2014 Honda City (Gen 4)

[chrolli]

Im planning to get my own car but torn as to which one. The new City is one of the choices (along side Ecosport, Mirage GLS, Vios). Initially i wanted the VX model but since it's almost a 100k higher than the 1.5E CVT mejo napapaisip ako. Installment naman and kaya ng budget both pero shempre the practical in me's wondering if sobrang laki and worth it ba talaga yung difference ng dalawa? Haven't seen both in person siguro in the coming days pa. Na-off lang ako ng konti dun sa radio/stereo ng 1.5E kasi parang afterthought lang. may mailagay lang. parang mas maganda yung sa dating City.

Now I understand sir. Marami pong salamat. so yung Econ mode pala does affect the car's performance, I thought it was just assisting you on how to save fuel. hehehehe galing!! Excited na ko mag weekend. San kaya maganda magpa-reserve na malapit sakin? Calling those SAs there. Please PM your best offer.

+1 ako sayo sir. Parang anlaki nung space ng 1.5E. Yun lang din ang gusto ko before, but the Paddle Shifters and Push Start button got me. 1st car ko din po sana 'tong planned purchase ko.

^ Yeah, napaisip din ako before sa CVT at VX, pero naisip ko okay na din si VX since may backup camera sya and yung smart entry and push start din kasi yung mga hanap ko sa magging first car ko kaya sya yung naging factor kaya sya napili ko. :D

+1 on the stereo. Ampangit talaga. Reminds me of stereo ng mga Sarao/Jeepney. And the instrument panel, very bare. I prefer the outgoing model's. Kung one model higher naman, that places you on Civic/Altis territory, so another dilemma.

true. when i first saw the radio i had to look twice kasi parang non-existent sya. had they retained the radio of the outgoing model ok na sana. pasok na pasok na. bakit nga kaya yun ang nilagay ng Honda sa E CVT?

malaking + sakin ung backup sensor ng VX pero yun nga im trying to justify (to myself) yung almost hundred thousand na difference nila. shempre hindi ganun kadali kumita ng pambayad. at the same time ayoko naman bumili lang ng kahit ano since i plan to use and own it for a looooooong time.

[Par_Alas]

sir, meron pa lang backing up sensor yung VX? ang sabi sakin kasi once when I saw the VX unit in TriNoMa, walang backing up sensor but may backing up camera.

Follow-up question: Can the 2014 1.5 CVT City out run the 1.6 CVT Altis?

ay camera lang ba hindi sensor? kala ko kasama na un. ako na lang gagawa sound effects pag nakita ko sa camera na malapit na ko tumama sa gutter.

by the way, bakit po pala may mga hindi gusto yung automatic na aircon system? or is it the touch screen panel as a whole ang hindi gusto.

Pwede kayang yung 1.5E na lang, tapos dagdag na lang ng kaunti para upgraded yung HU, just like sa VX?
Another option is hintay-hintay muna aftermarket shops to bring in stereo panel para makapag upgrade ng HU.

check mo sa dealer mo ang cost ng VX HU sooner or later magkakaroon din yan sa labas or kung kasya ang 2din sa 1,5E you may want to check aftermarket HU with built in GPS na

IMO, among your choices, city is on top (excluding ecosport since its on different category). regarding the price difference, ppanalo ka sa features ng VX pero if you are not after those things inside then the 1.5E is still better if you will compare it with the mirage and vios.

if you prefer MT the you can compare it with the ecosport (in terms of price and fesatures) but if you are looking for performance i will go for the city

[rhadski]

Kelan kaya magkakaron ng corner sensors ang honda? balak ko kasi magpalagay kaso wala pa daw sila binebentang ganon, puro backup sensors lang. okay sana yung combo ng corner sensor + backup camera ng VX.

Actually im really leaning towards City altho when EcoSport first came out sabi ko yun na ang The One. Unfortunately i find it a bit cramped and based sa reviews, mejo underpowered. The GLS naman i liked before it's cheaper considering TOTL na sya altho mas mababang makina. Kaya lang baka mahirapan pag 4 kaming sakay. Sa City so far wala pa naman akong nababasa na negative review except of course sa pricing niya.... and sa radio ng 1.5E. Pag-iisipan ko na lang ng todo kung 1.5E or VX. Most probably seeing both will make deciding easier for me since sa monthly installment 1k lang halos diff ng 1.5E and VX and both less than 15k yung computation ng bank sakin.

mababa pa ang maintenance cost ng honda. test drove new city VX and mazda 3 1.5 city pa din in terms of acceleration. knowing honda pricey pero sulit naman.

based sa friend ko mababa ang cost of maintenance ng city (pms) at maganda ang service ng honda, you can check with any dealer. yung sa bro ko na una labas ng cvt (city) nagka problema yung cvt after a year. a nag expire yung warranty (more than 4yrs na yung idsi) pero since even after warranty religiously sya nagpapa pms sa honda, naayos yung issue without any cost except sa labor charge.

Sorry noob question lang. Nabasa ko yung brochure ng Honda City 2014. Yung Smart Key Entry available lng sa VX, VX+ model.
Hindi ko masyado ma gets kung ano yung Smart Key Entry na tinutukoy. Yun ba ung may pipindutin ka lang sa Susi para mag unlock ung doors? Kung yun nga yun, so dun sa E variant kailangan mo pa talaga ipasok ung susi sa door para ma unlock mo sya? Sorry sa noob question ah

[rhadski]

I believe yung smart entry is yung kahit hindi mo na iunlock thru remote or key e mabubuksan mo sya by just holding the door handle and the key is within proximity range. Paki correct na lang ako if mali.
