QUOTE(hades09 @ Mar 24 2009, 05:19 PM) Bro....it is stable......you feel comfortable even at that speeds..... try that in a Proton and reach 160 you begin to pray already....... I tried on the highway....so little cornering..... so it felt stable loh..... dont intend to drift at that speeds...ehehehehehhe That's to fast for NHC. 195KMH... the fastest speed i ever reach 160kmh.. the body still stable but will feel a bit float.. this car not for speed. My previous ride was Satria Neo.. 160kmh very easy to reach.. top speed 200kmh with my neo.. Change my ride from neo to NHC bcoz i think i need to slow down.. drive safely..

QUOTE(stormlcc @ Mar 24 2009, 08:08 PM) sorry for the long awaited replies: The ride is very uncomfortable, especially the back seats, the steering is too light and way too sensitive on high speeds and quite unpredictable when u reached the 200kmph mark. The throttle response is...........no response at all should i put it honestly, either u dont step on it or u push it to the metal. Very hard to control your speed and keep to a constant speed. quite noisy when reaching 140kmph. handling is rubbish as predicted, but it is catastrophically bad when u r travelling at 150kmph i have different view here, bcoz my friend enjoyed sit at the back seats, took a long journey around 5 hours ride and he even thanks me bcoz of reclining seats.. when i drive with passenger inside my ride will be not more than 140kmh. this car is not for speed.. handling is acceptable.. but yes cannot compare to my satria neo.. I will not say it rubbish.. Do you think those ppl built this car for rubbish???? i dont think so.. this car just fun for ride but not perfect.. if you looking for perfect one.. why not buy the AM3, or other luxuries car.. may be you owned a very good car, so of course you will feel very disappointed.. in term of FC honda city is one of the best on its league.

its owez a huge debate on FC.. some said never rev more than 3000rpm and still got less than 400KM and some said average 450KM.. My full tank normally took me around 450-500km and most of the time driving on uphill road. Highway driving should be better.. last time i'm able to get more than 600km with full tank (no uphill road).
guys u should look at many factors; 1) Road condition (uphill, highway, city ride, etc.) 2) driving style (fast, moderate, slow) 3) Car weight (driving alone, with passenger,etc)
all above factors will affect ur FC..
mine most of the time driving alone.. my wife driving another car.

QUOTE(bluesky87 @ Apr 1 2009, 01:32 AM) Hi zoule HCo, how much does the device and installation fees cost you? Mind to share some photos? I forgot to take the pic b4 installing the kit on my NHC.. This device plus installation cost me around RM1800. It is from Takashimaya. very good. You are the only person authorize by the system to ride the car. The engine will shut down when other ppl try to drive the car. They will give you a scan card which is u are the only one have it. plz feel free to surf their website.. http://www.tksmy.com/

QUOTE(waque @ Apr 1 2009, 07:43 PM) sound like a very good security system. if lose the scan card how? can get a new one from the shop? or they give spare one? I'm very interested in this. they will give u two card. if you lost the card you can reset the system by key in the secret pin number.. (which is u are the only one know the pin number) The pin number also can be change. The best part is, when u open the door, the door will reset the system n need to do another scan to let u ride the car. So if u leave the car or forgot to switch off the engine (on rush) and if other ppl try to hijack the car, the system will beep for 30 second which is asking u to scan the system. if no scan process the engine will shut down automatically.. I use to keep the scan card in my wallet, so it will scan automatically when enter to the car. The scan card only works on 1 feet distance.

QUOTE(theGOne @ Apr 3 2009, 02:03 PM) My first tank also lasted for ~310 km. About the same as my previous wira. Guess the engine is still "new". Will see whether there's any improvement maybe after 1st 1k service. 1st service (1000KM) doesnt change anything... engine oil will not change.. its only happen for 5k service.. will make appointment for 5k service this month.. gonna change engine oil with fully syntactic oil..

QUOTE(zairee2580 @ Apr 25 2009, 10:23 PM) I used to study in Langkawi (the good about free tax is there is plenty of chocolate, I don't drink & smoke) for 2 years. Bought a recon EH9 there. When bringing back the car, still got tax. round-up about the same price with the car here with the same year.  My friend bought Toyota Avanza from Labuan and he was transfer to the main land. The car was aged less than 6 month. Avanza price around 45k (Labuan price). My friend paid 5k tax for the car.. I also surprise.. how they do that.. Veeeeerrrry Cheap man..

QUOTE(wilbrightj @ May 11 2009, 09:07 PM) So did u just use the free mineral oil honda provide or did u request for upgrade to semi-syn or syn?? mind to share on ur 5K service..  They give me semi synthetic oil for free. The Supervisor said it is "standard" for any Honda car. So i'm glad they use semi synthetic. No mineral oil. No need to request for upgrade. I'm working in Sabah. The only service center in Sabah located at Inanam, Kota Kinabalu. The Staff also very polite.. what ever i want to know the will answer in a manner and lot of information.
