TS add me in, blue2th|v spec|modern steel|kl, received car a week ago, book early feb.haha

i thought it will disappear automatically after sometime, no?

i also got ~14km/l mostly go back and forth between selayang and gombak (22km) via mrr2, but one time cruise through mex highway i got 20km/l

i normally got 14-16km/l for each drive (econ mode always on), this morning got 20km/l due to less traffic (school holiday).

good to know that your car can save fuel but there's power when you need it.

there should be warning beep when drive with hand brake, she ignore that?

for me no need to sign early, i sign all documents when collect car.. means my SA good?

my fuel consumption so far... 3x full tank at ~35liter/~rm75 each so average ~15km/l for me

best that i got for one trip would be ~22km/l for ~50km along jalan ipoh, kuching, tun razak, mex highway at ~100kmh

end of my report

10k km or 6months whichever earlier, if 0km milage also need to service after 6months, if 1 week also need to service if manage to achieve 10k km mileage (if you drive back and forth between KL and India)

to make him feel better: i got mine after 3 1/2 months wait no discount (book early feb) just free 4mil security tinted

lol, adding fuel to the fire

i suggest E spec (if you have extra budget), few thousands is small price to pay for your/your family safety.

VSA is one of most important reason i'm choosing city over vios

i agree... if you said vios is overpriced. for city it's worth IMHO

i'm married with children, chose city due to space & safety

never test drive *cough* ugly *cough* almera, but from paultan comparison, city have better space

btw, i think city not yet qualified chick magnet, chick nowadays can be demanding...

i go to vios thread, i can see the owner also complaint about sound and poor NVH (similar to this thread). but even if vios is quiet as continental car also i'd still choose city for safety (VSA), it will be different if vios also offer VSC then harder for me to choose, but lower end altis also don't have VSC

you mean if the key battery run out of juice?

- from outside car you need to pull out manual key from the remote to open the door
- then disable the alarm using small button near the VSA off button (you should have the pin number when receive the car)
- then just place the no-battery remote near/touching the push start and you'd able to push the button to start the car

Anyone with spec V install leather seat? I found below and thinking whether should install or not.

Never install aftermarket leather seat covers on Honda vehicles with side airbags. Here’s why:

• The occupant position detection system (OPDS) sensors attached to the seat-back foam are calibrated to sense through the seat cover. If the cover material changes, the OPDS could malfunction or turn on the SRS indicator.

• Side airbags that deploy through the seat bolster seam are sewn with a special thread that bursts and positions the side airbag to protect the occupant. This thread isn’t available to the aftermarket, which means you must replace the seat cover whenever a side airbag deploys or a seat cover is damaged.

Some leather seat manufacturer do mention about side airbag compliance, not sure how true is that.
