I just bought a Honda City Vti-L.. And am loving it. I test drived a Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3, Holden Cruze, Ford Fiesta and a Suzuki Liana. I made my decision based upon my opinion of comfort, safety, power, fuel economy and passenger/boot space. For the price I was able to get it at, this was the best buy. I wanted a small car that didn’t sacrifice on safety and space, and with only have an automatic license means that most cars I drive have a little power, however the Honda City did go.

I’ve recently been looking at different cars for a first car but using it for business purposes. I’ll be travelling a lot with PA equipment and Keyboards etc. The big boot of the Honda City provides enough space to not have to use the backseat. And because it is not a hatch back like the jazz I have comfort in knowing I can go to the shops or leave my car parked with expensive equipment in it without feeling like someone can see what is on my car.
I don’t think this car is over priced at all. I’ve been indecisive in choosing the HOnda City, Mazda 3 or Holden Cruze. Mazda 3 is around 2k more than the City and provides similar features. A higher L engine although I need as ,uch efficance on fuel economy as possible. As for the Holden Cruze it is courian made which puts me off alittle i must admit. Made from the same manafacturers as the daewoo.

So the City is looking like the best option for me at the moment. I think the interior is okay. It has one of the best sound systems fitted in the Honda City which comes as a standard feature. I think the City looks really nice and stylish and it’s a really sturdy car.

Heres a real fact, after the hail damage was done on March 6th earlier this year. Honda’s had the least amount of claims on hail damage, purely because of the way they are made and their sturdy body. Although the white paint is known to b the best for preventing your reguralar hits and dints on the Honda City.

For all of you who think the City is just like a Jazz with a boot. I don’t agree. The space of a jazz inside is much smaller. And the bbot of a Honda City is much much much bigger. The exterior looks completely different also.

I hope this comment helps someone out there!!

Hi Everyone,

Just like someone said above, you pro korean cars would start comparing them to audi or bmw just cause it has ‘similar specifications/features’ well guess what? I have a Vonson LCD screen and it has the same features as a top of the line Sony. The same features though, built in a platic cheaper way, if i had the cash i’d go for sony anyday and i would never compare cheap brands to sony. Same with Kia, NO COMPARISON to Honda.

There are 1.8L BMW’s that cost probably 4 times the Kia’s or whateva weird names they call them these day, yet, the BMW is better.

I can buy a house in the western suburbs with automatic windows or i can buy a smaller house in the northern suburbs and manually open the windows. I’d pick the northern, why? Cause I prefer the view and standards of people – not on an individual scale but a mass scale.

Honda is above class of all the rest the korean made cars and Lancers and maybe even Toyota’s. They ensure standards in all their cars which the other brands do not. This is the difference.

By the way, a hyundai grandeur has leather and the bmw 5 sseries has leather too, whats the difference? Except for the fact that the seats will melt in the sun cause it’s fake leather.

HAVE RESPECT FOR CARS WITH CLASS AND DON’T COMPARE THEM TO LOWER ENDED CARS. NO COMPARISON.

Hi everyone, talking about Jazz and City. For the same type, 1.5L machine, the price exactly same. So is City to expensive, then how about Jazz?
I think price is not all about the quality and material only, but include the preference, and as we know honda’s second hand price is really good. specially for 1.5 and 1.8L one.

The 3S and quality assurance that Honda is promoting and advertising in Malaysia is really a joke. The Customer Service Manager in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia has not return my calls for nearly two months despite the fact that her staff couldn’t resolve my complaints on a major defect on my brand new Honda City. She just sweeps the problem under the carpet and washed her hands off the case. Surprised that Honda have such employee in management level, hiding in the 4 walls of her office. I wonder what KPI that Honda has set for their Customer Service Department. Now, their staff is pushing me to accept an unacceptable solution and yet their Manager doesn’t want to return your calls to resolve the matter. Very, very disappointed with Honda and regretted buying a Honda car with so many other defects besides the paintwork.

Nolram^

Ya tripping, YOU PAID MORE so in theory it *could* be worth more, but i doubt it.

Just ask all the happy Haonda legend and nsx owners about so-called “resale” bwaaaahhh NOT!

Enjoy your traction-control and stability control on your Thailand built buzz box.

The simple fact is you could have purchased VASTLY SUPERIOR for less

Overall, 09 City is the best in its class in terms of comfort and design…according to my wife hahaha. Resale value justifies higher acquisition price.
