confirmed - honda city 3g (2003) have electronic assisted braking system.

I've tried this yesterday on a downhill road. You should try this too and confirm.

Preparation : Make sure road is hilly enough so when you put the car in N, it will roll down slowly.

1. Turn on engine, switch gear to N
2. Pull handbrake
3. Turn off engine while gear in N, press brake a few times
4. Switch gear to R, press brake a few times
5. Switch gear to N
6. Release handbrake
7. Press brake pedal

You should feel brake power is 1/10 and you need more force to stop the car.

Pull handbrake to stop the car.

Start the car, and you will feel the difference.

I don't know whether this really shows that our CITY has electronic assisted braking because my Wira 1.6 also will have the same effect when I brake a few times while engine is turned off....

I'm now at the service centre. Within 3.5 years, Honda changed 2 batteries for me. The first battery was under warranty, so it's FOC. However, the second battery I am being charged now.
Car bought on 2006
2008, January - changed 1st battery
2009 December - chang-ING 2nd battery

I remembered last time, my Wira's battery can last few years! Is it true that City's battery becomes weak very soon? Please enlighten...

I was facing difficulty to start sometimes...

In 3.5 years changed 2 batteries already? Your battery dead is because of overdrawn in current from your car? If need battery replacement also don't get from them,theirs are expensive.

Er really? I thought mine is slow sweat.gif
I'm thinking of adding the Powerbooster and Miniturbo. Based on reviews by others, this should further increase pickup smile.gif and quite cheap compared to other mods.
I second that. Plus, don't get the maintenance free battery but get the water type instead. I have a neighbour who's a foreman and a machanic friend that both say water / acid? type is better. Recently bought a heavy duty battery cost me about 200+ i think. So far very good, even if i leave car for some days can start with ease.

Aaargh! You mean, those battery by Honda is not the water/acid type? No wonder! It costs me 170 for the short life span battery . Sigh....

*now can feel the starter is more "energetic".
