We guessed so last month, and now Honda Malaysia has launched a special edition Honda City, the “2011 Honda City 3rd Generation Special Edition”, to give it its full name as per press release. Just 500 units of this City SE will be made available.
No mechanical changes, just aesthetics. The SE gets a full Modulo aero kit set that includes a front under spoiler, side under spoiler, rear under spoiler and duck tail spoiler. Besides those, SE owners get to choose a special number between 001 to 500 for their car. This number is then engraved on the door sill plate (side step), like ‘City SE 001’ for example. SE numbers will be obtained upon registration of the car.
Additionally, City SEs will come with “advanced nanotechnology solar control film” for all screens and windows. Available only in Polished Metal or Tafetta White, the City Special Edition is priced at RM92,890, which is RM2,500 more than the standard car. Honda Malaysia points out that the add-ons are worth over RM6,000, so you’re getting a good deal.
You can check out the City SE at any Honda dealer from now.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Sure this car can beat Myvi Extreme …
Of coz can lar, but when what you want is a lil more headroom space and lower maintenance costs, I’d take the MyVi Extreme.. manual.
lulzzz u fap to vtec every night?
Better buy Vios, really value for money
– low fuel consumption
– silent cabin
– good nvh
– all the material inside&outside very tahan lasak not like proton/perodua
-cheaper than city,forte,inspira
– very2 reliable…still strong even after 10 years (korean car sudah hancur by this time)
– very sporty with bodykit (no more dugong like)
– and finally its a TOYOTA, very reliable car maker..
once a dugong always will be a dudong in the design of the car
Dugong? can’t agree more!
I personnaly called it Mee-Ku Car. You know.. During CNY, the Steamed roundish bun with thick red colour outside, white inside.
woi toyota diehard…kau mmg kena buli oleh geng ford & chevy kalau kau tgl di amerika..hahaha…
Did u use ur brain before u speak?It’s a totally different type of car..and u take it to compare with each other?Come on man.. -.-“
great car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stock clearence ma …..
This is extremely doesn’t make sense. Almost RM100k to get a B segment 1500CC car which is same engine capacity as Myvi and even smaller than 1600CC Saga????
Better top up RM10k for C Segment car for better stability cruising on the highway instead of this.
GET AN INSPIRA!!
Trust me, when accelerate, this “sporty City” will be left far behind compared to the 1600CC manual Saga taxi! 90++k??? What a disaster!!!!! Better get a real C segment car la.
the SE 003 sound like new brand for other man use product..
IS bidding needed to get nice numbers?
SE 467, SE 469 :-D
“Honda Malaysia points out that the add ons are worth over RM6,000, so you’re getting a good deal.”
Good deal my arse!!!
Another piece of premium priced junk from Honda Malaysia.
“the City Special Edition is priced at RM92,890, which is RM2,500 more than the standard car. Honda Malaysia points out that the add ons are worth over RM6,000, so you’re getting a good deal.”
– Perhaps RM 2.5 K is the cost, RM 6K is the selling price! What a bull-crap of Special Edition with this addition of spoiler thinghy! Or try to rival our Junior Jaguh Kampong MyVi by come out with Edition-this-and-Ediiton-that crap! Very boring!
now i agree with you :)
cheers!
Just for modulo BK, Nano Tech Tinted Film & ‘special’ number..prrffthhh..!!
Great to hear it
tunggu city facelift
Skip the facelift…faster launch the ALL NEW HONDA CITY…
whatever…
Yummmyyy….should have it in black colour also lols.even better in matt black
wauuuuu…sooooooo special~~hahahaha
Guess they’re trying to get rid of the old models before the new ones come in?
waste of time
The most awaited story! It’s time to bash ‘H’ guys!!!
I will definitely add another 10k+ and buy a Civic. Not going to make much difference in the loan anyway.
If u wanted to add extra funds, thn u shd go for Altis 1.8E not even 1.6 as 1.8E are entry model for new 7-speed gear box.
Suits u well if u r not keen on leather seats as one of the added features. H.City just underpower hence more pressure on ur right foot.
or, get an Inspira!
why the front end looks like the kit from toyota vios…
stock clearance edition
Stock clearance should lower the price or maintain the price with adding extra spec….But this totally different…so dear man.
Very obvious HM is clearing old stock & launching new facelift City!!
This car better than forte2.0 in terms of everything? often going up cameron highland which of tis car better to drive?
On a long journey, the Forte seems more relaxed with a lil’ more space, though the City feels more sprightly with its 5 speed box (3 gears + 2 OD gears) compared to the facelifted Forte’s new 6 speed unit.
2.5k for crap, what’s the point??
