I bought the first batch of jazz 09 last year and then subsequently bought the first batch of city 09 last yr.munkypunky wrote:Hi all,
I just book a City MT for $67k
Told my colleagues and they all think its not value for money.
They say that for almost the same price, might as well get a Japan made Altis.
I know its too late (since I already book), but just wondering what it is that made you all choose City over other cars. Just curious. And hopefully make me feel better about it as well.
These are the reasons on why i bought the so called 'not value for money' cars my frens commented.
Better engines. Better gearboxes. In short, better technology than toyota.
5 speed gearbox vs 4 speed
120bhp for 1.5 litre compared to 109bhp for 1.6litre altis.
paddle shifters vs conventional auto shifts.
sportier meters and better interior.
i guess these are enuff , not to mention the better exterior outlook as well.
For me, i think the city is a better buy as i bot the 1.3l jazz for the FC.
Somehow, the city not only outperforms my jazz in performance but also in FC as well.
The made in thai and made in Jap thing to me is just bullshit cos i dun see and feel much diff in quality and solidity of the materials used in the Jazz and City. And lastly, the Jazz costs as much as the city.
I haf test driven the toyotas prior to the city's purchase and i can say that the city definitely felt much better.
With the above, all i can say is you have juast made a value added purchase and enjoy the car.
welcome to honda and the City club.
