Yeah, there is aftermarket unit - DVD, CD/MP3, GPS, reverse camera 4-in-1 for above RM1.5K.

Sorry, errr... have to rant and vent my fury here even though the current topic is the new FL City. My car just got the wiper rubber caps stolen. That must be the work of a f**k-tard ***** uneducated ass hole...

If you're single and live in the city, perhaps around RM4K/mth income level should be comfy with the fuel, toll and service. Just an estimate dude... don't shoot me pls also! hehehehe

Should be ok, then again, I have to stress out on how you do your personal budgeting and if you have any other financing commitments like housing loan, high-maintenance gf and such... hehehe

Gals monthly requirements on shoes, dress, handbags, skincare and cosmetics can sum up to more than your maintenance service on your HC you know

I went to the launch event in Cheras, Wegro Honda just now. Here's summary for you folks:
New FL HC:
- VSA vehicle stablility assist - drawback, earlier brake pad wears
- Thicker glass and floor carpeting - better noise isolation
- No more stain-repellent fabric seats, new fabric design, new carpet design
- No more reclining seats on the rear row
- New design bumpers and rear combo lights cluster
- New front grille and internal chrome accents like door levers, knobs etc.
- Door lock button on driver's door
- New instrument panel light color
- Econ lights between 60~100 km/h
- 5 year unlimited miles warranty
- 1.5 times FOC service. The second time, you have to start paying for consumables already like oil, gasket and seals
- Increase of nearly RM1K in price

Not sure, slipped my mind to ask about that. Too excited coz about to hop in Jazz Hybrid for a test drive.

Added on June 21, 2012, 10:14 amQuite a bit of extras for rear seat occupants. Source: Paul Tan blog.

Rear centre seat now has head-rest, 3-point seat belt, ISOFIX points for baby/child seat.
Oh yeah, new rims design too, same size though.

Still, new owners will not know what they're missing - the rear recline-able seats are really comfy...

Pre-FL models both E and S doesn't have VSA. Only models in Australia has been having VSA all along.

Hi all Sifus here! With regards to some pictures shown on the previous page of springs being installed at the trunk, what are those springs anyway? And what purpose do they serve? Thanks!

Thanks, enlightened again...

How about January 2011?

At 140 km/h on 5th gear, it's at 3000 rpm.
Yes, should be lower RPM than regular 4 speed AT.

Yes again, there's an impact on FC (when upshift too early) and can be observed on the vacuum FC meter gauge on the dash. Paddles shift works quite like manual but it has its safeguard electronics in place so that you won't go over-revving.

I find in D mode, shifting up is fast (at lower RPM) rather than my preference (in mnaual mode) at higher RPM (for more acceleration). Shifting up early is good for FC if you prefer gradual acceleration.

Just want to report that the new SMO-W20 semi-synthetic oil recommended by the SC was working great and results in improved FC as claimed...

Got that voucher. Fully synthetic as explained to me is more for performance. The semi-synthetic blend is to optimize FC. Fully synthetic very hurtful to wallet. If Honda puts my City on 10000 km service interval, then it might be worth it. Otherwise...

---

Added on August 9, 2012, 7:43 amThat's normal. Congrats by the way, it's a great car!

Oh a few things on new units:
1) Get your boot alarm trigger armed.
2) Get auto-door-lock installed.

Could be the starter or the battery causing problem. Easiest is to bring to any nearby shop and do a battery load test.

---

Added on August 10, 2012, 6:55 amYeah, you're right. I referred to an article in previous issue of With Dreams Honda magazine about this oil. Guess I got 'connned' by the SC stating it was semi-synthetic so they can push the sale through me. After the warranty period of 3 years, and if I feed my City with full-synth, I guess I would push for 10,000 km service interval too.

After first 1000km, things should settle and perhaps can see 400km on a tankful (42 ltrs).

Added on August 10, 2012, 6:06 pmReduced to 30 psi? Careful there. Front should be 32 psi and rear 30 psi. Under-inflated tires leads to bad FC.

Added on August 10, 2012, 6:09 pmBattery - outside shop perhaps. Got more options/choices and better yet - pick a maintenance-free battery! Just stand and witness the load test voltage reading yourself (avoid kena conned laa).

I vouch for Honda Imavest in Sungai Long. Been with them 3 times, 50 minutes flat and I am outta there!!!

On a note to all interested with tinting, better to know someone related in the business because 95% of the cost is pure profit to cover labour. Tint film material cost next to nothing. So if you know someone, the discount can be really really STEEP!

No hard braking too during break-in. But of course, if you need to avoid accident, so be it...

I guess Honda Malaysia finally realized after the Port Klang photos of all the stacked up stolen City ready to be shipped out!

Yeah, Honda has fully-synthetic SM0-W20 engine oil. Not bad, using it now but pricey. Can see slightly improved FC.
