I didn't know there is a potential transmission damage when the car is set to cruise at more than 160km/h.

I had bad experience of driving at around 120km/h, well, I actually fell asleep sweat.gif

Have you had any experience of driving at speed faster than 160km/h? May I know what is the engine speed beyond 160km/h?

OIC, good to know that and thanks for the advice.

Are you told by the Honda after sales service staff that by constantly driving at 160km/h or higher, the transmission will prone to failure? Is this a known issue on this model?

Ooo...may I know which specific component in the transmission you need to change more frequently if you constantly driving at speed of more than 160km/h due to higher wear and tear mentioned?

Hey bro, u are driving a B segment city car. I won't really think u should drive more than 160km/h in stock configuration. This car with CVT just don't mean to be used like that. Go for at least C segment if that is your driving style. Don't risk yourself and other road users. Drive safe bro.

I knw airbags serve their purpose.. but sometimes they can be dangerous if deployed at inappropriate time.. so I think no need to be so particular about the number of airbags.. just drive safely.. tongue.gif

drive safely no use. after seeing the video clip on recent accident involved BMW bang by Avanza at Malacca, i appreciate my side and curtain airbag very well
I always think that a car with many or advanced safety features requires a driver with relevant knowledge in mind.. airbags are SUPPLEMENTARY restraint system ( SRS ) which only work best along with the seat belt.. when u still see majority of rear passengers in malaysia don't use seat belts, and they dunno the necessity to maintain a safe distance from the airbags, airbags may instead pose a risk of injuries to them.. not to say side and curtain airbags not important, but our people road safety awareness still have to be improved a lot in order to really appreciate the use of the airbags.. btw no offense.. icon_rolleyes.gif

Every AT transmission car has shift lock release, so that in case your car breaks down, u can still shift the gear from P for towing.. no offense.. but next time don't bash others too fast.. haha.. pity the 1 who asked.. biggrin.gif

But i am still curious what airbag they use for City/Jazz 2014? Newer Takata airbags?? Or other brands?

I believe they are still the old takata airbags, waiting for the next phase of recall… coincidentally I found out the seatbelt of 2014 city also made by takata… now the power of dream has turn into the power of nightmare… sad.gif
