Coz if u notice all Honda, from City to Accord, noisier on highway. Especially road/tyre noise. U can try a layer of dynamat on the floor and wheel arch.

Hi I'm concerned that because of the 1.3L engine, will it feel as though the car is being "push to it's limit" when you're driving at 110-130kmph on the highway?

110-130km/h? feels like cruising speed  only feels like pushing the limit on 150-160km/h onwards i guess.

Hi all, i jz got my insight for a week. i drive mostly on ECO mode. Thus the idle stop mode will get activated quite easily. this has increase the amount of start up.
my concern is - will this speed up the engine wear n tear since the engine wear n tear happen the most during engine start up process.
pls advice. thkssss!!

its not a flaw, it is a feature  The engine is designed to incorporate this autostop feature

QUOTE(xtrabite @ Jan 26 2012, 03:07 PM)  more reason to change to HID... quoted from honda japan website (translated by google) the real challenge is how to make our car more OEM-look with current aftermarket part...  Anybody here changed to HID, how's the headlamp casing? Any meltdown? Also share what HID brand u're using.
