Mine was full tank when I received the car last Saturday. Sunday went out to KL, Monday went to nearby groceries only, Tuesday and today go to work. Still have half tank left. When I first drove the car on Saturday, range was 500++. 99% of the time I left the ECON mode on. I will monitor and report my City's FC time to time.

Regarding the FC, I presume as long as your driving habit is good, meaning you maintain the ECON green bars (left & right) on your meter panel and not let it become blue as much as you can, you should be good enough. So far that's my habit. When I accelerate the car from stationary, I don't floor the gas, I light-foot it and let the gearbox and engine do the work, making sure green light all the time (you need enough patience for this). I don't rush when I drive, I accelerate in a constant and smooth flow, I don't hit sudden brake or hard brake. I decelerate in the same fashion, smooth and slowly. When reaching traffic light I start to brake earlier so my car decelerates smoothly. When I slow down, the cars behind me also will have enough time to brake (unconsciously they follow my braking trend), thus eliminating the snowball effect of cars braking in a sudden and causing unnecessary traffic jams. I always maintain a good distance between me and the car in front of me as much as I can. All of this combined together do make a lot of difference and saves your fuel regardless of the ECON technology in City or any other car. Of course ECON in City helps alot but personally I'm yet to see it myself as my car is still barely 1 week old. Need more time and sampling data to really see the difference, especially highway drive which I've not done yet.
On another note, has anybody ever read your City's manual book? I want to read it but haven't got the time yet. It's a bit geeky, but I think you will really learn a lot about your car when you read the manual especially for a non-car enthusiasts like myself. I will post it here after I finish reading my City's manual book! LOL |

Wow bro I think you got the best deal in this forum. I got RM7500 from Kah Motor Selayang. Lucky you manage to squeeze that extra 200 bucks. Care to share what accessories/freebies you got from your SA? |

QUOTE(Christensen @ Sep 20 2016, 02:50 PM) If im not mistaken, 7k discount is exclusive GST deduction, so basically 7k discount shall give u 7420 discount in total. free car plate + smart tag good deal. I totally forgot to ask about smarttag when i deal with my SA lol...only got touch and go card..and number plate i had to pay normal fees..So 7700 discount = 280 extra cash rebate after converting freebies. My package = 7420 discount + free car plate + trunk tray + smartag which i feel more worth than 7700 From Kah Motor as well |

By the way, City owners out there, any good car wash shop you all can recommend? I haven't washed my car yet since bought it, I want to wash it myself but I live in a condo so difficult to wash. Any good auto spa around Klang Valley you guys always go to? Thanks in advance. |

QUOTE(BugsBunny9328 @ Sep 23 2016, 07:05 PM) Thanks, will check it out.Anybody has any review for Carnauba Autospa shop? I had my car's first wash at this place at Glenmarie, service was great, and price is on the high side (RM24++ wash + vacuum) but you get what you pay for. They clean every inch of your car. Coating is quoted at around RM2.4k. Experts care to share their opinion? TQ in advance. |

Guys wanna ask. How frequent you guys top up your radiator coolant? I just finished my first service yesterday but my coolant reading was already at minimum before that, I think about 1 week ago. Is this normal? Can I buy the coolant outside and top up myself? Do I need to complain to the service center? Thanks in advance.

QUOTE(mls_gamer @ Oct 8 2016, 01:47 PM) You can buy honda premix/ready to use coolant at honda sc..just top up. Yes I'm planning to get only Honda coolant. But is it normal for the coolant to reduce so much in just 1 month/approximately 2k+ km ?Don't mix with aftermarket coolant... If wanna use aftermarket coolant need to flush....and put all new one.. |

QUOTE(mls_gamer @ Oct 8 2016, 06:44 PM) you try to check your spare tank coolant when hot and cool condition.. See the level in your spare tank got increase back or not ? QUOTE(eddie2020 @ Oct 8 2016, 11:04 PM) Normally won't have this issue.. Either temperature / leakage.. As mentioned above member, plz check same time to confirm.. For example next morning after you wake your car in cold condition QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Oct 9 2016, 04:15 PM) QUOTE(eddie2020 @ Oct 9 2016, 06:50 PM) Sorry guys it's my mistake. I wrongly saw the coolant level in the spare tank. It is still on maximum. As the coolant level is always not filled up full in the tank, I assumed it has reduced, as I'm used to my previous car Kelisa whereby I just use water and fill up the thing until it overflows then I close the lid My coolant level is good |
