Steering now adjust for rake and height, a feature normally seen only in higher class vehicles.
I was surprised to find out that the Thai specs City does not come with a CD player but instead is equipped with a iPOD compatible (with USB cable) audio unit, whose displays flips down to reveal a felt-lined compartment to keep your MP3 player. It is unclear if other markets will adopt a similar setup as audio units are often locally sourced items to keep cost down, thus they might differ from country to country.
The omission of a CD player is no issue to me. I can't even remember when was the last time I bought a CD. Who the heck listens to CDs in this age of iTunes and gigabyte-sized hundreds of hours playing MP3 players?! As far as car audio formats is concerned, just give me a damn AUX jack will do. I don't understand why some car companies still keep banging on about in-car / in-dash CD changers. Just give me a damn AUX jack to plug-in my MP3 player. How long can the CDs play compared to my 8GB MP3 player?
The cavernous 506-litre boot space is going to be a strong USP (unique selling point) in ASEAN markets. However Honda did not officially state which methodology was used to calculate this (VDA?).
The excellent vertically folding Ultra-Seat is now improved further to include storage compartment for small items.

strange could have sworn i saw the new city going around the pj a couple of days ago.
Dwg,
Given that the local Honda head office is in PJ, I am not surprise if you saw the actual car. And...I highly doubt you will mixed it up with some other Jap ricebox. Haha.
It is estimated that the local launch will be sometime early next year, maybe end-Jan or Feb. Car companies typically need between 4 to 6 months to prepare for a local launch - approval for regulation homologation, sales training, tv commercials / catalogue, installation, etc etc.
Too bad you didn't note down the registration plates, or is it unregistered?
Wow...really look nice eh..
not sure, it was turning off on to the federal highway, didn't manage to catch if it had number plates, since i only manage to spot it in my rear view mirror.
it does look good. the civic's long lost little brother.
