lol do u have to go till that extent?

means, you have to fork out additional money since it's own owner's request to change the oil at SC

it depends, since the interval is 5k/3month , juz change the one that you can 'afford'

no, there are basically 3 types of oil, cheapest -> expensive, mineral,semi synthetic, fully synthetic

for me, i'll juz stick to mineral w30. unless honda changes its interval to 10k, then go for full sync

huh? change engine oil @ every 1k? or 10k u mean.. no one changes that often leh..

haha..control ur foot ..

My 4th Refuel
Petronas ~ rm65 , 500km = 16.15km/l

40% urban, 60% rural drive

Pumped Petron (esso) , instantly felt the difference, 'underpower' and power delivery is slower. car's less 'lively'. not sure if it's placebo effect

Honestly, i'm not sure if it's the placebo effect or not.
but i had good experiences using petronas on myvi, wira..and city ..

have not tried caltex, but petron seems on par with shell (which is in my bottom list)

anyone else facing intermittent AC button prob? off by itself..
mine is happening more frequently, more likely, is the mechanical fitting issue. it's annoying. will complain during 5k service

some comments after 2months driving:

a) yes, it's silent, even at times i'm not sure if i've actually started the engine
b) S spec, stock tire goodyear GT3 is relatively noisy, can't wait to change it when it's due
c) As i travel frequently back to my hometown, 20km/l is achievable. my latest drive got me 600km (brim -> low light fuel up) .So far, i find petronas suits my drive best. I'm a driver that practises ECO driving
d) sound proofing is quite good, like many, front passenger glove area has some rattling sound over certain bumps profile
e) AC is a weak on a hot day. even MAX setting coldness takes quite a while to cool down the entire cabin
f) fabric and door panels attracts alot of marks/stain
g) handbrake fitting/quality feels cheap and 'loose'. doesn't give you the impression of well fitted. am I the only one feeling it?

Yes, i'm on S specs. i did some hypermiling too...mine is calculated based on real refuel case (well almost accurate). how did u derive your figure?

For my case and experience, shell has the worst performance. car juz feels sluggish, i'm sure that's not a placebo effect. My practice, i will try to empty the tank to the max before refilling each time to have a feel on the fuel. Petronas= best power, Petron = midrange power, Shell= worst. have not tried BP/caltex

nothing, major would be 40k

My latest FC. back to my hometown (70% rural speed + 30% urban)

SHell 95, 550km / 34.5 = 15.94km/l

before the 1st service, i was having bad experience with Shell

Thus, i decided to try Shell again after my 1st service (cheapest mineral w30), and i have the same conclusion as you, more mileage at the expense of power/torque

70% , not really full highway, is the coastal road i use back to my hometown, puncak alam- kuala selangor-sekinchan-teluk intan- manjung..if one is familiar with the way. around 15-20 traffic lights total

i usually start early, around 8am. have been driving that route for past 5yrs. no summon..so far
Yes, good FC on that road, that's why on highway, 20km/l is achieveable

2014 Honda City to debut on November 25, 2013



The 2014 Honda City will make its global debut in India at 12 noon India Time on November 25 2013. That would be about 2:30pm in Malaysia on Monday, just two days from now.

SOS

again, which driving conditions? as i've shared several times, i've managed 550-600km / full tank consistently.

or rather, trying to eek more $$ from consumers

Had another run through the weekends. Driving work+ going back hometown+ jalan jalan+ back to shah alam. Avg 18.3km/l . it's doable with control footing , and off course traffic too

Yeap it will gradually improve after 2nd service, and also depending on traffic conditions and driving habits
