Yep... 185/55/R16 for the stock, but max you can go is 195 'cos our rim's width is 6J (unlike the normal 6.5J) hence if you put 205 it will look like a muffin (ie. bulging)
de.crystal: printed antenna is the 4.5G City whereby there isn't the mini-bee sting antenna, but just mini lines across your rear windscreen, just like your demister. |

We've got a 3G City and CRV OM too... if you're from TC you would know fooken If you don't want to be an OM, no worries.. just join the forums as a Forum Member (FM).. it's free, but of course less benefits and threads that you can access. But no restrictions on UOTT, everybody is invited..we do have to eat and drink, don't we? |

LOL I was so proud of my car on the previous petrol pump because I can reach 400km easily. So I thought the fuel efficiency of the car finally came in. But then I just got told that my friends over pumped my car and didn't tell me after that LOL.
They wanted to help, so I told them I loaded RM60 and then I went to toilet. It stopped around RM5x and they continue pumping |

QUOTE(-PuPu^ZaPruD3r- @ Nov 19 2009, 02:13 PM) Wah so terrible meh the FC of new City?? 5 gears also like this?? Sigh.. Ok not wanting to stir the bottom of the pot again iro FC issues for the NHC, I would like to say that IMHO the use of the 5AT as oppose to the CVT did affect the FC. However to also note that our "reserve tank" is huge and usually the annoying 'fuel indicator light' will come out when we still have 9l of fuel in the car.On average I can hit about 13km per litre, this is raw calculation and not the est. from the meter (50:50 - City:Highway) And usually for 33litres I can get 430km.. if you take into account the 9litres in the reserve tank, that's another 117km So in actual fact, if I had to drive it till empty.. it'll be 430 + 117 = 547km (let's say 540km) I think that's actually decent for RM75.00 Compared to my P1 Waja from before, RM90 gets me 420 - 450km?

i feel more fuel saving with RON97... but i rev a lot with it... end up similar mileage with RON95...
but of course not money saving... it's slightly higher in terms of RM/KM for RON97... however, i only tried one tank, just for sharing... so far, i only recording it down for reference.... my FC for 33 liter is around 360-390km becoz of revving... but not big issue at all wat.. even very bad FC... it's just around RM8 matter... omg... can we have lesser FC discussion here... its bored...  it's either human factor or car problem... human factor then change it... car problem then complaint to SC & Honda or put some mod on it... |

Yup, most BMW's got mechanical and electronic problems.. I got 1 friend driving M3, he said his car sure will break down at least 4 times a year... Guaranteed.. If not this problem, will be another problem.. Buy BMW, pay installment ok, maintenance very hard.. |

Well, to flog the FC dead horse again, for a person like me that does 100% city driving, I'm resigned to the fact that I'll only be able to get max 330km for a full tank of 33litres.
Not complaining though, would rather pay a little more than to be ridiculed in a dugong hehehe. Just want to know if I'm an isolated case or its a norm for people with 100% city driving. |

Very difficult to judge how close the curb is when you do a left turn and also difficult to see oncoming cars on the left. Right cornering is ALSO a problem due to blind spots. Parking is also a problem as you can't see the front of the car. I usually can't predict how many space I have left on my left Of course, that's just me driving my new city.....  |

I usually only use my paddle shifters when I'm in D-mode when I want to drop to 4th or 3rd gear to overtake a car on the highway...so that it can automatically go back up to top-gear after a few seconds naturally.It's a no-brainer to use it. Under S-mode, just think of it as a manual car and how you shift the gear. Listen to the revs and when you 'hear' the change in the pitch, then you'll know when you change |

For example, you're currently on 5th gear. Maybe when you step harder, it'll change to 4th gear. But when you shift to D3, it'll lower the gear again. I thought its the same |

Hey guys, I have a rather generic question:
When you have passengers (especially kids), they get in and out of your NHC rather carelessly, kicking everything along the way... the rear centre console cup holder, lower door panel, rear speakers, door lining, every damn thing! How do you put on the least protection on these parts to minimize scratches?  Is there like some sort of clear sticker that I can put on? Any thoughts on this? Thanks guys! |