“Available only in Polished Metal or Tafetta White, the City Special Edition is priced at RM92,890, which is RM2,500 more than the standard car. Honda Malaysia points out that the add ons are worth over RM6,000, so you’re getting a good deal” Honda fans will believe watever Honda Malaysia says….poor things as if a made in Thailand car is not overpriced already, the new car is just around the corner!
In business perspective, It just marketing strategy/ gimmick by Honda.
Nothing new.
honda trying to clear the old stock for upcoming facelift?
with the customer allowed to choose its own 1-500 number, will that lead to a situation where certain numbers are not taken up,hence car not sold? emm….
Wow! Special Edition for special people.
Well. My wife just about to book standard Honda City last Monday only for me to suggest her that maybe she should look at Ford Fiesta before deciding. Now with this SE coming I think her decision definitely will be this Honda City SE.
Tell your wife go get a Fiesta, don’t compromise with safety!
both are crabs!get a Polo TSI!
Pls ask her to test drive few times 1st. Dont rush in getting a H.City and year end are coming too, plenty of offers awaits her. The NVH in H.City is lousy compared to Fiesta.
ur wife a japanese housewife? if so, city is a great choice, more vibration on the road.
ask your wife to test drive the honda city, and ask her to power up/down the front windows a few times, for her to see the side panel expand and contract. Cheapness, amplified.
Biasa je i tengok honda city SE nih…
clearing the stock, perhaps? :D
Thought they will have facelift, but it is special edition. Or the trick where they will release new facelift after clear all existing stock available for the current model.
Modulo kits never did sell well so they launched the SE to sell all those old kits off to get ready for the face lift City in 2012 which is also a car with a face job done onto it. *Yawns*
honda also nak buat lagi power lagi best? O.O
lg power lg best tukar enjin wooooo..ini city enjin lama juga
i’m waiting for Honda CIty 2011 Deepavali Edition
Me waiting for Honda ‘Siti Nurhaliza’ Edition
hahaha…funny..
then later year end got “Chritmas edition” pula..
Later come out “Rio Edition” like AngryBird
Oh, last batch of City before launch of new Facelift model this year.
Stock clearance..
Almost RM93000 for a B segment car and nothing much special about it, seriously!!!!
seems Honda want to follow P2.
It’s a massive marketing strategy these days almost every car maker is doing it.
But my concern now is, you have the City and Vios bumped up in size and price to where the Corolla and Civic were, and these 2 are now have cabin spaces just slightly smaller than the Camry and Accord.
I don’t foresee any problems for them to bring in or introduce new and cheaper models to rake in market share, like how the upcoming Brio and Etios will become the cheapest Honda and Toyota you can buy, but what happens to the Camry and Accord?
I think Honda should offer cheapest version of City with Manual transmission and wheel cap only. Thus, this version can fight with Vios J.
I’ll wait for my personal Honda City SESE or Honda City SE2
SESE stands for Secondhand Edition + Special Edition
I personally think nothing special and good to shout for this special edition with only body kit, tinted flim and a engraved plate with numbering. But people who looking for something extra with more value for $ can go for it.
They just seems like over purchase the Modulo body kit and to get back their investment on it since most people who buy City will go for the after market Mugen, Airmaster and etc….Cheaper!…What a lame Special Edition….
LOL oh well Honda…
Such a ‘lame’ SE…bored with all these revisions & SE.Consumers want real improvement in drive train,engine,handling…not some stupid bumpers &spoilers.The door sills numbers is the biggest joke of all.Is being 001 any special?Only idiotic ‘cave men’ will get excited…Wake up honda,before you close shop.
lol siap letak nombor code lagi tue. padahal cuma body kit je, LOL lawak
GOOD VALUE, SIGN THAT NEW CITY COMING??
2011 Honda City 3rd Generation Special ‘Appearance’ Edition… nice
what???
Just bring in the new car instead
Have to clear ‘old stock’ dulu bro, cosmetic upgrade=impress honda fans=price upgrade=stock clearance
if not, have to give discount (“in your dreams” said Mr. Honda) to clear stock…
Gotta wait for another 2.5 – 3 years.
Now T & H with their Vios and City, were infected by Jaguh Kampong DNA, also come out with sooooo many type of Edition-This-Edition-That ………. No thanks for this marketing gimmick to clear old stock or boost sales!
Jaguh Kampung Neo positioned well in Group N rally in Hokkaido…
even smoked plenty of Subaru WRX and Mitsu Evo!
Yah, you can smoke out, then send Saga to smoke out and beat flatten other models in term of sales in any part of the world!
u have to admit this type of marketing hype strategy works well. especially in our BolehLand.
get a city SE 007 be the james bond lolz
Another stock clearance exercise… Just to clear the way for the facelift. Japanese brands still take consumers as fools. Next year VW gonna whack them kau kau…
Some more, select VW models will be assembled in Malaysia. Cheaper VW? Now thats’s tempting!
before this they offered 4.5k for the modulo set
now they offer 2.5k for the modulo plus the tinted plus special
really butthurting the previous owner who bought frm them
it say only 500 units sold, not not that the number must be within 1 – 500.
