Back from outstation trip for CNY, drive my PMM City all the way. It's already 1k and ready for its first service.
A few things I found after driving the car:
1. I only get around 11km/L in avg, maybe the engine is still new.
2. My trip was bumpy ride, and I feel the car is bumpy when I drive over 90km/hr. Get choked if you drink in the car. Perhaps due to the 16" rims and tyre.
3. Rear bumper 'slipped' down. I can see it's not intacted tightly now. I found this after reaching destination. Will need to ask my SA when I send it back for service.
4. Alarm will not sound if rear boot is opened.
5. The alarm sound is so wheeny, a baby's cry is even louder.
6. The air con is not fast cooling, my old wira is better. 3rd speed is so loud. Try to turn to fan speed 3, then turn on both leg and front cooling, it sounds like you got a hole somewhere in the pipe. Wira air con is much better in control.
7. During overtaking, good response in change of gear, but engine sound quite noisy...paddle shift is good in control.
If you have the same experience, please share as well.
1. The most i get was 12.2km/l only. As long as I stay on highways (with no jam) longer the FC is lesser. =(
2. Unlike Toyota, Honda is made for better handling and therefore reduces comfort.
3. No problem with the bumpers but the double sided tape of my rear car plate is peeling off. Wondering if during service they can stick it again for me.
4. That's normal for the NHC.
5. Agree. Alarm is too soft.
6. No problem with a/c. Cools pretty fast but when turn to both leg and front cooling it is loud.
7. When "tekan" engine revs up to around 4k rpm and is loud (noisy). Got no paddle shift (Grade S)
8. Handbrake seems stiff but doesn't lock the tires hard enough. Need to do some adjustments during 1k service.
9. Quality of production in terms of workmanship is pretty poor. Nothing much can do about it I guess.
Wanna ask you guys. If I am to do tinting and waxing, technically which 1 should I go for first?
