My Honda City 10k In
September 23rd, 2006
10k in, the car gives little to no trouble. I had a few complain to the Service Center, but mostly trivial, and nothing close to what I suffered on my Proton. On the 1st km, the car was extremely tight, there was not a single problem with the car. Somewhere between 1km to 5km, the steering wheel start to rattle a little when I go over bumps. During the 5km service, the mechanic tighten the airbag/horn cover, and the rattling goes away for a while. Somewhere between 5km and 10km, the rattling came back, and the driver seat start to squeak when ever goes over bumps. My last visit (10km service) to the service station, they did not have the time to fix both the problems and I am still living with it. Apart from these minor problems, the car handles well and I did not have any other issues, touch wood.
Previously on my Proton Wira Aeroback, I had to visit the service station on every weekend. Imagine, the lost of time and frustration. I had problems from leakage, to power window, to the suspension and the fuel gauge. I had the suspension squeeking, and the service station gives excuses that this is normal, and refuse to fix it. Imagine the frustration, and because of this experience, I am driving a Honda now, and I am glad, as I am still enjoying it.
