2009 Honda City [continued]

[kryz2per]

Di pa na break in kc wla pa time magpunta ng malayo

anong gas ang recommended? at saan gas station maganda?

Will have my tires check.

Also pansin ko parang bitin ang arangkada nya. minsan hindi ganun ka responsive. Pag apak ko sa acceleration hindi sya agad nag pickup ng speed. minsan naman okay.

thanks!

[kryz2per]

Guys update lang yung tires ko okay naman ang psi 29 yung tatlo yung isa 28. pinagawa ko ng 30psi lahat.

Napansin ko yung tachometer ko always malapit sa number 1 kahit naka park lang at wlang acceleration. Diba dapat sa zero lang sya.

Will bring the unit sa dealer today para ma check. I will post update.

Thanks!

^^^ Naka-idling ka ba when you checked on the tachometer? (Tumatakbo ang makina...). Pero, nakatigil ang sasakyan.... If yes, okay lang iyan...

Tyres- okay at 30psi...Am using 32psi for all 4 tyres, just for your benchmark numbers. Nasa door jamb sa driver's side ang recommended psi. I think 32/30psi iyon....

Bitin ang arangkada,- normal lang iyan dahil sa lag ng drive by wire.... Walang mechanical link between your gas pedal papunta sa fuel injector katulad ng mga lumang/ibang sasakyan,- electronic link iyan...

Honda City
The latest Honda City is probably the most intelligently designed subcompact sedan. Ever. Sure its rear end (and especially the taillamp clusters) looks like a BMW’s, but when did looking like a Bimmer become a bad thing? But it’s not a mere copycat, as the trunk lid, the doors, and that whole front end simply bristle with numerous design details that would make big brother, Accord, proud. It’s one small car that almost effortlessly makes you feel rich.

Hi Guys,

We had our City for 8 days now. Its 1.5E. Medyo nagtataka lang ako parang ang lakas sa gas. Nag consume sya ng around 1,700-1,900 vpower within 8 days! Ang natakbo ko is around 205 km. Sa instrument and average ko is 5.4km/l sa manual computation ganun din lumalabas. Pure city driving. I expect 10km/l or higher.

Is this normal pag bago pa lang car mo? How can I improve fuel consumption? Any recommended fuel na gamitin ko?

PS: My group na ba ang mga city owners? Gusto ko sana mag join

Thanks!
Chris

Had my 2009 1.5E, the worst it will register is 9km/L, heavy traffic, city driving, averages always above 10km/L. persently 7K mileage.On highways at 100km/hr( going to baguio), it register 18km/L. Put it to test at nlex and easily reached 180km/hr in very short time(not yet floored). very stable, no vibration whatsoever and you can hardly hear the engine, ganda talaga ivtec. Tried to floor my innova gas, was able to reach 170km, parang sasabog makina, vulnerable sa crosswinds because of it's height probably.

2nd hand lancer ex gt 890t

or

brand new 1.5 city hehe

[claRkEnt]

i would always prefer a brand new unit. You never know the risks involved in acquiring 2nd hands

[erikikik]

is it true, the fc performance of a brand new car will improve as the mileage increases? my city's fc for city driving is just 8km/L

Good day mga sirs,
We are planning to buy a red honda city 1.5E, ask ko lang kung how much aabutin lahat including LTO and insurance if i-cacash namin? and what freebies are included.
Thanks.

*cvt: yup naka idling ako. so okay lng pla yun thx.

i just notice kapag slowly ko apakan gas aangat tachometer till #2 then automatic baba agad sa 1.5 tapos pag second attempt mag stay na sa #2 then higher. always po ganun observation ko sa unang arangkada. is that because of drive by wire? dun ko kc nararamdaman na bitin at hindi fun to drive yung city.

*eq: yes i really want to learn to use paddle shifter and gas pedal combo so i can experience fun drive. maybe it takes some practice.

update: pumunta ako sa dealer and they told me its just because of my driving habit. they said to really test it we should full tank and drive on the highway with a computer attached to my car. recommended dw sa 1,000 kilometers check ko n lng pagawa. so they said observe ko lng muna ulit.

last 2 days i reset yung instrument and i average 7k/l n. pero usual 5-6k/l only.

mga sirs OT lng. yung isa kong rim nagasgas medyo malalim tumama kc sa bato. what do u recommend pra maalis yung sugat? temporarily palitan ko muna ng reserve tire. pero gusto ko sna mapagawa yung rim na nagasgas.

thx

generally po, YES.

[CVT]

Anyone here who has experienced problem(s) with their City's A/C blower (evaporator)? A friend's blower conked out a few days ago. His City is almost a year old..... Honda 'repaired' it and told him that the culprit was the wire harness...

Thanks.

You can get the LTO for free and some other freebies like 3M full tint, rust proofing, std mats and seat covers... some may even be able to haggle for an alarm or a back-up sensor.

Get the insurance outside of the casa, it's cheaper. They'll convince you to get it from them, but check out threads nalang and find one that you want. Hindi naman selling like hotcakes ang City so hindi sya tulad ng Tucson na ipa-prioritize ka sa list pag in-house lahat.

Bad trip lang sa City ay yung plastics nya. Ilang beses na ako nabibiktima na akala ko may rattling sounds na coming from inside the dashboard. Kaso pag inisolate ko, either coins or may mga metal parts lang na kung ano-ano (like ID holders, keys, etc) na nilalagay ko sa mga cubby holes ang tumatama doon sa plastics nya.

Aside from that and the FC that I feel that pwede pa sanang mas matipid, it's really a good everyday car (I like its ergonomics for the driver).

[cokyi]

^Kasalanan ba nung plastic yun?

[homer jay]

In a way, it's a flaw on their design. Kasi those cubby holes are really meant for storages... kung malakas mag-echo yung plastics na ginagamit nila, then maybe they could've used a different kind of plastic for the storage compartments. Yun dating Vios ko, 3 years ko rin ginamit, hindi ko naman napapansin yun ganung rattling issue na nanggagaling sa storage compartments.

I wonder what's the difference in their design. Paghinihiram ko yun ibang kotse ng kapatid ko, I also don't notice these rattling sounds... very prominent lang doon sa City.

Tow to the nearest Honda center lang ba ang solution dito?
Or can i bring a Honda mechanic to check the electronics of the immobilizer (to see the error codes)?

Also, covered ba ito ng 3 year warranty kapag defective ang immobilizer?
Won't they blame this due to ondoy?
