Really enjoy driving this car... a lot of good comments given by my passengers. My family proud owner of one PMM E-spec, BKY plate.

So far only felt floating feeling at 130+km/h but I don't drive that speed most of the time. Just wanted to go PJ from Klang in <10 mins.

Some IDIOTIC Atos driver went straight on the turning lane instead of turning and lightly knocked me. Bumper was slightly out but I knocked it back and polished most of the scratches away. But it's amazing how stupid some people can be.

Happens to me too, but the smell only stays for few seconds. then no more. I wonder why got such smell..  shocking.gif

SC said 'normal for City' blink.gif Then they said don't use air freshener. The 'oil will clog the filter'. Previously I put that pine tree thing hang from the mirror. I use in my Wira SE no problems punya hmm.gif

But there were left stocks in Malaysia plant for small parts. Of coz they wanna clear that off first before introducing the facelifted. That is why you can see Thai intro the FL earlier than MY

And also you can try browse to Honda Malaysia webbie, they stopped the lower spec City and focus on the higher spec for clearance.

The new Modulo kit looks good. Very different unlike the current one we have. Finally a spoiler that looks good besides the ducktail. I was expecting more Civic look for the front grille after seeing the new Insight on the road.

Ooo damn pissed off now. Some psycho in SS2 scratched my mum's City and her colleague's Myvi with a key. Driver side door and passenger door kena. Auto-Spa paint cannot cover because the scratch is so deep.

Geram now. Which detailing shop can wet sand and compound them out?

Your mom double park is it? People don't simply scratch a person's car without a reason.

It is diagonally parked, in front of Maybank. How to block people?? And she goes to work in the morning when there are very few cars there. Then the car doesn't move until 6 something.

using that method on a manual yes... auto i seldom try also...

Engine brake all the time on a manual, which is almost every day. Driving the City like that when I drive it is quite a bumpy ride tongue.gif

What I mean by engine brake is release accelerator, not going through the gears to slow the car down.

Guys, I have few questions about the latest FL city.

Does its driver's window has auto-go-up function? (I used to drive local car which it doesnt have =( )
Does the information display between the meters show the average FC?

Honda city has a lot of body rolls or minimal when cornering?
How is the sound insulation during high speed driving? Eg. Like driving around 120-150km/h will be noisy?

Thank you!

Pre-FL City has the auto-go-up window for driver side so FL should have. Yes it does, it calculates based on trip. If you reset trip, the average also resets.

Umm... compared to my other car with anti-roll bars and a lower stature, yes. Compared to more normal stock cars, I can't say. 120-150km/h can get noisy, wind noise and all. 140km/h on the way back from Klang on the NKVE and it has a whistling noise...
