General Information

If you're looking for a car that is very efficient when it comes to fuel, then look no further as I-DSI would fit your option very well. The I-DSI has good low to mid-range torque.

If you're looking for a car that has better power, and don't mind the slightly higher fuel consumption compared to I-DSI, then you should check out the VTEC model. The VTEC has good mid to hi-range torque.

Honda City's Fuel Tank is 42 litres. Both models I-DSI and VTEC has the steermatic control (7-speed manual/auto shifting on the steering).

The automatic gearbox's selection is:
P - Parking
R - Reverse
N - Neutral
D - Normal Driving
S - Sports Driving
L - Low Gear

3rd Generation: VTEC | I-DSI
Interior: Beige | Beige
HP on Engine : 110hp | 88hp
Rear Brakes : Solid Discs | Drums
CD-Player: Kenwood 50Wx4 CD-MP3 Player | Blaupunkt Miami Beach (if i'm not mistaken) 50Wx4 CD Player
Meters: Normal meters | Normal meters
Rear seats: Ultra seats | Ultra seats
Wheels : 15" Alloys | 14" Alloys

No electronic folding side-mirrors.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

4th Generation: VTEC | I-DSI
Interior: Black | Beige
HP on Engine : 110hp | 88hp
Rear Brakes : Solid Discs | Drums
CD-Player: Kenwood 50Wx4 CD-MP3 Player | Blaupunkt Miami Beach (if i'm not mistaken) 50Wx4 CD Player
Meters: Self-illuminating meters (aka Optitron meters) | Normal meters
Rear seats: Bottom seat drawers but no ultra seats | Ultra seats but no bottom seat drawers

Both has foldable side-mirrors, ABS and dual-airbags and 15" alloy rims.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comes with 40,000km or 2 years free maintenance warranty (whichever comes first) meaning all parts and labour would be free. Also comes with 100,000km or 3 years warranty on parts (whichever comes first).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

My opinion on the issue regarding power:

I'd like to talk about this power / horsepower issue on the I-DSI that has often given it quite a rough image that it would be underpowered compared to other cars of the same displacement.

The City packs quite a lot of technology within it and thus the I-DSI although it's engines rated horsepower is 88hp, it will still be good. Why? What's important is the amount of power/torque transferred to the wheels. As we all know, not all the power from the engine gets transferred due to power loss due to the airconditioner, transmission, steering and all that. Now, this is why the power on the I-DSI and VTEC is good.

The City has Electronic Power Steering (EPS) meaning it is non-hydraulic (no fluid ) and that has saved quite a good amount of power loss. The City also has a CVT transmission that is without a torque converter which means, less power loss again. Some of you may have experienced your City rolling back on a slope and power taking a while to be transferred, and this is the reason why. No torque converter. Two of these factors itself reduces quite a good amount of horsepower to be transferred from the engine to the wheels.

Toyota Vios, Nissan Sentra, Hyundai Accent, Perodua Myvi, and many others comes with conventional auto gearboxes and hydraulic steerings. and thus takes up quite an amount of horsepower from the engine.

cheers!

thanks...
will it have any problems?
spare parts is affordable?

mydelsol,
Added.

i thought our stock tires are Good Year NCT5? how come you're going for the same tires? I'll go for other brands when I change mine.. rims wise, no idea.. haha.. economy tak baik

vin_ann,
as long as the car has good service records, it should be fine. But depending on how old the car is, do understand that some parts may be due for replacement and you should have some cash in hand to replace them. Owning a car is much easier than maintaining one

This post has been edited by Jackie Leong: Aug 24 2006, 11:58 PM

i saw 2003 city ISDI is around 57k
city has 3 years warranty right? so 2003 car is definetely out of the warranty

just want to ask is the spare part will be expensive?
i don't want to get broke by fixing it >.<

i wanna get city vtec too. sigh...no money now. still paying for my stupid proton. if say loan for 9 years, every month need to pay RM900+ instalment right? kinda heavy...

errr.....i drive jazz but i bought a city for my mom, ok or not?

