BHPian | ![]() I am yet to find any niggles in my new 2017 VMT yet (touchwood). However, I find the engine noisier than the 2010 City I had. The ivtec is super silent at idle, however I find my Ritz 1.2 to have a more smoother sound when I increase the revs. I noticed the same in the TD car as well. NVH levels have definitely taken a hit in the new ones. Last edited by Altocumulus : 3rd April 2017 at 20:34. |

It is still 6 months. However, IIRC 1st service - 1 month, 2nd - 3 month and 3rd - 6 month and then every 6 months. | |

That was the *sole* reason why I didn't upgrade from my SX4. It actually felt like a downgrade, after I drove it at 120 kmph on Blore's NICE Expy (took TD vehicle from Dakshin Honda, close to NICE). At slow speeds, you can't make out. But at hwy speeds, its uncomfortably noisy. | |

Above 2500rpm its a monster. The ivtech bares its fangs, the traffic in the rear view mirror disappears, and lets out a very addictive throaty growl. This is best enjoyed with the MT. With CVT it is just a growl with no increase in speed. ![]() I love this dual nature of the city. It can be a refined family hauler but you can make the iVtech roar once in a while and have some fun. | |

But bury the pedal and it goes crazy. It is F-A-S-T. And has one of the sportiest stock exhaust note I've experienced. It's not at all loud. Rear passengers may not even hear it. But you will. And it will induce a smile. Oh, and did I mention iVtec can reach 100 kmph in 2nd gear itself? ![]() 0-100 link (in sub 10 seconds in MT variant. This guy has shifted perfectly) : Just hear that sweet exhaust note. No turbo spoiling it. And look at the way that rev needle shoots. I gotta admit: There's no replacement for displacement and sweet N.A. Engines! Last edited by The Brutailer : 3rd April 2017 at 23:41. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Thank you, things have finally smoothened out. Since the niggles were promptly set right. There are many levels to escalate your grievances sitting at home. |

| ![]() A couple of weeks ago I test drove the new City VX manual. I quite enjoyed the drive in as much that the overall feel is better than the earlier versions. Though the ride is firm with the wider and lower profile tyres, the grip has definitely improved and there appears to be a slight reduction in road noise. One issue I see is that if the tyres need to be changed, where do we find 185/55 R16 tyres? Neither Michelin nor Bridgestone nor Apollo nor MRF appear to have this size available in their portfolios. This is not an issue with the lower versions. |

| ![]() The 2017 Honda City prices are going up in the range of 50k-90k. VMT petrol is going up by 70k. I'm likely to skip my HC purchase going by this update from the sales rep. The SV is what dealers are pushing as most are in stock. But without the alloy wheels, digipad, push start, the SV variant looks pretty bare bones to me.