QUOTE(sungami @ Nov 21 2009, 10:28 PM) Well, to flog the FC dead horse again, for a person like me that does 100% city driving, I'm resigned to the fact that I'll only be able to get max 330km for a full tank of 33litres. Its normal bro.Not complaining though, would rather pay a little more than to be ridiculed in a dugong hehehe. Just want to know if I'm an isolated case or its a norm for people with 100% city driving. I do 80-100% city and can get around 340-350kms last time. I finally found out the reason why. You see ,when you want the car to go faster,you press the gas HARDER correct?You do this alot especially if your in doing alot of city driving. If you do that in a Vios,the Vios will surge forward like normal and the FC will be as good as ever. But the same cannot be done in the NHC.You cannot just simply slam the pedal if you want it to go faster.You have to very VERY lightly tap the pedal and wait for the car to MOVE forward.It wont surge but it will slowly move. So once you actually get to around 60-80km/h you can slowly press a little harder making sure not to rev the engine at low speeds(<60km/h),cause by doing so,it consumes more fuel than a 1.8 car ,SERIOUSLY. Once your car hits around above 110km/h then you can press the gas like normal cars. So driving a NHC is not that simple eh.All this thanks to the DBW in our cars. I have used this technique recently and FC improved alot .Now can get around 400-420 km per RM 60 in "D" mode. The only thing is that you have to be very very PATIENT at low speeds. |

QUOTE(erictham @ Nov 23 2009, 01:36 PM) Hey guys, I have a rather generic question: ... you mean like a clear sticker to cover the rear center console cup holder, lower door panel etc etc? Unfortunately I don't know of anything of that sort in the market (there may have), but it's going to cost a bomb. But I seriously don't think you want your interior of your car to look like a Glad Wrap? It'll look awfully funny. Just teach our kid to come out of the car properly, or take off their shoes when they're in your car.. or threaten them no desserts or candy if they start to throw tantrum in the car. Usually works When you have passengers (especially kids), they get in and out of your NHC rather carelessly, kicking everything along the way... the rear centre console cup holder, lower door panel, rear speakers, door lining, every damn thing! How do you put on the least protection on these parts to minimize scratches? Is there like some sort of clear sticker that I can put on? Any thoughts on this? Thanks guys! |

There are tyre sizes for our rims already, but problem is the width of rims is 6J and not 6.5J..so most of the time if you put on 205/55/R16 it'll bulge at the side (like a muffin).. so most of the time I see people putting on 195s.The RE001 is a little expensive though... about RM400 per piece (depending on where you get it, of course) but it does fill up the wheel arch a little more and gives the car a more aggresive stance.

QUOTE(sysh @ Nov 23 2009, 03:10 PM) Yea. The Taffeta White. they wanna keep production line simple i guess.. just like the FD they abandone the maroon(no i don't know the real name).. and introduce the nice and sexy blueish gray (no i don't know the real name as well).. 5 is the max color they go mostly on all car.. if i'm not wrong.. so they have to let go the least popular color.. no offend but base on sales figure.. but this time i think BBM is a nice color.. just the fact it's still the least popular... It's lovely. But they should've just kept the BBM. 6 colours is better than 5. Oh well... the maroon(i said i don't know the name) FD bit funny lol so i'm glad ahahah...

i have got a problem.
the moment i start the car, the little dot on the radio got green flourescent colour. this is the second time this happened. last time happen, i thought the system was resetting or something, and when i push the big circle button there, everything normal again. but just now, whatever i do, nothing change. it became silent. even when i turn off the ignition and start again, the green flouresecent dot still light. anyone have ever face the same problem? ps- the dot is for one 'data connection or something', which i believe when it is reading from usb, it may light. but i never attach it to any usb. this boggles me why this happen |

Shinjite: There are alot of aftermarket exhaust system that you can attach onto the car. Most of the time people just switches the muffler at the end. Not many would modify from the exhaust header itself (cost alot). Alot of ppl recommend the N1-style shape (like the M7 or Trust Ti) type. Low bassy sound. Won't significantly enhance performance (except for sound), but it'll look nice. If you want substantial improvement, you might want to get the whole set (> RM1.5k - 2.0k for a decent one)
mokhzaini: don't quite get you. so your problem is the light is still there? does the usb function work atm? |

sysh: u notice aite, at the right handside of the ICE's little screen, there is a little square dot. whats written at the dot is something 'Read Data' or something. whenever we turn on the radio i believe the colour of the square dot should be orange or jingga.
what happen last night was, that dot turned green flourescent the moment i turn on the ignition (start the car). i didnt even turn on the radio or anything. i tried turn off the radio but it seemed hanged. not a sound whatsoever even tho i press almost all the buttons there (to see whether any of them can do any different) i turned off the ignition, pull out the key and re start again the car. again, the green flouresecent dot came out. and again not a sound from the speaker. then i press the big round button on the ICE and hold it. luckily everything went normal. normal = green flourescent dot disappear and the radio came sounding again. i tried to google but i couldnt find anything. |

Normally when I drive and need a sudden pick up, will use the 7 speed mode and lower a gear. But recently I try playing with the S mode instead, and whenever I wan to overtake, I change to S mode and amazingly the effect is almost as good. Will it harm the car by any chance?

