LOL, for most of us, our City is our Mistress. We all take special good care of it^^

i use 7 speed mode when a noisy vios behind me

Just curious... The Honda FIT is actually same as Honda Jazz right? i mean the outlook almost the same... i just went to honda.com.my and realise that there will be new model coming out soon but not sure whether is FIT or new Honda City...

i am waiting for the new Honda city..dunno worth to wait or not..

Fit is the name used in JDM Japan. Our city in Japan is called Fit Aria or codename GD8. Honda Fit GD1/3 refers to our hatchback counterpart. The new city is not launched yet so i dont think thats the one on honda.net.my. its the latest Honda Jazz which will be coming to our shore soon. Check my signature, thats the new Jazz@GE6/8.

edit : added a few photos of the new jazz. 1.5ivtec engine with torque convertor.

guys,

what is the latest interest rate for 9 years repayment period of city vtec?

Torque converter? Which means no CVT?

Yup, u r right. No more CVT.

sorry a noob question here...wats the different between torque converter n cvt???pro can explain o me pls...

They are two different thing actually. CVT is a gearbox. Torque converter a device used to transfer the rotating power to your wheels. AFAIK, torque converters are used with normal automatic gearbox, like planetary gearbox. CVT uses different device, but i can;t recall the name.

Please do notice this. There are CVT that are coupled with torque converter, but by doing this, it loses out in efficiency.

Contradicting that, Honda has CVT with torque converter with increased efficiency.

USB interface?

ok, will ask for the calibration next time bring back to the SC, to check some weird sound at engine compartment too

Erm my sound is from driver seat stretch out to near front screen. The sound is from ventilation hole. When i press or put my hand at the ventilation hole, then no sound dy. How can i fix this ah? If Wira, can jes take out the ventilation cover and tighten it or something but our CT one looks like the ventilation comes with the whole dashboard mounting.

Correct me if I am wrong..

At Johor Bahru, they are advertising in Newspaper that Honda City can hit 18km/litres.

What a bunch of liars

Honda City F.E.A.T

Read this, the participants were our club members. of course its mainly highway road condition so FC is superb.

you can hit that, with certain conditions

cruising PLUS highway with constant speed at 90km/h
of course can get superb low FC reading...

well, i heard the new city is i-vtec?
no more cvt for the new city?
is that means our cvt is a failure?

I would not say that. Instead I think because CVT is too expensive to couple with i-VTEC.

Dear all Honda City owner,

I plan to buy a used Honda City (Model: I-DSI, Year: 2005, Mileage: 45000KM, Price: RM62K). My concern is that how can I inspec the car to ensure it is in good condition inside out, and 100% accident free (as told by the salesman)? Does Honda SC provide such service to inspec cars? Or you guys have any shop that can do a top-bottom inspection?

You reply is much appreciated. Thanks.

i brought my uncle with me while i was looking for my city
he works as a mechanic before.

well, best is bring your mechanic with you.
once they look at it, they know which part had accident before
even my uncle pointed it out to me, i still couldn't tell what's wrong with it.

well, some part that my uncle did check:
look for dents
open up the rubber seal at the door.
Check the wheel in bonnet, look for any rust/ wet sign
remove the carpet and check if there is any water marks
some others i don't know how to describe



If future no more CVT cars in production, then our gearbox will become more expensive... obsolete... not a good sign.. sigh...
