when i got it, i got the SA to change it to a new piece to cover up the keyhole too ...

K&N only cost maximum RM255 here inclusive of installation
I'm sure you can get even cheaper than the price I said with those bulk orders going around in lowyat if I'm not wrong.
You can fix it by installing the boot trunk release. Which means like Earl-ku said, you'll need a new number plate to cover up the trunk with the key hole. Then your trunk can only be open from the inside or with your car keys. Your car keys will have a 3rd button to press and release the trunk

Sorry to hear about the stolen laptop though. But take it as an important lesson to not leave your laptop in your car no matter what

Congrats. Not a perfect car but you'll love it

Installed the illuminated side step over the weekend ...

Not the original design ... actually how does the original design looks like?

The boss o ordered this from wasnt there, but was ok with it so decided to go ahead and installed it ...

i can recommend u one ... around setapak

has anyone done engine wash for their car and where to do it? im thinking of doing it but scared since our car electronics are really sensitive...

Old school people would recommend you not to wash the engine bay at all ...

they recomend if its really dirty, use some degreaser and spray on those dirty area only ...

those that washes it, recomends not using the pressure pump, i wahsed mine a few times, and i noticed that wires gets peeled off and plastic bits breaking off ..

i know the temptation of having a clean engine bay ...

maybe you can try those expensive car wash ... and have them to wash it properly but gentle way ...

Yo guys! I'm a new owner of Honda City. Got it 2 months ago. Glad to be able to join u guys here.

ur car got dented? wtf! try the one in section 14 ... heard its good or the one in Old Klang Road, peringgit
section 14, or old klang road, but i stay around ampang and i go to the one in setapak - sri utama, very good service
the last i saw wat some club doing bulk at RM200 a set .. from thailand

so despite engine power,
insight has better ride quality (more comfortable) than city?

abt the same. 

but feel smoother when driving my insight 

Yeap one of the thing i hate most about the nhc is its ride quality.very very bumpy due to stiff suspensions.

Handling is great though.insight feels sliiiiightly less power than city but i like how the engine kinda switch off when u come to a halt.

Insight is a great car but i hate the door handles.feels so cheap

with such a price, i think u cannot complain much abt insight already. there is little lower spec on certain stuff to trade off for cheaper price. but i also is also compensated with better features, such as LED speedo meter, multi info display, nicer dashboard, cruise control, VSA etc while the price of it only rm8k more than city. and it is hybrid car that u save at least rm30k from tax plus u save petrol cost in long run. most importantly it is imported fully from Japan that the sound proof, quality etc are much better than thailand made models locally.

I am surprised when i start my insight, it is so easy, when turn the key super lightly the engine will be started already, and it is damn quiet that i hear very limited noise inside the car. even go out of the car, the engine is much quieter comparing to my NHC. of course NHC itself the engine sound comparing to other brand model car also considered quite quiet already. but insight is even much better this is something i am quite impressed. 

P.S. i am giving genuine comments as i owned both cars that I am making a fair comparison between two only. I love my NHC too because it is my first car in life also. 

11km/litre max for heavy traffic jam road.

feel free to do so. I am owner of both and I am comparing the two cars it is still relevant to NHC I do not find there is a prob with it at all. Ppl who are keen to know abt NHC can allow get to discuss abt the performance, quality etc as compared to other same range of car. Why can't discuss abt things such as how it fairs as compare to other same range of cars for their interest? I dun think as a intelligent NHC owner needs to just be contented from good words abt NHC and refuse to take in comments on it flaws and la kings which appeared to be such narrowed hearted

yes, u are rite, 10+km/litre is the normal FC for NHC at heavy traffic road.
