After test drive both car... Straight away fall into Almera~
Korang 2 orang ni mmg ada bakat jadi pelakon popular la aku tengok 👍
You both are my favorite car reviewers! Your reviews are always clear, simple and with humor sprinkled in. Good job, Mah and Eu Jin!
Well , I’m coming from owning an old Nissan Sunny, and with this new Almera Turbo.....it is super sufficient for me for the next 5 or 10 years.......Great review from both of you.....
I want to watch the drag race guys. Entertaining review
Ya I think there is another channel called wapcar which had 4 B segment cars do drag race....and Almera overtook City easily.
true, and add on with the Vios GR
sorry *GRS
the Nissan win
@@mikhailmania3626 iriz laugh
Great comparison indeed. Thank you guys for making the input so entertaining to watch
Always love the video when there is GC and Eu Jin. Bring the drag race back!
Humor was on point, made the whole review enjoyable to watch start to finish, great content!
Best video so far!!! Enjoyed the rapport and banter... like the new direction
Yes, should have include the Vios Grs in the reviews.
Great review 👌. However should have included the unsung competitor, which is the Toyota Vios.. Wait for it.... GR SPORT.. 💪
very good comparison within these 2 cars, good job Autobuzz
Nice review as always! And drag race please!!
My thoughts on owning the Honda Ciyy 1.5 V :
Love the car overall. Impressed that this car is this refined for this price. It's personally hard to justify higher segment cars unless you are really going for performance.
Comfort is overall really good. I am coming from a Perodua Bezza and this is such a huge upgrade. Suspension is rather stiff but in a good way. It still manages to feel comfortable over even rough kampung roads. On highways, cabin NVH is good at 100km/h. Tire roll gets annoying any faster. Changing tires might help here. Will switch to Michelin comfort tires once these factory Toyo ones wear out.
Practicality is great. Boot is massive and seat can be folded down. Loading up all my things is easy. Only issue is the tunnel when you fold seats down has some parts making it not perfectly square. Do Visit showroom to see this for yourself. I don't mind it. Just gotta be more creative with how I arrange my things. Moving on, passengers have also said that they found the car to be super comfortable. Ferried my friends over to makan spots and they love sitting in my car.
Next, performance. For legal speeds, it's more than sufficient. Gets up to speed in no problem. Pushing on after 110km/h starts to show the limitations of the car but it's not recommended either way as cruising at higher speeds isn't comfortable imo. Pedal shifters are fun and can be engaged in D or S gear mode. Makes overtaking more fun and makes it behave exactly like a traditional automatic. Steering is light and tuned for practicality. There is no feedback but it's precise and very responsive. Despite of its power, it is fun to chuck around a twisty road
Fuel efficiency is great. 20+ km/l on highways and around 10.5-11km/l in normal town traffic. Full tank can go about 400-450km
Service has been a good experience overall. Did 1 month and 6 months service now and both went smoothly. Good customer service. Cost about RM400 for 6 month service
Overall, great car. Gonna be my daily driver for years to come. I might get a sportier car eventually for weekend drives but I'll definitely keep this around as I know this will stay reliable in long run.
I mainly chose this over Almera because of after sales network and reputation. Honda beats Nissan on that regard. Other than that, cruise control was also something I wanted. You have to get the most expensive Almera to get that. Honda City with rebates and all was around 82k for me. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these two cars. Test drive them and give it a fair shake. Enjoy!
Depends on your luck. But sadly heard that lots of quality issues for honda, which is worst than Nissan.
Many city owners complaining about many quality issues such as steering rack, rubber lining, honda cvt, minor rattling from dashboard, car paint quality and others. Going to honda service center but problems cannot end.
Even I owned my HRV 2019 owner, got lots of quality issues such as steering rack, honda cvt, power window and yet until now also still can't able to solve problem.
Even one of HRV owner who also owned same year as mine, but worst than my HRV, listed out 22 quality part issues such as wind noises, rattle noises and others.
Besides, even many of Civic fe owners also faced many quality issues such as wind noises, alignment, rubber lining and others. And two of new Civic buyers also complain about loose part for rear aircond and body quality also more like plastic.
