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.
errr..but hw cme no one affected by e fact dat BBDC using e 5g city liao ah...?

I see liao damn turn off lei.
i haven seen the actual car at BBSC...but i noe of the news liao.. Hope more pple who pass at BBDC will get the city so that after markets parts will be more readily available..

So bro, hows yr City serving u ? always openin Vtec? lol

hey bro! ps..been off for awhile due to exams. haha.

yep. The city is holding up great. power on demand!

As for e Vtec, i dun feel anything lei. Even for high revs. I think cos its ivtec ba.
Heard is becos it gradually open at different stages. So won have e vtec surge le.

However, e engine still sounding gruff lei. ):

while my jazz is sounding sweeter day by day.

Hey bros, was wondering the new city compared to the new avante and cerato forte, which is better out of the three..

Test driven e avante while b4 i bot e city.

I would say pick up and power wise,more or less the same? However, e city is a lot more smooth during auto gear change and in e area of engine refinement.

Avante quite not bad imo. Cheap and good lo. Also, i feel e gear lever abit flimsy for me.
But resale value wise turned me off. Buy e avante if u intend to drive 10yrs and scrape.

Else get e city. After all it is a honda.

Cerato i cant help u, nvr drive b4.

have you tried any of them? i only tried Avante, i30 before I decided on my 5G.

Avante's ride felt too soft for me and my CO's liking. i30 felt much sportier. but 5G felt most responsive. Won't be able to comment on the Forte because it only came out after I collected mine.

Yeah, just got my ride last week. POWER!!!
Is it becasue i haven run in, the engine seem a bit loud and not "powerful".
Picking up a bit slow, will reach up to 2.5 to 3 RPM sometimes. It is normal? Or just becasue i heavy footed? LOL

Is it a car you guys would recommend to a frist time driver? Haha, really attracted to the features n the interior design. Size wise? Does it fit 5 adults nicely?

I think many of us here are 1st time owners... as for the 5 adults, have to see whats their build. For average 1.7m guys should be fine

quite large car inside.

quite accessible. nothing that i like, nothing that i dont like.

not 1st time car owner but 1st time 1st hand car owner.

yep.

not overly powerful but not weak either.

Small turning radius

small length and easy to park.

definitely suitable for a new driver.

Okay, very nice. How do our bros feel about the features of the LX M/A? It doesn't come with retractable side mirrors right..
