Already bought my first car, 2013 Honda City 1.5E Urban Titanium A/T
1st owner bought AUG 2013, Rizal-Laguna trip ni 1st owner & ODO reached 25K in just 17 months. so ave. daily trip is 50Km, then I bought it as 2nd hand last JAN 2015. 3X PMS ni 1st owner 5T Km, 11T Km and 22T Km (last OCT 2014).

I would like to share some of my observations sa 1st car ko:

1. Every time I turn the Ignition, all of the lights(even the LED cabin lamps and
foot well) dims as if they will go off.
2. There are times when I turn the Ignition keys, the ignition motor kicks in but
suddenly went all off so I have to return the key to OFF and turn the Ignition
again.
3. Every morning or every time the engine rest for a while and I turn the Ignition
switch rpm dial goes around 1200rpm and after 2-3 minutes it normalizes to
800rpm, so if I change to "D" during the 1st minute the car will run at around
10kph w/o stepping on the gas pedal.
4. All of the lights esp. Headlamps/Fog lights dims a bit every time the A/C
compressor turns on.
5. Rust are forming around the break discs edges and from a complete Stop position
when I step off the break very slowly esp on downslope roads or bridge I could
hear a squeek-grinding like sound from the tires.
6. During heavy traffic conditions, when I step lightly on the breaks while the gear is
at "D" sometimes I could feel small jerks when the car is running between
1-4kph.
7. There are times that the gear takes time to change from 1st gear to 2nd gear and
find it "nakakabitin" when overtaking and ended up hitting the gas pedal very
hard and hoping the gear will shift quickly.
8. Small vibration can be felt on the driver-side door during idle.

Mga Honda users please share based on your experiences maybe these were all Normal or dapat ko na ipa-check sa casa.

Thanks!

try to have your battery checked, baka symptoms that it is dying.
the rust on brakes is normal, imho. moisture yan. but since it squeaks na, try to have the brake pads checked and replaced.
#3, i think is normal.
on the jerking and bitin sa gear shifts, palit ka muna AT fluid.

i would daresay...
1. that's normal, sir. that is why, the suggestion is, all lights and accessories be turned off before starting the engine.
2. wear and tear? weak battery?
3. that's normal. the "choke" is working. the engine rpm is normally adjusted to idle higher when the engine is cold. idling rpm goes down once the engine gets hot.
4. normal or weak battery? check battery connectors.
5. that's normal.
6. ATF levels? replace?
7. "hunting"? maybe it's normal, maybe #6 above.
8. weatherstrip perished? door alignment? wear and tear on the insides of the door?
see what 1D4LV recommends above.
have fun.

[StockEngine]

vibration can be from not-so-good sparkplugs and or dirty throttle body.

[StockEngine]

About atf fluid, if its level is good, it should be good. The atf even with severe conditions will last 50k. The delayed shifting is normal imo,it's a 1.3 afterall. you're in need of an oil change. get fully synth from honda. its reasonably priced from honda.

Ano po fc nyo sir? Ako rin po kasi bumili ng 2nd hand honda city. Overall naman okay siya. Yung fc ang tagilid. 6.1 k/l. 20k odo siya nung nabili namin. So namromroblema po ako about engine quality.

185/60/R15 or 195/60/R15 sir. Pero I suggest ung 185 lang kung di mo lalaparan ang wheels sir.

Ung 205 sir, wag ito kung naka-stock wheels ka kasi masyadong malapad para sa wheels (15x5.5" lang din ata ang stock ng GM).

Anyone knows if magkano ang pedeng maging value ng Honda City after 5-6 years?

It depends on how it was maintained, in engine, interiors, exteriors, mileage and how many times serviced in casa from the time it was bought. Honda have records in their data base.

Tapos hirap humatak.
Twice ko na kase na experience yun.
