@idealali many congratzz for the steermatic & welcome to the club

as your ride has above 40k driven make sure with previous owner that it was properly serviced @40K which include

1------get the tappets adjusted if needed
2-----throttle body cleaned
3------ automatic transmission fluid (changed)
4-------spark plug (changed)
5--------oil & oil filter (changed)
6--------brake fluid (inspect before changed)
7---------fuel filter(changed)
8--------- alignment , balancing & sweeping of the tires.

If in any doubt, yes get your car inspected from Honda and replace all the above mentioned things to bring the log book under your belt.

You are requested to refer to the Maintenance Schedule (Page no: 121) provided in the Owner’s Manual of your car.

I wrote the above post for ali on 2010 now coming to your @Moa88 deal as its 70K driven make sure all the above things were done on 40K maintenance, if the seller( current owner ) is like me, he should logged every thing on log book, so make sure to inspect the log book otherwise you only have to trust his words which is :S .... anyway if any doubt you need to do it your self as you have to do it on 80K, but before this pre maintenance confirmation you need to test her to check that all the sensors are working properly.

Put her on "D" and drive normally as any other automatic car & she suppose to act any normal automatic car expect as she is CVT, so when you change her gears by your right fool through accelerator she perform very smooth unlike conventional automatic gear box, CVT has no jerk.

Now press the 7-speed mode button, you will see the gear number , now drive it normally as an auto car and you will notice the gears will display for you.

Now test her pick up by kicking her down so you can check the VTC working & CVT is in good condition as while acceleration you will not feel any jerk of gear changing, it should be continuous acceleration all the way.

Now coming to Manual 7-speed mode testing press 7speed mode button and press +- button and you will see "M" along with the gear# , now she is in manual mode , the two main sensors you need to check is that while accelerating when RPM reach @6000 the next gear should shift automatically
even if you wont change the gear , and same should happen when you break down from 7th gear to dead stop , gears should decrease automatically even if you wont press - to decrease them, also use +- button to drive it normally.

Now put her in "S" mode and drive , you suppose to fell that she is running in low gear's to give you more torque this "S" stands for "second" like you have D2 in other auto cars for hilly areas , ascending or descending.

Check the inter loc of auto gear shiftier lever is working properly

otherwise I hope you will inspect her body and other visual checks regarding papers and other things

Good Luck

My brother you can do it occasionally with your feet away from accelerator but dont make it habit, because as per procedure & ideally every gear position should be achieved while she is stationery.

I always go to City Sales and ask them to run a diagnostic check using the Computer. They used to charge Rs. 500 to do that not sure about the current charges and ask the forman to test drive it. Also a good idea to raise the car on a lift and check the underside for any damages or oil leaks. Best of luck.

Hi All,

I have been a user of Honda City Steermatic 2007 for more than a year now, i got it exchanged with City I-Dsi 2007 and found it a very cool car... I really love it's ride... But after one year i am facing a problem, that my car is eating away the engine oil rapidly. From the very first day i have been using it on Mobil-1 but still it's eating away the oil and i have pour in more oil after every two or three weeks time.

I also want to know that what does it mean by "VTEC KICKIN"???

Can anyone please help me in this regard?? Please guide me what to do??

[Moa88]

Thanks 4 the help guys. I got the car checked from honda point. They have okkd te car.
only thing left is the transfer procedure.

My sincere suggestion is not to buy this ****. It is too tricky to check if the car is in good condition. One fine morning you may come to know that this car's transmission needs to be changed and it will cost you around Rs. 400,000 or otherwise change the valve body which will cost you 40K. All these are unavoidable if you want to take full benefit of drive of your car.
