Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Did a weekend trip to Kumbakonam and back. A round trip of around 590 kms. The onward journey was a little hectic: had to wake up at 2.30 am drop daughter of at airport as she was going to Singapore on an educational trip, came home caught some sleep and started the drive at around 8-15 am and reached Kumbakonam at around 2-15 pm, 6 hours at a leisurely pace with breakfast at Manoj Bhavan, Mamandur. After lunch sleep hit me on the head like a brick and slept for almost four hours till 7 pm went Temple Hopping (Sarangapani and Ramaswamy Temples) after that. Fastag worked well. Mileage: 15 kmpl with 4 persons and luggage. Returned the next day started at 3-30pm and reached by 10 pm encountered traffic on Chennai out skirts. The sunset on the way back just before A2B on NH 45 was a sight to behold and parked safely and took a few pics. All images iPhone 11 Pro Max. forget compact pro cameras like Fuji and Leica, iPhone 11 is the one to have, night mode just rocks and dynamic range is phenomenal.

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() BS6 Honda City launched with Digipad 2.0 with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and features such as voice commands, turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth and wireless infrared remote. https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/india...9-91-lakh.html (BS6-compliant Honda City petrol launched at Rs. 9.91 lakh) ![]() can we have this in 2017-19 Honda City? Digipad 1.0 is the the only thing I don't like in 2017 Honda City. |

| ![]() Completely agree with you Mukeshgoel. The only blip in Honda City is its crappy infotainment system. I have been waiting for it to get upgraded / replaced, but whenever I ask the SA folks, they indicate its not possible. In fact I even wrote a mail to Honda asking if we can replace Digipad with Digipad 2. It will be really great if the existing BS4 versions of 2017 City get Digipad 2. In case any of you get it, please let me know. |

Infractions: 0/2 (8) | ![]() Hey guys, Few questions about the ZX CVT: 1.How is the suspension at the front and the back? 2. How does the gearbox perform on the Highway? ( I read that it's a CVT+ AT) 3. How is the bite of the brakes and do the horns require an upgrade? 4. Is the rear bench comfortable for tall passengers (5'10 and 6 feet) Thank you |

1) The front suspension is a staple Mcpherson strut and a torsion beam at the rear. At City speeds, ride quality is decent, although I wouldn't say it's exceptional. However, it gets better with increase in speed. On undulating roads, uneven patches and expansion joints, there is a fair amount of vertical movement and the car won't stay stable. Where the city's suspension really shows it's bad side is on broken/bad tarmac. The ride gets crashy and most bumps filter into the cabin. 2) The 1.5 + CVT combo performs pretty well on the highway, once you learn the characteristics of the CVT gearbox. Where the gearbox really shows its weakness is when you suddenly floor the throttle, probably for an overtake manoeuvre. There's an increase in RPM and engine noise, but no corresponding increase in speed (the rubber band effect). Pedal to metal doesn't work here, only soft accelerator inputs do. The S mode on the gearbox does make a difference on the highway since it stays in a lower gear and gives instant response, and also aids engine braking. Manual mode can also be accessed using the paddle shifters. 3) One thing I love about the City are the brakes. Brake pedal bite is sharp and the brakes are very strong. Braking from high speed makes the car stop in a straight line with zero fuss. The dual horn on the City is absolutely horrible and an upgrade is a must! 4) The rear bench has loads of legroom and decent under thigh support for someone of decent height. Even a 6 footer sitting behind a 6 foot driver will have more than adequate legroom. The seat is well cushioned and is very comfortable, even on long drives. Regards Prathik | |

2) It performs flawlessly on the highways. 3) Brake's are good; horns definitely need and upgrade, that said I haven't upgraded it yet. 4) I wouldn't know as no one's that tall in my family; that said it's probably the most comfy backseat in this segment. Even the front seats are high set with comfy ingress-egress. Last edited by Durango Dude : 14th December 2019 at 22:29. | |

| ![]() 3. How is the bite of the brakes and do the horns require an upgrade? Bite is far far far better than amaze. It gives you a lot of confidence on highway. Also, Headlight throw is not up to the mark for highway runs. Please do upgrade if you are going for the City. 4. Is the rear bench comfortable for tall passengers (5'10 and 6 feet) I'm 6'1. No problem at all at the back in the City. Much better than Ciaz & Verna. Last edited by NPX : 15th December 2019 at 01:57. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Leisurely short ride down the ECR from Chennai to Mahabs to see the sunrise on Sunday, 15-12-2019. Also did some birding at the Muttukadu ECR Bridge. Mostly iPhone 11 Pro Max (Mahabs and shot of the Honda City) birds and Muttukadu scenes Nikon D3200 + Tamron 150-600mm. Also spotted an LTD stickered Innova Crysta on the way back at the toll plaza, this toll plaza is non-Fastag till date. Last edited by Durango Dude : 17th December 2019 at 17:54. |

| ![]() Hi all, I recently lost the rubber button (for car lock-unlock) on the drivers side door handle, don't know where and how. Rest of the handle is fine with all sensors working. I showed it to the Honda service centre they said I will have to replace the whole handle as rubber button is not available separately. And it will cost 5k. kindly help. |
