QUOTE(stormchaser @ May 13 2008, 09:40 AM) Thanks.. still considered very good FC... Plan to get 1 few months later... hopefully the new city comes earlier then the older city might be cheaper kekeke.... haha.... Can i look at the meter to verified the FC of the particular car that I want to buy? I noe city dashboard meter have this function.. The year 03 version can't calculate the average fuel compsumtion one,the newer version can.

Idsi isn't that bad while travelling at low speed.When comes to high speed then the pick up time will be a bit slower than VTEC one.

I think not until the level of drink water for vtec if you compare to other cars.I heard VTEC is also quite saving fuel,just that a little bit lost to IDSI only.

QUOTE(PETABITE @ Jun 1 2008, 05:25 PM) aik, i think 45 series will hit the fender? or need to mod something to make it fit? really noob in this thing.. And about fc between idsi n vtec is very minimal i think. Mine is vtec n my auntie is idsi, drove her car more than 3 months as she got transfered last year. Both with RM80 of petrol will go around 550-650km, depend on the driving. Harsh driving n sudden stop consume more petrol, me old already, drive slow n steady, rm80 can get me more than 650km. Thats on 17" tires, if using 15" i get more. My record with 15" is 715km for RM82 of petrol. From Sabak Bernam to Kuala Terengganu.  Your City is doing preety good job for travelling so faraverage is RM0.114/km. What was the speed you were driving?

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(terence4ever @ Jun 2 2008, 12:11 PM) juz attended the Honda Safety Driving Course yesterday (1/6). Is a very great activity and opportunity for us to learn bout various driving skill and know our car capabilities. I personally like the ABS training, very cool, the instructors let us feel the experience of ebrake with/without the ABS on dry/wet road condition. As the result, without the ABS, the car can be out of control and spinned 180 (some model even spin more then that) but if with ABS, the car is under control and wont spin like crazy. The course combined both theory and practical session and every ppl got the chance to test it out. Another cool things is apart of it, we also lucky to see our malaysia air force military perform their air fighther training, their flying skill is so cool~ 360 spining, overhead turning, low and slow flying etc. and even got a missle fire training (by using a flare and non-destructive missile) Last but not least, ofcoz is the test drive session we wait for so long  There are 4 cars for us the slect for the test drive: The Legend (only 1 in M"sia, RM600k++!!), Type-R, New Stream & New Accord. Due to times constarint, we only allowed to test drive 1-2 cars that we choose, but since there is some raining during the test drive session and some ppl give up to wait and went back.....so...i'm lucky to got the chance to test drive 3 cars (Legend, Type-R, Accord)!! Its really a great experience!!! You have a nice driving experience over the great cars.I've never tried before.The course is hold in the close circuit area ? QUOTE(jinyee80 @ Jun 2 2008, 12:19 PM) Hello guys, Okie, just an update. Currently my VTEC Sparkle Grey's mileage stands at around 8k. Facing a problem now. There's squeezing sound from the rear of the car. I have check the rear passenger seat and the boot and realised the problem is not from these places. Perhaps this is due to the suspension because almost everytime when I went over the bump, the squeezy will be audible. Please help, anyone. 8k only the suspension won't be audible unless your car always drive and pass through the bump with fast speed.If your car still under warranty,you can consult the SC.

If got money, sure will go for it (nearly RM200k!! 1 Legend = 3 Type-R) Manual gear (yeah, my favorite), and the powerful accelerator power (ofcoz, the handling is excellence too!!) Thumbs up!!! so guys, if u got the chance to attend the course, dont miss it!!! Probably u only got this golden chance to drive it once in your lifetime (especially The Legend)  Drive in close circuit,that's cool.You are really lucky cause can drive the Type-R & Legend.

QUOTE(PETABITE @ Jun 2 2008, 03:46 PM) Everage usage for daily driving is around 80km/h-90km/h.. Highway driving is around 120-140km/h.. No sudden brake, not rushing n not bringing another passenger with me.. Glad to hear that,but mine one can't as save as your.  I think you are one of the guy who has best fuel comsumption over other City drivers here.

The wind sound is only coming form 1 side of the car? Mine one is coming from the driver seat,suspect from windscreen side.My one sometimes is audible when driving about 90km/h.This depends on the direction of the wind too.

QUOTE(jinyee80 @ Jun 3 2008, 05:19 PM) After checking all the boot area, then I realised the 'sound', (shouldnn't call it squeezy sound because it did not sound 'eik' that kind...hope my lame explaination is comprehendible) came from the left speaker OR the boot cover. The sound is sort of 'tuk' when the car went over uneven road. Anyone know whats that? or how to check? Oh means the sound is coming out from the speaker or the boot cover?That's weired,speaker and boot cover shouldn't give you the sound like that.The sound "tuk" when goes to uneven road?Do you mean something like during crossing the bump ?

QUOTE(jinyee80 @ Jun 4 2008, 12:47 AM) I am not sure whether its from inside of the speaker or boot cover. Anyone ahs this kind of problem before. Normally when this kind of problem happen, do you think i should go back to Honda service centre, and the thing is are they willing to dislocate everything just to find out the weird sound for me? Actually i suggest you to go SC for checking if your car is still under warranty.If they are not willing to check the problem,then you might try to complain them or just go other SC only.
