QUOTE(George.low @ Sep 25 2014, 09:46 PM) No such thing la. I check inside out and i miss a few things such as seat fabric fitting is bad. The car just came down from the trailer. After their inspection, they will help me send for tinted. Then after that only I can check my car thoroughly. But I read somewhere that we are able to inspect the car before they officially register the car under our name.Example: SA ask me why i didn't check b4 driving it away, i ask them back a question. "You buy new car terus open ur plastic tak?" She just smile and hehe abit and say nope... |

QUOTE(Jeffreynsx @ Sep 26 2014, 02:18 PM) Hi Skeletonman, I'm the one that inspect the car first before registration with JPJ for the car being assigned to me. But this 1 need to insisted the SA to let you visit the car garage. Otherwise, you can't really know which car that assigned to you as well as further checking on each components. Yea I guess you are the one..I just inspected the gap. The gap at both driver sides does not exist but I'm quite annoyed with the gap the the place where we put our cup. There seemed to be gap but the Honda SA told me it's normal. I even check two other cars and they are the same. Any insight on this? |

QUOTE(Jeffreynsx @ Sep 26 2014, 03:33 PM) This one need to send in for readjustment during your 1k service. As long as the gap is not unevenly distribute still will not make your eye fatigue on it. Yea I guess mine is the best among all the cars there because my gap is evenly gapped but the others im not so sure |

Hey all, I just got my city E spec M steel two days back. I do have slight gap issue at the dashboard passenger site but still it is still acceptable to my eyes. But rattling starts appearing as soon as I drove over bumpy road. Also can I know izzit normal to have loud NVH? I felt the road noise is terrible especially at the back passenger seat. Can hear the tyre's noise. If it is normal, is there any kinda insulation that I can do to overcome this road noise?

QUOTE(Jeffreynsx @ Sep 29 2014, 08:21 AM) By changing your original Good Year tyres from GT3 to Continental CC5, Yokohama AE01 or Michelin Pilot Sport 3 will resolved the insulation issue. Stock car come with low quality tyres that makes the overall car experience worst. Trade in your existing tyres and replace with this good tyres will change the driving experience. Rattling sound issue can resolve by sending your car in for Service during 1k. Preferable during weekdays service as Honda senior technician will be available for further checking on the car matters. Can I not wait till 1K service for the rattling sound? Quite annoying as 1K is after one month (I wont be able to reach 1K in a month). How much can we get if we trade in our good year tyre? |

QUOTE(Jeffreynsx @ Sep 29 2014, 11:32 AM) Hi Skeletonman, is follow your 1k or 1 month service whichever come first. Even you drive the car only 300km for instance, you're required to send in your car for service if your service due date is that day. Previously I also can hear steering column and door panel rattling sound but after done the service, no sound already. No what I mean is can I send the car back now to check for the rattling sound and not wait until 1K service? 1K service is about a month from now and the rattling sound is really really annoying as though I rare a rat inside the car =.= |

QUOTE(tboxmy @ Sep 29 2014, 06:14 PM) Skeletonman, I hear your pain. Problem is that everyone wants the free service. What? It's their fault and yet they still charge us meh.. really bullshit la. Can I have Honda Malaysia's email?You could ask Honda SC to see if they don't mind doing it for free as its a car quality problem. |

QUOTE(tboxmy @ Sep 29 2014, 07:52 PM) Not to rattle your bones, but shouldn't you contact the SA regarding this matter? I already told her about this issue. She just say send it to the nearest SC to fix it as I bought the car from another district. From Ipoh but bought the car at Sitiawan. The car now is in IpohIf you have updates, Do share with us how it went. |

To me I love the car to the max, just that the annoying rattling sound. Everything about it is good! Smooth gear transmission, unnoticeable engine sound (not flooring the pedal), cooling aircond and not forgetting the space in it! 5 fellas in the car and yet it does not feel underpower. Unlike my dad's vios, this feels much better

QUOTE(starry-starry @ Oct 1 2014, 10:57 PM) 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 |

QUOTE(ericlaiys @ Oct 2 2014, 11:18 AM) Mazda 2's specifications have not been revealed yet. They look good at overseas but they might cut some of the accessories for a cheaper price. Well, this mazda definitely will be one of the close contender. Nowadays very less vios on the road d..haha |
