all car manufacturers have their problems. the problem lies with mass production and QC/QA standards. unless you are talking about supercars

next time if this senario happens, u can press the start button twice without stepping on the brake
this is trigger the on mode, hence allowing u to press ur brake with assist.
then once everything is good only u press the brake and press start
u can always go from acc, on then start engine
acc and on mode can be achieve by pressing the start button without pressing the brake

cheers
*
erm not true, even u have pressed the power start button twice, the brakes would still be stiff. this is not about the brake assist kicking in or not , it is because there's no more vacuum in the brakes

more info from the link above or search via google. hope this helps

Nice piece of info...thumbup.gif...have to take note of all this....sweat.gif..and train my wife also...you know woman+cars=trouble.

btw, got question...so this press start thingy, no keys to bypass with a manual lock and key?? Because i think some cars got keys to bypass.
*
but actually we should be pressing the start button twice before pressing brake and start the engine. it is better for the system as they perform system checking etc etc. i know most people just press the brakes and start the engine directly

Nice lisy of stuff...Honda will probably try to void your warranty if neede be...hehe
Btw, why do we need that side folding mirror relay thing? Is it we need to manually flick a switch to retract the side mirrors?
*
yes, but not sure whether S or S+ has retractable side mirrors or not

Hi Matrix, had tried to test drive Toyota Altis 1.8E and I realised this car also have some minor issue. Front Passenger and Driver Side Windows have rattling sound, is annoying. But interior space is wider compare to Honda City but left behind a lot of good features such as Cruise Control, Hill Start Assist, Vehicle Stability Assist and Etc. In terms of their Fabric Seat, it is also not as comfortable as Honda City and Honda Civic.
*
and the altis is a C seg car. priced at 20k more expensive than the City. if u were to get the altis. the high range 1 is the one to take. but if u buy that you can take low range honda accord tongue.gif

Hi RedDevils88, my budget only can stretch up to RM120k. If I got extra RM20k ++, I had booked Honda Accord 2.0 VTI-L. Honda City is a good car, but heard from previous owners from Honda City they have encounter issue with Gearbox, Sterling rack faulty and etc which is cost RM2K and above...this issue is worrying me as next year GST imposed will be another additional cost have to come out from our wallet...
*
what about Kia Cerato 2.0? IMHO, the altis 1.8 isn't worth the money, it doesn't have all the safety features that a modern car requires in today's market, and you are paying RM11xK for a car that has no features in terms of gadgets and safety inside. m2c

IMHO,

you should off BOTH fan and AC before you off the engine, so the next time you start your car, it won't strain your battery.
*
but for V spec, i think switching off the Air Con will do. i am not sure. need to check again

I've just tested my colleague's new Vspec - 2day old(in comparison to my 2013 City)

- steering is lighter, feel a bit odd with it.lack of tactile response. Prefer the older gen.
- CVT is smooth, this is definitely a plus. acceleration is gradual and power delivery is there (1st time driving CVT) . that is a BIG improvement over my current 5AT right. no jerks , shocks
- i felt the riding is stiffer than previous gen. (not sure if the tyre pressures are right, but it should be coming in new from sales room)
- the banging door test solid feel - goes to the older gen
- legroom is definitely longer, but i felt the lack of hip support compared to the previous gen.
- back seats are similarly narrow as the previous gen. 3 normally built adults ain't comfortable

well, that's my 15mins of test driving
*
the steering actually gets heavier when you are on higher speeds. try again and see tongue.gif

Ok. Thanks...btw, how does the Hill Assist thingy works?

I have also asked around the price for Advan db tyre...one seller quote me Rm288 for 195/55/R15. Ok price or not?
*
HSA will kick in if you are on a slope of more than 30 degrees if not mistaken, just a steep slope. you step on brake, then the car will hold for 2 -3 sec to give u time to step on the pedal.

As I mention earlier, before collect a new car, have to highlight to them the issue that happen such as dashboard gap and etc in which you all keep on rushing for the car and end up getting a problematic car.
*
complained dy also useless. unless you reject the car and wait for them to rectify everything and send the car back to you. and who knows how many months u gotta wait. just send to any SC and have them solve the problems for u

Hi RedDevils88, this is what I plan to do in which when SA called us to sign for loan agreement, make sure go onsite to pinpoint the problem with the car and let them rectify the issue first before collect the car. If possible, test drive for it and ensure no rattling sound before sign the loan agreement.
*
u sign the loan agreement 1 week before the collection and arrival of the car. how can u even get the car if u haven't signed the loan agreement?

if you were to reject the car, they will have the car sent back to Melaka and ask them to rectify the problems for you. you won't be getting a new car as the chasis and engine number would have been registered under your name. so good luck with that.

Hi Team, a good tips for those of you have not collect the car and not rush for the receive of the car. Make sure during the time you want to sign for the loan agreement while the car is arrive on the store, make sure complaint to them the dashboard gap issue, armrest not in centre, right passenger mud flap not secure properly, foldable mirror not in same speed and rattling sound when the windows winding up. It is important to send this message to their top management to do something rather than keep on giving customer a problematic car.
*
brother, i think this tip is not relevant. you have to sign the loan agreement before the car arrives at your showroom. i signed mine 1 week before i collect my car. you DO NOT sign the loan agreement on the day you receive your car.

just a friendly reminder. smile.gif

where did you see us complaining about the car? i think there are more positives than negatives in this thread.

unless you are talking about the facebook group which goes by the name of Honda City 2014 Malaysia Complaining and Advertising Club
