Eh, don't quote me lah. I didn't compare them what.

Do also bear in mind that there'll be a new facelifted Civic in a couple of months. Was informed of this by my SA... They also expect the price to go up in the range of RM3-5k, based on previous experience.

i drive my baby at that time was 70to 80km/h in bz street..(consider very dangerous)
But the blue city i think he/she drove more then me..overtake a few cars infront of me..u can imagine how fast n crazy the speed he/she drove..

Thanks, no problem. Whenever you are free, just post them up.
Btw.. are the Crystalline 60 legal by the standards of JPJ? I thought the rule of thumb is VLT 70, but is the 60 alright?
At this point in time, still shopping around for the best deals. Thinking for the time being, PPS or the 3M Scotchgard for the front bumper and lights to avoid stone chips and scratches.

Rim size, unless you're going to get 17" lightweight japanese rims.. I suggest the standard 16" is more than sufficient.
The car was designed to use 16" rims at this optimum performance, anything bigger or small might cause some strain to the EPS.
Your speedometer might not be reading accurately also.

In terms of the "top up", it's actually quite alot.
City E-Spec >> RM89,980
Civic 1.8S >> RM113,800

Difference >> RM23,820 <----- That's not a little "top up"

Even if you spend like RM10,000 on accessories on your City E-Spec, that's still RM13,820 top up.
Unless you have that much money to spend.. you might need to re-think which car you want to buy.
Both cars will seat 5 passengers comfortably. But in terms of performance, of course the Civic is better.. but is it worth it? that's up to you to decide.

Hi! I like to know the 1st page; Polished metal model's front look different. How and where can i get/modify my car like that (only front, not the bumper)
help and pls recommended

Not the bodykit (ie. front skirting) at the bumper right..so u are referring to the Modulo grille?
Well..tat has not been launched in Malaysia, unfortunately.
Thought wait a while..a couple of months, and those accessories shop will start selling those Modulo bodykits and the grille too

I dun what you call in english .. you called that front skirting, right? With the HONDA [H] in the front.
So must wait for months? Those accessories shop selling this skirting is original or immitation one..? what material is that? chrome? or just plastic with shiny chrome.. sorry ya, i'm a lady. so not quite familiar with car's accessories language .. like skirting, bumper.. griille .. somemore.

lady with PMM city?

lady with CBP

Hmm.. Lady with PMM CBP City. Can my Man's PMM City tackle your Lady's PMM CBP City?

btw, i get 1k discount. is that good enough? want to request full tank petrol le.. all ppl getting full tank from their sa

Wahlao! 1k discount! That's GREAT! I haven't get my car yet, but I gonna request RM1k or more discount + tinting discount Better more if I could get 1 full tank of petrol. Gonna squeeze my SA.

lolz...maybe people 1st time get a car/ a honda...just let him wana race...he only spoiling his own car....enjoy ur new baby until is fully break in....drive safely..xD...

I forgotten to tell you our family buy 3 city together. so that's why we got 1k discount but i still think it's not good enough .. must kacau kacau the SA for more benefits ..

1k??? tat is a lot.... i dun hav full tank from my sa...

Yup. If bought 3together from a same SA, he/she should give more discounts or benefits. Try to get tinting discounts and full tank of petrol for 3cars. He still earn alot of selling 3cars together and maybe hit his/her monthly target.

Yeah baby, squeeze!! squeeze!!

he offer rm1k for tinting (to blacken the car mirror using spray type???)
2400 for leather seats

what u guys think?

where did u book ur car?

I believe one forummer was offered a huge discount to the tune of 8.5k for the new Altis 1.6E. If you ask me, that's a fantastic deal and I would definitely take the Altis over the City anytime. Otherwise, both car are at different price leagues.

All the drawbacks you mentioned for the Altis aren't much of an issue:

1. Less power - but both City and Altis 1.6E only hit peak at 6k RPM , at that speed, you're travelling around 180km/hr or so. So it's true, the City has a higher top speed, but at that speed both cars wouldn't be stable to drive either way. Torque is rated to be the same for both cars but the advantage still goes to the City because it's a lighter car.

2. No paddle shift - I have sequential shift in the 1.8G version and I don't even use it. Nice to have but otherwise, doesn't really add much overall value. Still, it's nice to find it on an entry level car like the City, so Honda should be commended.

3. No 5 speed AT - Doesn't matter, the car has really good FC - after driving 530km on both City and Highway setting, there's at least 8 to 10L left of petrol in the tank. Getting 600km doesn't pose a problem either.

What kind of tinting did your SA offer to you?
It won't be the spray type..that's not even tinting..hehe!
I think the most important thing is not how much tinting discount he can offer you, but what is the amount that you have to pay at the end of the day? Cos you know, they can jack up the price astronomically..but in actual fact..the 'real' price is lower..
eg.
V-Kool : RM2,000 - RM1,000 (Discount) : RM1,000 (Good deal)
V-Kool : RM2,800 (Jacked-up price) - RM1,000 (Discount) : RM1,800 (Rip off)

I think RM2,400 for leather seats is okay.
But I won't put that.. IMHO, the black water repellent seats are good, wasted if you don't use it
