I thought about this also, turning off VSA when stuck in mud. Then I though shouldn't traction control help in such cases, I mean if TC can't get you out of the mud, endlessly spinning your wheels in it won't help either, right? Turning off VSA would switch off TC as well.

VSA/TC will automatically apply brake on ur car tyre when it detect skidding/lose traction, u want to turn that off so that it doesn't automatically apply brake..

when ur non-VSA/TC car stuck in mud & press gas pedal lightly doesn't get it out of mud, u will stomp on gas pedal more rather than pressing brake right?

Question is....does stomping on the pedal gets you out of the mud or dig you deeper  hmm.gif

TC was designed for such scenario (albeit in snow or slippery surfaces) - intermittently applying brakes so the wheels can regain traction like ABS. Not sure if the same applies to mud.

then i guess the VSA off button purpose is to give us control when to manually control gas pedal+brake, or let TC take care of it, since human judgements better than what system can achieve

but then again this article mention TC not prevent tyre from stuck in snow:
"Many people mistakenly believe that traction control will prevent their vehicle from getting stuck in the snow. This couldn't be further from the truth. Traction control does not have the ability to increase traction; it just attempts to prevent a vehicle's wheels from spinning."

Not really wor...when i press acceleration hard, it feel like dragging the car as it still locking the wheel...

How ar?

One thing i notice is the brake is kind of hard to press down.. can only press till half like tat...

the brake should disabled after 3seconds; but then, i don't feel it locking tgh wheel, maybe u should ask SC to check

Thanks for replying. I noticed you had no negative comments though. So you have no problems/gripes about your City at all? Sounds too good to be true  hmm.gif Are there any particular SCs you know that are good/bad? And as for test drives, I've been to two showrooms and they only have the V spec as a test drive unit. Also, Matrix mentioned earlier that V spec is harder than E spec. Why would the ride differ between specs? From what I understand the differences between E and V should be mostly cosmetic, things like airbags and foglights. I have already test driven the V spec with my mom in the back, and she said it wasn't that comfortable compared to some other models I test drove.

difference V and other specs probably due to bigger rim. for me no problem, only minor cosmetic issue. honda got a lot of SC, if not satisfied can go try other SC. If passenger comfort is major concern better buy vios the god car

Unfortunately, best engines marred by problematic gearboxes. I will take an average engine with a reliable gearbox anyday.

Also to add on, it only works when headlamps are turned on. If turned off, the display is always at maximum brightness.

to further add, got setting just for HU brightness under settings menu..