@@juck2263 Update on steering rack,many owners said that after few months the kuk kuk soud gone away.
should have go with the V-sensing, but bezza to city is a proper sedan upgrade... my bezza...i feel depleted driving from penang to KL...
@@jasonwong1358 it depends on the users preference but E spec offers the most value.
Totally entertained by this review. Yes drag race it guys! Great job!!!
Extremely honest and proper detailed comparison.
Great review from you guys. Love how the puns are thrown. Definitely a better take from our Philippine car reviewers. Will wait for the drag race!
The showdown I have been waiting for
@John Gomez nak laju2 mau pergi mana.... haha
Very informative and humor review . thumbs up
i got damn excited waiting for City launch last time. but then I realized Almera VL (low variant) looks better than City V. seems like my next car will be Almera VL.
You guys are brilliantly funny. Great review!
This channel deserves more subscribers!! & drag race of course!! City RS, Vios GR & Almera Turbo
Agree, get this 3 top b segment sedan to compete against each other. And please minus the Malaysian beza and persona...
agree. really want to watch the top 3 b segment sedan comparison
Almera looks really sharp, too bad we dont get it in Singapore. But I am happy with the Nissan Note 😊
Nissan Note got e-Power, very cool :D
Malaysia could really use an ePower car also. Familiarize malaysians with electric cars.
Ya. Don't know what Tan Chong Singapore is thinking. The new Almera is miles ahead of the previous model and yet they don't import it. And ya. Why the Almera isn't available with the E-power system? What is Nissan thinking? Almera is a great looking car with great package.
Really really like this kind of review 😂
I want to watch the drag race. Can't wait to see the outcome
dont forget city have auto increase and decrease volume audio but almera have many function setting audio. means that almera have a good audio setting.
can’t wait for the drag race!
Yessss, drag race needed!!!
The previous City model looks WAY better and younger
The 2019 city interior look more sophisticated and classy although it doesn't have the dual tone dash and door panels. 2021 City dash just look too simple and plain, like the saga. But 2021 City driving dynamics might be way better than 2019 City.
Yes. Drag race for the B segment. TV vs HC vs NA
Really love u guys drag race next
ini kalilah..almera tapau city in every inch
These bros made me subscribe 👌
Love the guy in City, awesome review!
16:38 the feel i have every fridays going hometown in a single lane road (JKR the greatest government department of the country) where every driver in the road drives slowly forever and you have to overtake each and every one of them...
Nice review bro. i wonder why the owner of serena didnt review the almera instead🤣
Bring on the drag race! Tag along with Vios GRS.
9:44 I think 12V sockets are more versatile, you can get cheap converters and get as many USB-A or USB-C ports that you want. Also, I don't understand why would Nissan cheap out on the boot cover (10:37) but I love that they have a plastic cover on the petrol cap cover. Same for Honda not including a proper inner fender at the back wheel of the new City. 🤦♂️
"In the Cik City, there's nothing to citer lah", then continues on with a very selamba tone. LOL always loved your subtle BM sentences in your review, GC. Simple yet makes me chuckle.
Already test drive both car... Almera is more exciting to drive... Very effortless when U accelerate compared to city...City bunyi mengaum agak jelas bila tekan pedal utk accelerate.
Honda's naturally aspirated engines are always like this, all top end power no low end torque, have rev the shit out of them to get up to speed.
@@aaronbryan5095 its not far compare the city turbo vs almera turbo
Turbocharged engine got torque coming it at low RPM. Hence, Almera feels effortless
Up to the end user though. I prefer naturally aspirated engines. They are tanks in reliability and no need to worry so much

@@SAKTHITech drive and compare.. then u will know why Almera far more better than city
Went with the City 1.5V in the end and am very happy with my purchase! You can't go wrong with either definitely. It's amazing that this kind of value is available at this price point.
You won't regret after a year or two after owning a honda city. Lets hear what happen to Almera later down the road.
@@metzmatu8409 If you say won’t regret, heard growing number of people start to complain about New City after just driving for less than a year or even less than few weeks. Don’t believe me, go and check FB page.
@@muhdahmadirfan1691
I answered you a while ago on another channel on this.
