my ride

Bro please accept my heartiest congratulations on ur new purchase.it a very very nice car and you ll certainly enjoy it. the only thing u shud do is to change the tires, get 195/60/r15 sized tyres, preferably yokohama A drive.
and well come to the fan club

[rmfurqan]

thanks bro, yes i have to change tyre & rims too, actually i spent quite a budget on sound system so, will go for tyres next months. by the way anyone knows how much the recent parts updates from honda will cost. i meant that arm rest, trunk light etc.

[ahmadbila]

not really sure about the price.but heres wat i suggest.

dont buy the Honda's original trunk light, it costs 1200rs. instead get 8-10 LEDs installed in the spot.the wiring is already done.this wud cost 400rs, many ppl have got it done.

get any nice exhaust pipe chrome tip from ur local car decoration shop and stick it on,shud cost around 200rs.

the most expensive part will be the central console which has hand rest attached to it.there is no other way but to buy it from honda, see if u can sell ur stock one in the market to get some cash back.other wise its just useless.

and lastly, i dont see how u can put an arm rest on the rear seat without changing the whole seat (i wudnt do that btw)

[rmfurqan]

@ Ahmad:
Thanks dear for your suggestion, i would go for it, for arm rest i meant the front driver arm rest, what do you think that new console will fit easily or do i have to change seat or stock gear panel??

sir i was also talking about the front seat arm rest
no u dont need to change the seat, though i cant say if u have to change the complete panel (i.e. from below the dashboard all the way to the end) or u just will change it from behind the handbrake, either way, it can be done without touching any other parts like seats etc.

bro honda guys really suck at working on brakes.they jammed my rear drum brakes too i think they didnt place the brake pad properly on its place while fitting it back.

u can try a simple test, park ur car in neutral, put handbrake down and try to push ur car from back, if u feel like its hard to move, it certainly is the jammed brake pad.after that, get it re adjusted from any other mechanic and stop going to Honda guys, they rip u off and their mechanics are not well trained. just go to honda for parts, not for labour.

It looks gud.i cant say hows the quality of it but if its even near the OEM one, its worth it.
i do the same, OEM filter used to cost 900rs, was gud for 10k kms.i now use the best quality (very near to OEM) guard filter and it costs only 320rs.i change it after every 5000kms.i ve learned that saving money where u can do it safely is a wise thing to do, i wud NEVER save on delayed oil changes or cheaper oil but i do save where i can, specially because i drive toooo much.

Hi,

I am planning to get a city within a few days, InshAllah.

The car has all the new features mentioned in one of the posts above (armrest, trunk light etc.) ...

I heard from another friend that the music player supports a USB as well. This is an additional feature in the new 2011 model. Can anyone else verify this?

I searched a lot but could not find any verification online.

Thanks a lot for your help.

i beg to differ the filters you get from the 3S dealer ship give you better fuel economy and last longer I have tested them , more over the original air filter has some sort of oil sprayed on it to give extra protection by filtering even the finest particles of dust. I would never compromise on the filters.

[kn_khipk]

Can anyone tell me why the new city has 175/65R15 tires? Is it because Honda want to save on cost? or is it because this size is suited for better fuel consumption/economy?
What would you (as a new city owner) change to?

Sir i agree that this new oil sprayed type of filters are different and one must always use the OEM ones. i was talking about the simple paper filter used in previous city (idsi)

Sir the only reason they are putting 175 tire is to save money on their end. they know pakistani buyer is much into changing tyres as they buy a car so they save there.
i ve driven new city on 175s and 185s. on both, the car seems a little bit out of grip.though it feels very gud on 195 tires (195/60/r15) so if i were a city owner, i wud ve gone for this size.
