Hi, how long did you wait for your v spec to arrive ya? Tq

Hello, received spec v last friday. How do I enable walk-away auto lock function ya? According to manual, there is a vehicle setting in HUD but I can't find it. thanks!

Just asked the dealer, they said this function only for the Thai spec. Missing opportunity thou as in they can just enable the setting since got remote start.

Does ur car suspension feels too soft? It feels wobbly on corner & uneven road surfaces while harsh on bumps. If compare to my family persona, the later feels much composed. Fyi since out of the showroom for almost a month i never check the tire pressure.

Vios feels claustrophobic for the passenger. Cramp spaces on the pedal. My right foot keep touching the left foot at rest when i depress the brake on new vios & need to tilt my head at the rear seat. My height is 182cm thou. Overall cabin space is spacious than vios. Not to mention the power delivery is better on city.

The speakers need time to break-in. It’ll sound better overtime. Try to use the original apple cable next time. Whether it will sound better or not I’m not sure. For me the sound quality of apple carplay via music app is better over bluetooth but yet to try over usb drive.

For waze, just need to turn the guidance volume down inside the phone app. Set mine @15.

1. Yes it sound loud but I chose to ignore it as long as the aircond is cold. Saw at facebook group got people complaint to sc and they change the relay or something and some owner said just need to check gas aircond level. If its too high,Flush the gas and topup accordingly at sc.

2. Comfortable for me. I think its firm to soft type leather.

3. Sometimes I exp jerking when the RPM is between 1k - 2k.

4. Yet to try weblink. Is it for apple?

Since day 1 I already changed to PIAA. Best wiper ever. Quite expensive but worth every penny.

it can last until you sold off your car. 5-7 years no problem. FYI this is the cheapest piaa below RM100 models which is the refill one.

Done the 10k service and opt for 0w30 fully syn engine oil instead of 0w20. Sometimes before the 10k service, the engine feels sluggish at low RPM (1k-2k) now the issue is gone. Smoother ride overall on eco & normal mode.

Hi, for honda city non RS version, specifically V model, how much do you guys clocked for fuel consumption in km/ltr? Mine at 11-12km/ltr. 2nd service now using 0W30 full-syn engine oil. 90% city drive.

And just to share, recently I just changed to tein endura pro plus absorber since I can't stand the stock absorber which is soft but harsh & wobbly ride on uneven & windy road.

Since the endura pro plus can set the damping force from stiff to soft by 16 clicks, I find it for me the 9 clicks from full stiff is the sweet spot. Now the ride is much more enjoyable

I see, quite the same for highway drive. Last time when I drove from KL - Penang and stayed at Georgetown for 3 nights, journey back only refuel.

Thanks for the feedback. Just wondering if my choice of 0W30 gonna affect the FC in city driving.

yes stock spring.

4 days in Langkawi with a new almera VLP review. Owned a city spec V and just want to try a new almera while on vacation.

- Ride & handling much better. The car equipped with a new 205/55/16 continental UC7. Absorbing imperfections on the road much better. Mind you, I already changed city stock absorber with a tein endura pro plus and 185/55/16 michelin xm2+ but almera still got a better ride & handling. Fyi the stock rim size between almera & city v spec is the same. In theory, city could equipped the same tyre size as almera.

- Steering wheel feels lighter and gradually sportier on a higher speed. Easier to manoeuvre.

- Less body roll when cornering. Feels planted. Lower centre of gravity. But harder to get in and get out. 182cm guy here.

- CVT droning effect much subdued compare to city. Not a pedal to metal but still aggressive driving.

- Tyre sound entering the cabin quite annoying & loud. Different material use on the langkawi road or tyre factor? I’m not sure. Fairly a new car with a clocked mileage at 4,000km. City is much better at this point.

- Noticeable vibrations in the cabin while idling. Because of 3 pots i think.

- Average 17km/l compare to city 12km/l. Drive like a normal person. Quite impressive.

- Turbo quite handy while in the stop start junction, overtaking & climbing the hills. Not an underpowered car.

- Materials selection in the cabin is a notch down compare to city.

- City is a much spacious car and with a thoughtful design.

- With a zero gravity seat, it does feel a lil bit more comfy on the lower part of my body but I prefer overall driving seating position & feel in the city. No leather padding on the gear console and the door trim panel, just hard plastic unlike city with a soft leather padding. Knees will love you more in the city.

- Overall audio sound quality quite the same. Almera tend to focus more on the highs while city produce a lil bit better bass & mid. Already tinker with the EQ

- Same shit rear camera quality. Worse on almera.

- Need to set at 19c to feel cold unlike city usually set at 24c

- Better regulated aircond fan speed on city.

In the end, you decide which features and characteristic important to you. Fairly competitive at this price range. Happy hunting!

After 45k of mileage of spec V 2021, I already claimed a warranty for new headlights due to yellowish DRL (pair) and a bad waterpump (faint intermittent squealing sound can be heard inside the cabin).
