@redbull,

the engine bay seems to be larger than our city (04-05 walee)--and wonder what engine the car had

[RedBull_ar]

on you tube, it says L15A, dunno if thats correct
noticed it passed NSX on corners

wts a direct swap for L series? k20 ^o)

@RedBull, to get that kind of performance, buy a 350Z, sell the vario, use the money to buy performance parts for 350Z and there you go.....

Couple of months back i was here asking for which car to buy. I decided to buy city 1.3 manual and went to the showroom and loved the steermatic parked there.
The more i checked more i appreciated and within couple of days steermatic was with me.

how fast i hv driven ? 185/kmh. that damn XLi was racing with me and had to beat it

[hahohe]

did you beet Xli on cng

[vazim]

@hahohe

I was on petrol! On CNG its easy to reach 140 kmh and afterward u need to be hard on accelerator.

Acceleration is good not really like petrol but on the city roads where u encounter signals at every other yard, i think it doesn't make a difference whether u run on petrol or CNG.

[vazim]

repeat post

vazim brother, please tell me about the xli race:

1. was it a standing start or a roll-on or did u catch it from behind?
2. were u able to beat the XLI easily?
3. was xli also on CNG?
4. were u on manual mode or S mode?

raced any other car besides xli?

@retrograde
alright

1. caught it from the behind
2. not easily,
3. xli was petrol
4. initially was in D-mode but when i closed to overtake, changed to S-mode

[FLi_GTi]

Whats the deal with S mode? It just keeps the tranny in a lower set of ratios. Its defined as "SECOND" in the owner's manual not to be confused with "SPORT"! Does'nt really make a difference when you're in the manual override mode, you can hold a ratio as long as you want anyway!
Furthermore i've been told that using the 7-Spd mode in S adversly affects the CVT! (Its unauthenticated but its going on alot of forums)

[vazim]

@Fli-Gti

u r right, S-mode keeps a lower set of ratios and probably add more revs to the engine.

I use 7-speed mode to overtake on highways. Just the push of a button and engine is up by some 500 revs and you can shoot past any car.

7-speed or manual doesn't become absolute manual until u press the up or down shift on steering. Also there's no need to use 7-speed in S-mode when in D-mode it works beautifully.

[fso]

is steermatic gonna be lanuched again.....and is honda upgrading the city..

[hsnmz]

Salam

@fso maybe, its quite possible. As the sales of steermatic are low so before launching the new model, I think Honda stopped its production to clear the stock. Remember when the ivtec Civic was launched, there were alot of old model Civics in honda's stock, clearing which was very difficult for them. So I think they don't want to repeat that mistake.

On this weekend I had a trip to Lahore via Motorway. and the car gave me an average of 18.5 km per ltr without AC. I drove between 115 to 130 km/hr speed with 3 passengers. I think its very good for a 1.5 ltr car. what do you think bros!

[vazim]

@hsnmz

that's very good average. how much u have driven so far and did get it checked through computer at Honda?

[RedBull_ar]

i find S mode better for overtaking, not because of higher revs, but in D mode, there is always some lag, the 1.3l version always hesitates to rev up.