NO probs glad to help, problems, ALL car has, frm Ferarri to Proton, so
it boils down to service history when you buy a car, good luck,
fyi, Honda parts are still relatively affordable except the Dohc Vtec, they are
still in the premium range

Thanks, yes they are NCT5, but 185, i got myself 195 and, as mentioned in V2 thread my wife does most of the driving and she insisted the same tyres as
COMFORT is he main criteria same goes for the rims sighhh...

you wont go broke bro, as long as the maintenance of the car is well taken cared
by the previous owner you have nothing to worry about, check the history
its should be maintained every 5,000km...

well you pay for what you want marr ritee...Honda got good interest rates
so drop by a showroom and check it out...

anak mithali

Phew weee! monday feed Shell for my iDSi, n dis time dint main 1.5~1.6RPM at all, but just rev it up 4-5, 2day fuel guard meter still above middle line, 386km oredy.


so surprised! previously, need to maintain hard my right foot only can get that.

me...
3rd Generation Honda City - VTEC (Satellite Silver) bought 2005.

like my pic <-----

thanks

errr....that means?

firstly, am sad U dunno wat it means, its standard 3 BM
amyways, it means good, honest everything NICE..get it?
I meant it for you for buying a car for your mum....

filial piety?

OH IC!

oh well, i'm just guessing

btw, sorry for not being that active these days.. i'm kinda busy with my assignments and coming college work..

any idea how much is honda city 2003 tail light?

also planing to change 4X tyre looking at Michelin 185/60/14...err RM660 with balancing and alignment for 4 w/o valve ok aaah?

wahhhhh new thread liao worrrr .....

u not active? den I must juz woke up from hibernation ... been so occupied wif work nowadays ...

WaZZZZaPpppPPpppPPpp ...

I think I posted in the V2 thread, but nvm.. it should cost below RM200 per piece, original from Honda Malaysia (if not mistaken, around the range for RM140 +/- per piece)

I'm not sure if it's possible, but last time my former civic with those lousy michelin certis tires costs around RM175 per piece (about 3 years ago), excluding the balancing, alignment and tire valves. If you are going for Certis, then you might as well go for the Good Year NCT5 tires as they are better (from what i've experienced).

But if you are going for Pilot Preceda or the Energy XM1, I doubt it'll be that cheap bro. Scout around Klang as that place is known for tires at a cheaper price.

I'm working on my assignments lor.. every now and then I still have to come in here to check out what's going on ma..

14 inch tyres also so expensive meh?

i read from Autoworld that Goodyear nowadays not so good. BUt then again it was Goodyear Ducaro as Eagle no more liao. Michelin XM1 was given good comments.
Good Year NCT5 got 185/60/14? Noisy or not? How much?

ehem2....can I join registering in

just came back from bandung.........wanna see Honda City in Bandung?

yawn....hello guys.... what a slow slow weekend man...

just went to Cars to wash car....not bad....i got the car "FUMIGATED"....yeah i know
its kinda really weird... its their latest promo (1st in Malaysia...it seems) Nano fumigation system...or someting like dat...

but its nice...it kills 99.9% bacteria and odor...(Durian smell killed guranteed), it smelt like a hospital in my car man...

all for 30 bucks...not bad if i do say so my self... car is also washed oso....

so wats new mates....

where you did the fumigating thing?
its just for the smell or it also kills small insects living in the car?

for people who often eat in their cars and don't keep it clean sure will have roaches then lizards.

BTW Goodyear Eagle F1 is good but kinda expensive, Ducaro kinda noisy for me compared to the Yoko's I had earlier can't remember the model though. You know the engine is very quiet so the tyre noise will always be the loudest noise.

tot no more Goodyear Eagle F1 oredi? Replacement is Ducaro

Goodyear website still shows it so means still ada lo ...

