QUOTE(Skeletonman @ Oct 1 2014, 12:00 PM) How do I know whether it's 1 layer or 2 layers? When did u get ur car? When you see the car paint colour is different from car body paint, which is slightly darker due to bumper colour is black then you may know it is thin layer of paint being apply. If the colour is same as body colour, that's means two to three layer paint apply to the bumper.

QUOTE(Skeletonman @ Oct 1 2014, 01:34 PM) Wow. U did so much research before taking ur car.. good for u man.  well what I did was to only concentrate on the gaps. Some of them even complained that they are unable to open up their boot using the lever. Have too. To avoid unnecessary visit to SC again for repairing due to assemble plant mistakes. Better told them early to prepare the car up to our expectation before collect it. Problem solved and get a good car.

QUOTE(Skeletonman @ Oct 2 2014, 10:08 AM) I think Honda has never given any kind of discount before, if they do, they will post it onto their official website. That 1K is given by either the salesman himself or the sales centre just to boost their sales Agreed. Is salesperson personal discount that given to customer. If the sales is tremendous, they no need to provide any discount to us. Unless those models that hard to sell then only discount announcement made on Honda websites.

QUOTE(ericlaiys @ Oct 2 2014, 11:18 AM) mazda 2 2015 is coming...hopefully honda scare and give more promotion. Mazda 2 did not give any pressure to Honda City 2014. The only concerned now is Honda Jazz 2014. Which I think Mazda 2 price tag still expensive if compare with Honda Jazz 2014.

QUOTE(putindog @ Oct 2 2014, 10:49 PM) My modern steel also got uneven paint on the door. A diagonal streak of lighter paint was found at lower half of door panel...can be seen only at certain angle. What to do?? May I know your car is driving less than 1 month or already done the 1k service? If yet to send for 1st service, can make complaint on thin layer of paint apply and they will respray for you under Honda warranty coverage. If 1st service did not mention, the chances are very slim and you may need to report this issue to Honda Malaysia to see whether can proceed on this request or not? Try to appeal and you may get it done within 3 to 4 days.

QUOTE(nohal @ Oct 2 2014, 08:50 PM) What do you mean? Btw, read some other post said HU have a good sound potential. Just need to change the speakers. Is it true? Does changing the speakers make it produce more bass sound? If it's true, Then i don't have to install an in car subs.. Aaand, white light bulb is a plug and play process? No need to change or add something? Tq. Change of speakers will make your stereo sounds enhance thus given you a high level of experience inside the cabin. Original HU does give you a good sounds system and the only problem now is the rear speakers that is a bit low performance type. If change the rear speaker to high performance type, it should be great experience when you drive the car on board.

QUOTE(putindog @ Oct 3 2014, 11:58 AM) Less than a month...but worry that respray may end up in even more color difference from the rest of the car body or respray color may be not as glossy as the original factory paint which is baked at high temperature. Any experience to share? Thanks. Hi putindog, the colour is the same and glossy finished make no different. I spray my previous car before and everything looks fine.

QUOTE(Pink Spider @ Oct 8 2014, 02:18 PM) Now, even front passenger power window got that cursed "kreeeaaaK" sound when shut And centre console (handbrake and armrest) there also got rattling  Just turn your HU volume louder a bit will solve the issue. Buy Honda cars already expected this kind of outcome due to firm suspension setup.

Me (yelling): "CANNOT...THIS CAR CANNOT HAVE QUIET MOMENTS WAN~~~!!!"What to do? Honda cars always given free rattling sound here and there, not like their competitors that provide quiet cabin to travel long journey. Power of Dreams come into action.

QUOTE(aipaq @ Oct 8 2014, 10:01 PM) Agreed My V spec develop a noisy sound from the gearbox above 40kmh Checked by Honda engineer at SC and need to change the gearbox!! Already one month no GB stock??got to import from Japan ..bla..bla Can you believe it This will be my last Honda..crap service  After change the gearbox, straight away upgrade to Toyota Altis 1.8E, less problem...CBU unit and most importantly...still have certain standard for QC inspection due to the brand "Toyota" that give an impression of durability and reliability. CKD really unable to trust for nowadays due to their workmanship is so bad that most people complaint on gap issue, rattling sound, insulation and etc....

QUOTE(dman @ Oct 9 2014, 09:54 AM) I've tried spray WD40 to the seat's locking part but lasts only couple of days and the sound came back...  No point to keep on spraying WD40 on the affected area. If possible, put some sponge will resolve the issue. WD40 got a smell that will straight away wipe off your new car smell. Which become used car at the end of the day.

QUOTE(jusTinMM @ Oct 9 2014, 11:18 AM) Godcar is good due to quietness cabin, soft suspension, more warranty can claims and lower interest rate. As compare to Honda, given extra sounds continuosly. Which is a shame for Honda cars that produced a car similar like Proton last time.

QUOTE(Pink Spider @ Oct 9 2014, 11:22 AM) itu NSX fella lor...now only u know?  Don't underestimate godcar. It is good resale value, more quietness cabin with low interest rate. Rattling sound is one of the major issue in which Honda able to provide to customer. New car come with free rattling sound for what purposes?