Eg 4, 14, 24, 34,44, 444 will be excluded and replaced with 688, 638, 888, etc.
do you know how to read?
“SE owners get to choose a special number between 001 to 500 for their car”…
where does the 688 comes from?
…what’s wrong with ” 4, 14, 24, 34,44, 444 “?
444 = die-die-die???
555 = banyak hutang maaa..!
heh.. nothing wrong with number 4, it just superstitious.
Believe it or not, there are people who will actually buy this simply because of its ‘Special Edition’ tag.
yes…. becos they got shitty brain
because they have much more money than u to dump everywhere
More likely because it got a “H” logo.
JAMES BOND will get angry when someone brought the SE 007 XD..jk..jk..
yea, SE007 city pwn all honda cars, NSX included, lol
thailand old stock throw to malaysia market! like the recently isuzu D-max
stock clearance.. thai already have New facelift, malaysia will follow in 2 -3 month time..
HONDA Sales and Marketing Program in Malaysia:
1) Facelift old design cars
2) Change Head lamp and Tail Lamp (All New)
3) Change the Body Kit (Special Edition)
4) Recall for technical issues (Upgrade)
5) GOTO 1.
this is like what air asia said…”now every one can fly”…but this one…”now everything is SE”…hik hik hik
what is it with special skirting???—kedai ah beng also got lots cheaper.
nano tinted??—-tinted kedai ah beng also cool what.
‘special’ edition number @ door side plate??? unless u drive without your door at all…so everyone can see its number..now thats SPECIAL!
Agree with you. Somehow nowadays Vios, Myvi and City coming SE edition like plague.
For all the looks this one has, they should put in a close ratio manual shifter.
SE = stock extinguishing edition… or sapu edition.. lol..
woow! it comes together with special SE number! extremely great!!
who is the lucky person to get SE 007?.. haha
one unlucky person will get SE 467.
so not pretty
For this price, better top up and get Altis. You won’t regret, quality is much much better, with new engine and gear box
for this price better not top up and get an Inspira!!
ok.. SE 007 will be nice..
wait, who gonna book for SE 444? =P
SE 004?
SE 114?
SE 164?
SE 444?
SE 454?
SE 467?
…?
ape2 jela honda….yg penting ford fiesta lg best
indeed…
what so special about it??? i think honda is starting to ‘ikut2’ perodua… hahahaha…
Yeah, stock clearance before facelifted City is launched at the end of this year, possibly in December. It’s very obvious. I am sure people who book the City now want to get the facelifted City. Wakaka!
apa benda lah kau buat ni honda
critic_A will get nothing but inspira for that price!!
2.0 mivec, cvt invescs-III, pedal shift, lotus-handling and so on~~
long live proton!!!
lol
I too don’t understand why a 1.5 B segment City can outsold a C segment Forte.
Infact it cost more to own a City, something wrong with Naza & KIA image & repo ? ? ?
shitty car + shitty bodykit + tinted film, and they have the balls to call it a special edition? icing on the cake is that some idiot in hongdah malaysia approved the idea to give each of the 500 units a special plate with serial number.
absolute bollocks.
Line up of Honda City in Thailand
http://city.honda.co.th/city/main.html
Honestly, it is expensive ainit? 92K for a car 1,5 auto with more plastic than normal. People who buy this should not complain why food is expensive nowadays. They don’t have the right to. The US double dip is just around the corner, and Greece…? Did anybody learn anything from 2008?
HOW ABOUT BUYER FRM LANGKAWI?
The world economy is bad. Gov shud help ppl to relieve the burden, but we are sufferring becos of expensive petrol even tho we are one of the petroleum supplier in the world. The cars are so expensive becos of the gov tax, why we cannot complaint? Any reason? We work everyday but our salary cannot cover the expenses. People who are rich getting richer while who are poor getting poorer & we still cannot complaint?
Another Limited Stock Clearance Edition???
So looks like T, H and N brands are all the same…
inspira would be a better choice.
uncle honda, ur smarter than all of those ppl who r giving us thumbs down!!
Inspira rocks!
inspira mmg berbaloi…tapi aku ttp bersabar dari hari ke hari menunggu persona replacement…inspira biasa2 je…
Next u will see Acc shop selling those side plates and u can etch whatever number u wan
I want super edition 8888888888
kalu ade yg beli city ni dpt no SE 001 adekah no plat keta die SE 001 atau tu sekadar no kat sill plate saje?
Inspira more value for money but in reality ppl still love this overprice B segment.
@ honda, we’re always ahead of ourselves ;)
gud honda… nice honda city in the year…. i like…
