I remember Honda City used to have a better(or better looking) touchscreen, why do they replace it with a more lousy one? And I prefer fabric seats like those at the City compared to the doesn't-feel-right leather seats at the Ionic though. I watched your review on the Ionic, makes me so interested on that car right now, but heard that Hyundai's car have some quality issues and quite expensive maintenance is it true?
bobby ang, what is your opinion regarding inverter in any hybrid car? for example toyota camry inverter price about RM 40K above, battery hybrid RM 8000 (which is cover 8 year warranty) . its value for money incase inverter in hybrid car damage? im do calculation but still confuse its worth for inverter and for resale value? hope you can do review for hybrid car for best value interm of warranty cover
Wow Just heard of it for the first time today on the radio And here's the review earlier than any car review channels Well done Bobby for the review so soon
Aiyoo Calvin, people buy hybrid for a reason lah bro , economy & relaxing daily drive. It reduce your fuel cost , but it still have enough power surge should you need it.
The only gripe i have is the telescopic steering function on city/ jazz can't pull nearer to driver enough thus making the pedal too near to driver and not having a comfortable driver's position. Bad for tall or longer leg person.
Hey bro, enjoying your videos lately. Keep it up! Just wondering, without a rev-counter and in Manual mode, how would one gauge when to shift up gears?
More for downshifts than upshifts. I like paddle shifters because they allow me to downshift at my whim, i never bothered much about upshifts as they'll do it anyway even if you don't want to, except Subaru STI's amazing baller CVT.
i like the fact that on affordable mass market cars like these ... you can swap out the standalone player and install crazy high end infotainment stuffs ... so in terms of speakers ... you can go Nakamichi if you wanted to ...
The electric air-cond compressor is smart, until sometime down the road it wears out and you will have to replace it. You will probably get a heart attack when you hear the cost.
Would love to see a Cerato K3 1.6 review as well. Many comments on why buy a B-segment City/Vios when you can have a C-segment Cerato by topping up a little.
When you touch everything around the dashboard, it may seem like the Honda. But the moment you start accelerating and go into the first corner, you know the Vento is another level in terms of sound insulation, solidity. It's a smaller car though, but for me, I can buy the Vento and go Ulu Yam, join car driving groups etc. Honda City isn't built for that purpose.
Handling goes to Vento too. I saw a post on LiveLifeDrive or something reviewing the Honda City pre-facelift. There's a part where Honda organised an emegency maneuver event to showcase the City's stability control. Against the VSA-equipped City, came 3 contenders Almera, Vios and Polo Sedan (Vento). None of the contenders have stability control module. City passed the test with no drama, evading the cones and the boxes. Almera smashed a lot of boxes. Vios smashed a bit and the Polo Sedan smashed no box nor cone. Some testers tried to smash the boxes with the Vento but to no avail. So yeah, like Bobby said, the Vento is on another level when it comes to ride and handling finesse.
Void warranty, remember? Duh. And this is a fairly hi-tech car. Nobody wants to drive this car without a warranty. Your recommendation is good but it is a risky move.
have test driven this. good package. only thing i dont like is the handling. it just lacks so much in that regard. the iriz handles better. handling may not be a concern for most, but it is for me
Martinss Heng Ioniq is very underrated. Offers very good features for it's price (That you can't get in a 150K+ car, let alone the City!). City hybrid is just another normal honda
jian ming lee you gotta switch it to sports mode. Then the hybrid cluster changed into rev mode. Search for grace hybrid in TH-cam . Then you'll know how the cluster works
you should specifically warn there is no spare tyre thats why you got big trunk area. instead of saying "emergency kit" thats air compressor from what i read in internet. thats useless for blown or splitted tyre in the middle of nowhere.
