It’s has been a few days since the debut of the 2009 Honda City, featuring a completely new facelift. Personally, I think this is the first sub-compact, budget car which offers a futuristic look in our nation. It’s impossible to have a ultramodern looking car at such a reasonable price of RM 89,980 for the top of the range model. Many Malaysian thinks that this is such an absurd price, absurd in the sense of too expensive for today’s economy. And of course, I have got the same thoughts as well. No doubt, this may be the best car for a small size family.
Well, it seems like it’s a lil’ more expensive compare to it’s rival, the Vios. But then, it’s just a small price to pay for having a car which is equipped with a state-of-the-art technology like the paddle shifters for its 5 speed automated manual gearbox with auto-lock element. Of course, Honda had improved its interior for a more sportive look. Even the front seats have been changed into a semi-sport type for better grips during excessive G-forces yet comfortable for a luxurious cruise. Additionally, the rear seats could be tilted for a more tolerant sense. For more information, this could be helpful. Anyway, these are the pros of the cars which I’m not that interested to mention on as Honda’s low cost car are always one step ahead of others.
When it comes to the cons, for some reason, I’ve a real bad feeling about this. First thing, its external appearance. The frontal design can be considered a revolutionary look for the first time in City’s history but, when it comes to the ‘arse’, it’s a total disaster...=.= Second, the E-spec may be the best stock model but, it doesn’t come with bodykits which is a NEED for cars these days. Good news, Honda do provide a kit package from a not-so-well-known brand, Modulo. A City with those optional parts may cost u a hefty RM10,000 more. So, the car now cost about 100 grand or more. Third, what’s the point of installing air-conditioning ports on the rear seat floor??? Smell the musty odour of carpets and those not-so-aromatic foots??? Forth, RM2,500 extra for a ‘miniature’ GPS system???...kudos, Honda...=.= Fifth, the meter clusters are just...old schooled. Same story goes for it’s rival...why they made the tachometer small while the speedometer big and wide. Can’t you make it the other way round like the Ferrari. Oh, I got it Captain Obvious. You wanna make sure the drivers take note of the speed...screw you, asshole!!!
Lastly, i really do recommend you to get this car for a normal usage. Although it has a lot of cons,...no worries. These are my view as I am a perfectionist... Anyway, this car really does better than local cars...u know which 2 brands i mean right...haha
