2012 Honda City

[ohhhace]

hello po.
tanong lang po.
kelangan ko pa ba ipa paint protect ung honda city ko sa big bert, w/c i got it 2 weeks ago?
sabi ng sa from honda di na daw need kase meron na raw paint protect ung unit..
thanks ...

hindi sya "kailangan" per se, pero added protection lang din. parang undercoating.

lalo na sa white units, na sabi ng earlier owners na it tends to get yellowish over time.

nagpa paint protection ako mga a month after pa. one thing i noticed (vs fresh casa-release) is that mas smooth yung katawan, mas madali idust-off ang alikabok.

Thanks mga sirs I'm about to receive my Honda City 1.5 E tomorrow. It's my first car. Pwede po bang humingi ng tips on what to check on it before leaving home? Thanks po!

random tips:

tanggalin nyo rin yung antenna, esp when parking at unsecured places. de-screw lang naman yun, madali itago (or nakawin hehe)

dont let your fuel run low, masama sa pump yun in the long run. pag mga tipong 1/4 or 1/5 na lang, pa gas na kayo.

stick to one fuel brand / variant. kanya-kanyang halo kasi ng additives ang mga fuel companies. pwede na rin yung middle-grade, di kailangan ng top (aka blaze, vpower racing) dahil bago. (i personally use petron xcs sa jazz 1.5 ko dahil sa bpi cc rebate hehe.)

if you have cats (pets or strays), get nice thick car cover! grabe ang hilig matulog ng mga yan sa bubong or hood, which they will scratch sooner or later (we have 2 pet cats, kainis haha)

get a steering wheel lock. may immobilizer keys naman ang cars natin, pero visual theft deterrent na rin.

congrats, enjoy

Parang wala pa press release Honda regarding that, so probably manufactured date lang diff nun. Your friend can just ask his agent for details

Do note may rumored new model for 2014 ang city, which you could use to get more discounts for the current model (which i believe is on promo with banks)

1st-month PMS ng aking City sa Saturday. What do they usually check? Could they finish the PMS within the day? Thanks.

No change oil for sure, general inspection lang. Brakes, fluids, suspension, etc. A good time to raise your complaints too, esp if may rattling or squeeking. Kaya matapos in an around an hour, depende sa pila

To 2012 honda city owners, has anybody tried to use a Royal Purple oil for your engine instead of the casa supplied LEV fully synthetic oil? may improvement po ba sa performance or any other negative effects? TIA sa mga magrereply....

Hi Guys, we are planning to get an AT City. We are more concerned on the Fuel Economy.

Ano ba mas matipid?

1.3 AT or 1.5 AT?

Ano ba mas malaking factor sa city? Power to weight ratio in which case 1.5AT ang lamang? or dahil sa maliit na engine and magaan na body, lamang ang 1.3?

Hoping for your kind inputs :D

1.3 A/T owner here, 13-14 km/l city driving with moderate traffic condition, 17-18 km/l nlex driving with an average speed of 100 kph. IMO, power to weight ratio advantage applies only to 1.5 engine at Hi-way driving condition where FC become fully efficient. In heavy and moderate traffic condition, because of a bigger engine at idle speed, it consumes too much gasoline and this become the 1.5 engine less FC efficient, this is just what I have noticed and observed from the owners of honda city 1.5E from HCCP forum.

Mahalaga power to weight ratio in general, pero depende sa expected regular load nyo. Kung puno, mas maigi 1.5 maski city driving. Otherwise, sapat na yung 1.3. Matipid talaga yun

Thank you sir rmsoriano and ohhhace! Really appreciate your feedback :D

I drove a 2012 1.5E, my fc is 7.3km/l purely city driving no expressways. Hope this helps.

Medyo mataas yung FC mo, bro. Sobrang traffic siguro sa area mo. I sometimes use a 2009 City 1.5E and I get about 10 Km/L on city driving. Even on Taft-like or Ayala CBD conditions, I get 9 Km/L, based on the dashboard meter. On mixed city-highway conditions, I can get 12 Km/L. Parang konsumo na ng mga bigger sedans yung average mo. My old Exalta N16 used to average 8 Km/L sa Makati CBD while my current daily drive (Accord 2001 2.3L AT) averages 6-7 Km/L.

Greetings Egan 101. Yes, you are correct on the traffic, Paco going to Greenhills routes, traffic talaga. Or maybe, my car is just running 6,000+ km. pa lang? Hindi pa masyadong break-in? Thanks for the info Egan101, its great to know.

[renzo_d10]

Worse I got on a 2009 1.5E City was 8.5km/L and that was during the Christmas season. Walang hataw mode yan though. Best, on city, was 10-ish. All based on the MID. 40k odo

Needed? Just a good set of tint (not casa tint) and maybe a center armrest. Leatherette seat covers pwede sa Seatmate or Leder Interia or whatnot.