But what I was saying is while overtaking car. Means I don't start the car at the 2nd gear. I just OVERTAKE by engaging the S mode without playing with the paddle shift. Are u saying that : 1. S mode will automatically reduce ur gear to the 3rd eventhough ur at the 7th gear? 2. there's 2 side of (-) and (+). no matter which side (left/right) i press the (-) and (+), it's the same right? 3. Can u tell me at what speed do I need to change from 1st to 2nd to 3rd..............and lastly 7th? Cause I once press the 7 speed mode without pressing the (-) and (+)... means semi auto. and see how the system change the gear for me. it's confusing. mind teaching? by the way, in D mode I can manipulize my gear a well. don't need to go S mode too.

QUOTE(mokhzaini @ Nov 28 2009, 01:35 AM) if lets say at stand still and u changed to S WITHOUT first engaging the paddle shifter, yes it will auto shift for u. but only until the third gear. i know its kinda confusing but believe me, in S mode, the difference in pick up and 'beaufitul sound' are very significant, compared to D mode. it does.. 2nd gear is a valid gear to start off.. if you go throught the manual the honda's gear box allows that to cater with the slippery road in some countries.. snow for example.. the second gear low torque will do well start off without losing traction.. so what we do or most of us do is that, after u change it to S, engage the paddle shifter. u can do this by clicking the (-), left paddle with ur finger. this, will sort of activate the paddle and u are ready to manualised ur auto after that. i click the (-) because if u click the other one (+), then it move the gear to the second gear. imagine the car getting off the way from standstill in SECOND GEAR in manual cars oso i dont do that!in fact the system is smart to tell that the first time you start off with 2nd gear... when you shift to 3rd or forth.. and then come to an complete stop.. it won't go to first.. it will stop at second cause thats what you tell the system.. that you want to following journey to start with a second gear.. unless you trigger the first gear or shift away from S.. then it start at first again.. in manual you don't do that cause you get to control the clutch.. as for how much torque you apply on current gas input.. |

