I was thinking to be separate so that the HC3 thread would be discussion between members and this one for general discussions.
We'll use the HC3 thread till we get our own Boards (in the not-so-distant future) whistling.gif

I agree with you sysh...hope to get our board soon for HC3 so that owners/member can do their thing there. This thread should be for general stuff that includes the general public.

Good job on opening up v3.0!

In Malaysia, it's called 3rd generation. Malaysia didn't get the first 2 generations.

Yeah...we're following Honda Malaysia's definition of 3rd generation as we did not receive the first two models. To others (incl. TeamCity people) it's known as 5th Gen. Can be confusing, I know but just bear this in mind.

Not bad. For door visor, it's easy to spot original or replica. Original uses clips while replica uses double way tape.

Just talk with my SA. She said "I haven't receive any pay slips from you, so I can't proceed with loan" FXXK!! If so, she should call me and inform me. I'm waiting her call. Now she tell me that she need the pay slips. Going to Jalan 222 this Saturday. After she get it, will apply loan. I'm getting March's car. So fxxking late. I've been waiting since 25 of Dec 2008.

Can those who has received their cars describe the procedure?

1. Apply loan.
2. Loan approved, wait for car.
3. Car reached, pay full amount of down payment.
4. Paid DP, SA will proceed with registration at JPJ.
5. Once JPJ approved, go to the showroom to get the car.

Or pls kindly describe? Thx. notworthy.gif

I prefer BBM. It just looks like BMW. How much is it to change the cushion seat to leather seat?

Also, how much to get the whole car tinted?

Added on February 18, 2009, 1:55 pmI think i dont quite like new City is the interior where the radio, aircond controllers are placed. Also the steering doesnt come with the button which you could use to reduce/increase volumn etc.

For the tinting of your car, depends on the brand of your tint, whether you get the security film, etc etc. So the price range we're talking about can be quite big.

The placement of where the radio and aircond controllers, you'll get used to it after a while. When I first saw the car I didn't quite like it too. I've now driven my car for about a month now, and its perfectly fine!

The E-Specs does have the volume control button on the steering.

Wow! V3 already!
I noticed the pricing for modulo kits got some mistakes with numbering 7,00??
Mine is 13.4km/l. Is it bad?
I reset my meter by holding down for 2 sec. It won't affect anything right? It start to calculate my trip from 0.0 till 17.8. Is that mean i have drove 17.8 km? And before starting my car in the morning, i see the cold temperature display on. Wait for 5 mins still there? Means my car engine temperature is low? But i thought it suppose to go off after a few second? Or after we start the engine, the engine became warm, then the cold temp light off?
I wish to install auto lock. (lock when press the brake only) and make my alarm louder. (too soft, even dog barking is louder than it)
What should i start off?

...well, what's written on Wiki isn't necessary correct, or in this case applicable to us.
As I've mentioned in the v1 thread, the reason why it was chosen 3G was 'cos Honda Malaysia officially 'labeled' it as the official 3G.
Hence, the rational for using that label. smile.gif

I will never buy original or replica Modulo kits because:
1. They're ugly.
2. They're over-priced.
3. Got kit macam no kit. A waste of time.

13.4km/l is not bad for new City. For the tripmeter, holding it any longer won't have any function or impact. Yes, it means you've travelled 17.8km. I noticed that new i-VTEC engines are hard to warm. Even my R20A engine is slow too.

Regarding auto-lock, you should fix one for your safety and convenient. Alarm will not get louder with default Honda security system. It's because it's embedded within ECU. There's only one way to do it - change alarm.

Yes, change the alarm. They'll unplug your original Honda alarm and replace with the new alarm. So your original Honda alarm will be deemed useless, so do the buttons on your key.

The waveblade key is really nice. That holds me from changing my original alarm.

There's so many in the market la friend. Honestly, I think product A and product B has little to no difference between them. Do you understand the technology behind them? After reading so many brochures, they all look the same with a bunch of really technical jargons that nobody really cares about.

Stick with known brands like:

v-kool
ecotint
Llumar
3M

The chances that you will go wrong with them is quite low, and if you do, then really just suay luck.

We are going to install the autolock soon, cost around RM130. It will not void warranty but to add a small device to handle the autolock. One of our owner installed it at the same workshop and working well.

As for the alarm, one of our fellow owner has move the alarm from the boot to the bumper area. The alarm sounded much louder. He has checked with his SA that it would not void the alarm warranty as well.

I'd reckon to get a portable lock. Though useless, but it's just for show, better than nothing. My SA said installing a brake pedal lock may void brake warranty if you could not press the brake pedal fully to activate it.

IMO it's not worth it to change to a wider tyre in order to trade below for a more 'stable" feel:
1. Price is really not cheap for new one, low trade in value - I think around Rm150 for the stock tyre
2. Will get bad FC & less pick up power

And attention to all NHC Owners... please take note that the areas that I circle in red are the very high risk area to get scratch easily! I already got some scratches on the passenger side sad.gif sad.gif

Better get to 195/50... Or if can change the rim that can fit 205...
My old City using Pilot Preceda 195/50 and the grip is much more better, and pickup I still can get 8.2 secs... FC 520km average.

Ray Barrier with that price is ok for me... Although I did 3M.

I believe those are only white scratches, which is also known as plastic scratches. Not like those scratches you always find on side step/door sill. Wet cloth will solve the problem. smile.gif

i suppose its the norm for new cars these days. even my friend's brand new swift got some fine scratches at the back door hard plastic. as for her front doors both have more leather wrappings than the NCH. how i wish car makers are not being stingy on this.

does changing to say, 16in rims and wider tires affect much on the FC? wonder what is the diff in FC for those who use stock and those who dont.

Can you please elaborate why V-Kool is not recommended. Is it because of workmanship or the quality of the tint itself. A good friend of mine is the one who told me to get V-kool because he's been using it for more than 3 years on his Honda Civic and very satisfied with it. My SA is offering the tint to me for RM 1850, expecting to get my car by end of this month.
Thanks.

maybe because your mother judges the car from its looks as in material sense. obviously, previous honda city has better quality built interior than the new one. but dont worry, new city also has its pros where older ppl dont usually find it amusing, they prefer more practicalities.

I'm also in the middle to considering taking my car to a tint shop. I've experience with RayTech, honestly speaking, is quite a good value deal. for RM4XX, to get my SOLD Nissan AD resort tint and the effect is quite satisfying. nod.gif nod.gif

I have ecotint on my old Alfa 75 which is tinted by the previous owner. after some years, in the middle of the glass and tint film there is a lot of micro air bubble. Some said is because ecotint like to use some adhesive or "glue" to stick the tint, after some years, the "glue" turn bad and so the air bubble start coming out. yawn.gif yawn.gif

I reset my meter by holding down for 2 sec. It won't affect anything right? It start to calculate my trip from 0.0 till 17.8. Is that mean i have drove 17.8 km? And before starting my car in the morning, i see the cold temperature display on. Wait for 5 mins still there? Means my car engine temperature is low? But i thought it suppose to go off after a few second? Or after we start the engine, the engine became warm, then the cold temp light off?
I wish to install auto lock. (lock when press the brake only) and make my alarm louder. (too soft, even dog barking is louder than it)
What should i start off?

Yep.
My understanding from a fellow HC3 member is
1). Start car, press brake "Lock"
2). Switch off engine, "Unlock"
3). On / Off switch, I think it's to Lock / Unlock.. either that or to disable the lock (I think it's the former)
4). I'm not sure whether when you drive, it will automatically Lock. I think not for this one. Need bro Sync to confirm

i suppose its the norm for new cars these days. even my friend's brand new swift got some fine scratches at the back door hard plastic. as for her front doors both have more leather wrappings than the NCH. how i wish car makers are not being stingy on this.

