng shop has it, whole lot cheaper. im not in a rush anyway, still can go for HM if price no diff. except for the step door, it involves electricity...it would be better if it comes in orange light.

actually its a pretty balance car for this new city. honda could had tuned it more aggressive (full time "S"uicide mode, its all about the programing) but prefer to stick to economy drive. its ivtec, supposed to inherit vtec's power and idsi's fuel efficiency or so to say.

Yep. And this is just from LYN. Wonder how many more from ZTH.
Looks like nobody has chose the Deep Lapis Blue (DLB). I thought it was quite nice. One of my 3 choices. PMM / Silver / DLB (depending on whether I can get by car End-March or not
*
going for the b4 end march discount eh hehe. i must admit too, DLB is also in my list of color choices other than PMM and Black. if were to choose DLB sure will one of the very unique color city on the road. cant wait to see any of em on the road.

is this true?

as far as i know the modulo HM offers are very expensive. but u can ask for cheaper ones from ur dealer as it has its own supplier for it without going thru HM. but for now...not sure other than HM, the rest has it or not.