Anyone try this two items on your city?? May get for my city, SGD588 included installation. Any suggestion or opinion??
 Credit card size Remote. Smart Key with Passive Keyless Entry System w Immobilizer System. Features of Smart Key The Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) System AKA Smart Key System is a new electrical product for vehicles. It is safer and more convenient for users than the traditional RKE system. The PKE system uses RFID technology, providing the highest security available. Features * Completely Passive Keyless Entry * Automatic Door Locking (Arming) * Automatic Door Unlocking (Disarming) * Vehicle Immobilization * Exhausted Battery Emergency Operation Mode * Unclosed Door Warning Main Functions 1. Passive Door Locking By simply walking over 1.5 to 2 meters away from your car, doors will automatically lock and ARM the security system. 2. Unlocks Doors Automatically As you approach your vehicle and arrive in range of 1.5 to 2 meters, the system will automatically identify the driver who has a valid access key and unlock the doors immediately. 3. Immobilizer Function The PKE system still includes an immobilizer function. It can provide the user with the most comprehensive protection against vehicle theft. Once users enter the vehicle and attempt to start it, the device will verify the driver's access key. If a valid access key is identified, the LED will turn off allowing the driver to start the vehicle. If not, the horn and lights will sound and flash an alarm, and the vehicle engine can not be started. 4. Closes Windows Automatically - Optional At the same time as locking the doors after the driver leaves, the system will automatically close any windows that are left open. 5. Exhausted Battery Emergency Operation Mode Even if the access key has low or exhausted battery power, or is damaged, it can still disarm the alarm and start the engine in a separate easy to use procedure. This function ensures the vehicle can be driven by the legitimate owner 100% of the time. Other Function: 1. Hi-classify Safety The highest level of security US made RFID core chip is used, and mutual authentication is done between the access keys and the base which installs it in vehicles, and also we used hopping code technology, making it extremely difficult to crack the access key. 2. Convenient Access Key The Access Key is very thin, only 6mm thick, and also only 2/3 of credit card size. Easy to carry, can be put it in wallet, and need not be taken out to use. Consequently it will be carried separately from other keys providing added safety and convenience.? 3. Alarm Accuracy The system will initiate alarm only when the vehicle has suffered real violation, and will not be triggered by lightning or other harmless influences. 4. Locks After First Braking The vehicle door will be locked automatically when driver step the brake at first time after engine been started. 5. Unclosed Door Alarm If driver leaves vehicle without closing a door or doors, the system will let you know with a separate open door alarm when the key leaves the contact range. Even if this alarm is ignored the car alarm will still be in effect. 6. Low Battery Reminder When the access key's battery is low, the system will automatically sound the horn and flash lights to remind the driver to replace the inexpensive and readily available battery. 7. Nullifies Frequency Jamming Devices Some thieves use frequency jamming to jam remote controls, stopping the system from arming, so they can steal the vehicle. Our system can not be jammed and avoids the possibility of such theft. Even being jammed, the doors still will be locked. 8. Stops Code Scanner Yard Sweeping Dead in it's Tracks Many thieves will use a code-scanner to sweep yards when drivers open or close vehicle doors by remote control, and copy signals to steal vehicles. The access key uses mutual authentication technology, and hopping code to avoid this.  Latest Engine Start Button System from Korea Now you can have the same push start button like Toyota Camry or Lexus IS250. There is no need to drill any holes on the dash board of your car. No ugly holes. Plus if you also install our CARSCOP 2way alarm, you don't even have to bring out your car keys. Main Function Convenience No need to carry Key, just push button for engine Start Maintain Engine start ACC-ON-OFF module shows Car’s status on view Functional High performance for Car Security Co-Working available with Smart Key or Car Alarm System Safety that button never works while Driving Easy to detach for transfer KIT to another vehicle Advantages: 1. No more keys needed to start car. You can put your car keys at home. 2. Now you can get a keyless push start button system for a low of $350 w installation. Its the lowest price OEM keyless Push start Button in the market now. No more lousy push start button which requires the car key to start the car. 3. Classy interior with this button instead of the keyhole and its also blinks blue light when engine is off. 4. No drilling of any holes inside your car unlike other brands. 5. Fully transferrable when you change car. Unlike those which will leave a big hole in your dash board. 6. Two colours to choose - Silver or Black 7. 12 mths warranty. NO modification of existing system thus will not void your car warranty. |

a RFID security system.. instead of driver requesting permission from the car.. the car is requesting passport from the driver (the card).. thats what they mean by passive right...
but it raises another security issue.. http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/01/29/0233218 not to mention a bunch of domestic issue such as.. you cant lock your car when you're standing nearby chatting with friends.. ofcourse.. the standard key raises this issue too where thieves can capture your code when you're unlocking your car.. so the point is why pay more for the same.. unless if measure it by "cool-ness".. definitely understandable hehe This post has been edited by 204: Nov 30 2009, 06:53 PM |

I think the reason to use this is for convenience purpose and usually they have certain way to lock and unlock policy. For example, they will only unlock the door when u open then main door with the sensor 1-2m near to the car. so i believe it has some mechanism to lock the door even u are stay near to the door itself.but it raises another security issue.. http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/01/29/0233218 not to mention a bunch of domestic issue such as.. you cant lock your car when you're standing nearby chatting with friends.. ofcourse.. the standard key raises this issue too where thieves can capture your code when you're unlocking your car.. so the point is why pay more for the same.. unless if measure it by "cool-ness".. definitely understandable hehe |

This is what my SA told me. Regarding the allocation or delivery still not confirmed yet because they need to retired the beige color first. |

Yea u can go to any supermarket n get Turtle Wax Scratch Remover or any other branded ones and it will do the job.Thanks a bunch! I doubt our Cities have the ASL (Auto-Speed Sound Levelizer), which detects and compensates for changes in external noise levels, adjusting volume and tone controls automatically based on the car's speed? The Vios has it though. |

 Not long ago I found out a scratch on the bottom part of my steering wheel Its not really clear in this picture though. But still loving the dashboard meters I don't know who is behind this, but its definitely not my family. Its either Honda service centre or Cars in Times Square parking Other than them, no one have ever drove my car(besides my family of course) This post has been edited by SheepMekk: Dec 12 2009, 07:36 PM |

The scratch on steering can't be removed one, and it is not really a big problem cause is at the bottom part of it.