No choice. Plastic is easier to fit in and cleaner. Looks classy too.

maybe because your mother judges the car from its looks as in material sense. obviously, previous honda city has better quality built interior than the new one. but dont worry, new city also has its pros where older ppl dont usually find it amusing, they prefer more practicalities.
for me its overrated n overly expensive. and one of our forumer has very bad real life experience with it, proofed with photos, certified by me in which those photos are not altered by photoshop lol.

Thankfully my mum's (6yrs) & mine (4yrs) no problem so far, looks just like the 1st day we got it.

I'm also in the middle to considering taking my car to a tint shop. I've experience with RayTech, honestly speaking, is quite a good value deal. for RM4XX, to get my SOLD Nissan AD resort tint and the effect is quite satisfying.  nod.gif  nod.gif

I have ecotint on my old Alfa 75 which is tinted by the previous owner. after some years, in the middle of the glass and tint film there is a lot of micro air bubble. Some said is because ecotint like to use some adhesive or "glue" to stick the tint, after some years, the "glue" turn bad and so the air bubble start coming out. yawn.gif  yawn.gif

Hmm... Definitely not so good compare to old one.... It is stupid Malaysian who don't appreciate CVT and now they take it off... And because kiasu Toyota bashing haha

And if you noticed... Paul Tan will definitely give good comment to Proton and only one... Other cars unless it is really superb then you will hear something good.

since the price was up compared to old 1, was expected pay for the power... but...
i'm a honda fan too... plan to go for this city, since the price already 86K or 90K, was expected better HONDA power, but, nvm, will try to get another test drive, hope can get a long road instead of just few turn and drive back... sigh...
if really feel underpower, then no choice, go for vios j already, since air bag for me not important... wah kakaka... i hope honda comes out a single or no air bag version of city too...

Eh default speakers = can do la. For those not picky, then it's probably good.
In no way will your default speakers be better than aftermarket, unless your car has a L logo and the audio has a mark levinson logo on it. laugh.gif

IMO it's not worth it to change to a wider tyre in order to trade below for a more 'stable" feel:
1. Price is really not cheap for new one, low trade in value - I think around Rm150 for the stock tyre
2. Will get bad FC & less pick up power

And attention to all NHC Owners... please take note that the areas that I circle in red are the very high risk area to get scratch easily! I already got some scratches on the passenger side sad.gif sad.gif

I'm going to do my interior coating sometime on Fri:

Interior upholstery Cleaning & Vinyl / Leather / Fabric Seats Protectant Application Service
The Tasks :-
Vacuuming of vehicle's interior ;
Cleaning of seats and carpets with our Gun-It Deodorizing Stain Remover or good quality cleaning chemicals ;
Cleaning of dash board, door panels and edges, windscreen and windows
Application of our Leather / Vinyl / fabric protectant to Leather / Vinyl / fabric seats, door panels and dashboard.
Final inspection of vehicle's interior before handing over of vehicle to customer.

Hopefully it will protect my interior better and keep it clean and shinny always.

The audio in NHC is considered good and better comparing to previous gen. What is the unsatisfied issue is the gear smoothness matter and interior quality. Honda shouldn't increase price for this NHC I personally think.

ya previous generation of city audio quality is damn lousy. indeed the gear smoothness matter need to be improved but it is because of the 5 speed problem i think, need to get used to it... of course u cant compare the smoothness with CVT.
interior quality is consider ok for a 1.5cc car. about the pricing, why not juz compare this city with Vios G spec, u will realise that this city is totally worth to get than toyota anytime.

vios J variant is the worst car i have ever seen from toyota. 70k+ to get that type of car, i would rather go for waja cps full spec. those buying j spec vios think that they bought something cheap and bargain, but they couldn't know that is failure product from toyota, and it is tin kosong. if 70k get hyundai accent 1.6 better alot, solid alot... (no offense, juz personal opinion)

waja cannot le, cant stand for that design...

thanks to tin kosong, it make the car lighter and more power... but does this tin kosong easily kill passenger when accident? hehe... toyota wont cacat until that kind of situation... failure product or not, i dun think so as long the price was cheaper... the new i-vtec seems promising, but it doesnt do well as we expected, does this called a "little failure" also? tongue.gif

buy hyundai? another no... design lose to vios... and second hand value lose also... i will change car around 4 years time... that time how much accent can sell?
for vios J, thanks to the G and S spec, the second hand value wont differ much... as u check for the old E and G spec, the 2nd price just differ for 2-3K, sometimes no differ at all... so i assume when i sell my car, my 2nd value just roughly 4-5K lower than the G or S spec...

i love honda too... but money says everything... lol...

Just collected my DLB E-Spec this afternoon. It was nice to finally be driving in one after looking at other people's ride for 2 months! laugh.gif

I can definitely confirm that the audio system is definitely better than many standard audio equipment. It sounded nice and it works great with my iPod nano. Don't intend to ever use the CD player, will be playing everything from the iPod instead.

Gear problem? Well, I find the usual suspects about what some reviewer don't like about the new gearbox but it's just its characteristics. Once you drive it enough, you'll get use to it and make the best out of it. You got to remember, it's an engine build for low to mid range torque. So its 1st and 2nd gear's ratio is pretty close. Pickup is good but top speed suffers. You win some, lose some. That's life. Nothings perfect. NHC is built for being fuel efficient and city driving, not drifting or track race bred. A different animal altogether, cannot compare like we compare Civic FD2 or Type-R performance la.

Got 3M solar and security tint done. Taking it to PPS tmrw morning.

Oh...just a note...tell your SA NOT to polish your car. Just wash and rinse. If they are not careful, they will scratch the paint with their incorrect use of DA orbiter machine. I got some minor scratches on the A-pillar on the driver side. I didn't care much as my PPS session will solve it.

I got the tint package at RM2380 from my SA (Normal price is RM2800). It includes :

Front : IR70 (70% IR - for it to be SmartTag safe)
Rear : CR70 (99% IR - for max heat rejection, since the front is lower)
Sides : 6 mil security tint with 99% IR (for security purposes)

All tints are original 3M. Best spec I can find.

It's at Klang, Nanyang haha nego job my mum done it all. Really amazed coz my mum can get 1.2k cash rebate even at last minute before getting my car. Which, further with free gifts (1 umbrella, 1 T-shirt), 1 set modulo door visor (suspect is replica), and 1 full tank. Guess my mum had made the manager sweat tongue.gif He promised had only given others by rm500 + free gift maximum.

Well for the tint from Ecotint, I am getting Ray Barrier which priced half plus a thousand. I read a post from a forumer stating Ray Barrier with 1.3k? hmm.gif

It's at Klang, Nanyang haha nego job my mum done it all. Really amazed coz my mum can get 1.2k cash rebate even at last minute before getting my car. Which, further with free gifts (1 umbrella, 1 T-shirt), 1 set modulo door visor (suspect is replica), and 1 full tank. Guess my mum had made the manager sweat  tongue.gif  He promised had only given others by rm500 + free gift maximum.

Well for the tint from Ecotint, I am getting Ray Barrier which priced half plus a thousand. I read a post from a forumer stating Ray Barrier with 1.3k?  hmm.gif
VLT=63%
UVR=99%
IRR=95%

Dear people,

I gathered the infos of TINT fr this thread. I cant reconfirm the prices for those tints since I'm not the 1 who went to get it but other forumers were and they shared their experiences here - really hope thay can reconfirm those data I've gathered; like bro andy with his bad experience with V Kool. I just collected all their experiences and compressed into 1. Sorry for any uncorrect fact(s).

