Thats the reason I told myself, and plus the fact that I will be saving some $$.

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

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..