+shafri omar I highly support car makers ditching spare tyres and moving to run flats. First of all, it's a dead weiggt. Secondly, too many heroes watched US shows and change their tyres at the roadside act cool when all they could've done is just roll the car until a there's a shop or safe place to stop - the only thing damaging for doing that would be the rim.
right damaged rim and no single rim original sold anywhere, hence buy 1 set 3rd party rim, thats cheap right, no i'm joking, thats not cheap. i guess you havent experienced the nearest shop is 50km away you are on rush hour or emergency, and the speed dragging burst tyre is like what? 5-10kmh? thats 5-10 hours journey. you want faster then you'll play firework on the rim and possibly damaged suspension, mounting and bushings etc. dead weight adds value to traction, momentum during free running car on a highway, the cost risk is only what? few cents of fuel/battery charge wastage in a month? or several seconds of shorter brake pad lifespan. complete set of brake pad is what? RM60? compared to hours of wasted time and effort and heart pain and thousands RM of complete rim... no its not worth it, tossing out that dead weight in exchange to extra luggage compartment is not worth it. maybe that car suits you, your place and life/work style, but a no no for a bunch of us, so a warning is necessary, not everybody are like you. imho. having said that, this issue is not specific to the honda hybrid, its becoming trend in newer hybrid car, so watch out, the bunch of us. i will think twice about this issue when buying another car. hybrid is good and modern, but this...
Bobby Ang during i own a Car for 6 years i agree the spare tyre is dead weight, if its flat, just use the compressor to pump the tyre and go tire shop or nearby petrol pump and call Towing truck 😁
Irfan Nadz ever heard of dual clutch transmission problem of Volkswagen and Audi? Well you pay attention to word of mouth or you are a sub of bobby ang long enough im sure you'd know abt that
This car is exceptional value for money. Well done Honda. RIP Toyota, Nissan.
Great video Bobby!!! Thanks for the upload!

Hi sir. What is the range for the electric motor. As in how many km it can go on electric motor alone?
bobby ang, what is your opinion regarding inverter in any hybrid car? for example toyota camry inverter price about RM 40K above, battery hybrid RM 8000 (which is cover 8 year warranty) . its value for money incase inverter in hybrid car damage?
im do calculation but still confuse its worth for inverter and for resale value? hope you can do review for hybrid car for best value interm of warranty cover
Mr Bobby, IF...and if city hybrid and hyundai ioniq hev plus is at the same price (RM90k), which one will you buy if you're hunting for a hybrid??
Wow
Just heard of it for the first time today on the radio
And here's the review earlier than any car review channels
Well done Bobby for the review so soon
For the viewers, if you do buy this car,
TURBOCHARGE IT!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
And switch out the hideous rims
*you either like it or you don't
Aiyoo Calvin, people buy hybrid for a reason lah bro , economy & relaxing daily drive. It reduce your fuel cost , but it still have enough power surge should you need it.
Don't even attempt to turbocharged or remap any turbo cars with a hybrid drivetrain. It's gonna fuck up the car very nicely. JUST DON'T. :)
Semut Gatal its just a joke la wei so serious for what lol
The only gripe i have is the telescopic steering function on city/ jazz can't pull nearer to driver enough thus making the pedal too near to driver and not having a comfortable driver's position. Bad for tall or longer leg person.
How could i connect my smartphone to the honda in car entertainment unit. (Not bluetooth)
Don't you test the sport mode as well?
7 years later will the hybrid system be reliable?
what name that you install at windscreen hcity?
Should i get this or Civic 1.8
i Wish they can do the hybrid for the BRV or the HRV.
aik no spare wheel? i mean like no spare tyre?
Regenerative braking is so real wow
You leaving collective kl?
Hey bro, enjoying your videos lately. Keep it up!
Just wondering, without a rev-counter and in Manual mode, how would one gauge when to shift up gears?
It will do it for you i guess. lol ...
Bobby Ang then what's the point of the paddle shifters 😂
A rev counter is displayed in the digital screen when in sport mode. That way you can keep track of the revs
More for downshifts than upshifts. I like paddle shifters because they allow me to downshift at my whim, i never bothered much about upshifts as they'll do it anyway even if you don't want to, except Subaru STI's amazing baller CVT.
hi bobby, i wonder if this hybrid model comes with tweeters? Because i can see there are covers mounted beside the door handles.😁
i like the fact that on affordable mass market cars like these ... you can swap out the standalone player and install crazy high end infotainment stuffs ... so in terms of speakers ... you can go Nakamichi if you wanted to ...

This or ioniq?
review tesla roadster
Jazz still drives better?
Dear Bobby, can u review the 2017 Kia cerato 1.6 k3?
If you're interested in this car, go ahead and buy it. Not a bad car at all. But there are plenty of compelling options out there.
But if you looking for c segment car then there's good value to buy ( coz I have it too)
Does he forgot the hybrid got no spare tire?
Dilemma in choosing Jazz or City, any suggestion?
