no.. u shouldn't wait until the blue light goes off
drive slowly as the engine will warm up itself FASTER then leaving it idle.

QUOTE(black_rider @ Dec 24 2007, 04:24 PM)
Nope, don;t have to wait until it is off. That's what my SA told me.
So usually I'll just start my engine, wait 2 - 3 seconds and jalan ..

New era car don;t have to wait till it fully warmed up before jalan  icon_idea.gif

by the way, bought yourself steering lock or watsoever lock already? a lot of car thief around..
Yesterday my car alarm rang around 5 am in the morning .. woke up and saw one indian around my car.. .faster took my baseball bat and went out, he ran away but my back car door was open (damn! wonder how he did that) luckily no scratches but can see fingerprints all around my driver door and back door.

I think he tried to open and got scared by my City's loud alarm ...

Almost ..~
*
damn, wasted my good 3 mins and came late to work. haha biggrin.gif

wa, nowdays is not safe anymore. My SA told me that there is a lock mechanism that can lock the brake pedal directly underneath the steering (without any funny looking or jetted out or hook up to steering). coz from 'p' we need to press brake 1st, then we could shift to 'r' or etc. Im gonna ask him further about this.

and u r rite, the city alarm is loud!

They can use the 'shift lock' button to escape from P.  tongue.gif

There's also some pedal lock from Thailand, which has connector/adaptor built-in to fully support the car alarm itself - i.e. the car won't even start before unlocking the brake lock. I just fitted them into my new Vios, cost around RM450. They should have Honda City model as well. Support steering tilting, don't worry.
Well, those brake lock and steering lock are for making your car more time wasting to steal. If they wanted to, I had my friend Hilux with both lock detached and put in front of his house, while his Hilux disappear.
Since using Cobra, they also should have a GPS tracking (+ insurance and send SMS to your phone) add-on to your existing alarm, with subscription around RM300+ per year, and the device one-time fee around RM2000. The insurance claim is around RM2000 when the car is report stolen, and if within 72hr not found, they give you another RM10,000. And they won't take back the money if they found back your car after 72hr.

how do they use 'shift-lock' to escape from 'P'? mind share?

With all those car thieves around...owning a nicer car seriously is another big headache. At least when a City park together with Persona...Most probably u will still see Persona around  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  Well thats the price to pay to drive nice car  tongue.gif

Anyway, nowadays there is some steering lock that come with alarm system as well, and can be control by remote controller.

i think now delay is because holiday season. most people take long holiday... even some people until new year!


thieves, haihs... so what is the effective way to protect our car? lock?

no tint yet.. im interested on this ArmorCoat tint. Very hard to break. my SA recommends to me RM1800, retail=RM2200, quite expensive eh?

maybe save few bucks 1st. or there any other recommended tint? i prefer not to goldish or color, just normal, a bit darker tint + security features (hard to break).

apisgogo, does your passenger side cover (the top one) create sound when you go through bumpy roads? Mine got ler  cry.gif  sigh... gonna get it fix during 1k service. Hopefully the sound can be gone forever.

I heard from some other forumer here that when air cond kicks in.. the sound is quite noticeable... yours got?
*
Passenger side cover top? nope, no sound on mine. check with SA, ask them to rectify. need to push them a bit.

for the aircond, its quite noticeable, but not until it irritates me smile.gif

thanks for the suggestion. will check that out.

Yo, apisgogo...
Cool AVATAR, man!!! thumbup.gif
My 2 cents worth, bro...
Let me tell u that i was so impressed with ArmorCoat, unbreakable, top security, like u, but in the end decided against it... hmm.gif
Reason: think of the incidents which may need u to break the windows to save a life, i.e.: the car falling into a river, a child in the back seat with the keys locked in & windows are tightly shut while ur spare keys are 100km away back home, etc... shakehead.gif
EMERGENCIES, u know?sweat.gif

Actually, top-range tints, i.e.: Ecotint, V-Kool, Air Cool, etc... also protects the windows from shattering upon impact, so if ur concerns are snatch thieves, i.e.: Mat Rempits, etc... then i believe the brands i've mentioned would be sufficient. tongue.gif

Well, good to know u've got ur ride, bro... thumbup.gif
Get our TS to include ur name into our Hall of Fame!!! rclxm9.gif
YEEHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif

thanks smile.gif

like u, me also very impressed. SA show me the video clip, looks the mirror holds link tank!

and your reason is very reasonable. smile.gif

gonna shop around for this tint.

Guys, what do u think of the new VTEC City? Seeking opinions here as I'm considering getting one some time in early 2008 to replace my ageing Gen2...