BTW, Meguairs products all naik harga in Enoes dy ... friggin mahal man ... ... juz wanna inform u guys ... saw it last week ...

this week sakit liao ... MC 2moro to sleep

I did it in CARS International...i was in Klang so i did it in Klang Parade.

First they wash ure car... after that when its abt 50 to 70 % dry...they start ure car up
switch on the aircond, then they put a small box like contraption the size of the jumbo gardenia bread and then they close all doors whilst the car is running.

On the out side where to cables are at, there is a switch to indicate whether the car
is cool enuff on the inside, they switch on the power and the small gadget starts spewing out white smog to circulate ure whole car including ure vents, under ure seats and all around. The whole car is covered and from out side u see its like 10 idiots smoking in ure car man....can't see a thing...

Later after abt 5 to 10 mins, the smog dissipates and they take out the gadget, let it sit for another minute or two....they will test to see if the car ain't stuffy then they verify that its all good for u to go in and thats all...process takes abt 15 minutes i'd say....

Nice effect, to know that u can kill any dust mites, bacterias and stuffs to ensure ure family is safe lor...

Woah, V3 ledi!!!

Havent been vistiting this thread much lately, it seems that everyone is pretty much alive.

Hey you guys know where to find the rm40 car wahs ah?
Where they wash and clean everywhere.
The areas at the door there they even use tooth brush to clean!

is alablaster silver the new silver colour code for the new 4G city?

edit: it's okay, i found that out already

Added.

I've seen those tail lamps advertised by GC on hypertune since an issue or two back.. it's funny that one of them are oddly shaped from the pictures

Where've you been?

This post has been edited by Jackie Leong: Aug 30 2006, 02:10 AM

hi there, want to ask city owners here..

have u guys encounter a situation where let's say you're are going about 20 to 30km/h and u pass thru kinda bumpy road. (please refer pix).


picture legend:
green arrow: the way i wanna go.
blue line: berhenti line.
the 2 frog green line: some stupid bumpy road obstacle.

let's say if passing thru that 2 lines about 20 to 30km/h.... while pressing on the brake cause reaching berhenti line... will your car has sound wan?

i guess it's from the brake pedal coz it's like forcing ur leg not to step on it and it's shaking...thus making some noises...

is it the ABS??

please enlighten me and i wanna know is this normal or is there something wrong with the brakes... thank you.


Attached thumbnail(s)

tot itu bunyi oni on proton ABS ?

(my cT tarak bunyi like what u described)

what if it's a pretty bumpy road??
that the 2 lines are kinnda deep?

Yes, it's the ABS activating. Try not to hit the brakes too hard to activate the ABS, although it's pretty easy to activate the ABS.

Try braking kau kau when u drive at a certain speed. You'll get "krack krack" sounds and vibrations on your brake pedal.

Been busy la brader JL, got quite an amount of work to do in the office so come back straight hit the bed. Weekends got time also go out to relax.

On a different note, my latest FC = 645km on a single refill, although i did drove on after the light came on. Pumped in a total of RM71.xx sen of fuel, thats about 37.25 litres.

How can a top end flagship tyre model by Goodyear being compare to the cheapest Ducaro GA? The only worth getting Goodyear tyre IMHO is Eagle F1.

Add me also

3G IDSI Black 04

Any suggestion to upgrade 16" or 17"
Will the FC def a lot compare to this 2?

It doesnt matter ... my car's ABS kicks in quite often ... when driving through slightly rough surface or slippery surface or hard breaking at high speed .. I feel City's ABS kicks in quite often ... apprached SC and they say its normal ...

It feels as though your padel is shaking and u get a slight "tak tak tak" sound ... no need to be alarmed ...

BTW u dun really need to break kaokao while speeding to feel or activate ABS, try turning or bumpy roads while slightly breaking ... ABS will kick in too ...

