Got my VTEC last week. A really good buy.
Power is good for a 1.5 engine. Power and economy don't usually mix but for the City it is a surprise!
The handling is good too.
So far no problems yet. Just enjoying the car.

I've driven cars like RAV4(powerful), Camry(comfortable), Peugeot 206cc (stylish), Nissan Frontier Pickup (Very torqy), Proton Wira (nice handling), Gen2 (very nice handling), Waja, Kancil, Kelisa, Mercedes S320, Toyota 1.6 SEG, VIOS(lot of debate going on with City), Kia Sorento, Toyota Harrier, Naza Ria, Kia Spectra, Mercedes E280, BMW 318, Honda City 1.3, etc.

Why I bought City Vtec.
Price, Fun & Space factors. Looks....well City's bum sucks no arguments bout that.
Well people buy cars for different reason. That's why so may types.... :lol:

I also own a Toyota LE 1985 swapped with a Levin AE111 4AGE auto. A 20v four throttle 165 horsepower engine.

my odometer almost reaching 17K km... i guess very soon for my 20K service... :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[sonictheory]

edy clocked 500km+ after 4 days use...damn keng...guess more 4 or 5 days can go 1k service liao..lol....

 

[Jackie Leong]

WTF ? :blink:

how come you guys travel so much geh?
my car is 6 days old and i've only travelled 230km on my odometer! :o

 

[psychotic_ass]

i also dunno how i travel... 1st week got the car already clock 1K km ady... now days don't travel that much... lucky... can still maintain the free service... hehehe

 

[Jackie Leong]

eh, the service for honda city.. first 2 years is completely free right? (engine oil, oil filter) no need to pay a single cent right? :unsure:

i think i need a month or maybe more to achieve 1000km leh.. been driving like 60-70km/h only.. even on highway.. ppl tiong kao me that time, dem pressure.. but just ignore and drove on oni.. they get fed up and overtake :P

 

[psychotic_ass]

yeah.. its free service for 40000km or 2 years which ever comes 1st ... the only thing you have to pay if u wanna wash the car... ahhaahha :P

i remember when i 1st got the car.. i whack kau kau... coz the sales man says don't have to drive slow to run in... hahaha... just whack coz got warranty... any problem can claim... hahahahaha... so far no problems with my car.. only the alarm was giving me problem... it was too sensitive... but that's fix already... went to crobra to fix it...

 

[Jackie Leong]

what do you mean by sensitive? give some details le.. :D

i'm thinking whether or not to let them wash my car for my first 1000km service (it's free, the salesgirl tell me..) cuz i scared them ppl will simply wash or scratch my car la.. damn sayang my car wei (which we all here do :P)

:lol:

wah.. don't have to run in? manual oso got say not to rev hard/brake hard before 1000km wei =.=!

 

[Coconut]

well... its sensitive in a way when i wash the car with the car lock & alarm armed... my alarm will go off... or when i park.. then a car pass by like few feet aaway or someone walk pass... my alam will go off also... so decided to lower the sensitivity... hahaha... :lol:

well i didn't read the manual until after my 1000km service... haahha... then only realize that cannot brake hard or rev hard before the 1000km... :lol:

if want to rev to red line... use the manual mode... but when reach 6000 rpm will auto change gear already... can't go to the redline... but then haven't notice the slow climb lor... will try it out later... :lol:
