We just purchased our honda city last may 2011 over vios and fiesta. For me kase mas mahalaga safety features. And for me the city is the best compared to its competitors. sa city 1.3s may dual air bag, ebd+abs, and may engine immobilizer na. wala nito sa vios and sa fiesta na mid variant. plus for me, i like the look of the new body. parang transformers. he he he.... sa freebies naman, yung tint 3m na tpos pina 1 piece ko p sa harap without additiinal charges. i got my LTO registration free. naka stock rust proof na siya compared to vios na hindi pa. ang maganda lang sa toyota nag bibigay sila ng discounts sa honda hindi. kase according to them, sulit naman yung value and quality ng car.

So far, I'm really satisfied with the performance of the honda city. my average fuel efficiency is 12.5 l/km and the highest i got is 17.5 l/km on a long driving.

honda people goes " wow "

toyota people goes " meh. not again "

so in short, you get the so-called prestige when driving a honda

The City has come a long way in its form and function, from being a Civic wannabe in the past....

Also, the current City's footprint is the same as the previous gen of the Civic.

13.8K:gotcha:

[wilcats]

kung ayaw mo ng mukhang taxi, City :D hahaha

Simply the best in its class.....bigger cabin space and trunk

The City has come a long way in its form and function, from being a Civic wannabe in the past....

And it's currently even more comfortable than a Civic. With the 1.5L it has a balanced setup between power and efficiency.

Updated review of City 1.5E:


-acquired sept. 2009, not ondoy casualty, 16K++ mileage, mostly city driving, twice went to baguio

Pros:

1. Engine is still perfect, eventhough part of the recall. Very powerful, never felt "bitin" when overtaking because of rapid acceleration, no sweat climbing marcos hiway with aircon on.
2. Aircon is very powerful even on low settings( probably because of efficient ventillation as you may notice the engine is very compact and the distance between the radiator and engine is considerable compared to other cars).
3. As indicated on MID, ave. consumption on city driving with usually moderate traffic is between 10-11km/l. However, observed actual is 9++. Hi-way consumption at 100km/hr average is 18km/L.
4. Paddle shifters useful when doing engine brake on descent from baguio, otherwise, just leave it at D even when climbing steep grades.
5. No electrical, electronic problems whatsoever( cd, usb, aux, power amenities, lights, instrument panels ).

Now for the cons:

1. Squeaking sound on left front suspension which is only apparent during first few minutes of driving and will disaapear spontaneously afterwards.( Honda says it needs to disaasemble the front suspension to be able to do some lubrication and wiil take 3 days!! to do so- hesitant about this since no change in performance is involved,more of annoyance).
2. On and off "Tick" sound at the steering wheel evident when traversing some types of not so smooth roads.( Honda doesn't have any diagnosis yet )
3. Occasional rattles in the dashboard which I cannot locate.
4. Starting to feel a "crashy ride" eventhough almost always me and my wife are the only passengers and with reasonably fair roads on daily route.
5. Mentioned on past entry that the fuel cover is defective as experienced by other owners as well
6. Also the cloth inserts at the inner sidings and center console is "pudpud" na even with great care.
7. As observed by other owners, the body is super manipis, the word "lata" is probably an understatement.

hello guys, newbie here:

expecting my honda city 1.3s mt(bold beige) by first week of september..just paid the reservation fee a while ago...my SA in bacolod told me he will necessary arrangements for early delivery..hopefully he wont fail me this time....

was supposed to get the accent but hyundai bacolod just promise us without giving a definite answer on when the unit will arrived, collected the refund of our reservation fee at hyundai bacolod yesterday.

just a question, supposed to install a backing sensor on my city but my SA told they dont install that in bacolod and they dont recommend that to me also, is that really the case on all honda units? is that included in the manual also?..need it for safety purposes especially on tight parking areas..

should an undercoating needed to be done on my unit?what are necessary upgrades can you suggest? pls help people...

included on my freebies are lto,3M tinting,seatcovers,10Lgas...are these standards for honda buyers
should they have offered more?????need help on this....tia

[Philip0021]

Ounga ask mu ulit SA mu sir para sa sensors..

[dandang]

Half tank? Wow when i took out my city from QA, the fuel low warning lamp is on, buti umabot pa ako sa gas station.

When I got my Jazz 1.5v from Honda Manila last week, eto ang freebies ko:

1. LTO Registration good for 3 years
2. 3M tint all windows
3. Backup Sensor
4. Car Alarm
5. Default Matting
6. Around 10 liter Gas
7. Under coating
8. Door visors (don't know what brand)
9. Honda Seat covers

So it might be better to check out from Honda Manila just in case.

[Philip0021]

ounga eh,gulat din ako may half tank gas yung akin.hehe.. umabot from calookan to batangas yung free. haha

[demolester]

got a jazz over vios/yaris simply because i dont like its interior/exterior design.
i think somehow similar ang jazz and city, honda hands down sa porma, and engine sporty feel.. and thats it na,
i think toyota vios will give less head aches in the long run, more comfortable. based on my experience lang.