I had 3 years and 70,00 km on mine with no issue.
Did Nissan solve the P-1778 issue on their CVT?
I am using a 2019 City and except for the rubber band effect of the CVT, I have to say I am very happy about it - very good fuel economy ( abt 16km /litre ), very quiet, spacious and good acceleration and handling. However it seem to have a rear right axle beam problem giving knocking sound intermittently over rough road of which Honda SA agree and they are replacing that part which is under warranty. Not sure if the new 2021 city will have the same problem.
So many buyers regret buying the low quality City. Low quality windscreen, lousy paint, bad nvh, lousy steering rack, recycle plastic type of door trims..just to cut short, it was worst.
I got Almera top options in Thailand three month earlier, it cost 635,000 Th baht. The handling is good.
The performance feeling like a 1.8 Toyota Altis that launched in 2010s.
Does it have any problem driving uphill?
@@rjlobitos2510 not at all.
Hi, can you guys review Vios 2021 as well? Would be interesting to see Vios, City &Almera in B segment sedan comparison.
Almera vlt lagi bagus dari city v..vios 2021 spec g lg bagus dari almera vlp spec..almera spec vl menang antara vios j,city e👌😊
GC Mah should be in every videos! haha
This was so good
Watching from philippines here. Hope they release the new almera here!
Already tested on edsa road. I think Nissan PH will release the all new this year
It will be more famous fabulous for both of you guys if doing reviews drag race and handling between the model segment : city, almera, vios, persona, myvi....etc. Go2 autobuzzz.....guys.
GC Mah, itu jam sudah boleh tukar. Samsung S3 galaxy watch right? hehe
Watching almost all the reviews about the almera and no one mentioned about the sport mode. I want to watch the drag race with the almera on sport mode.
Drag race please!! Include vios as well!
When I test-drove the Almera before, the few things that stood out immediately were: 1) It's so quiet. It doesn't have the standard and annoying CVT sound (mengaung). When the car took off, I almost couldn't hear any engine sound. Nice 2) When it took off, it did it SO effortlessly. The force that pulled the car was so meaty and instant. I never had that feeling driving other cars 3) Very nice seat with extra thigh support. Better than previous Almera. I also saw in other review where the car was driven to 120km/h but the rpm was only 2000rpm. So impressive
This not a race car ..
tapi katanya Almari bising bunyi atap zink masa hujan.
@@clip012 Yang model lama betul, ada bising sikit. Yang baru kata mereka Sudah improve czcams.com/video/kwC1MQvFhK4/video.html
Where's Vios GRS in-depth review?
Please do a drag race and include the vios as well.....
Drag it with Vios as well. Let’s see who will win. Btw, kind of eager to wait for drag race on SUV, Ativa and other SUV
Drag race, between City, Almera & Vios please.
Almera will still win on acceleration
someone just did. almera wins if mazda 2 not included
@@jackluffylaralola6357 thats a biased video deliberately to promote persona
@@mahchunteng9434 yup but still lose drag kan. haha lupa dah
Almeera will win by a narrow margin, followed by City and lastly the vios. Vios is never a car meant for strong acceleration. I own a 2009 vios and a 2019 City. Comparing the two, City beat the 2009 Vios in literally all aspect - acceleration, handling, cabin space and quietness. I don't know about the new Vios, maybe it's better than the 2019 or 2021 city.
don't change the camera frequently. poor eu jin must put on and off his spectacle XD
drag race is a must 😍
The Almera wins...on merit of its turbocharged engine and better refinement.
And improve reliability and quality including gearbox compare to Honda City.
How do you say reliability when Almera 3 cyl. 1.0 turbo is newly launch. ? Nonsense
@@muhdahmadirfan1691 good luck with the Jatco cvt
@@azrulahmad4253 But New Xtronic CVT with D-Step Logic (Jatco CVT) improves more on refinement and smoother. So shouldn’t have any issues at all compare to previous Almera.
@@metzmatu8409 it improves on refinement which X-Tronic upgrades to new level with using D-Step Tronic to make more smoother. Almera turbo engine gets from GT-R Technology that produces bore coating cylinder liner that provides better heat conduction, enhanced cooling performance and less engine knocking.