One man's meat is another man's poison...

Up to you to decide what's best for you la. Safety feature are important (Airbags, BA, ABS etc...) and it comes with a cost. Just don't wait till something unfortunate to happen before you say 'I should have...". A bit late then.

Happy getting a Vios J and enjoy your ride bro...that's the most important thing.

Dear Rakyat,

Whether vios J or NHC, both are good cars compare to proton in terms of styling and features. If you wanna go for looks, NHC will be your first choice. If you don't have extra money, vios J

As simple as that.

We are going to install the autolock soon, cost around RM130. It will not void warranty but to add a small device to handle the autolock. One of our owner installed it at the same workshop and working well.

As for the alarm, one of our fellow owner has move the alarm from the boot to the bumper area.  The alarm sounded much louder. He has checked with his SA that it would not void the alarm warranty as well.

DIY? hmm.gif
I dun care if my warranty void. all i want is
alarm sound louder
using original honda key button to lock/unlock car (i also in love with the design) blush.gif
and install brake lock (lock the doors when press brake pedal)

RM130 for making the alarm sounds louder, and a button (on steering's right position) to lock/unlock car, right? hmm.gif

waja cannot le, cant stand for that design...

thanks to tin kosong, it make the car lighter and more power... but does this tin kosong easily kill passenger when accident? hehe... toyota wont cacat until that kind of situation... failure product or not, i dun think so as long the price was cheaper... the new i-vtec seems promising, but it doesnt do well as we expected, does this called a "little failure" also?  tongue.gif

buy hyundai? another no... design lose to vios... and second hand value lose also... i will change car around 4 years time... that time how much accent can sell?
for vios J, thanks to the G and S spec, the second hand value wont differ much... as u check for the old E and G spec, the 2nd price just differ for 2-3K, sometimes no differ at all... so i assume when i sell my car, my 2nd value just roughly 4-5K lower than the G or S spec...

i love honda too... but money says everything... lol...

yo dude...

check my info beside, "the power of dreams" already put long long time ago, start 2004 maybe? haha... last time used to drive a accord with big zerotohundred sticker somemore... hahaha... laugh.gif
dunno egiewan still remember me or not... tongue.gif
i love honda, cause enjoy revving their engines and enjoy the power...

but now the NHC did received some bad comment about the engine lack of power when in highway... this really make me shocking.gif ...
somemore the price was more expensive than old version... if pay for better power is ok, if is not... a bit sweat.gif

and the price is not cheap compared to vios J... i take vios J to compare is, because i dun wan the others accessories, If vios j compared to NHC S, still more than 12K different, not to mention toyota can get more discount and topmark will trade in my current car for higher price...
but i may go for NHC if they give the 4K discount, will slowly find which dealer and ask in the right time... tongue.gif
honda dealers can give discount up to 4K depends they wan or not... dun ask why i knew this... rclxub.gif

for the vios J like tin kosong, i would like to know wat makes it tin kosong if compared to G or S... does those small accessories will effected the chasis? whistling.gif
or the vios J spec get lesser welding point than others? whistling.gif
but all manual vios from UMW to test with TRD are vios J oh...

if the vios J really hav lousy chasis compared to G or S, do tell me the truth, so i will skip it... dun just "i feel"...

The rear looks funny, but I somehow can still come to close one eye to it. But on the front... OMG.. Can't agree more. Its totally awkward and downright silly looking... Its really pushing fugly to the limit.

there is also another option. I choose my number at JPJ myself using RM360 (if not mistaken) so you can choose most of the numbers, excluding those like single and double digit, 8888, 1688, 6688 ....

Interesting reading in http://asia.vtec.net/Reviews/3GCityTrivia/index.html.

"The most important question one has for any Honda VTEC engine will always be at what rpm VTEC engages. I asked this question and was told by Nakamura-san that even he is not sure exactly!"

You forget what market the Vios J and Avanza are targetted at is it?

1. The Vios J is an entry level car without any frills, it's also one of the cheapest non-national cars that available. Your only other option would be KIA/Hyundai - better yes, but really notoriously BAD resale value. The Vios J is also great for people who mod - look around, plenty of those around. The 1NZ-FE engine is quite capable and with some modifications, you could actually fit a turbo to it.

2. Name me another NEW MPV (Chana MPV excluded) that's cheaper than the Avanza and is an MPV at the same price range. It also has to be available for the past 4 years. I think don't have loh - and for the Naza RIA, if I'm not mistaken, it's the same price as the Innova. Prior to the Grand Livina, I don't think there's anything that is remotely as good that's available. So if you uncle and auntie, what would you choose?

3. The Vios J and Avanza is being sold in Thailand for around 51k and 59.5k respectively. UMW also pocketed some profits no doubt, but who do you think cause the cars to skyrocket so much and for what reason? Like so many of your post - Undilah Barison Nasional! The government and our 'good' friend - Proton mad.gif

4. You think DRB-Oriental-Honda don't make a lot of money? Look at the new Accord, then compare with the Mazda 6. Price difference isn't great leh ah hia. But why CBU unit got more features and gadgets compared to CKD Accord? Makes sense meh? Even more bizarre is the CKD unit Peugeot 407 priced so much cheaper than Accord, Camry and Mazda 6 and comes feature loaded that puts the Japanese sedans to shame.

Eh, don't tell me that UMW only sells Avanza, Innova and Vios meh?
I never say Camry is bad woh. Camry is cool. That makes HM quickly release 8th gen of Accord because facelifted UC1 sucks.
I still remember what HM did to clear their stocks of facelifted UC1. They offered free leather seat, free GPS and extremely low 1.38% interest rate.

Eh, don't tell me that UMW only sells Avanza, Innova and Vios meh?
I never say Camry is bad woh. Camry is cool. That makes HM quickly release 8th gen of Accord because facelifted UC1 sucks.

I wish they sell like Toyota Indonesia - The new Alphard, only RM347k sweat.gif
Btw, Camry also use old engine like Altis what - it's also old engine in new shell le. Funny you never criticise that, or maybe you did and I dunno laugh.gif

Eh, I seriously don't know Camry's engine is unchanged. LOL Pardon me because I'm not really into Toyota.
The reason I bashed UMW is because UMW sucks, but UMW doesn't mean and represent Toyota Japan.
Seriously, Camry is a very nice car and classy. This one, I must admit.

At the end of the day, the government sucks most, if not for them - Vios/City would be in 40~50k range, Altis/Civic would be in 60~80krange and Accord/Camry would be under 100k.

Bro, just to let you know that the illuminated sidestep is NOT on all the time. It will only come on when the door is open. Once you close it, it will dim together with the interior room light. You can try it out yourself...press the door sensor at the B-pillar down and you'll see the sidestep light dim and goes off.

I know what you mean. To be exact, City should be RM57,980, Civic 1.8S should be RM71,800 and Accord should be RM88,800. All prices OTR with insurance. Blardy gomen make us pay ridiculous prices!

This morning i went to GLS Auto to do the auto-lock, they are so friendly and we chit chat about all sort of accessories. Suddenly i saw Autosol Metal Polish for their own usage and selling purpose. We are the Autosol sole-distributor in Malaysia, and they bought the imitation product from one of the near by hardware shop. I explain to them how to differentiate genuine and imitation metal polish, end up they will buy directly from me. Funny. LOL. Business for them and business for me. rclxms.gif win win situation.

