Color for 2006 City

[mackvil]

This week, I'll be getting the new 2006 city S CVT. Up to now, i'm still confused on what color to take.

My first choice was black but I backed out because of the maintenance it needs.

Now, I am torn between albaster silver or shoreline mist. please recommend.

Also, mas maganda kaya na i'll just pick-up the car so that I can really check the whole car for some slight defects whatsoever? I read some horror stories for the quality of the new city especially the exterior.

I'll be getting it either at Honda Alabang or Honda QA. Still haggling for free alarm and rustproofing at Honda Alabang which Honda QC is willing t give for free.

Mas gusto ko kasi sa Honda Alabang kasi mas malapit sa amin.

Your inputs is very much appreciated!

Both silver and "shoreline mist" aka beige are good choices. Certain cars look better on certain colors. Imo, the City looks better in Silver. In the end, it will boil down to your own personal preferences. The "Tango Red Pearl" looks awful though.

Depending on your schedule and living proximity otherwise, it is preferrable if you go to the dealer to pick-up the vehicle. If they missed something, then you can easily make the claim on the spot.

Shoreline mist. IMO is much better. Silver is too common and looks ordinary. Shoreline mist hides dust and dried up dirt splash on the side cause by wet roads.

Agree. If I were you I'd get the black color.

mackvil, ingat ka sa Alabang - magaling lang sila pag selling. post sales, they now sucks. also, they behave as if sila lang pwede bilhan ng Honda, you have to beg for freebies eh mahal mahal na nga mga auto nila.

you can get from other dealerships, and you can still bring in your unit sa Alabang for service (at your own risk nga lang). even Balintawak was telling me recently they're willing to service my car even if Alabang ko nabili (may friendly SMS pa sila about carnapping, driving tips, etc).

2 cents ... and goodluck sa new ride.

[akuma]

tama... for me mas ok yung black na city... mas elegant...

just my 2 cents...

[bajumbo]

Kahit Ano basta black!

i have a shoreline mist. parang 2tone sya iba kulay nya pagnasisinagan nang araw at paggabi.

Just my two cent. Black is ok pero di bagay yung gun metal rim nya.

Ang first choice ko sana is black. kaya lang marami nagsabi sa akin na mahirap daw i-maintain. totoo ba?

pare-pareho lang naman ang maintenance eh...

mas kita lang kasi yung mga dumi kapag black (or any dark color) kaya linis ka lagi.

andyan naman si bigberts eh. ;)

Actually, di lang yung dumi kundi pati mga swirl marks kitang-kita sa black.

Check your unit THOROUGHLY, prepare to spend a whole day inspecting it. Test drive it. Put it through their wheel alignment rig. etc.

Don't expect Honda to get it right because their QC just totally sucks.

A Silver and S. Mist were also my choices but I read that silver was least accident prone while brown was MOST prone. Easy choice eh? :D

[mackvil]

Yes, i'll pick-up na lang the unit from the dealer so that I can thoroughly check the unit. Siguro naman kahit hindi na whole day. Syempre I'll test drive it first before signing the delivery reciept. Hopefully wala naman ako problems ma-encounter. (fingers crossed)

[mackvil]

i'll get the silver na lang... final answer! any objections? hehehe...

Silver... stainless?.. hehehe joke... ganda nun

[CLAVEL3699]

if u will get my suggestion tingnan mo muna shoreline mist sa may ilaw at wala tingnan mo kung alin gusto mo.

I got the shoreline. gustong gusto ko kulay

yun nga lang kung available sya sa kukuhanan mo

[1D4LV]

silver, dark gray or black...

[109]

sa city, the best ang black kung malinis lagi
2nd- either alabaster silver or shoreline mist

[zechs]

yup..kaya nga ang hirap i-maintain yung black na city ng bro ko eh..pero elegant talaga, lets give it that. IMHO, off talaga ang black color sa gunmetal rims. alabaster silver? ho hum...for me the color is dated already..parang ang luma ng tingnan..no offense.

gayahin mo si clavel..i dont think nagsisisi siya sa shoreline mist nya.. hehehehe :D
