Guess right or wrong?

Get a good check on the CVT gearbox before you place your money on it. Many sold off City just because of the CVT starting to have problems.

You better be blinded by the H than the P, otherwise you will forceably cleared your leave just to send your car to SC.

According to old reports in asia.vtec forums, this gear hunting symptom might be the startup clutch problem. Some of the fellow there replace the startup clutch under warranty... well, after much nagging to SC and direct call to Honda Malaysia HQ.

Don't delay, go to your SC fast.

Wear a watch.

Get a Casio STR-600 PHYS watch. It came with a slope/angle sensor that will auto illuminate when you turn your watch at your face, plus it recharges with sunlight - no need to change battery. Who needs clock in car?



The CVTF replacement fix your aeroplane sound? I'm still wondering whether it is the nature of CVT, or just happen on few?!

Cool. Fixed liao. Is it just CVTF replacement then the sound gone?

Good Glad to hear that.

I heard the next new City coming 2008 Oct? Hope they remain the CVT.

Old info lah. VTEC - integrated audio system (no more Kenwood); Ultraseat; Water repellant seat fabric;...
iDSI - no more 7speed stunt; (if I remembered) can play MP3 already....

Go check official Honda site.

Where got say cannot play MP3?

Audio system is integrated into central console, that's all. And I suppose it is an upgrade on existing one - a better one.

Since when Vios is RWD?

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

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.

Just get a few ringging ringgit rubber mat from Carrefour or Giant is more than enough. Those hairy carpets feel nice when touch, but the dirt trapped inside are very hard to remove - sometime they say those as "3M" carpet.

Btw keep the original as clean and intact as possible. It looks pretty good when you look at it.

psi 200 I think your tire already go to heaven. Standard should be around 32psi +/- 3, or around 200~230kPa.

Dude, do check the unit, psi and kPa - a lot of different. You can try 200psi.

Just got info from SA that the current City (after Nov2007) has slight improvement and updates on every bits & pieces compare to the pre-Nov2007 ones, if I remember correctly, they are:
- stiffen ride for VTEC version due to complain from City VTEC owner
- ECU updates
- built-in antenna


I'm not sure whether this is true or not. But the CVT response I drove during the City FL 2006 vs a 2008 one has slight changes - newer one seems to have harder engine brake.

Any Honda/City owner can clarify?

New City will have i-VTEC as its heart and, might not be using CVT anymore - 5 speed auto with torque converter. If you like CVT, get it now.

Should be. Since the i-VTEC engine code is still L15A. And also no more iDSI engine - instead it should be replaced by L13A i-VTEC.

New L15A won't have 12v/16v mode already - constant 16v mode.
New L13A will have the 12/v16v mode.

L15A ... around 122ps.

Visually: Built-in antenna (printed on the rear windscreen), water repellent seats, build-in central console non-MP3 CD player, ultraseat.

From salesman: updated CVT firmware, stiffer shocks.
