All New 2009 Honda City

[maomao82]

Just my personal preference and opinion as a layman and a first time owner

i'm pretty ok with mine. mileage about slighly above 2k, on 205/50R16 falken 522 tyres. it felt better than the stock 175 for non-LX version. Being heavy footed, i'm getting abt 11+-12km/L for the AT.

Power: When it's loaded with 2 persons, still quite ok. when i have 4-5 people in the car, usually remain 2-2.5k rpm. the dropping gear happens quite often. can't help to compare coz i was usually driving a family cvt Latio. despite the roaring noise at gear change, i still feel that it's a powerful car

Steering: Initially felt light, but now feels stiffer, which suits me better.

Brakes: but i was thinking, i would prefer a slightly more responsive brakes, esp for the first 1/4 of the peddle. partly coz i'm on about 75-80% congested urban drive, so i'd need to use more brakes to 'inch' forward.

Soundproofing: surely has much room for improvement.

Cabin: I'm about 1.75m tall, with long legs. So i will push the driver seat back a little. but still enough leg room for passengers who are about 1.7m tall. the glove compartment is a little small though. only can put a couple of stacks of coupons and a torchlight. cup holders are a plenty, which comes handy. thinking of getting a container to put inside

Accessories: i'd be even happier if the non-LX version will be given more features, looking at the price. i paid about 55k ($1k COE) for my AT non-LX. E.g. powered foldable wing mirrors, foldable backseats or back passenger armrest. Multi-speed windscreen wiper on intermittent mode as most of the time when it rained in the past month after my collection, the higher 2 speeds of the wipers are either too fast or too slow. as far as i'm concerned, i'm fine with not having fog lights.

I'm greedy....

1k COE tat time the Kar price so exp? I gt mine 56k+ wif 11k COE

Hi guys, i'm a newbie, wanting to get the LX city tomorrow. But still thinking against others as
1) Price a bit high
2) i test drived 2 days back, when i step on it, the air intake from the engine seems a bit loud.
3)i was told OMV 19k only. its it true?

So, with an overall expert view of those owners here, is the car worth it?
Since its going to my first car, tend to be a bit scare scare.
thanks in advance

most of them are turned off by the price... but grin their teeth and get the ride..

I suggest u test drive as many as possible on at A before decide.. buying car is not like buying clothes..change anytime u want!!

My purpose is i wan to get a honda, need a booth, and shall be cat A. I had been thinking for weeks of getting FD4 or City, and end up getting the City...

The sad thing is after-market 'legalise' parts are virtually none.... console myself... save $$$

Hei, thanks for the input. I was quite put off by the price too. But, donno why, test drive some other cars, still like Honda better. But when i speak to a lot of my friends, they all turn me off saying price too high, same price could get better cars blar blar. haizzzzz, see how lor, its going to be my second wife too. To prevent myself from having a mistress, better chose a good one! hehehe

City in SG car scene is pretty quiet
The car is not 'beng', neither it is cheap.. and as always... everybody who wan to buy City will think 2x,3x, 4x, etc...

This price can buy a MIJ Jazz or top up a bit to buy FD4, why City !!!
Even CAT A sedan category, with this price, i can get mazda3, vios, altis, or cheaper korean car...

Look at forte 2.0... not bad right?? 50+k nia... isnt that better...


U keep asking becos u wan to get a honda and probably u like the new re-freshing looks and the big boot for storage...maybe dont wan to spend much more to get FD4..

Anyway, this is my assumptions lah...

My advise, which same as replica...test drive the car..and other brands/model before commit... to the very least, u know u will love it and take care of the car well...

I'm always on the look out for our breed too... machiam playing hide & seek. So far, I've spotted 1 at my hse carpar, 2 ard Sengkang area, 1 ard tampines, 1 ard Geylang, probably coz i stay east side onli sport Easterns??
Btw: there's six 5G owners who are in City club

Btw itsec, I think we need to top up ard 10k+ to get a FD4..not juz a bit..

Anyway, no point getting the civic liao, since the current one will be replaced by a new platform in a couple of years. Thats the reason I told myself, and plus the fact that I will be saving some $$. At least after 3 years, when i wanna change a car, I know that the city i'm selling is still the CURRENT model, the most kena a facelift only.