Wat is the lowest interest loan rate for City now? My loan juz approved with 7 years - 3.1% @ Maybank but I haven's sign it yet. Y'day, my fren (buying City too) juz told me she get 2.85% - 7 years from Maybank. Should I call Maybank and ask? If really got such offer, is it I need to re-apply my loan or juz ask thm to change the rate?  |

Car interest rates are quite stagnant & don't vary much due to stiff competitions from other banks. This post has been edited by Thrust: Dec 13 2009, 10:40 AM |

The accessories are amazing, 6 airbags, keyless entry etc.. 17" rims also with better tyres than lousy City tyres...

Enjoying every bit of it, all can summarise in one word, superb, so far, no issues, only minor teething problems, bring back to SC to rectify. Partially my fault too, didnt check the car properly when take delivery (coz rushing for time, and the SA not reconmended, just explain standard stuff, not helpful, only $$$ minded, unless u r really seasoned car buyer, only interested with discount, definitely no for first time car buyer like me) |

Kia Forte seems very promising in every aspect but Kia quality record have keep us away. No saying Honda record was very good but at least better then Kia, i think. Somehow, when i saw Kia Forte at showroom for the first time, i tot it was same standard with Honda Civic. The build quality was very solid or maybe better.
Anyway, i am a satisfy Honda City driver here. |

Reroute my grounding and using bigger power cable. Here is my layout :
1 point to Engine block near alternator (default by Mr Yew) - from -ve terminal 2 points to near spark plug (1st and 3rd spark screw)- from -ve terminal 1 point to firewall - from -ve terminal 1 point to alternator (default by Mr Yew) - from -ve terminal 1 point to near intake manifold (default by Mr Yew) - from -ve terminal 1 point to gearbox (default by Mr Yew) - from -ve terminal 1 point to near end of hose from front fan donno what it call (default by Mr Yew) - from -ve terminal 1 point to engine block (front) - from BRISK EPS 3rd wire Also remove 2 Zaptor VS and leave BRISK EPS to work alone. I notice that aircond a bit colder and steering a bit lighter. Idle RPM also seems lower. Before is around 750RPM now look like lower abit around 600RPM. Conclusion i can make is that the Zaptors get in the BRISK EPS way to serve my NHC well. |

I think the OEM 16" HONDA CITY rim can support maximum 195mm width tyres only right? (Assuming we want wider tyres from the original 185mm)

Hi All,
I'm in dilemma now. Should I take the modulo BK or not? I know, it's very expensive but I not willing to install BK at outside because of the drilling part. I wish I could install a BK without any drilling to the car body. Any recommendation? Bro sysh, do you install your BK outside? how much the prince range for modulo BK? |

Yeap...hope soon I get used not the hear the "teet teet" sound when lock the car, u guys got a good points there too. But, I guess I too used to whenever after I park my car, I just walk off while pressing the alarm, without looking at the car (always imagine as if like I those hero in the movie finale, press the remote button, the car go explode, with the bad guys inside.....
)BTW, put on buzzer, got tampered with Honda wiring or not? Dont feel comfortable outside tampered with the wiring leh...then, HM simply void warranty This post has been edited by wtfoo1: Dec 17 2009, 07:01 PM |

Thanks u !Pertaining to claim amount, it all depends on ur sum insured and car value, so, if u only insured 90% car value, dont expect to can claim until 95% of your car cost. So we have to follow our market car value to buy the insurance right ? if we buy the car is 80k,after 3 years no need buy the 80k again right , because the market value is drop, but why still have many insurance company called we maintance at 80k ? thanks your info @wtfoo1 |

But, touch wood, in case u suffer total lost/ write-off of ur car, u will not get the full amount ur sum insured if ur sum insured is more than market value. For example, after 3 years, ur car market value become 70k, but, u insist insured 80k, so, if ur car write-off, u can only get max 70k, not 80k, even though u had already pay 80k worth of insurance premium. |

Hello guys,
I was told by the salesman that once I had entered the key, I need to wait for the electronic systems to be checked first (there's an orange indicator on the RPM meter). This usually takes about 5-10 seconds. But my question is, do we really have to wait for the light to go off before starting the engine? What if you need to quickly drive off that place for some urgent reason? |