It's at Klang, Nanyang haha nego job my mum done it all. Really amazed coz my mum can get 1.2k cash rebate even at last minute before getting my car. Which, further with free gifts (1 umbrella, 1 T-shirt), 1 set modulo door visor (suspect is replica), and 1 full tank. Guess my mum had made the manager sweat  tongue.gif  He promised had only given others by rm500 + free gift maximum.

Well for the tint from Ecotint, I am getting Ray Barrier which priced half plus a thousand. I read a post from a forumer stating Ray Barrier with 1.3k?  hmm.gif

hush, that much discount ahhh? that is a LOT!! shocking.gif

any malaccan here? those who bought/already receive their cars from Semabok branch, got any discount ah?
as for me, the car yet to arrive, tried to request for discount... zero! with all the excuses of "we don't earn that much of commission and etc etc".

what being offered is discount of RM200 if i go install Rike-Cool tinted.

seeing some of the guys/girls here getting door step, trunk tray board make me felt envious and wanted to cancel my order.
I asked for free trunk tray also cannot...

those Malaccan's that ordered but yet to receive please PM me so we can organize some sort of group discount request brows.gif

same with me lah..I also booked from semabok branch. Zero discount & very very cheap freegift/freebies. Ask for PMM before end-March, the SA said cannot unless I change another color. Everything also cannot mad.gif A bit regret to book there. Actually I'm working at Senai, Johor. The new branch here at Saleng can get the car (any color) minimum 2 weeks. My boss booked 2nd week of Jan and received before CNY....PMM color somemore. He even asked me to cancel my booking at semabok and try at Saleng instead.

I find Caltex a bit less economical but slight power compared to other petrols I've used.

I've only used Shell, Esso and Caltex so far for my previous car and I like Shell mileage. Atm, my mileage is 420KM on full tank and when the first few warning lights come on. I think I can get another 100KM if I really drive it close to empty.

Not sure can get 100% refund or not. If yes, then OK to cancel, if not then RM500 (25% from RM2000) is too much. Can use that money to do PPS or add other accessories hmm.gif

As mentioned before, you are supposed to get full refund if paid by cash. If by credit card, then minus the bank charges (abt RM40 or so). You ought to know your rights. If they still 'bising' then demand for your refund and tell them you'll contact Honda directly to complaint about them. They are there to serve YOU, not the other way around. Numb skulls!

anything is possible as long you havent sign the final document. because once you signed it, mean you have accepted the car and the payment will go through while that SA will get his/her commission. to earn your money, im sure the dealer/brunch will do anything for you even appoint other SA to you...with your valid reasons of course. good luck wink.gif

Added on February 21, 2009, 11:12 amGuys, I've a bad news here. All out of sudden, Fit Aria (known as City here) has disappeared from Honda Japan's website. It's most probably that Honda Japan WILL NOT launch the new City, hence you guys don't put too much hope on new MUGEN bodykit.

For last generation, MUGEN did release their City in car line-up, but this time, totally don't have.
I'm not sure why Honda Japan planned not to manufacture the new City.

Discuss about my car with my SA (cousin) this morning. He plan to give me a free tint but I inquire about 3M. He said 3M is good quality tint and very expensive so he won't be giving free 3M tint. He can only give me some discount for that.

He said the current interest rate is 2.75% but the % still depend on loan amount and loan payback years. I loan RM40k for 5years. Just passed my pay slips to him yesterday, he will apply loan most probably tomorrow. Once loan approve, wait for the car to arrive. At the mean while, he ask me to go to JPJ to get car plate number first. The car plate has 3months validity. There's RM100 runner's fee if he do it for me. I'm too lazy to go to JPJ. Have to queue and etc. Have to wait damn long as their speed is so "damn fast" cry.gif

My baby PMM most probably reached show room and ready to pick up around early of March since i've waited for so long (he said). rclxms.gif

I'll join the 2nd H3 TT session. tongue.gif We can take pictures of our baby together. rclxm9.gif

Hi guys, just want to ask where can I get the NHC operations manual. I will get my NHC next week and I don't think I have time to read the manual (will definitely drive first and only read the manual before going to bed). So I think this is the best time to read it before getting my NHC CBP.
Thanks,

This shud be the "mugen" design out for 3G city. Its not an official one by our Nippon side but has already made its way to SG n Thai.

The grille is optional, i kinda prefer retaining the stock grille.

The meter shows distance (kilometer) traveled per litre (km/l). So the higher the value the less fuel it uses or more distance traveled.

Yikes, looks like they've bastardize the front grille. It's gonna take some time to get used to it.
The front lip looks alright though.

The grille doesn't interest me leh. I feel it's a bit weird. Maybe it's due to City grille design. hmm.gif

same with me lah..I also booked from semabok branch. Zero discount & very very cheap freegift/freebies. Ask for PMM before end-March, the SA said cannot unless I change another color. Everything also cannot  mad.gif  A bit regret to book there. Actually I'm working at Senai, Johor. The new branch here at Saleng can get the car (any color) minimum 2 weeks. My boss booked 2nd week of Jan and received before CNY....PMM color somemore. He even asked me to cancel my booking at semabok and try at Saleng instead.

just called the Saleng, Senai branch. No gift / discount also, except full tank petrol.

but READY stock for blue and gold beige. PMM need to wait for 1 month! damn fasttt rclxub.gif

Hi guys, just want to ask where can I get the NHC operations manual. I will get my NHC next week and I don't think I have time to read the manual (will definitely drive first and only read the manual before going to bed). So I think this is the best time to read it before getting my NHC CBP.
Thanks,

Haiyoh...unless you go pinjam the manual off somebody who got their car already, don't think you'll get it. It's only a week more, be patient. You can read it bit by bit after that. I'm still reading my manual...3 days later. But I agree, must RTFM.

Yes, as long as you pay your road tax before 31st March 2009, but make sure to pay at post office so that you can get it instantly. If you pay at JPJ, it takes 1 week to synchronise post office's system. By that time, it'll be over due date.

I guess having a regular TT hangout haunt makes it more convenient logistically. But I'm sure it will get boring after a while.. if the rest are agreeable, tt anywhere also not a problem for me.!

anyway i am getting my car next saturday. Already signed the loan, bought my number, now waiting SA to complete the final stage for me. smile.gif
After getting car, first thing will do is tinting.

Where u guys install the auto lock?

Besides, today saw a steering lock which called "Stop Lock" and price rm220 but didn't buy it. Wanna refer here for better suggestion in buying a car lock.

1 more thing is the alarm. If i am not mistaken, I remember there was a forumer here sent somewhere to do some wiring and relocate job which cost rm20 only then he said the alarm sound has currently loud enough. Anyone else has done this?

Must do matter in First stage
1)tint
2)auto lock
3)alarm sound

I've seen a brake pedal lock while looking at some car accessories shops, the brand is DPlus Lock and the other is Locktech, they are almost the same. Is there somebody here using that lock? Kindly give some input. Or if you know any links about brake/steering lock please let me know. I also heard about gear knob lock for A/T, what is that?
Thanks.

Dear all NHC owner ..

Please enlighten me with some answer on the following questions;

1] I am about to get my new car in 2-3 weeks time, just wonder what to prepare... Must get the number first? Hmm .. confuse thought that the SA willl do those.. What is the actual process...

2] As far as I know, when the new car come, I need to go the branch to pay the remaining Downpayment right?? What next?? Any other cost or fees to pay?

3] After getting the car on that day, what to do next? Do tinting? Autolock? Will autolock void the HM guarantee? Hmm wondering what is the priority first... And also roughly how much more money need to put on the new HC...

Anyone can help on the above??

Thanks...

