just wanna ask, so if tiny stones that stick on tires, will affect the car balancing? since the far the weight the more significant the effect, so tiny stones add up enough to cause unbalance?
*
It's advisable to clear the stone once in a while. But, tiny stone is not even 1g. Getting them off the wheel will benefit on more even wear on thread.
Thick dried mud which is unevenly distributed will cause wheel to be out of balanced if not clean off. This is personal experience on my 4x4.

Dear fellow honda city drivers,
I'm getting my E spec Honda City soon
I noticed the CVT has 4 modes, which are P, R, N, D and S mode
I would like to ask if I want to use low gear during hill climbing or going down a steep slope, how should I engage low gear?
I'm a novice, your reply is very much appreciated
*
Pls read the manual.

Proven many drivers never read their car manual.
In fact cvt has no specific gear ratio.

Small matter... If bumper can clip back, the scratches Polish a bit. Let it be... If cannot resist seeing it, then spend RM 200 to have it respray.

Drum brake is good if less people seat inside the vehicle. If full of passengers and luggage, it is indeed not safe to drive on the road.

Battery exploding is no fun. Still waiting for letter. Ask sc to check battery n seems it's still well. 2 yrs old. Still paranoid, thinking of buying a new battery outside.

some more i call honda "hotline" machine answer their working hour for fasting month is from 9am to 4.30pm only

first thing on monday i will call insurance for tow truck and go to honda for battery replacement which suppose to be free
hope they dont test my nerve over there
not enough with their shitty QC..the CVT, airbag, battery you name it

You left your car with exploded battery over the weekend? U should attend to it, clean it up as water from battery is acidic, corrosive . U will see your paint coming off if u didn't wash off immediately.

Recently passenger side rear got abnormal sound.. Maybe something lose.. Mileage less than 30k km... Oh damn. Not sure if it has got to do with bush o not. Still waiting for the battery replacement letter... Honda seems slow to deal with battery defect

For my car, I hear abnormal sound when got passenger sitting on rear right seat (behind driver's seat). If no one sitting, no abnormal sound. Is it the same with yours?
*
No. No passenger... Got knocking sound.. Maybe something lose. Or something making noise in the boot.. But things HD been in there for long time. Recently only has this sound..

That is not quite correct. For my City, it basically holds indefinitely. Until I press the accelerator to continue driving. However, still depends on how steep the hill is. If it is too steep, then it will not be able to hold.
*
Pls don't confuse others. Go read the manual. I can't remember if it holds 2 o 3 seconds before it starts to slide backwards. But of course, provided the slope is steep enough.
If not steep enough, this function also doesn't work as the car can creep forward without sliding back.