This post has been edited by nycs82: Aug 31 2006, 05:27 PM

But the smallest they have for Eagle F1 is 15"

My stock rim is 14"

Added. There will be slight difference, but the acceleration power of your car on 17 inches will definitely be poor compared to 15" or 16"


trade-in your stock rims & tires for 15" and top up lo

won't get much from it i think coz 3 of them oredi got scars .... got 1 xtra deep

Go skim the rims at honda service centers, after that, they look brand new!

skimming at RM90 per rim, you're better off using the money to top up for new rims.

dun get eagle F1 la...
alot of people complain the tire thread not so good...
and its noisy like any other good year tire...
my dad's volvo last time eagle f1, then now michelin pilot preceda..
if u want performance and okok price not at RM400 a piece, i suggest u go for bf goodrich

Yalo ... 3 RIMS = RM270 ... siao meh

Can go a lot of things wif tat $$ ... RIMS oni ma ... can change later in future 1

Plus ori rims of normal cars don't fetch good price.

Imagine injuring your newly gotten rims... and then you can't just get one to replace it. You gotta get 4! My advice is to stick to ori rims if you are prone to mishaps like me.

What normal car??!! It's a honda city le!

This post has been edited by nrchy: Aug 31 2006, 11:57 PM

when ur car is brand new, it can fetch up to RM900 inclusive of the tires.

i want jackie leong's city.xD spam spam

yea ... last time i asked ... RM700 inclusive tyres

nrchy,
Im a careful driver ... I friggin making sure it wont happen again ... but who knows ... as long as its not the car body im ok

updates, my goodyear NCT5 clocked 1000km liow...hehhee
so far ok lorrr....

activating ABS? i wonder how... tought only in emergency situations...

going back to my hometown tonight.......will pass Jln Bkt Putus, Senawang-Kuala Pilah at around 12am++ tokyo driff time

Yeah, when its brand new straight from the 3S you can probably fetch that price but after that not really. After using for a couple of months it will become dirty with carbon from the brake pads and micro scratches from wind swirls.

Then you bring it in to trade-in sure the mechanic got lotsa excuse to press the price down. Coz not many would want to buy it from them later on unless for those with steel rim and want to upgrade to OEM alloy rim or as a cheap alternative.

However, original 15" rims fetch a good price generally because OEM products are generally of a higher quality and tested more than aftermarket products. Plus the fact that 15" tyres are cheaper but is definately the everyday man's best combination of performance and price.

Well, of course rare rims like Integra Type-R or Subaru WRX STi, without tyres can still fetch over RM2000.

hhmm..after merdeka...all so quiet...

if your rims are non-dented and scratchless, it could still fetch a good price.. i know friends who got trade-in price range of between RM600-800

besides, those rims that we trade in are probably recycled/sold back to the manufacturers to be fitted back to new cars

LOL, i dunno about that but its not impossible.

Cityzens,

Anyone here using Silverstone tyres? Either Kruizer1 or SynergyM5?
Need feedback urgently, helping a friend with his article.

Anybody interested in my EPS 8000k HID set? H4 lo-HID, hi-halogen..

I'll be removing them tomorrow, so those interested please offer me a reasonable price through PM and i'll get back to you

WHY? Upgrading izzit? btw, anyone using Silverstone or knows anyone using them?
Urgent, helping my friend...

I start my BID at RM1

Y la? Police giving u probs? .. nvm la ... now saman got mega sale!!

BTW, how much was the total cost originally?

yep jackie, they are pricing them at RM699. The smoked lexus style is kewl but i dont quite like the design. i still like it if they remain the two rounded signal and reverse indicators. anyway the shop in sunway which sells al lthe taillamps says that they are coming out with a few design for our City. how long? not sure. hehe so waiting for other lexus style lamps!

I've decided to keep my HIDs, but i'm selling off my Max2000 Strobe Lights. Anybody interested?

GRexer wants it. Check out the LYN Club thread
