@retrogade city looks very cool in this color, I just washed it with water and dried with cloth still it shined very nicely. Tradeways gave a three years guarantee for royal sheild. If you can arrange three cars for polishing they can come to Islamabad for polishing.

It costed me 4000 and I think its worth each paisa spent.

@fastoriel bro sorry for the late response follow the following link for any information on Royal Sheild

Still no one came up with the answer of my query.

Has any one gets the practical experience of STEERMATIC at CNG ???

AND

What is the 0-100 km mark of STEERMATIC when at S MODE ???

[Retrograde]

u4usman4u: dude will let u know soon. 0 to 100 in S mode with my steermatic from a stading start (my car has no CNG)

[AkbarGr8]

i just wanted to ask how many steermatic owners actually switch gears manually (through the steering) on a regular basis, i.e. during every day driving. and secondly if thats even possible or not lol

[JustFarooq]

Is the TRIPTRONIC of accord cl9 is worth like city steermatic or it have something else.

[AkbarGr8]

Common guys, where you at?. im still waiting for a reply lol.

[doc]

In the beginning i used it quite a bit , but then just kind of stuck to driving in auto.
Its useful going up hills , and ofcourse its possible evryday. Why would u think otherwise?

No point of buying a Steermatic then getting CNG , waste of money. U might as well buy an i-dsi then.
U pay more for performance , which u lose with CNG.
I dnt care wht anyone says abt ther being hardly any differenced in pick and all tht stuff , its still not the same.
Choose a car according to ur priorities.

if any one wants 2 enjoy steermatic keep it running on petrol cng will ruin this smart hi-tec car , this car is not meant for cng , all the time u r in trouble on cng ,,,,

It's been almost 3 weeks since I got my Steermatic. I plan to keep it on petrol. I think I have used the steermatic feature thrice that too just for the sake of fun. otherwise I like being in auto mode especially during rush hours.

@RL589 waiting for your 0-100

[AkbarGr8]

Thanks every one for their response. Doc i was just asking as to if it was actually possible to use the M/T shifting in every day driving, besides the occasional drag. I guess it will take some time for one to get used to it :D.

I have made up my mind, Inshallah steermatic is my upcoming ride. just deciding colour now. Either white or canyon stone silver..what do you guys think. attaching pics of white from showroom.

@AkbarGr8 bro I assure you that you will never regret buying this car.

I have one in stone silver and it looks very nice so i would recommend the same to you. On the other hand white seems more sporty and looks more aggresive. But again white is a very common color, every car is available in this color.

I bought Stone silver cause I really like this color, its only available in honda, a kind of unique color and would recommend the same to you.

@hsnmz,

thanks for ur reply buddy. i formerly used to own a EXI m/t 2006, but had to dispose it off due to some personal reasons. Im hoping that if this steermatic is half as good as that car was, i guess ill be happy :). It too was white, so i guess thats why im leaning towards white even more. I currently own an 05 IDSI and am very satisfied with it. Just hoping that there is a noticible difference between the IDSI and Steermatic to justify the extra 2 lacks in price

[RL589]

@akbargr8 bro if u still have exi 2006 n wanna sell , then im intrested in buying ur car ,,,, ( if u r in islamabad ),

n bro u will experience alot of difference between i-dsi n steermatic n no n sir now the price diference in 140k in steermatic n i-dsi

[Retrograde]

well bro i also switched 2005 iDSI manual to steermatic. In fact, I am the one who strated this thread, my car's pic are on the first page.

anyway the experience is wonderful, steermatic is a rocket!!!.it is worth it. but sadly honda's quality control has deteroriated

[fouadbakht]

Why only Steermatic? Why not other Honda City Fans?

[Retrograde]

well main reason is that steermatic is least selling model of City so it needs some publicity :). - Not working for Honda -

But other city fans are more than welcome to share their experience with this wonderful car..

[doc]

@Akbar
U'll be getting an amzing deal now , free petrol and registration + the lucky draw to win a civic or steermatic.
Wish i had waited a year!!

[AkbarGr8]

@Doc,

only if i was buying it till the end of march :P. tough luck is that i have to wait till 3rd week of may. im hoping that the discount shall still prevail, 'unofficially'

@RL

as i stated, i no longer have the car :(. Steermatic is no match for EXI

@Retrograde,

could you please mention a few issues that you faced?. My 05 Idsi required left side power window motor to be replaced under warranty

[Retrograde]

akbar: i had the iDSI for 2 years and did around 30,000 and did not face a single problem. U know as for the fault, even a merc's side mirror can become faulty

however, with my new steermatic, the overall quality control is not as good as the 2005 iDSI which i had earlier, but still better than rolla

@AkbarGr8 bro!! I have been to very tough roads on this car and it never failed me and always came out with no problems or issues. It has got superb drive, good economy and power. I bet you will forget your Exi after driving this car. When ever there be a need, just shift it to "S" and floor the pedal and you will be amazed. So far my experience with this car has been great.
