———————————
serious? no more import tax, then i can finally get that maserati granturismo s

price for miri, sarawak.

S-RM 85,480
E-RM 90,480

at the time being only modulo skirting for side, front n back.. no front grill.

Nice ^_^
the engine is very small, i’m 178cm sitting in there still have some room.

E diff with S is the steering, rim, electrical flip side mirror, adjustable back seat.. this is the major things that i found out at the time being.

then engine is so silent that you barely can hear the car is running.

car boot is so spacious.

the design for the ipod socket isnot behind the lcd screen. they put the player behind the lcd screen. the socket is just infront of the gear level. ^_^

a pretty neat n nice car to buy. im still 30k short on my down payment… need to work hard for it kekeke..

–not stuck in an argument. care to read again properly? i m asking only. hahaha…..’japanese wannabe’? i preferred German or Italian or even British cars.

How can this car affect Vios sales? Look at how many of the new Vios and Altis are on the road despite ppl saying both are shyt cars..

This new Honda City will affect the vios sales like a ant bite..It wont even get close to Vios sales.

Besides,its selling price at RM 90k for a 1500cc car just doesnt make sense..

I am not going to go into looks because its subjective.,but to me,it is as ugly as the Vios.So Toyota will win hands down on brand power.

The only ppl who will buy City are the young chikos.

———————————————————-

Look the only way City could beat Vios in sales is INCREASE THEIR PRODUCTIVITY CAPACITY from 800units/mth to VIOS’s 4,000 unitp/mth.
CITY shd also appeal to VIOS’s favourite client ..LADIES & UNCLES.
CITY shd target also the FOLLOWER group..not just great leaders.

As said thare is always 1 leader (City’s owner) to a group of merely FOLLOWERS (Viosie). I’m always leader not a follower.

Just to say VIOS only appeal to gentle gender ..ladies, girls & conservatove group..UNCLE, Grandad….& of course young green schoolboy.

hello mate, i didn’t mix with the complaints but u r the one who did so as mentioned it earlier. i was just asking u only or how to sum up that honda is no good.
————————————————————–

Sighs… tec..tec..
Stuck in an argument again? unsatisfied when somebody says japanese car inferior from local ones? you say this… i say that… never ends.

Lets just call you typical ‘japanese wannabe’ this time? Or you name it since this is your line of work.

Regarding the new City…. nice looking car. Will personally test drive it next week.

Hiya Guys…the side step or some call it door step is an optional accesory lah..originally the car came without. We buy it at Brothers cheap thus it cause rust on the cheap aluminium step upon expose to water. Its the side step that rust not the car. Especially ‘chekai’ brand ..not Honda made.

“guys.. my friend own a honda city vtec year 2007 where it’s door step got rusty. He been told that malaysia made Honda doesn’t put undercoat at interior. My wife 2005 gen2 still no rust from day 1 to date. Is it Proton cars better than Honda nowadays? or the local is degrading Honda quality as hell as it’s image? any honda engineers can answer?”

–hello mate, i didn’t mix with the complaints but u r the one who did so as mentioned it earlier. i was just asking u only or how to sum up that honda is no good.

[i m wondering how would u said it if u were to hear 4 of my friends who own honda city year 2005 2006 2007 2008 respectively said so far so good compared to my friends who own gen2’s and persona’s complained few times. don’t know whether ur friend understand the undercoat application to a car or not? what i can say is that u just dislike honda in malaysia aren’t u?]

Sir, complaint i address here is about paint work. don’t mix with other complaint. yes i don’t know how the undercoat work but in principal if 1 coat is missing means that protection level is low. isn’t it? the raw mat easily to expose and get rusty. i dont know whether local made honda’s color coat and shining coat is durable enough. I respect Honda for giving high satisfaction for customer to own a good design product but not local management who pasang the honda’s. they all barking with no responsible to their employee at all.

oh ya…many were pleaased that the interior quality is better off then the Vios except for the 3 air cond dials.

Try google…many of this gave good remarks for the interior which is better then Vios, definately.

Sir. Maybe people have reason why the call it pampers. If that thing is to protect dings and dent, why the more important area is not covered. look to door panels, rear pillar. i think dent and dings on steel panel is more difficult to be repaired since it need to be ‘ketuk” tarik simen repaint etc. why bother only bumper? only typical idiot motorhead in Honda do this i guess.

Typical idiot motorheads who don’t know what are they talking about.

By the way, don’t your hopes too high. I thought the plastics in a Vios is bad. Wait till you see the ones in the City. Surprised that not much comments on these from Thai and Singaporean users.

Those flimsily plastic panel that dislocates themselves, missing side-sill for the doors, anytime-will-break paddle shift etc. Please learn from mistake. (A bit late ehh? Since it’s already being transported)

The exterior of any Honda car, regardless it’s an Accord, Civic or City, always stand out from its competitor in terms of design and concept. However the interior material and quality are really disappointing.

A sharing from a City owner, its ABS has been changed 4 times still engineers couldn’t resolve the issue. Me myself, with people I know who own a Civic, have issue with the front suspension, that makes cracking sound every time you run on an uneven road or a sharp corner. Do not know anyone who owns a new Accord, so hardly tell how’s the quality. Look at the price and its direct competitor, the Camry, I believe it doesn’t suffer this much of issue.

Ehh now it reminds me, Paul didn’t do a review on the new Accord did he? Those soon-to-be owners please write in your feedback share us the experience.

Launching date is at the corner, think it’s time to act again. By the way to those who are interested to test drive or consider a new ride, for your maximum pleasure, if possible no seluar pendek no sandal. Sometimes car quality defines its employees too. Wahahaha…

this car will pawn them heavily.

wearing pampers?
————————————
I suspect the bumper paint quality is low due to cost saving. It might easy to peel off or chip when hit by stone. that’s why it covered with such thing like pampers. I never see any maker transport their car like this. another cheap quality from honda by damn local management? i guess.

last time during launching of jazz oso they kept inside the service centre before launching. So we can see it easily.

for the time being.. honda must put the real ‘right price’ ..
most peoples are really care about their budget now..