I saw many people still complaining NHC FC worst... but so far my NHC after 15k milage is on 13-14KM/liter. For me it consider ok ok la. 14-15km on fully city drive...
Maybe we should ask some Vios FC for highway. My NHC highway can reach 15-16KM/L on average 140KMpH. Dono that consider ok or not... |

Thanks bro Geo7, guess let me try this cap kura kura first, really cannot, then, most probably wait till I finished all current "capalang" shampoo, wax, etc, then, I convert everything to Meguiars products
Hope that time, wallet got little bit $$$ oledi. Wahlau....kena poison kau kau oledi, UR Bar, Dynamat, now Meguiars products..... BTW, is Meguiars price standard accross all the shop? Reason coz thinking should I get from Meguiars office (which is very far from my office/ home), but, if I join HC3Msia as OM, I got discount, or just get from those big hardware shop nearby my office (Ace Hardware). Thanks. |

To answer your question (btw, disclaimer, I am still amateur here new car need to polish too??? how often do car need to polish???? , trying to learn from other expert here too, therefore, my answer might not be 100% correct, but, would greatly appreciate if someone can correct me here if I am wrong )Q1 -There is differences between polish and wax. Polish - u cut the outer layer of paint (usually ppl will only do that when the car is quite sometime, abused by environment, ie sunlights, acid rain, dust, etc which resulted the car paint not shinny anymore) with some mild abrasive wax. Polish is the opposite, u put a layer of wax to protect the paint, which usually ppl do it when they got the car. One of the most visible effects is that the rain drop on car, it will just fall off, as if like slide (Actually I use this technique to determine when I need to wax my car again). Q2 - Polish - no, wax - yes Q3 - Polish - try limit it (due to reason in Q1). Wax - as often as u like, as often as u got $$$ (if u send to others to do it for u) or depends how hardworking and how determine u want to be Karate Kid, ok, just kidding, actually it very time and energy consuming (unless of course u willing to invest in those electric polisher lah, such as Bosch, etc). I do manual, from wash to wax oso at least 3 to 4 hours. This post has been edited by wtfoo1: Dec 24 2009, 02:02 AM |

Polish is the technical terms of correction your paint - eg swirls from washing & minor defects from scratchesnew car need to polish too??? how often do car need to polish???? dont be confuse - by most Malaysian term - car polish mean ??? correct a dull & defect paint, minor scratches & wax? any car need wax - in regards whether old or new, as for this less than 2 months old but almost daily wash, improper washing techniques created lots of minor swirls & look at the light... i feel there is lots of Taboo of how to care of car - generally Malaysian dont bother much of the details of paint, as long as it is clean...just like when u eat outside , do restaurant wash the way you wash yr vegs? soak the vegs or wash away the pesticide ? they couldn't be bother about our health i m not promoting anythng, xcept brining out awareness |

QUOTE(kevin23 @ Dec 23 2009, 10:35 PM) Wait a while more bro. my NHC also got rattling sounds from the dashboard..it only happens during the night..maybe due the the contraction and expansion of the dashboard...when i press the dashboard(middle part),the sound gone n quiet d...i try to put something heavy on it but the condition bcome more worsen n sound comes out more frequently....really hate this...ask SC to fix it during 1000km service but same problem happen again....

Talk about loan, how come my loan officer never return a call to me whether my loan has been approved or not? Usually how long does it takes to get the loan approved? My Credit Rating is clean with only a credit card of 8K (prompt payment every month without "otang-otang") & I'm only taking 36K loans for 3years...
Worst part is, I lost his number ~_~ This post has been edited by Thrust: Dec 25 2009, 10:33 AM |

The Bankers will normally look at your payment records,liabilities,source of income,how long you have been in the job and a few more other aspects. Just to quote an example, I was talking to my friend who works in a Bank and there is a House buyer who applied for a loan amounting RM23K only and the property value is around RM63K, meaning the loan amount is only 30% yet the Bank rejected. The House buyer earns about 500 only but he also has other source of income(part time Job). Why rejected? Simple, Risk is too high.............

Hai guys,
Made my booking today at Global Amity Seri Kembangan. Estimated delivery date is March 2010. Got myself 2.9% interest rate from Maybank. The SA (Weicci) is cute Anyway, I still find it's hard to decided whether to choose E spec or S specs (I put S specs in the form btw). Need some pro and cons from the actual user of both specs on why they bought theirs. In term of monthly payment, of course the difference is only RM50, but what about the accessories? Really worth to take E specs or just stick to S specs? To be honest, I'm not really a "mod" guys, thus I'll just use it by default forever. Thanks |

Its something that you can't install outside. You're already paying so much for the car, might as well you pay the extra money for the full spec.

