Press "Cruise" button, a green light on MID should glow. Then if your car speed is more than 40 kmph, press 'set" button. yooooo, you are in cruise control. pls take care while in cruise control. it makes driving so boring that you may start feeling monotonous.

Looking at the Hyundai Verna prices, unless Hyundai majorily jacks up prices, I just see no takers for Honda Higher end trims, only thier Base E and SV trims now look VFM, If Honda dont reduce prices or give discounts on the V, VX and ZX, I see them majorly suffering in Sales.

What will the City VX and ZX Automatic give over the Diesel and Petrol Automatics of the Verna to have such a Huge premium?

15.6?[surprise]
My worst FE was 22, in jaipur, bumper to bumper traffic, where crossing 1/2km of patch took 1.5 hours..
15.6 is very low.
I get 25.5 in moderate city traffic (with AC)
and 27.6 on highway..

Our place is filled with bad roads and we travel in bumper to bumper traffic most of the time and sometimes,the car will be in idle and last service had happened in Nov 2016 when the reading was 31398 Kms as per service records.Need to give her for 40K Kms service by this month end as the odo reading is 38000+ Kms.

And,how to increase the FE of the car?Im getting around 15-16 Kmpl in City traffic with AC on most of the time and want a slight increase in FE(Tankful to tankful method) in City traffic but MID shows around 17 Kmpl in city running.On highways,I got 22 Kmpl after doing 354 Kms recently(220 Kms on highways and 134 Kms inside City),which is good according to my dad as of now.And,pretty satisfied with highway mileage but I'm bit unhappy with FE in city traffic.This could be due to my mom's way of driving.She always loves to drive it faster and does sudden braking most of the time.However,she gives better than our 96000 Kms run 2011 Innova,which gives only 9-10 Kmpl in city and 12 Kmpl on highways and our previous 2012 Vento TDI,which used to give just 12-13 Kmpl in city traffic with AC on most of the time and 17-18 Kmpl on highways.Note,Vento had run 1.12L Kms when we sold it off and in that,we did 1L Kms and sold it off.

And,I'm thinking to get rogerabs coils installed in my Honda City along with tyre upsize to 195/60R15.How it will be?Shall I get only tyres upsized or get the rogerabs along with 195/60's as I need some extra ground clearance for Honda city as we always travel on bad roads most of the time.

Check the service booklet of what's mandatory in 40k kms schedule, when was the last oil and oil filter changed? Rest wil be the regular running repairs.

Legroom and rear seat width + comfort is much better in City than Verna. But Yes, over 1 lac premium compared to Verna for this is too much to ask for.

In terms of Features and Engine + Transmission combo, Verna clearly has an edge over City. After sales should be similar for both

Today,when we are having casual talk,my mom complained my dad that the car is giving poor pickup and she felt like pressing the accelerator like gas.What could be the issue?She felt the same with our previous Vento in last days of ownership and I felt that the engine noise is entering into the cabin since the bumper incident.What could be the issue for this?

Now,she has run close to 43000 Kms.I feel Honda's quality had come down than previous gen versions.

Check the coolant levels immediately, also all the oil levels, maybe the issue would be of overheating or sort of that.

Planning to buy the New Honda City VX MT . Wanted to check with Current owners hows the mileage in City bumper to bumper traffic and highways.

Also hows the Quality of the interiors with regards to Rattles please. Heard the Quality is drastically gone down and a lot of Suspension noise comes in the cabin while going over pot holes.