Many cars people can see their "front board" yet they hit stuffs like trees, lamp posts, other cars rear, dogs, children, etc etc

It's all about getting used to it. Park your car, get down and have a look. Eventually you'll know.

Yes, you can't really see the front bonnet let alone the bumper from the driver's seat.
You've got to get used to it. Anyway both the Civic and City has a short "nose", more so thru experience with the Civic (FD)
If you're parking against a wall, do what I normally do to ensure I don't nudge the wall... switch on ur headlights and drive slowly
till the light beam starts to converge on the wall. Then you'll know you're close enough.

Dear all NHC owner ..

Please enlighten me with some answer on the following questions;

1] I am about to get my new car in  2-3 weeks time, just wonder what to prepare...  Must get the number first? Hmm .. confuse thought that the SA willl do those.. What is the actual process...
Not necessary. Your SA will do it for you. Unless you want a certain number (ie. have to pay) then you might need to tender or purchase it before hand. For me, even if I want a number.. I'll just pay the SA the fee and ask him to do.

2] As far as I know, when the new car come, I need to go the branch to pay the remaining Downpayment right?? What next?? Any other cost or fees to pay?
When the car arrives.. for the car to be handed over, it needs to be registered, insured and paid up. So, your loan (if any) needs to be approved and you need to pay up the balance owing to HM.

3] After getting the car on that day, what to do next? Do tinting? Autolock? Will autolock void the HM guarantee? Hmm wondering what is the priority first... And also roughly how much more money need to put on the new HC...
As far as we know, the auto-lock mechanism doesn't void the warranty.. it's a good feature which you might want to consider. The rest would be tinting and / or PPS (paint protection system). All and all.. It will set you back perhaps 2.5k ? RM550 for PPS, RM130 for auto-lock and about RM1800 for tinting (a decent one)

Anyone can help on the above??

Thanks...

welcome to the forums. smile.gif
you're prolly the first from out of the country to grace this thread.
glad to know that you're enjoying your City. Which spec did you purchase anyway?
any niggling problems experienced in your 1 month of ownership?

Thanks for the welcome. I have the Auto S . But it does not have all the features which are there for your country. even the engine is detuned to 118 PS !!. Still a great machine.

Have a look at this review written by me here - http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-drives-...new-anhc-t.html
btw, I have been to malaysia once, to KL , great palce and lovely country.

Thanks Again.

Did my autolock with with sysh, chris, max.....

For the autolock, it is activated by your brakes/autolock button.. Once all four doors is closed and you step on your brakes/press the autolock button, then the autolock will be activated..

I personally got a discount on the car, a tinting discount, a tank of petrol, plus a swapping of number plates service from my SA (I am changing my car number plate at a later date)...

I think others here also got freebies such as umbrella, etc etc.. Its up to your negotiation skills on what you wana bargain with your SA really.! smile.gif Good luck.!

The China 1.5L spec Honda City is interesting:

It has everything you find in the Malaysian spec version but lacks

- Turn signal side mirrors
- Electronically adjustable side mirrors
- 4 speakers instead of 6
- rear reclining back seats
- audio controls on steering wheel

It does have an additional:

- Moon roof
- Auto lock
- side airbags bringing to a total of 4 airbags

Then again, their City is a whopping 27k+ cheaper as well sweat.gif

The premium spec China Honda City has all the missing features and adds:

- Cruise control option
- Leather seats
- 2 curtain airbags bringing to a total of 6 airbags
- Bluetooth handsfree system
- 1.8 i-vtec engine
- Retail price equivalent: RM80k rclxub.gif

Hi all,

Am a future Mar NHC PMM owner.. Have been browsing the comments but seldom reply due to bz workload.. Just wana share some bad discount that I got from my SA.. think probably the worst among u guys.. got nothing not even an umbrella.. booked 1 week before launching.. asked for discount but nothing get.. he said new car no discount.. after getting to know all the fabulous disc that u all have, i tried to demand from him but in the end nothing get too.. even for simple no plate WSH XX0 i need to pay RM350.. RM100 for runner fee.. and my 5 year satria was traded in for only RM10K.. i think i'm the fattest "water fish" in this thread..

oh yea he said no disc cos i got my own company loan and own insurance.. he earn pretty little out of the car commission.. anybody got from Honda Damansara? is it the trend there for not giving out disc? anyway my SA is a nice and polite guy that's one of the reason i didnt cancel the booking besides having to wait another 2 months..

fyi, I'm from Batu Pahat too.. think there are some BP forumers herel.. currently working in KL.. always see a CBP parking at Damansara Perdana as quoted by a forumer here.. am staying there..

Can't really blame the SA(s). They're trying to make a living for themselves. It's really up to us to be smart consumers. I myself got a lousy deal buying this NHC. I'm not gonna argue with the SA but no way on earth I'm gonna recommend anyone to him. Not even going to service at his SC. Let his manager screw him. Just received the Honda Survey letter. Gonna tick happily.

Anyway I'm really glad you guys created this thread and participate in it. It's really useful for a lot of people here. Myself included. Thanks guys.

True, they could at least give something to the buyers to entice them.
My brother also had a lousy SA (which I almost bought my car from him too). He gave nothing at all, maybe 1/3 tank of petrol. The service center (Kosmo Kars @ Glenmarie) sucks too.. took 3 hours to do the 1k service, and no free car wash or vacuum. I hope he gets his survey so he can comment on it. I think the Jln 222 branch is good, except that the showroom is small (only 3 cars inside) and the service center is a tad small, hence the congestion. besides that, the SAs are friendly and got lenglui too thumbup.gif

Just got my survey form... hehe *evil grin* I'm going to give them bad review kao-kao... *snicker*

Like what sysh said, I've got less than 1/3 of petrol tank, waited for almost 3 hours where I had an appointment and no free car wash and vacuum like my bro had. Plus people who came after me got their car earlier... vmad.gif There was another lady who complained why is her car taking so long.

My SA offered me that Wingard Royal. The test drive car they are using used that tint. It is a combination of safety and solar film but I find it a bit dark for me. I prefer solar tint only and end up to V-kool, I know a lot of people here are against V-kool but based on my friends experience I decided to go for it. Back to your question, it looks good and if you are after safety and don't have visual problem like me (can't see clearly at night) I think it is a good tint. My SA told me it is about RM 1800.

I can barely reach 400km with RM60 =.=. I wonder if it's because of the routes I take. Mostly jam. Anyway my 1k service at Peringgit also lousy. Waited 3 hours. No free car wash / vacuum nothing. SA saw me from far just smile. Don't even bother to come over and say hi or ask how's my car. Kns!

Errr.. my seems still smooth. I've washed my car say 3-4 times already. Haven't noticed any visible scratches, maybe 'cos it's silver.
Hmm. what type of car shamppo did you purchase? Raymond did recomment a 'balanced pH' shampoo. If you think that the PPS has
gone off, I think you can check with Raymond. There's this warranty receipt that he gave us. Perhaps you can read about it. But when
I asked him about the warranty, he was saying if it comes off or if the paint gets dull.. can go back to him. hopefully you can claim the
warranty on it. do let us know the outcome smile.gif

I done for the PPS too..and the 1st touch when after PPS was very smooth..feel quite happy rclxm9.gif
A few days after PPS i wash it by water..the smoothness still there..
BUT after a week..i decide to wash with shampoo..(normal car shampoo)..after washed..once i touch my car..OMG shocking.gif ..so rough n sandly feel..my heart also pain at the sudden..wonder izzit the shampoo not good or wat..so the next morning i went bk to sunway n ask the boss regrading this issue..he said" is like that, is normal, u cant expect very smooth like when u feel just after ur PPS that day".. shakehead.gif

so you got the experience like mine....... the boss cannot do anything right? whats type of shampoo you using? i already find something writen PH Balance as recommended by raymond..... i shampoo wash every week and even water wash every 1 to 2 days........ so the feeling like yours... a bit rough like rubber already....not the smoothness we got from the day we done pps...... i thought i will be there always to protect our car?
i also not sure is the PPS are doing the job as i don't feel anything different from my mom CRV paint.... seems same now...... my heart also pain... not becoz of money..... ecause it seems a bit scratch already.....