Btw, the new Vios is ugly, compared with the City, IMO! biggrin.gif
*
one word to describe city : smooth smile.gif

before i made my purchase, i test drive city and new vios, and im very much prefer city. Smooth ride, responsive engine, comfortable.

the 7-speed mode is cool. when cruising at normal speed, press the 7 speed mode, and ur rpm will go up and u can feel the torque coming. smile.gif

another thing, how u guys fuel consumption? i always get 15.8-16.8km/l, im still below 1k mileage. many people said after 1k service, the millage will get better.

Happy New Year.

i got the ecotint ray barrier with safety film fitted on the 4 windows, for the windscreen, it's without the ray barrier
after hearing 2 cases of my father's car getting broken into from the side window, once for smarttag, another for the cd player, i'm convinced that it's a good investment
in case of emergency like crashing into the river, breaking the windscreen would probably be a better choice for escape route, that is, if the door can't be used

Getting a City is no regret for me. Next investment will be on ICE.

Erm, im very light footed, i never push the car exceed 3k rpm. always keep below 100km/h. maybe after my 1k service, can test the power smile.gif im already near 900km

What is the on the road price with insurance now for City 1.5 vtec?? Any comment about it?? Heard that is it fuel comsumption very high??

In terms of price, fuel comsumption, power, maintainance and market value if compare with I-DSI, which one is worth to get??
*
if u want smooth ride, go for city...

after that, if u want more power and fun driving style choose vtec...

the fuel consumption is ok... who said its high? i currently always get 15.8km/l and tops at 18km/l.. not yet 1k service, this sat will go. after 1k service, the engine will be much efficient, plus all the components and thus the fuel efficiency will be good.

if u wanna save a lot on fuel, choose idsi.

Done my 1st 1k service this morning @ Honda Jln. Ipoh. Well their service is good and friendly. Apparently for 1k service, they will not change any parts or oil, just inspection. According to them when doing 5k service, then they change the oils, filer, cvtf and so fourth. smile.gif

get my car washed for free too. less than 1 hr my car ready.. smile.gif

actually its free until 40k or 2 yrs (labor + parts) for City.

For the I-DSI is 7 speed, how bout for the vtec version?? 5 speed?

QUOTE(kingkong81 @ Jan 4 2008, 09:49 PM)
How can I-dsi have more speed than V-tec  doh.gif

Previous city, both i-dsi & V-tec oso have the 7-gear transmission shift available. Now the new city only V-Tec got.
Basically i suppose both oso have 7-gear transmission, but V-tec enable you to change the gear manually by using the 7-gear shift.

Correct me if I'm wrong  hmm.gif
*
vtec is also 7 speed plus manual shift.

its actually virtual 7 speed. The CVT has indefinite number of gear ratio. Its driven by a pulley (belt). with 7 speed mode on, the CVT put the 'virtual' 7 steps of gear ratio. the experience is, when u activate the 7 speed, u will notice a gear change (like normal auto car, CVT geared car we will never notice this) and u can feel the torque coming plus RPM will increase. Good for sporty driving and reaching 140km/h is easy.

for further explanation of CVT : LINK

Cheerios for ur feedback. rclxms.gif
I believe it's about G**AMN time too... thumbup.gif

Anywayz, just to keep us in track, IMHO, (TS pls verify), our Gen 3 City actually started with the i-DSi version back in 2003.

The Gen 4 was 2005, after HONDA perfected the VTEC to fit into the City Gen 3... hmm.gif

Now, the End 07 / Early 08 "Gen 4.5" Facelifted is the talk of the town, but since we would wanna silence the HONDA Critics who favour the Dugong-VIOS Hybrid (no offence tongue.gif ), I believe the speculated 2008 Q2 new version would be based on an entirely different chassis design but still based on the platform of an ever-dependable City (Aria / Aria-Fit in Nippon)... just my pendapat harga dua sen... thumbup.gif

Kudos for those of us who bought a City end 07 (like me rclxub.gif )...
Congratulations on an investment well made for those of us who booked it early 08 (or oredi driving it... icon_idea.gif )
It'll be well worth the wait for those who may wanna wait for after Q2 2008...

Whatever, it is, like the saying goes... "HONDA: The Power of Dreams", so what's worth having is worth waiting for... icon_rolleyes.gif

Cheers, mateys... thumbup.gif

my previous car was small, so parking very easy. now this one different, hard to judge the distance.

when I went down and check, only saw it and immediately reverse my car abit, but too late, already got a small scar there, hurt  cry.gif
