Stock CPC2 is quite noisy.
You may consider Yokohama Avan dB V551.
Will change mine to 205/50R16 next year

Hmm is it okay to engine brake by downshift using 7speed cvt mode when slowing down while pressing brake pedal. I did that cos it made car slow down faster and less hard work to be down by the brake.

Bro, better u use the brake than downshifting, unless you are racing or something. Gearbox will cost a bomb to repair if anything happen. This is not manual car and honda CVT gearbox are known to be quite sensitive.

okay thanks bro. Luckly i only did that few time before posting here

I somewhat enjoyed driving this particular gen city than the later gen prior to the current city. Handling of this old city feel more solid than gth gen city. 5th gen city tend to be floaty around corner at highspeed but its more refine than 3rd gen city. I not sure if this is true

Dad driving old skool city 1.3 with 5 speed gear box, apparently tat the last gen with independent rear suspension? Can anyone confirm it?

Never heard of this model from Yokohama ... how much roughly per piece?

Any size lower than 205? like say 195?

To bring this up,

I've contacted MSIG (HIP) and the lowest coverage they can go is rm75k, which is around RM22xx premium. One can opt to cover lower eg; 65k,70k, but you have to fill in the form and send it back. Since 70k coverage is around RM20xx, and with NCD 55%, it comes to less than RM100 difference, i decided to stick with 75k

Bro, is this your first car or first car insurance renewal?

basically you can insure whatever amount you want ...

and you try not to over insure or under insure your vehicle ...

you must also take into consideration your renewal period ... for example your car is a 2010, you are renewing in 2014, for 2014's price lets say its selling average 50k in mudah - this is the amount you want to insure ... plus minus 2-3k.

now if you rewnew 2014, but say in november(end of the year) you should actually insure it based on 2015's price ... not 2014 ... as you have only 2 months usage in 2014 and 10 months in 2015... so you should deduct say another few k further ...

no point paying more when they will not compensate you that much nor should you under insure as when shit happens they will not cover you entirely ...

Hi, are u using the fully synth oil 0 - 20 W recommended by SC.

Well, I using also, but dont seems to give me better FC. RM60 gives me 350 km only

the oil in the engine is suppose to protect your engine ... you get better mileage and kills the engine long run ... 0w20 is just too thin to my opinion ... stick to 30 - 40

i am using liqui moly semi 10w40

Guys, why are u all having so good FC? My 2013 City can barely hit 11km/l. Im on fully-synthetic aswell but usually rm50 petrol can last less than 250km only. Mostly lurking around pj and bangsar area 80% town driving 20% highway.

dude your dirivng style is totally the other way around form the guy above who mentioned he does 450+km on a single tank ... he does 70 or 80% highway and you do the other way around ...

start stop driving will really eat up your petrol ...

and towards end of your service lifecycle ... enf od 5k or 10k interval, the car will also give you less mileage ...

So based on your mentioned is,
-fully 0w20 is for better mileage but not good on engine?
-Semi 10w40 is better for engine but not good in mileage?

Perhaps can try for Semi on next service ?

exactly, for me, i'm around 70-80% high speed, thus avg 16km/l ..

I tried the most expensive SL 5W40 (Fully-Synthetic) and so-called fuel saving SM 0W-20(Fully-Synthetic) engine oil.

For 5W40, the performance is good, but suck petrol like drinking water.
For 0W-20, the FC is improved, but very poor pick-up

Now I'm happly using SM 5W30 (Semi-Synthetic) with acceptable performance and FC, with the combination of Caltex RON 95

Just sharing, last night my NHC get bump into a big hole..(shit Malaysia road). and bocor immediately..went few tyre shop today , all don't have the stock tyre size. end up I change to 195/50/R16 as recommended by the tyre shop owner.

Toyo - RM400/pcs. changed 2 tyres. damage RM 800. wallet bleeding. by the way, is that expensive? my location Sabah..

I've tried both as well. I do agree that the:
5W40 - good protection but the FC does drink up a lot
0W20 - FC did improve, felt much better acceleration but when the engine is hot especially in the afternoon, it's sluggish and driving 120km on the highway for a while, it tends to be sluggish.

Still the best is the semi-synthetic at 5W30. I am going to the SC tomorrow to change my oil (though I still have 3000k for my next servicing) to replace my 0W20 to the semi.
