Based on my observation for the NHC on highway.

- It's got adequete power and good acceleration
- It looks very nice in the rearview mirror (front) but not so nice when you view it from the back.
- It's got a nice side profile as well
- It seems a little wobbly when passing buses and lorries.
- Doing 150km/hr isn't a problem, just can't imagine that it would be very comfortable at that speed though
- Drivers are all S spec

Saw 1 ASM and it happens that we're going to the same place therefore I had around 20 minutes to observe.

First of all IMO the color doesn't really stand out. Secondly I agree with zweimmk that the car is a bit wobbly like wiggling but the speed of the car is around 100 ~ 110 km/h only. I mean it doesn't look rock solid and stable somehow WAJA look more solid and stable.

Third thing is it looks nice from the front but the rear is rather small in width (didn't felt this in showroom). Again if compare with WAJA somehow WAJA look bigger in width don't know because of the design or what.

Fourth comparison is between BMW 3 series and NHC. I saw them side by side from rear view and it's 90% the same while BMW 3 series having more elegant and soft designed lines and NHC is rather hard and sharp designed lines.

Guys please don't flame me or pinpointing about WAJA I'm just simply taking a car as an example no offence.

Earlier in the forum someone recommended T-Rex(steering lock with an alarm).
I might buy one of this. A little bit pricey but looks promising. Will get more info before purchase one.
Probably it wont be as good as the captor but it is transferable and does not require wiring installation. On top of that this
T-Rex might solve our "muted" alarm problem.!

W.ROOK, how much is the T-Rex again? I had just watch the video it seems reliable my only comment is the LCD display and the sound is rather childish alike like gaming sound doh.gif I'm not sure how loud is the 120db sound though but it certainly doesn't sound like an alarm.

Anyone here driving CBP always park at Damansara Perdana? I often see it from my company (5th floor Ritze Perdana Business Centre).

Wow I found their website is far more interesting than ours! It gave such a great impression to the car especially the video making you so tempting about the car! rclxm9.gif Anyway they highlight quite a lot of point on the NHC but at the same time those are the point that you guys complain about. The add on section also provide a lot of accessories which is really interesting and worth checking out! I think you guys should check out the website here http://city.honda.com.au/default.aspx.

Drive every drop
The 5-speed automatic City uses just 6.6 litres of fuel per 100 km, the manual just 6.3.* So you can drive past your local servo a lot more often. Sweet as. *The fuel consumption figure is based on ADR81/02 combined test results for City manual transmission.

Kick back with cruise control
It's a big country. Cruise control makes it a lot easier to get around. It takes the strain out of highway driving and can even boost your fuel economy on the open road. The steering wheel-mounted controls are right at your fingertips too.

Newly designed suspension
The City’s chassis, including its newly designed H-beam rear suspension, brings together the best combination of urban driving agility and higher speed stability. It’s responsive and smooth, even when you push it hard.

You know that feels good
Our engineers call it "holding ability". It's that comfortable, supportive and secure feeling of the City’s seats. You’ll want them in your lounge room, too.

Cool things off fast
The City’s standard air conditioning system includes vents in the rear seat floor area. Its quiet, high-volume performance cools everyone down fast.

Optimally placed speakers
The City's four speakers are tuned especially for the acoustic conditions of the cabin space. In other words, they sound great.

Hear the music, not the noise
With City's floor and roof sound insulation, as well as the noise-damping materials between you and the engine, it’s just you and your music inside.

Seatbelts that think fast
The City features 3-point (lap/sash) belts on all 5 seats. Plus, the front seats are equipped with a pre-tensioner system that tightens the belts when a strong frontal impact is detected.

Me.. I changed alloy pedal... At RM100, at Honda Jalan 222.

I now just thinking to change rim.. but expensive

Actually what is the different between alloy pedal and the original rubber pedal? I know design is obviously different but other than design? Feel? Any advantage on changing besides looking shinny?

Today lunch time I saw one CBP (the one I mentioned before) and one PMM parking at the same row at Damansara Perdana. Anyone here?