Well, PPS cannot protect your car from normal wear and tear so when you wipe off the car, the particles in your cloth will still cause abrasion and damage to the paint. Stone chips from daily driving are also issues that cause damage to your car paint and there's really not much you can do to protect against that. Still, PPS still makes it more resistant than your standard wax but swirl marks can still happen if proper maintenance isn't done.

Why do you think you still have to go back every half a year or so to Sunway for maintenance? wink.gif

Hmm.. that's quite weird. I will need to check the next time I wash my car. I'm using the shampoo that I bought from his shop. I do agree however the car doesn't shine as nicely as the first day. But I consider it still okay as it's still very easy and fast to wash the car. Maybe we can take notes the next time we go on TT? At least can always find out from Raymond why is it like that. Maybe his worker never put enough teflon?

Oh oh... damn... I was about to send to Raymond for coating.... but seems that its not what it should be?! sad.gif

Then what's the point of having the warranty if the shine and smoothness is no longer there? Can someone confirm this??? hmm.gif

Maybe chris_x can clarify on this matter?

Also, I think can test 1, as per their product description... "water will always float on the paint surface in the form of beads or water droplets and roll off the surface.."? So these few days rain, anybody noticed this on their PPS coated car?

honestly..... so far i didn't feel the power of this PPS........ maybe still new........ but it already seems same with my 2 years CRV,
i heard taiwan got 1 type can prevent from scratch one....... that one might be better...... but dunno where got.......


i think in their website already stated clearly..... it will "protect your car paint" not any other function though.... will it shine forever?? i really dunno and not really got confidence yet..... (i am not competitor or other.... i did my PPS on my NHC) from chris group with 20% discount also

I did PPS on Feb 14th. No doubt it's not as smooth as the 1st few days after PPS. Never wash with shampoo before after that coz every morning I'll clean with water. After rain, no more swirl marks but that's pretty much the same as normal waxing. =/

Actually PPS stands for Polarized Protection System

Well.. let me go and try later and see (currently at work, so can't check my car).
Should be leaving soon. Will see 'smooth' or not. I can't remember the name of the shampoo,
bought from his shop. It's a see-through bottle, about 500ml.. quite concentrated.. just need to
use about 20 ml only for a gallon of water. Quite exp though. Bought it for RM40, but got a free cloth.
Next time TT let you all touch, see whether mine is better or not (but let me wash my car yah..hehe!)

I just got my car last weekend. Before that my SA also said no discount for this new City as said by Honda Malaysia or free gifts. So i accepted the fact and go pay my remainder downpayment. On the day i paid the downpayment, trade in my old saga only for RM2k (19 year old car) discuss with SA, push a bit then they gave a RM300 discount for introduction from my sis.

Later when i got my car, they gave the following gifts:
- 2x Honda Termos Cup
- Sandblasting of my number plate on the windows
- 2x Honda T-shirt but wrong size
- Free polishing which is said to work like PPS
- Honda Key Chain

Later the SA said when i come back for my 1st service, SA will give me another 2x Honda T-Shirt (Correct size) which is due to no size when i collected my car.

Scotchgard is way too exp. I enquired on the price and it's not worth it. Might as well repaint your front bumper and bonnet again.
btw, the Scotchgard is just for your front bonnet, bumper, headlights, foglights and wing mirrors. Even that's gonna set you back RM2700.

based on my test drive, the cps engine is better than the new 120ps@118hp 1.5 ivtec engine in new honda city. the only make the city better is only because its gearbox has 2 overdrive gear, repeat 2 OVERDRIVE GEARS. MEANING THAT THERE ARE ONLY 3 GEARS AND 2 OVERDRIVES. OVERDRIVES ONLY REDUCE THE ENGINE RPM BUT DO NOT PROVEIDE PICKUP,THATS WHY NEW CITY GEARSTICK HAS ONLY D,3,2,1…..NO ONE EVERWONDER WHY THERE ARE NO 4TH GEAR IN THE GEARSTICK?????????BECAUSE THERE ARE NO FORTH GEAR,THERE ARE ONLY OVERDRIVE…IT SERVE THE SAME PURPOSE AS 4 SPEEDER GEARBOX, THATS WHY SOME MANUFACTURER STILL USING 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC.


hi, i just read this reply at paultan forum, just ask izzit true new city only have 3 gear ? no 4 gear ?

Yes, D 3 2 1... But we still get 5 speed control on tiptronic paddle shift...

Dun trust, go and have a test on both.. Then you will know...

CPS? Yeah so? Still lose to L15A VTEC... Although I can't say it out there because the PROUD CamPro gonna flame...

Reading about PPS and swirl marks after PPS from you guys..here's my take..since i've done PPS also..

Shampoo wise.. I use Meguiars..you choose either the Gold Class Car Wash or the Nxt Car Wash.. about RM60-70 per bottle... and MUST was your car using the 2 pale method.. means you gotta rinse your sponge/wash mitt everytime before you dip into the shampoo again, and wash from top to bottom.. that pretty mch avoids swirl marks.. did that since my gen2 and now City.. no probs at all...

And as for washing with water only every 2-3 days as mentioned by some of you.. I don't really recommend that. Car shampoo provides the glide and cleaning power while water is water.. dirty cloth will just leave marks on your car if not properly done as pure water does not provide a good wiping surface... I'd rather wash with shampoo once a week and "tahan" not to do anything during the week long process...

As for PPS being rough and and all..I guess it's expected... you will appreciate PPS when you park your car nexst to another black car in a well lit parking lot... you will see your car shine... I park in KLCC daily, even after rain and without wash.. my car has the "bling bling" effect next to another 2G black city.. To regain smooth surface and all..that's where the 6 months maintenance comes into picture..

Okay. A forumer at ZTH is selling some bodykits.

Material: PP
Modulo: RM1,700 (front, side x2, rear.. but no duck tail spoiler. i'm not sure the grille is included tho. am asking him)
Mugen: RM1,800 (front, side x2, rear & spoiler, it's the modulo one... the grille is optional, i think it's the 'weird' looking one)
Installation: RM50

Modulo

Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image

Mugen-supposedly (i assume it might be a fake, note the same modulo duck-tail spoiler)

It's the same as the one posted here by fooken.

I find Caltex a bit less economical but slight power compared to other petrols I've used.

I've only used Shell, Esso and Caltex so far for my previous car and I like Shell mileage. Atm, my mileage is 420KM on full tank and when the first few warning lights come on. I think I can get another 100KM if I really drive it close to empty.

Full tank is 420km?
I pumped at petronas today, RM50 .. (STILL GOT SOME PETROL LEFT) and almost full. Not full tank .. then i checked my mileage is 585km? It's still going up .. till 605km.. it stop??????????
hmm.gif hmm.gif hmm.gif

I thought 605 is still not good enough because my neighbor (bought the same car together with us) said his mileage can go to 700km!! Because he pump Shell super wi power??

is it true that super wi power can get to 700km?? anyone try wi power before? shocking.gif shocking.gif

I'm a petronas user .. smile.gif

erm.. i not sure normally how others calculate. maybe cause your calculation with him is diffrent, if u base on screen and compare with him manual calculate.. it is diffrent much d.... if u base on the screen on honda millage meter.. current is not accumurate since still new. So we will do manual calculation d.

