normally i drive 90km/h.. the rpm is at 2k.

I remembered someone did respray in SC.. it's cutting throat.
SC also sent your car to other workshops.
is your car paint peel off? or his car paint stick on your car?
if your car paint peel off, ask ur neighbor to pay the bills.. it's his fault anyway.

If the scratch is not long, deep, or big, you can try DIY touch-up paints for cars. Yo can get a bottle (30ml) for about RM21.90 at Eneos One Utama and paint yourself (or force your neighbor to do it for you ). Check your car's color code/name (e.g. Vogue Silver) and then try hv a look see at the paint catalog available there at the shelf. Most Honda car colors are available last time i check.

Dunno its effectiveness though coz i too am planning to hv a try. But it does looks promising.

by any chance, if you need a good SA from penang...let me know...i have a contact SA who is quite steady and good in service... and probably he can try to match the highest discount given...

dont go to Kah motor

It's quite deep on one of the scratches ( around 2cm X 1/2 cm ) the paint peel off. Tried Soft 99 and could only remove most of it... Still the scratches mentioned above still there..

Added on January 7, 2008, 8:27 pmDid my 1k service today. Told them about the scratches... They just say will tried to polish it out. But at the end of the day still cannot. Sigh.

Yeap, his car color stick on my car but after the SC polish for me some of the minors one came off..
Don't think can ask him to pay for these tiny scratches... It's a bit over if i go and spray whole bumper just because of 2 cm scratches right? Just feel "pain ma" 1 month car nia ...

Anyway I waited 3 hours for the 1st service... I tot it was suppose to be just checking..

Added on January 7, 2008, 8:29 pmSerious? Only sell in One Utama?
I wonder my sparkle grey is there or not?

Between I'm a penang kia.... last time stay KL can go buy anytime ler .... stay just behind One U.. now so far... sigh..
If you got chance pass by Eneos there, take a peek for me for my car color .. At lease I know they;re selling and can plan a trip down sometime

Added on January 7, 2008, 8:38 pmOh ya, here's my summary of my 1K service.

1. Reach SC Kah Motor Penang. - the receptionist a bit lan-si felt like previous proton people. I was standing in-front of her and she just continue talking with her colleague about calender. When I said excuse me.... she said WAIT ... walau... wait what? CNY ah? 1st impression not good liao .. disappointed!

2. Booked at 2PM and was told can finish around 3 something..

3. Things to complaint
a) Rooftop rubber lining came off a bit
b) Do tire alignment
c) Repair the bumper paint

4. Waited until 4.30 for my car -- ishh, by the way, not many cars today also. I wonder what took them so long. My bumper? Haha

5. No free car wash ...

The only thing that is nice is I met my SA and get to talked to her the whole time while waiting...

My experience of 1st 1K service at Honda. - So So nia.. not like I expected.

A common problem with early batch CVT City's (both VTEC and i-DSI) is the "rubber-band" feeling when accelerating from a standing stop. This is due to the ECU/electronic control of the CVT tensioner belt, and has since been fixed by a firmware update at authorised Honda service outlets ...

Less informed workshops may lay-blame on the fluid, or even say the CVT gearbox unit is konked (possible, but unlikely).

But as with Honda cars in general, best to always stick to genuine fluids or "Honda approved" fluids. A good example is the power steering fluid and coolants. Honda has its own proprietary PSF formulation that is NOT compatible with the usual "Dexron/Dexron2,3...etc" that is generally used for ATF and PSF in other cars.

Same goes for Honda cooling systems. The coolant must be "organic-based" , means free of borates, nitrates, nitrites, sillicates. And this pretty much rules out almost all aftermarket coolants (esp those nasty ones u can buy at petrol stations).


A good source for City owner experience would be to get in touch with the "TeamCITY" dudes around. These guys are way passionate (and nuts) about their City's and also whatever mods they have done as well.

Hope this helps all new would-be City owners.

Yeap... It's for Accord 06... However for City 08 is 2.18% 7 years loan... Go to Honda for more info dude...

the website there write from 1.38% le, never mentioned whether it for city or what

You can always complain to Honda HQ. But I suggest you talk nicely to your SA first. Which showroom you book your car?

i think it's RM850 and not RM800....

Guys, I'm a newbie here, would like to join here so next time if I got any City's problem I can ask any master around here coz I juz ordered a Bluish I-DSI model, probably will get within this month

Ok dude, if stumble upon a trip to eneos ill give a look see for ya..

Supposedly it can, as its selling points are covering minor scratches and chipped paint. Ive yet to try it myself. planning to buy a bottle myself and try coz my car too got small white dots.. maybe this weekend..

if it works ill post it up here

Is it a normal phenomenon nowadays or wat?
My VTEC also has 2 small grain-sized chip marks right under the HONDA emblem at the front...
Wat do u guys think??? Polish or Soft 99 can help ah???
Summore mine is Satellite Silver, susah mau agak which colour is the closest mah...
Can't just settle for the generic beige, isn't it???
Tolong!!!