QUOTE(aarex @ Dec 30 2009, 05:47 PM) Thanks! How is ur NHC? OK? Wat tint u do for ur NHC? how much? I need to start survey for tint edi... Oh ya, u got buy the wat loan insurance? My tint is Llumar Crystal 5, if not mistaken, coz yet to received my warranty card yet. Cost me 2k plus, which I would say it fall under catergory expensive, due to this is a security film too. Heat and glare rejection, I would say excellence (seriously, not because I install it and price is high), at first, I always wonder why everytime I drive, the sky look dark, as if like going to rain, then, pray hard hard, dont rain, later realised due to my tint heheheh Oso, under hot sun, look from outside, image reflected, so outside very hard to see in. And, best of all, it JPJ compliant. I would say highly reconmended, very good products, but unfortunately it bit $$$. But, again, since I had to pay 90k for the car, what the heck additional 2k (to justify myself for it actually)Loan insurance? U mean, touchwood, if something happen to u, u no need to pay the rest of instalment and the car belong to u rite? Actually, no, coz I took company loan, so, no need. BTW, can I know how much this insurance cost u? Required by bank or the bank officer trying to sell u to earn additional income? One more thing, since u getting ur car in 2010 (I guess), make sure ur registration card state ur car is manufactured in 2010, if not, it just car registered in 2010, but, manufactured in 2009. |

But, life where got so perfect meh.... Aiyo....normal ler....majority of us, will only change car on average 5 to 6 years (sorry if this not applicable to u), some even worse, until car almost cannot become scrap (that is me....heheh ) only decide to change, so, once the deal been done, chances are the SA will never do business with u next 5 years again, oso, only if lucky u decide u change back Honda brand, not Merc, BMW, Lexus, etc. So, these ppl really short sighted, they dunno the power of internet, we can always share info on who is better, responsible SA where we all can reconmend, which one is to avoid.

He quoted me RM1300 for the tint and LockTech Pedal Lock - RM300. Errr. I think it bit weird combination, why so many different brand? V Kool Elite is the top of range (that can pass JPJ lar) in term of heat rejection, glare, etc, etc. Armorcoat? Sorry for my ignorance, is this part of v-kool brand too? Heat rejection, etc? Back, why Solar Gard? What is the heat rejection, glare, etc %? Is it ok?Just share with u on something I learned when I ask around tint shop last time, even if u tint top of range, best money can buy (i.e money not an issue) tint film oso, if u park under hot sun, ur car interior oso will be hotlike car without tint. like those car without tint. The only difference between u tint, no tint and tint better quality is that the better quality ur tints, ur car get longer to "heat" up, coz the tint block some of the heat. But, dont forget ur car roof and car door is made of metal oso and absorb heat. Oso, a better quality tint will cut down glare, so, when u drive under hot sun, especially early morning or evening, at least ur eye not so strain, while the cheapo brand, cosmetic darken window only, not much effect on glare reduction. So, conclusion, it all depends on what u want and $$$.....but, most importantly, whatever tint u do, pls make sure the workmanship is good and after sales is good. FYI, the margin of tints is very good, some said even more than 100%, even 200%, therefore, they can give u long warranty, so, if the worksmanship is no good and after sales is bad, if u need to retint back, |

QUOTE(loneboy62 @ Jan 3 2010, 11:12 PM) To all people to install this VKool Elite, in case you are not awared, basically they are combined at least 2 brands by normally if you say you need vkool elite to your SA or any of the VKool (Original) branch if your price is below RM2500. No surprise because all of vkool branches and dealers work in that way since it can get the highest profit and most important thing is the those brands are warranty by vkool company just different imported brand. Usually the combination is front and rear with vkool elite and side x 4 with solar gard. So you actually meet a good guy who tell u the truth with vkool and the price is reasonable. Yalo, he quite good and very detail explained all to me. Added on January 3, 2010, 11:13 pm double lock or single lock? locktech or locktact have to be careful also, i found one locktech + installed the break lock(auto lock) which cost me rm350, but i believe is single lock and not the double lock. Wat u mean by double lock or single lock? As for auto lock, if install at outside will void warranty wo.(The 1 i see is like below pic...)

