what are the improvement of the incoming facelift civic?
*
foglights changes (from the current dunno what shape to small round ones like the one in Jazz)
taillights changes (no longer round, but more like octagon)
grill change (like Stream grill)
new bumper with "garang look now"
K20Z motor peaks earlier now 155hp @ 6,000 (current one: 155hp @ 6,500)

u guys know?
when u switch on the city headlight at night
the shape of the headlamp is 80% same like the headlight design in acura TSX
*
Not surprising to see that the City has headlights more or less the same as the Acura TSX/Accord Euro. Both cars is produced by Honda and therefore design cues sharing is expected.

today i went for test drive again, but now at damansara Honda showroom.. today i 'lanyak' the city like it belongs to nobody.. and i can say my vios J is far more powerful. I'm not trying to be bias, since i also order the city, but seriously, the city pickup is so poor compared to vios... and that's with my vios with has full bodykit and 17" rim..

but no doubt, the only good thing about the city is the look. exterior and interior. exterior city is way better than vios. for the interior in terms of quality is the same, but City is more elegant and modern, while vios is classy and simple.

i've make a deal with my gf, once i get the city, she'll use my vios and i gonna use the city tongue.gif her CPS.. ermmm stay in garage laa..

and i cant see the advantage of technical specs.. 120ps vs 109ps..  the performance of engine is not just bcoz of ps.. or torque.. there's a lot of other things contribute to smoother and powerful drive. just look at last time amd 64 x2 vs pentium D .. low clockspeed vs high clockspeed.. but intel pentium D is much slower than the amd 64 x2..  biggrin.gif

and with vios J priced at 73k, u can buy a pioneer touch screen radio with mp3, usb, for around rm3k++ , ur own choice of rims for about rm3k.. total rm76k..

but tbh, with city at 84-89k, the only worthy vios to buy is the J spec biggrin.gif

your Vios got how many km edi?
New cars usually still "tight" so it can't give out 100% of what it has.

Furthermore, you're comparing a loaded City with a "tin kosong" Vios. So, pick up of coz Vios gonna be better since weight matters.

haha.. i just got my vios last friday. 1 week already. and i just drove it for 256km, since i also have one 318i. the city i test drove just now the km more than 400km.  tongue.gif

yes vios is tin kosong.. and city is fully loaded.. armoured car. so cant compare..

but wut the heck people comparing 73k priced car vs 84k car.

tak malu ke honda people try to lower down their level to much cheaper price car?

let's talk bout brand new city 84k vs bmw e46 318i year 2000 (around 80k) .. or vs 2006 ford focus 2.0 (also around 80k) ..  thumbup.gif

i order city bcoz i like its look. but it's not just me to condemn other car bcoz i think my car is the best ..

owh forgot that i gonna have both car next year tongue.gif

PMM is more like a "natural metal" colour, only shinier.
Hence the name "Polished Metal Metallic"

someone mentioned previous CVT 7-speed save more petrol?? is it true,


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.

QUOTE
i heard some other peoples said the previous 1 is fake 7-speed biggrin.gif so the new city 5-speed should save more petrol compare to previous CVT 7-speed

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

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.