Pls do the drag race between this 2 car
Let's go for Almera ..
Is it just me or I think 12V socket is more versatile as you can just put USB charging adapter if you want a charger? Some of the adapters even got 3 USB ports so I think 12V sockets are way better to have than a single USB port
12v socket u can get those with quick charge or fast charging, original usb usually do 10watt max charging which is damn slow by today standard
Agree
Love to see H City, N Almera, T vios and Mazda 2 on a drag race
Love almera turbo 😍 so pickup n quite engine
This new almera 👍👍👍, that turbo kick good.
i think autobuzz had forgotten to try a drag race between this two cars
Great video as always. But I think after the first drive, it'll be great if y'all then switch cars for both reviewers' opinions 😉
Interesting approach! Thanks for the constructive feedback bro...will definitely keep this in mind for the next one...
@@eujinpan I mean switch only for the drive part, not the entire review haha.. I'm sure both WOULD have driven both cars, but the opinions on video would be nice. Anytime bro! 😊
We called the New City Honda Saga..
Hahaha
Actually the 2021 city interior look cheap and simple when compared to the 2019 city.
Ohhh realy.. Hmmm.. Honda seems to be moving backwards with their design lahh
Good job autobuzz...
Wish i could have a shirt of autobuzz "its cool"
You can get it on autobuzz.shop :)
8:14 - doesn't the Almera get front and rear dashcams as an option too? But yeah the lack of Android Auto is a huge letdown.
Well, it is not officially made available by Google themselves, not even VW HUs have it. Though the headunit is not made on android platform does mean it will forever not be able to have it.
the sales of new City vs new Almera is 9:1 ? in my city area, i could see many City everyday, but i could only see few Almera in a week.
Top spec is 90k, it’s too expensive compared to the competition. People are sensitive about the price in this segment, even with the good design is not worth it
Me an almera supporter for this generation!
The best video
Congratulations
This one is so entertaining
Pls do City RS comparison
I'm waiting for the drag race
Which car gives better driving feeling?
Both cars are great....at the end , its depend to individual taste........
YASSS DRAG RACE PLSS, INCLUDE VIOS, AS WELL
I think the Almera should’ve been priced much more competitively or have better specs, this is very price sensitive segment. Even with the nicer design, it’s not worth it for most people. Plus the top spec Proton X50 is only 10k more with all the latest bells and whistles
i like to see comparison review... need to have guts to make it in malaysia.
The city in India does get a part digital cluster like in the newer Civic
when the drag race will start ?
Almera more proportionate design compared to City, City seems forcing it to be stylish
Can do Vios and Almera video ?
This is very good comparison? however just wondering why most of EuJin's sentences always ends with a question mark intonation?
Looking fast without actually moving was Civic FD2 design concept... =D
How about the handling? Which 1 is better. Coz I know lots Honda model will fail at corner area. Handling totally out😏😏. Even Civic FD also hve d same problem
Should have included vios for the comparison
Different 5000 , city will be the best choice , I can use the 5000 to get the body kit and make some safety improvement like ultra racing for install .
Ops , I the city v spec owner.
U need the ultra racing bar for sure as city will feel like sitting on a boat when reaching higher speed
Almera tak perlu paddle shift.. Tekan minyak terus pergi.. Guna kick paddle pun dah rasa feel awesome.. Tp Almera tetap ada Drive Sport untuk pemanduan lebih sporty dan Almera Turbo 2021 sudah ada dash cam depan belakang
Ada paddle shift lagi best..😆😆
gear manual lagi best....tapi jln jem krem kaki...😂😂
Waiting for honda city rs i-mmd~
i want almera
Not sure if you guys can help me , i wonder if the Almera 1.0 is in Philippines
The content is ok but Im not feel good with the video filter.. Its make the video not sharp.. Better without filter..
which of these two cars is more comfort and nice to drive for long trip ??
and are these car can support our lumbar?
no need to reply... after they explain about remote engine start, I decided to close the video... it's all done,,, DONE... city WIN
Please do the moose test
Drag race. Yes!
The Nissan is getting better
🙏drag race almera,city,vios,mazda2 together.
