TIA

can we glue the antenna of our city? madali kasi pitikin ng mga mababait sa kalye kaya pag nakapark ako sa unfriendly territories, inaalis ko tapos babalik. hassle guys.

any suggestions kung pwede ito guys?

tnx!

^^^ Puwede iyan bro,- just use conductive glue para hindi maapektuhan ang radio reception just in case you're using it....

For the rear passengers, the floor is slightly angled up so its not comfortable at all.

When you sit inside on the rear passenger area, the City's floor is not flat but rather there is a slight bump up or angle. That means as your feet rests on the floor, your ankle is angled up as well. On long trips, this could lead to some strain or fatique and discomfort.

Try to compare the Vios (flat floor) to the City (angled up floor) in the showrooms. I think you will understand it there better.

The floor is shaped like that to accomodate the mid-mounted fuel tank.

Too bad, the City doesn't have the ULT rear seats anymore like the previous model. The current Jazz still has said feature.

hmmm from what i read, kaya may slight bump sa likod eh dahil daw yan sa 4 wheel drive. sa japan kasi may 4 wheel drive ang mga city nila.

well, nabasa ko lang naman hehehe kahit yung 2006 city namin ganun din may 4 wheel drive version sa japan

[OTEP]

Yes, and to clear that also. Not sure if the AWD system used a front to rear driveshaft

Fuel Tank Location


Halfshaft to rear wheel to provide rear wheel drive:

yes, that's the feature i wish should have been retained. I miss my 2004 Honda for that.

Most probably ibabalik ng Honda ULT rear seats next year. Other foreign variants still have it. Pinagpapalit lang ng Honda ang mga features nito to make the unit look new every year while basically retaining the same design. marketing strategy

Sirs. Ok bang kumuha sa Honda Q. Ave? Planning to get a City 1.5E. But the SA is adamant about giving freebies. I want to get more freebies since we're paying in full. :|

Your inputs will be greatly appreciated. TIA :D

the kind of freebies you get really depends on whether you get financing (in-house or via partner banks) and/or insurance from your dealership. these are two major sources of income (aside from sales, maintenance and repairs) for any car dealership.

obviously, the more they earn from you, the more freebies you get. if sa insurance pa lang, for example, approx 1.5% of the car's value (which is around 12k for a City) goes to the dealership, imagine how much more they can get via financing? (kaya ayaw nila ng cash buyers. wala silang malaking kikitain dun. )

in my case, bec my financing (non-partner bank) and insurance were sourced outside (mas mura kasi), all i got was the standard freebies (tint, matting, seatcover, umbrella, and keychain).

this would explain why some dealers appear to give more than others. depende talaga sa terms of the purchase. bottom line is you don't really get anything for "free".

is it true that the 1.3A model doesn't have "child lock" features?

i agree with this...

cvt,

thanks sa reply.

nabasa ko kasi dito na pag umulan at wala kang antenna, baka magkakalawang ang metal parts ng base ng antenna mo...

now, to find a conductive glue...

Hi magister,

Thanks for you input.

This was a dated post and we found a new dealer that is more accommodating to our requests.

The SA gave us the quotation for 1.5E and we we're surprise that the 3 year LTO registration isn't free. Is this the usual SOP?

sorry for the late reply. ngayon lang ako nag backread.

sadly, hindi free yung LTO registration sa honda.

[CVT]

In our case, free ang 3-year LTO registration....
