Keemapoot >** oh yeah, I forgot. Honda did something totally stupid with the SV too. They only have the radio and IPOD connection, no CD player. On my model the CD player also has an IPOD connection so I'm not sure what they hel_l they are thinking by doing that to the top model.

I am assuming you talk about the City because my 15 month old Jazz SV has not only CD and Ipod connection but an USB input, which is brilliant. I have permanently plugged in a 16 Gb USB memory stick, which houses hundreds of albums. CD is a car is old technology, messy to work.
Very happy with my Jazz, the adjustable chair makes it very comfortable to get in and out of, Spacey boot, folddown versatility, great around town, fine at rasoable speeds on the open road (I don't need to do over 140 at any time).
In short, brilliant car.

Kees5, yes, my point was that the SV did not have a CD player+IPOD+mp3. The lower models have all 3. Therefore, the SV is lacking. Speakers etc., seem to be the same on all models. I agree CDs are legacy, but most people still use them at the same time.

Sorry for not reading all the posts...I just jumped to the end.
As far as I know, you buy a Jazz for your teenage daughter and the hairdresser 'down the road' drives a city. So, the answer to your question is quite easy...do you have a teenage daughter or do you fancy the hairdresser down the road? #80

CD's are/are on the verge of being extinct, old timer technology.

Visited the Honda dealer in Hua Hin just to look but ended up buying a Honda City SV!
Like yours, Keema, I changed the frontgrill and got the skirtsets and dark shaded windows. Got another steering wheel for it as well and parking sensors for the missy. Maybe some more things. Don't remember  I think it will look very nice. Have to wait until dec/jan though as I got a white one which doesn't arrive until then. Maybe thats a 2010 model then?A bit annoying with the lack of cd-player however. Converting old cd's to mp3 and put them on ipod or usb-stick is a bit stretching if you ask me. The mp3s on computer are not sorted and labeled in a good way to make it easy to play what I want to hear. However, if I may ask, maybe this is solved in a good way: If you have subfolders on your usb-stick or have play lists in your ipod, are they manageable from the control unit in the car in a good way? #82

This whole MP3 thing is fine and good assuming everybody has a Nano with all their songs constantly updated. In reality, your Thai wife or partner probably is used to CDs or MP3s on CD discs. If you're anything like us, it's a hodgepodge of CDs, MP3s, Nano, which is not updated, etc.. And, unless everyone in your family has the same musical tastes, you can't get around having a CD player.
Insist that the dealer put one in for you. The SV really missed the boat on that one. #83

The dealer seemed rather reluctant to put in a Cd instead so I took it as it couldn't be done but I wasn't very persuasive as the missy for some reason likes the idea of an Ipod in the car
 Ah well, either way it will be fine I guess. When her family visits and go in the car I don't expect to listen to my music anyway and other days she let me listen to whatever I want as she books the tv during some soap operas and music shows and we usually go to a place once or twice a week with a really good live thai band so guess we can continue taking turns How's your car doing, Keema? =) #84

^The car is great. I bought it for my wife, as I have my own toys, but I like to drive it now too. It does not have a small car feel for some reason, though it is easy to park etc... Tell your wife she can still use an IPOD with the CD player they put in. You may have to have the player put in aftermarket though I guess.

Just ordered a City S AT (2-3 months wait at Hua Hin) but was torn between the S and the V as I really wanted the adjustable driver's seat. I can still change my mind, but 45,000 baht is a hefty lump extra though when I only wanted the seat as an extra. Can an adjustable driver's seat be bought aftermarket?
Also would have loved the foldable rear seats too. Guess if I'm going to have what I want, what I really really want, I just need to swallow it and get the wedge out, but that's 120,000 worth of wedge to sit a bit higher and carry a bit of of oversized "stuff" once in a while  . On the plus, not having the extra capacity may put friends off asking me to move house for them .

i bought the new city sv in june,got it from the honda dealer at ekami bangkok,i had to buy it cash didnt think i would get finance on it but never looked in to it either.did the usual asked for discount,5000 baht or i could have free extras.i got
new honda over mats tinted windows rear parking sensors light up stainless steel sill protectors,says city in blue light leather seats big plactic boot tray i also had the full modulo honda body kit and wheels put on and the sat nav(full english as well)dvd fitted helps me go anywhere. love the car loads of room in it.paddle shift is great,mine has the centre arm rest,lifts up for storage. anyway what gets me is when i picked the car up in the boot was the complete centre console with the original cd etc,the original wheels all boxed up and the front grill they replaced with the new one,couldnt believe it.that would never happen in the uk,i only paid an extra 3000 each for the wheels expecting it was the upgrade price like in the uk all in all paid 800,000 for it Attached Files

I know its a moot point now as he's gone for the City (hairdresser down the road), but I vote Jazz. I've driven both for extended periods on highways and metro. The Jazz can do everything the City except carry a little less luggage. It is zippy, nimble and attractive, by comparison the City feels and looks like a tank, interior as well. I have the pickup for the luggage, the missus wants a Vios, I haven't driven it yet.

Neither are tanks, unless maybe one belonging to the Costa Rican army.