How does these two perform in terms of driving, practicality, features and style?
AntZz0404 same, but the city is a bit more refined.
Due to longer wheelbase. Also, the City got a bit more kit than the Jazz Hybrid.
City is more practical but jazz is more powerful
Pean Zafuan haha. True to a certain point. The power difference is very little.
I'm 6ft 11 and I fit perfectly.
wow, you have flexible joints!
disappointed no led headlights
Hi Bobby could you do a review of the Kia Cerato? The variety of cars now available in the B and C segment is just insane
Would love to see a Cerato K3 1.6 review as well. Many comments on why buy a B-segment City/Vios when you can have a C-segment Cerato by topping up a little.
KL Yong... Yea mate, agreed!!!
Hi Bobby I was wondering if the new City's engine will shutdown when your at the traffic light or something
yes it does. and the aircond still works!
Oh
Thanks for the information
So the main difference is not the design but the engine cuz it sounds wicked I am using the previous model
spare tyre lor... what happen if pancit anywhere?
Ajib Mc got tyre repair kit like pump and punctured liquid
Bobby,, which interior is the best quality materials between honda city and vw vento?
When you touch everything around the dashboard, it may seem like the Honda. But the moment you start accelerating and go into the first corner, you know the Vento is another level in terms of sound insulation, solidity. It's a smaller car though, but for me, I can buy the Vento and go Ulu Yam, join car driving groups etc. Honda City isn't built for that purpose.
Bobby Ang how about the handling
Thanxx bobby!
Handling goes to Vento too. I saw a post on LiveLifeDrive or something reviewing the Honda City pre-facelift.

have test driven this. good package. only thing i dont like is the handling. it just lacks so much in that regard. the iriz handles better. handling may not be a concern for most, but it is for me
then persona is the car for you😃
"Honda City has a larger boot space than Rolls Royce" Hahaha
The car got auto door lock?
No. Recent Hondas don't have emergency unlock mechanism like Volkswagen ICRS system so they think it is safer to use manual lock switch.
0:45 It seems that this Hybrid is very nippy car, is the 0-100 under 10 sec?
+Seramics not sure would love to find out
A little less than 10 secs which is faster than most non-turbo B segmenters here in Malaysia.
compare to ioniq?
Martinss Heng Ioniq is very underrated. Offers very good features for it's price (That you can't get in a 150K+ car, let alone the City!). City hybrid is just another normal honda
Saya mau more airbags
anybody noticed there is no rev meter in the car? how to operate paddle shift without it?
jian ming lee myb it is in the lcd side of the meter?
jian ming lee you gotta switch it to sports mode. Then the hybrid cluster changed into rev mode. Search for grace hybrid in TH-cam . Then you'll know how the cluster works
i shift my manual/semi-auto car by hearing the revs. thatz how i shift, aint got no time to keep lookin at the rev meter yo
Are the rear brakes in disc?
Not sure but don't think there's a need, as the hybrid drivetrain increases braking force.
No, it's drum.
Yo
you should specifically warn there is no spare tyre thats why you got big trunk area. instead of saying "emergency kit" thats air compressor from what i read in internet. thats useless for blown or splitted tyre in the middle of nowhere.

+shafri omar nah it's not as serious as you think it is. Just call a tyre repair guy
Bobby Ang during i own a Car for 6 years i agree the spare tyre is dead weight, if its flat, just use the compressor to pump the tyre and go tire shop or nearby petrol pump and call Towing truck 😁
Which should I get? 1.5v or 1.5 hybrid
1.5 without hybrid will give you way better resale next time.
Thank you so much for your advice Bobby
“ apa lagi kamu mau? “ omg HAHAHA
is this car still using cvt?
Irfan Nadz dct
it's a dual clutch now.
Bobby Ang nice...no more cvt like proton so much prob...
Irfan Nadz ever heard of dual clutch transmission problem of Volkswagen and Audi?
Well you pay attention to word of mouth or you are a sub of bobby ang long enough im sure you'd know abt that
Calvin Dabos not much about dct my friend also say dct is better than cvt is it true or not?
Sir you look so damn tall for that car haha.
But honda should add more length to head and legroom as many people growth spurt is increasing
lol Toyota and Nissan rip
is already rip since 2013
2:42 this is malaysia hahahahahahaa !! only happen in malaysia car review ahhahahahah
