Yeah just got mine also just now thru Pos Laju.

Went for a long trip recently.

Just to share on fuel consumption:

On average the meter shows 17.2KM/L with 93%Highway but when I did
my own calculation it comes to 16.5KM/L
On average it is about 11cts/KM and the speed I was traveling was around 115-130KM maximum 145KM and as the fuel was finishing I was cruising around 100KM.
(4 adults and three kids and with overflowing Booth..)


At one time the "Balance KM Meter" shows "0" and when I refuel the car I manage to pump in only 35L which means there is roughly 7L left in the tank....
If the meter could have been a little bit more accurate and if wifey did not ask me to stop in Ipoh for some food, I could have managed with one full tank
from JB to Taiping. That is about 610KM!


As for the driving experience, all OK , except that when passing by large vehicle at more that 125KM the car did wobble. Probably like some one saying that,
need to check the tyre pressure. And there is more noise from the tyre rather than the engine but the tyre did perform very well in wet weather. Wind noise begins above 120KM. The rest all Good.

Car of the Year?

The all-new Honda City is Honda’s most significant model in this market and this award is a true testimony of the appreciation from our customers and experts. We would like to express gratitude to everyone including our suppliers who have made it possible to make the new Honda City a success.”