As for auto lock, if install at outside will void warranty wo.(The 1 i see is like below pic...) Warranty void depends on your service centre bro.. if you have good relationship with SC personnel you can ask them to help out but it depends on what kind of warranty your are talking about also la.. Thus far I've not heard of anybody encountering problems with locktech on warranty problems. This post has been edited by gunn3rs: Jan 4 2010, 01:07 PM |

EDIT: is monza sport spring good? i saw someone selling for rm350. This post has been edited by dctrue: Jan 4 2010, 08:45 PM |

QUOTE(wtfoo1 @ Jan 4 2010, 06:38 PM) Same as per my SA..... when want to close sales, everything ok, when sales closed, everything not ok, but, at least u find out earlier, but, in your case, u should insist deduct downpayment, or else u threaten to see his manager to resolve. NEVER AGREE TO HIS PROPOSAL PAY U CASH AFTER U GET CAR, else, bye bye to ur discount... Yala, sometimes very angry u knw. Sure I will insist deduct the discount in my dp. If he wan to play i can play with him 1. I will direct call his manager. Manager cant solve, complain to Honda M'sia HQ. Today i juz sms him to ask him whn i can get my car. He called me and said he on-leave today (On leave again), will let me knw tmr. Juz wait and see..if he said i can't get my car b4 CNY. I will f*ck him kao kao and cancel my booking.

Overall to say, all these tinted not really help if you always expose under sun and your car will still feel hot. I'm driving mazda3 and so far satisfied with my Llumar ,but for heat protection still not good enough. For my NHC which get end of this month, i will do Llumar crystal 6 as well since i can get best price for this so go with it, no special reason... And very sorry to hear your SA bad news, my SA so far very good to me and very responsible, but mine is in PJ and not much discount also.

GAB is okay too. i also tried improve and 2-3 not- well-known brands and lastly stick to eibach. |

QUOTE(rebecks @ Jan 8 2010, 08:44 AM) It will be under the Insurance Company which has been assigned to the Honda dealer (it could be from Tokio Marine, MSIG, Berjaya Sompo, etc). Ur insurance premium calculation will be based on the sum insured of rm87k which has been set. If u purchased urself, it will be the same amount. U can pay at a lower premium if u have ur NCD from ur previous vehicle. Oic, thanks for ur advice! |

Just to further add, the insurance quoted is not including windscreen. So, depending how much you want to insure ur windscreen, be prepared to fork additional $$$
if u want to insure windscreen too. In addition, u can add in 1 driver in the insurance policy, FOC. Any additional driver, u need to pay (sorry, cannot remember how much). This, say, touchwood, someone drive ur car (non onwer) and accident, if his/ her name not in the insurance, u cannot claim insurance, coz he/ she is not authorised driver. |

After 4 months, I just started driving "S mode" fully (using the paddle on the E-series) the past few days and I must say that the feeling is much nicer in terms for throttle response. Just that there is a bit of "lag" when changing gear (a well-known "disadvantage") and the difficulty of changing gears on tight cornering.
One nice feature is that the gear will automatically go to 1st gear if you totally stop or 3rd gear if you slow down a lot, making less of a hassle to down-shift when you're at 5th gear and come to a stop. If you guys haven't tried to drive the "S mode", I recommend you try it. Should save some fuel too. (but I'm sure some of you are already driving using the "S mode")This post has been edited by kmarc: Jan 9 2010, 02:27 PM |

sifu-sifu,
they said that vTEC engine are for hard revving. Is it true? What's the logic behind it? (ignoring the fuel consumption issue of course). As long as we dont rev till the redline, it's fine right? cause vTEC are suitable for hard revving. Advance thanks for clarifying. |

Only had break lock, meant step on break pad then it will auto lock the car by the relay chip and wiring. Honda official price is RM300-RM350, i do outside, RM100, the cheapest is RM90 so far i heard, but far for me the place,somewhere near serdang.

Hi, my bro getting his city E-spec this week, just want to ask for him any tips on what/how to check when receive the car especially common issue/problem that the community know, and wat comes with the car i.e car jack; manuals, 1st aid kit,hope they dont miss out anything.
Another thing, what freebies should try to ask from the dealer? My brother didnt get any discount or freebies when he book it. Final question: what essentials should be installed later on , coz he bought it stock with nothing extra, no tint, etc. Really appreciate your feedback, guys. Thanks |
