The Honda sales guy told me the car was assembled in Melaka (is this true?), and it justifies the quality i’ve seen (he actually agreed…hmmm an honest sales guy?). If it is, why in gods name it is still priced so freaking high?

The engine is loud from inside if you floor down the accelerator. Compare this to the previous Honda (did they forgot to put noise absorbers between the engine and the drivers/front passengers seat?)

Well, in summary, looks gained the points but quality gained the minus. For a price of almost 90k, i would definitely say a NO for this car. Don’t just justify the car by looking at its new shape, look for the overall quality for the price you’ll be paying. Adding another 30k to that and you’ll be driving a Civic which is far better anytime (yes i know…different class).

However guys, my friend as I mentioned, he is an automobile student graduate and has worked for Honda before during his internship. He had told me that Honda has always have problem in the 1st year of sales. So, it’s best to buy the car after 1 year where they have probably fix all sorts of minor/major problems faced by customers.

-FOCUSING ON THE FRONT BUMPER-
The City in red.. looks a bit of PROTON-ish and I don’t know why.. the figure of Proton Waja and Perdana just seems to combine in a way…..and the last picture, from that angle of the picture being taken.. OMG IT LOOKS LIKE A PROTON PERDANA!

Anyway, I just hope its a good car and I’ve always been a fan of Honda Civic.. it takes a lot more to impress me in order to make me fall off my chair!

GetGo! – No built steering controls for the LX model? WTF. Let me know how it pans out.

1) Basic version: no paddle 5 gear shift and not so cool sport rims and no build in player – will provide JVC player or alternative.

2) LX model : Full scope as what we seen in the internet, accept the stearing do not have the build in remote for tuning the music volumen and channel.

I don’t know about you guys! but I am taking it for a ride in the next 28 days.

Regina Cassandra – It does look like it.

Olie – For a lower budget group.

Ratu Syura – Yabah, I think it’s around 90K. Still overpriced if you ask me. We need to stop pampering Proton and be done with the dramatic sales tax!

d e s – You’re right. Now it’s not the right time to buy. Economy on the brink of recession.

mat kolej – High five amigo! You’re right about the new Vios. In fact, I never liked the City and Vios, but this new City is beginning to change my mind.

smokinlala2002 – True, a car is a car, but of course, there are limits. Everyone is entitled to their own taste, just ask those people who were not in the right frame of mind driving the Berlingo, or the Juara. Yeah, Tiara is a tank. I feel your pain.

With the interest rates from banks increasing like nobody’s business, I doubt it’s a good time to buy a car at this moment…
