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

It doesnt look that way anyhow possibility is there.
Aspire production started from 16 May onwards of all april booking

[ifadey]

Sales of new vehicles are expected to decrease after multiple price hikes. Another price hike is coming since dollar crossed double century. Also, Toyota closed the bookings again today due to volatile economic situation.

I expect a very bad future of automobile industry. None of this would have happened if big 3 have localized major components.

My rear cam of aspire gets loose after few days. It was adjusted by dealership on 1k inspection but it was hanging again yesterday. I think the screw whivh holds the camera is small. Anyone else faced similar issue.?

[chinyoti]

Does the boot unlock button also comes out?

I thot it is a single peice assembly wasn't bothered. Also nothing like this happened.

[zeeshan-hdr]

No button stays there only issue is with camea front portion..

[chinyoti]

Is it fixed now?

[Abd008]

None of this would have happened if policy makers forced them to localize, instead they get few free cars with ribbon on it as bribe.

[AbbasJin]

This whole fiasco is depressing as heck. Not only do we have to pay a ton of a last generation City e.g. but also wait 4 months for it to deliver and meanwhile deal with raised prices during those 4 months. I barely missed last price hike earlier this month as I booked before April 30 but I can sense another price raise incoming due to new rupee falls and I doubt Honda Atlas will let us through without paying more this time

I'm trying to pay the remaining amount in next few days in hopes that paying in full might do some miracle but I doubt that.

[chinyoti]

Better you talk to your dealer and pay full for a ready delivery car, change your car to a open invoice car avaliable with them.

Waiting isn't ideal in today's scenario.

[AbbasJin]

When you say change my car to open invoice, - do you mean I pay own on a ready car and they can then have my current car (being built in factory) so they can sell it by themselves when it arrives? How will this work i.e. will they waive off some of the own or I still pay the full amount?

I cannot take delivery now for 2 reasons, a) I'm out of country until July and b) The own cars are all vanilla white colors. I want modern steel.

[chinyoti]

Talk to your dealer. They would have something to work out in the middle.

I feel cars arent going out of dealerships as fast as they were going previously.

[ifadey]

None of this would have happened if policy makers forced them to localize, instead they get few free cars with ribbon on it as bribe.

So true. Private businesses are always greedy. It's Government's responsibility to enforce laws that are in the favor of its people.

[AbbasJin]

Too bad most politicians barely know anything about car safety or tech. I feel backup cameras, 6-8 airbags, traction control and a smart safety suite like lane control / collision mitigation should be a bare minimum in new cars in 2022.

Funnily, my rather mediocre 2020 Civic EX had pretty much all that for $22000 total in North America whereas you can barely buy a City Aspire in that much in PK and it lacks most of these features. Heck Honda atlas is bundling the smart safety suit with the 6 million civic in Pakistan as if its some luxury feature that we deserve thanks to the kindness of Honda Atlas - when this same safety suite is even bundled in all bottom tiers Civics and Corollas in North America etc. Way to segment your market for a few extra $$. Pathetic behavior by pak assemblers to say the least.

need genuine air filter islamabad fatafat today. kahan jaon?

[AbbasJin]

I'd say buy from nearest Honda Dealership.

[AbbasJin]

what make you say cars going out of dealerships have slowed down? Interesting insight, something I hope is true.

I posted earlier that Honda Khair had many many City cars parked all dusty as if parked for weeks (in a vlog) - which goes against the 3,4 month wait these dealerships make you do if you do a new Booking. If they've so many cars then why not hand over to customers ASAP.

Also talked to my salesperson again and was told my tentative dated August delivery will still happen in June. Not sure if its a truck ki batti or goli but I'll find out soon.

[chinyoti]

Cars going out slow is just my personal opinion no insight

Honda khair having several cars parked, Could be their personal investment. They buy a Honda franchise they expect returns.

City sales were slow in December. In January/February sales kick started, Honda slowed production to increase Civic production.

City was short in market. In December City was being offered control price, free ceramic coating and undercoating worth 45/50k.

Later the premium went up around 175/250k

I am not aware of the situation now, but a week ago only Brv and civics were available readily.

Only this week the dealer turns up saying City gas started coming. We are offering 1 months booking and ready delivery cars also available.

With car prices going up crazy hi, people are parking their money in cars and other assets instead of keeping money in banks.

Is there any solution to make new honda city suspensions a little soft? It feels like sitting in an auto rickshaw especially in Karachi.

[chinyoti]

If you are moving from toyota or Suzuki, yes Hondas are different.

The front where ever hits makes a major sound which is very scary.

I got yokohama advan Dbs on day 1. Just did a karachi Islamabad trip by road.

It's ok and bearable. Yes nothing fancy but alot better then the out going generation.

Raised height, compromises on control.

[pwuser164417825014]

same tyre size as provided by the OEM? Cause I called the dealership and they said I can switch brand but not the size otherwise it would void the warranty.
