Hi guys!

I just got my car yesterday (after 2 weeks of waiting after booking) and still didn't fully understand how's this car works exactly tongue.gif

I have a quick question. When I press the pedal to maintain speed about 20-30km/h, the acceleration acting weird. Sometimes the car loosing power for about 1-1.5 sec then continue to accelerate.

Anyone here facing the same thing?

Can take photo of what dashboard gap you are saying?
I found some minor flaws too. The rubber seal around the door, some parts are not properlly glued. So need to inform SC to glue it properly during 1st Servixe.

Btw, I think the oil stains mentioned earliar are on the outside of the windshield, just wipe a bit and its cleaned...so I guess I really need a car wash..haha

What socket type? They are not using S video in?

I saw few reverse camera with night vision, some with LED light.. Dunno what to choose also. And dunno which compatible with the HU.

Anyone know what is the resolution on the 7 inch HU, i think we should buy those CCD/CMOS sensor that can fully utilized the screen resolution....

This is what i mean by socket type, and not the RCA video in connector

Most likely, anyway, are you driving in ECON mode? If yes, try to switch it off and see if there's difference.

But it's still way much better than the VIOS, tekan also kennot jalan(even my wife said that...and her colleague who tested the VIOS also said that). The Earthdream CVT is actually more responsive than my Inspira in the low RPMs...
(which makes it excellent for City driving...oh wait...this is Honda City, not Honda Mountain Pass...of course leh...doh.gif )

I have 3 years of CVT driving experience btw...LOL.

Greetings City owners! smile.gif

I am not one of your kind, but am seriously considering buying a City in the near future. I'm sure people here could go on and on about the benefits of owning a City (it is the owners club after all). However, as a potential buyer naturally I'm most concerned with its weaknesses unsure.gif So I'd appreciate your icon_question.gif to share your most honest and unbiased view on any problems and dissatisfactions you've had with your beloved City.

Areas I'm particularly concerned with are
- fuel consumption
- reliability
- after sales service
- cost of servicing and spare parts
- back seat suspension and comfort of ride (my not-so-young parents will be sitting at the back)

but do highlight any other City-specific problem areas too.

All comments are most appreciated thumbup.gif

Cheers!

Item 2, reliabilty. What do you actually mean? Its Honda.
Item 3 & 4, go and ask the service centre for actual cost. See if they entertain you. That will give an idea what kind of service they have. This is because it depends on the service centre that you go to.
For item 5, best to bring them to a test drive on various grade of the new City.

Areas I'm particularly concerned with are
- fuel consumption - Better than VIOS according to user's feedback...According to specs, beats VIOS and Almera
- reliability - It's a Honda, apa ktard mau lagi?
- after sales service - It's a Honda, apa ktard mau lagi?
- cost of servicing and spare parts - no difference than VIOS or Almera...probably cheaper than Almera according to Almera's user's feedback of TCSS rip off services.
- back seat suspension and comfort of ride (my not-so-young parents will be sitting at the back) - V-Spec is harder than E-Spec. E-Spec comfort is very decent. Just don't go fast over small nasty bumps. Anyway, some superior comfort tyres will improve the situation even more.

but do highlight any other City-specific problem areas too. No decent competitors. tongue.gif

All comments are most appreciated thumbup.gif

Anyway, go test drive, and compare the specs and price.

I have test drive Vios,Almera, Attrage, Jazz Hybrid, Rio, Picanto and City before deciding on the City.

If you really wants superior comfort in the rear, i suggest you get an Inspira instead...beats all of the above. tongue.gif
