2021 Honda City GM6 Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

Sound system was surprisingly not bad. Much better than the stock system I had in my 17 model city. Still not good enough for audiophiles or bass lovers. I will still upgrade the speakers, add an amp and a sub.

[pwuser151967054480]

1.2 variants are really bad value for money as Yaris ativ is cheaper with some better features and a better engine. Yaris GLI is way cheaper with some reduced features but a better engine. 1.5 variants have some things going for them to be slightly justifiable, also the honda 1.5 is a bit better than the Toyota 1.5. 1.2 is a senseless buy.

[sohaibjamil011834]

if its true then they are installing 4 speakers & 4 tweeters for all variants which is difficult to digest from Honda

[ammarzubair]

will adding amps and sub mess with the warranty in any way? already have both in current car would love to shift them

[kmq007]

You are spot on Sir.
Extremely odd pricing strategy.
Doesn't make sense at all.

[itshamzayo]

Probably just equal amount of tweeters as speakers. Which would mean 2 tweeters for non-aspire variants. Maybe even 2 tweeters for aspire as tweeters in the rear doors is considered pretty unnecessary. The grills I assume are there in all doors and all variants because it is cheaper for them because of ease of manufacturing to have the same item to install than have a separate non-grill plastic bit for some. Plus it isn't like those grills would be much pricier for atlas than plastic without grills.

[itshamzayo]

It shouldn't if properly installed. A fuse from the battery in the amp power line is a must to prevent a fire hazard, something that the juggarroo installers always ignore. In my personal experience, I claimed warranty on the stock HU and got it replaced for free, even though sound system was installed in my 17 model city. Also sound systems, if properly installed, are really easy to remove without a trace of their installation in case you fear warranty claim denial. But in cases of fire, even if not caused by the sound system, atlas might use it as an excuse to deny warranty, you never know.

[muhammad.hamza.shahid]

Thought same. But there is no optional pricing on website or dealers for tweeters and the delear said k its standard in all. 99% times sales guy have no knowledge of products. They might as well try to sell you a car for "look how shiny"

[muhammad.hamza.shahid]

Any aspire user can confirm hiw the front camera will be installed? Some video claimed there is option in the head unit

[zuhaibafzal]

If you talking about TAX which is being paid on car bought on premium, is not refundabale and buyer will bear this

[thisismeokay132]

Yes it can be installed. It has option of front camera but not fitted.

[muhammad.hamza.shahid]

City ki battery ka kia scene ha? Waqai under capacity hai? Ya sirf dekhne me size odd ha

[umfa85]

Sir daykhnay mein logon ko chooti lag rai ha... I do not understand what is all this Battery and tires fuss about... Globally City comes with 175/65/15 wherever 15" Rims are provided. Previous model city was coming with same size since its launch in 2009 till 2021 and many people specially the cars on rent or company pool uses same tire.

Yes personally I would install 185/65/15 day one reason being EURO STARs are extremely Noisy and hard and ruin driving pleasure. 2nd reason for 185 will be the looks

[engineerjibran]

They are costing a fortune to the consumers , why not use better quality tyres.60 percent of the people spend another 30000 replacing these tyres.

[omaruser156370259465]

People here don't understand this, they just want 265/45/20 tyres with big 20 inch chinese vossens. It surely looks odd with 175 but it's what company offered internationally 7 years ago so they cannot possibly go for a bigger size, yes, they could've atleast changed the Tyre Brand to Yokohama like Toyota. But 185 is what I would install too if I bought it.

[umfa85]

Brother point here is related to specifications which Honda internationally follow for this variant. Yes they may have provided a better tire but here I think Government has bound local Assemblers to use GENERAL Tires to support local industry. Cars with sizes not manufacture by General, using other brands.
One case is Elantra CKD as it initial units comes with 205/55/16 with imported tires but now they have changed them to BG LUXO 215/55/16 just to save cost..

[awais924]

@umfa85 sir which size would be better? 185/60 or 185/65?

[itshamzayo]

If they were just afraid of government regulation of using local tires, they could have used imported 185/65r15 as that size is also not produced by general.

[itshamzayo]

185/60r15 is slightly smaller in diameter than the 175/65r15. The reason why people are saying that the stock tires look odd is due to the raised height of the car making 175/65r15 look too small in the wheel arches. While the same size tire used to look normal in 5th gen city and 185/65r15 looked oversized and too thick on that. If you want an aesthetic upgrade and not just a grip upgrade, for 6th gen you have to go for 185/65r15. For just grip upgrade only, 185/60r15 will also work well enough.

[itshamzayo]

Problem is that previous model wasn't raised like the 6th gen. Our local 6th gen has been raised much more than the international specs, the tire size increase should have come along with it. In 5th gen that same tire looked normal cause it looked like a perfect fit in its wheel arches. In 6th gen, especially with the non aspire hubcaps, it looks like wagon r tires were installed on it in an emergency.
