Hi guys have a question on the aftermarket autolock thingy. Does it mean the door will lock after we press the brake pedal?

What abt the original one that come with car? My prev gen city will only lock after travelling a short distance, same goes with NHC?
*
yes, it will lock when u first hit the brake.

the previous gen is not locked by distance, but when u hit 20km/h, it will then lock. the NHC doesnt equip with function.

Damn, my right front tire has a bulge on it. According to the tyre shop, need to change.

Anybody knows what tyre choices are good? Especially those with low road noise. As I understand it, our nhc tyre with a size of 185/R5516 is difficult to find.  sad.gif

I was recommended Bridgestone 195/R5516 for RM350 each! (not too sure what model, I think Turanza)  rclxub.gif
*
yeah, pregnant tyre is not recommended to be used anymore unless it is very insignificant.
with 350 bucks, u have variety of choices, u can try searching in HC3, they have thread discussing about tyres.
like what the above forumer posted, i think yokohama is a good choice, can try broadening it to 205/55/16 instead.

hi all

i posted back in nov bout a empty tin can noise when turning on uneven road....it was recently resolved by the SC

apparently the culprit was the metal bar that the horn resides on......they placed a washer and tightened the nuts...and the sound is currently gone....

so just as a reference to all...in case u face similar problem....that could be the source =)

thanks!

been driving this car for a year plus, honestly i am not really satisfied with it.
especially the sluggish gearbox. somehow i think honda make the car change gear too soon and it slows down the whole car.
and i dont think doing that will save more fuel lo cause i tend to press the pedal even harder. hahahhahahahhaa

fuel consuption sucks la, just like driving my old myvi. not much of a difference.
it is true that highway driving got better fuel consumption, but dun expect too much if the highway is those mountain area as ur will constantly need to accelerate to go uphill and that itself sucks a lot of fuel. unless u tell me u drive a lot on those city area highways which are mostly "flat"

for me, i use MEX (kl/putrajaya highway) to work everyday. the road is going uphill and downhill constantly, my fuel consumption is not very good lo. about 400km+ nia. but probably also because i drive 150-170km/h all the time
*
ofcuz u consume alot of fuel when u drive above 140kmh lar duh...
i think the gear ratio has bit of limitation too...

1) acceleration is not good for this car. ivtec only kicks in after 4.5k rpm.
2) soundproof is so-so only.
3) performance is not good if you are doing mostly city cause car is slow to accelerate. But at speed after 60km/h, this car is nice and FC also good at high speed. This car is more suited for highway.
4) Moderate FC only. Around 350km/h for city driving and 500km/h for highway. Full tank is around 32L-33L

Having said that, as owner of this car, I am quite satisfied with it. Cause I am no ahbengs that want to race my car or like to accelerate fast during traffic jams. This car is very nice to drive at cruising speed of around 80-100km/h. The quality of honda is definitely there compared to p1 or p2. Really depends on your requirement.
*
kind of agree with you,

1.) acceleration is so-so only.
2.) sounproff is not really good also.
3.) performance is very good after 2nd gear (at least to myself) engine is very responsive for that. from standstill? not really that good unless u floor the pedal.
4.) My full tank gets me around 430km city drive, and mind you, my usage is thru and return PJ - KL via federal highway during peak hours. can easily do 500km for highway drive. I think FC is depending on many factors like conditions and most impotantly your driving pattern. if u have a heavy right foot, then how are u going to save alot of fuel to be consumed for sure???

hi there, some F*cker tried to carjack my boot on new yr n now i cant put my keys in the boot keyhole. anyone know to price of the keyhole n do i need to go to honda service center or anywhere will do..?tq..=) btw..happy new yr!!
*
u can try to visit HC3 website, and there is a dedicated boot release thread there discussing this issue. most of them who got highjacked will not install the original keyhole or something because those fella can always do the same to your boot again. most of them will just get a new number plate and cover the hole, then just use the lever to open it OR install the boot release where u can open the boot with your remote key.

Should I wait until facelift? I think 2011, Honda City will get a facelift, no?
And if there is a facelift, will there be a change in the specs?
*
u can wait if u're not rushing or in hurry getting a car. usually a japanese car will introduce facelift model in about 3 years from the car first introduced. but there wouldnt be any changes in specs as it is "Facelift". it means only minor change and mostly is cosmetic look or u can call it as beautification.
