The popularity of the Honda City — no matter the generation — cannot be denied. So it comes as a surprise to nobody that Honda Malaysia collected about 9,000 bookings within a month the sedan’s launch. Even if the Proton X50 is on everyone’s minds and tongues, Honda Malaysia would have taken in more bookings by now.

Most of the booking comes from the Central Region, making up 44 per cent of the total. People in the north succeeded in occupying 22 per cent of the booking pie while the Southerners managed only 19 per cent. Of the lot, 28 per cent of the Honda City sold are coloured in Platinum Pearl White; pictured above. What’s wrong with Passion Red Pearl? Nevertheless, 54 per cent of the total bookings received are for the full-featured V variant.

We’ve written about the Honda City and why it should be top on the list of anyone who wants a B-segment sedan. It is packed and priced to please.