Like we all know our full tank is 42 Liter here. So current RON97 is RM1.8 per liter rite. U pump... lets said you pump RM50 for full tank.. if u pump with RON97 mean u pump 27.78 Liter in your car divide 42 Liter .. mean your car still have around 14.22 Liter gas inside your car tank. So if your screen show around 14.0 KM/L mean u still can go for 190km++ but this is just estimate cause it is depend on your driving style, it might not 14km/L, maybe more or maybe less.

conclution if u drive from 0 till now is 585km for current tank and u have pump just RM50 for fill it till full tank again. Mean 585km + 190km mean already over 700km lah.. hhehe

erm.. i not sure normally how others calculate. maybe cause your calculation with him is diffrent, if u base on screen and compare with him manual calculate.. it is diffrent much d.... if u base on the screen on honda millage meter.. current is not accumurate since still new. So we will do manual calculation d.

Full tank is 420km?
I pumped at petronas today, RM50 .. (STILL GOT SOME PETROL LEFT) and almost full. Not full tank .. then i checked my mileage is 585km? It's still going up .. till 605km.. it stop??????????
hmm.gif  hmm.gif  hmm.gif

I thought 605 is still not good enough because my neighbor (bought the same car together with us) said his mileage can go to 700km!! Because he pump Shell super wi power??

is it true that super wi power can get to 700km?? anyone try wi power before?  shocking.gif  shocking.gif

I'm a petronas user ..  smile.gif
with a full tank, how much mileage you guys can go?? pls share it here  icon_rolleyes.gif

First of all.. it's V-Power, not Wi. Maybe you've spent too much time on the Nintendo Wii
i
The mileage on the screen is not accurate. IMHO, don't use that to estimate the distance you can travel.
As for me, after filling up my petrol to the brim.. the meter usually reads 650 km.. but in actual fact, I'm
probably only going to get 450 km - 500 km (max)

It all depends on how 'heavy' ur right foot is. If you're travelling on the highways most of the time with minimal
braking, driving at 5th gear at about 2.5k rpm.. I bet you can reach 600 - 650 km with ease (based on previous exp
with my old car)

Your car is so new, let it clock in a few thousand kms on the clock for the initial 'run-in' period

I believe NHC that under 15K mileage should get around 14++KM/L, the BEST you could get is 15KM/L (not the AVG reading in the meter since it is NOT accurate)... if u could get beyond 15KM...Congratulation, you got a super NHC ! smile.gif

Latest FC record: RON92 (RM1.70/L), RM54 (Last Full Tank) --> 423KM -->RON92, RM56 (Current Full Tank) Guess my right foot is quite heavy sometimes tongue.gif

The best way to measure is pump full tank. Reset your meter and start driving. The next time you pump again, record the mileage after resetting and also the amount of fuel pumped. Then only you divide. That should be accurate. Currently mine only 400km for RM60 petrol. Drive 2k km edi. =/

Honestly I dun think most people can hit 650km with the NHC even if it's just highway. To do that, you literally must drive and keep to 90km/hr ~ 100km/hr for the entire stretch to attain 17.1km/L

I can't agree more. Who dare to leave 2 liter of fuel in tank by utilized 40 liters of fuel with 16.25 KM/L....even if you can make it 16KM/L that is quite impossible for city drive.

I drive 60-70km/h
Almost 90% (small road, bengkang-bengkok road) 10% (small town) sweat.gif
sometimes hit 13.4km/l
sometimes get 16.1km/l after i reset the 13.4km/l

I remember my SA pumped RM20 (dunno he is lying or not, maybe he pumped RM10 only), i pumped RM170 so far ..
rm10+rm170= rm180
meter showed my car already 835km ..

so the estimated mileage left is not very accurate .. sweat.gif

That estimated mileage left doesn't include the leftover when the indicator is on... So you need to know yourself.

I found shop at Kepong which sell Lock-Tech for NHC.I've contact him, he offer me RM 380.00 (no special offer for group).

The other one is at pandah indah, selling at RM 360.00, can be cheaper if go by group.

Anyone interested?

May I know where and what shop in Pandan Indah? I will get my car next week and the first thing I want to do is to install that brake pedal lock. I am always outstation and don't know if I can join you guys for group package so planning to go there alone if time permits. My second option is to use Stoplock that I've seen in Tesco, Stoplock Original is RM 245 and RM 345 for Pro. For Stoplock users here, which of the two fits nicely on NHC? For RM 100 difference I prefer the Original since I don't see much difference between the two.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

A drop-in air filter is an air filter that replaces your normal paper type air filter.

Definition here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_filter

Here is the company's website:
http://www.knfilters.com/filtercharger.htm

user posted image

Note: Look at "stock replacement air filter". We usually call it drop-in air filter as most people car savvy knows that term. The other alternative is the performance one which we call sometimes "mushroom" filter.

Anyway, the one I planned to get and so far inquired is the drop-in as I am mentioning it again *whew* I hope it answers your question.


By the way, there was someone asking what tyre pressure for the spare wheel before the forum crashed. It is 420PSI(60Kpa). It is written on the sticker at the side of your driver's car door.

When in idle, RPM meter will NEVER go down to 0. It's normal. 0 means engine not running. Auto or manual car is the same. Don't mind me asking but is this your first car?

Congrats on your ride!

yes this what he said too.. tat's y i'm checking whether damansara is the only branch that never give out freebies.. even bandar sri damansara branch do give out disc.. just 3 km away..
btw, if we get the car end of mar, are we still entitled for the RM625 rebate as we need to wait for another week probably apr to claim from post office? if we miss it then it's too bad cos we can use the money to install lock etc..

Hi bro, does your source have for FD1 as well? If yes, what is the price? Will be interested in the GB..  rclxms.gif
Thanks bro for the info  icon_rolleyes.gif

The price will not vary that much. But it is okay as compared to the prices other shops quote in the Sunway area (I've checked before).
For the Civic, I think it's more expensive (cos of the size). I will ask him.

I think that's 'cos it takes time for the system to be updated.
I haven't claimed by rebate too.
Does anybody know whether the Post Office is open this Saturday? ie. 28 February??

People,

Just got my S Spec PMM. but my SA didnt fulfill his promise of giving me  chrome key chain, mugs and full tank of petrol (told me he filled up rm 30 - but impossible since the fuel tank meter shown only 1/8 level of fuel innit!) But i was really tired 2 argue yesterday and just took my car. So basically I only got

1. rm625 cash rebat (which according to him; only can claim fr the post office a week after registration - any truth of diz?)
2. window visor - looks good, tho.

other than dat, NADA.

*so jealous of hearing some of us getting sooooooo many goodies/rebates!
*
For the RM625 rebate, you need to collect in post office. Normally, SA will pay the roadtax in JPJ after registration. Hence, you need to wait for 1 week for JPJ to synchronise post office's system.

If you pay your road tax in post office, you can collect immediately. Just collect at the same counter you're paying road tax. If you jump to another counter, you've to wait for 1 week.
Why is it so? Because the moment you pay your road tax, your data is still on the screen. If you jump to another counter, then your data will disappear.

When in idle, RPM meter will NEVER go down to 0. It's normal. 0 means engine not running. Auto or manual car is the same. Don't mind me asking but is this your first car?

Congrats on your ride!

This is my 2nd car. Traded in my faithful atoz for NHC. Atoz got no RPM on d dashboard. Only fuel indicator, speedometer and temperature meter.

BTW, when i received my car it shown that it has been 'rolling' for 13km. So quite ok lor since i heard the average km when people receive their car was 30km. I'm having a 800km trip next week, so quite afraid i might reached more than 1000km b4 my 1st service. Izzit acceptable or not ah??? Plus, i'll b using PLUS highway, so can i 'press' more than 100km/h? I heard it's not good before the 1000k service. Please advice.

Yes, it's fine to reach > 1000 km before your 1st service. I did mine when it hit 1.2k mileage
It's ok to press > 100 km/h, contrary to some ppl's belief.
Just try not to hit 4k rpm, and no sudden acceleration (jerking) would be preferable.
but ur brakes, since the pads are new..you are recommended to brake smoothly for the first 300km (as in ur car manual)

It's true that HM doesn't technically give a discount.
It's actually an embedded discount, depending on the SA (through its incentive / commission program).
This is done so that the price of the car, for example RM85k and RM90k can be maintained without
having the prices to fluctuate and more importantly "sustaining" that particular price so that in the future,
when future models are being launched, they can increase the price again..everybody know too well
that if prices go up, everybody will complain.. hence this sorta 'indirect discount'.

usually during good times (i.e. new and successful car launches), SAs are quite reluctant to give discounts
due to overwhelming demand (think the Demand and Supply rule of Economics) over supply (production).
So, they can afford to maintain that price 'cos the demand will outstrip the supply. However at bad times like this,
the demand would've dropped and SAs would opt to reduce their incentives by 'giving it back' to the buyers.. in turn
for sales.

in conclusion?
it depends on how desperate ur SA is to clinch the sales smile.gif

The question is why change your filter when your filter is still new? Why don't you run your car in for 5k or 10k before doing that?

Be aware when you change the default air-filter, the following issues may occur:

1. Poorer FC as a result of a sudden burst of more power wink.gif
2. Slightly noiser revving that will probably intrude into the cabin
3. Warranty issues with Honda - maybe?
4. Honda service technician may accidentally toss away your new filter when it's time to replace the air filter

Well.. for me, I'm well aware of the repercussions of aftermarket equipments and also to note that HM only changes its air filter at 10k mileage (correct me if i'm wrong), just a little itchy fingers. On your concerns tho

1. FC might decide to take a turn for the worst since I might get a bit heavy footed, but that's not really the issue for me. The power increase will be minimal at best.
2. For drop-in direct replacement, no difference in sound (unless I opt for the open pod)
3. Have checked with service centre guys, no warranty issues (or that they have heard of with K&N or HKS, at least)
4. Hence the "Stop" sticker that will be pasted on the air-box. If they decide to throw them away, I'll make them put on a new one, at their own expense for being blind..

I guess to me, the only concern is the cost. But since I'm not going all out to modify this car extensively.. think a little spoiling myself is alright smile.gif

no.2 sure will have some sound difference, i can guarantee you that - because the flow to your engine is less restricted hence the rev is louder.
no.4 even if they change - I doubt you would be able to tell the difference, unless you actually bother opening the bonnet everytime to check the filter or see if the sticker is broken. Once you drive your car for over 20k km, you'd probably be immune to the effect already. I know I was with the H&K filter, after 20k or 30k km, really can't care less liao if they change or not laugh.gif

Stoplock is a steering wheel but unlike other ordinary lock it is of a very high quality and looks elegant. You can find it on Tesco, Carrefour and a lot of car accessory shops are selling this lock.

maybe a little sound difference, but not much. used both open pod and drop in direct replacement before. but well, to me..perhaps more sound is nicer. a little more psychological ganas smile.gif i think i'll make it a habit (or at least try) to take a look after everytime i service the car...i usually stick around the service center previously..

THe PPS is good ur car will shine (like new) for 3 years or more..if not..they wil re-treatment ur car again..
The rough previously i mention was the paint (which caused by working place spraying paint), which made my car surface become very rough (like sand paper)..after some re-treatment process i done for today, it bcome smooth..
In my exprience,after a few wash, the surface of the car wont be as smooth as the 1st day u done ur PPS..it will not to rough (like sand paper)..just normal surface that u saw many cars is..but ur car will be more shine then other cars (without PPS),the shine quality just like after u polish ur car..this is according to my exprience so far..i done PPS for almost 1 month..other then paint problem (which already solved today) nothing much problem on PPS so far..

many of my friends said.. if you about to hit dog... dont emergency brake.. just hit and run
if you brake maybe end up somebody hit your back. Make a lot of sense? unsure.gif

Just now my sa called.. my Q is coming... but my prefered colour DLB (actually my wife prefered this colour) is currently hot. So, he suggest me to change to Black colour. If i stick to DLB, delivery will be delayed. What you guys tought? Should i accept Black colour? rclxub.gif

Called my SA today to check. Confirm delivery by mid of March but asked for discount, he say no discount will be given on new cars. I said some of my friends get RM500 - RM1k discounts, he asked me back from which SA? Which branch and the SA's name? I said from forum. He insist that there's no discount on new cars. He sound frustrated, at last he said "if so, you can find the SA who offered you better discount, i'll give your booking to him, I don't know how to do your business. I get more than 5calls from you and your mom, sometimes it makes me don't know what I've said and I'm blur." He sound like we're damn annoying who keep bugging him for discounts.

He is frustrated but he tried to talk in a good way. There's no discount on the car but he taking my hyundai Getz in very good price. Far more higher than market price. Plus I can get the RM625 rebate from JPJ.

I've checked with another SA which called me and offered me RM500 discount, but he said I have to wait for 2months till I get the car.

Just wanna shout out here to release my stress. D@MN IT!! He's my cousin tho. shakehead.gif mad.gif

As said previously, it is true that the new cars do not have discounts. the 'discounts' which is totally up to the SAs are embedded in the incentives that they're suppose to get if they make a sale. so looking at how the SA (i.e. your cousin) is doing this, it seems that he doesn't want / need to reduce his incentives and give it back to you cos maybe he has alot of other customers and he doesn't mind losing your booking.

But saying all that, since he is taking in ur Getz at a very good price, maybe you can consider that as your 'discount'. I guess we all have to compromise. You win some, you lose some. If no cash rebate, try those Modulo stuffs? smile.gif

Another 5k comes another car. Then another 5k comes again another. It goes on and on. Just stick to what you think you can afford or want to buy. That's it. No point comparing.

From zero to full tank, the calculation is as below:
42litre x RM1.80/litre = RM75.60

You have made any payment except the booking fee rite?
Wait till u made payment the day, talk the the sales manager for discount.
I'm sure got suprise for you. That's what I do.

Don't do your car loan so fast. Every week interest also drop. Get your loan approved 1 week before your car delivery.
Check out the loan rate in this forum. When they want to register your car, appeal for lower rate via your SA. If your SA don;t do for you,
call the bank loan officer. If you have other facility with the bank, sure can get good rate.

Hope it helps.

just refer to your manual at the driver door. 32 front 31back. if pump more, less tyre surface contact on the road, better FC but downside less traction. your call.

Yo Joe! On mileage per tank, as mentioned many times before, a lot depends on driving habits and whether highway/city driving, and your driving speed as well.

For me, i am averaging 390km-420kms per tank, with about 50% city, 50% highway driving. Depends on how heavy footed and how much city driving. Got about 450kms per tank during the CNY period, when most roads were empty and I did a lot of highway driving.

420km w/o reserve tank balance.. if you're doing mainly City driving..then that's pretty decent.

In terms of bodykit, there's a 'supposedly' Mugen kit.. but it doesn't look very good. the Modulo looks better.
Wait awhile.. there should be more coming up soon
