I guess we have a good report on the mileage statistics of the XM2 on the forum since many have gone for it. Not sure if we have anyone with a P3ST and i-DTEC combination who can report on the mileage? From reports so far on the P3ST, the durability seems to be good.

I'm on P3ST and very happy with the tyres. They are super silent and the extra comfort can be felt even in city driving. There may be a marginal impact on FE but i'll let Nikhil comment on that. | |

| ![]() Was surprised to receive a courier from Honda today with a thank you note from Honda India CEO thanking to make City a huge success alongwith a Honda original key chain. Wanted to upload a pic here on the Team bhp iOS app, but the app wouldn't allow me (permission issue??) Any one here who got a similar communication? |

I'm on Primacy 3ST and have done 1000+ Kms. They are absolutely silent and I am not sure on the impact on FE. I am getting a healthy 12.5 Kms in city driving conditions mostly B2b traffic. Neel: Did you get a chance to check on the bearing noise? I am still waiting to hear from the SA on the spare part. He has no clue and informs me that it's not available in honda's stock and the order is in back log state. The other problem I am facing is the engine knocking sound. It's very disturbing!! I am suspecting knocking sensor to be the culprit. Do you have any similar issues? P.S: It's a ivtec VMT. | ||

Can you elaborate on the engine knocking sound? I'm not sure what it means and what it would sound like. Also, are you experiencing it while driving or also in park/neutral mode and with AC on/off? | |

| ![]() Hello All, Finally after a wait of 3 and half month, lot of petrol vs diesel debate and City Vs Verna debate got my Honda City IVTEC VMT Silver today. The delivery was smooth and the ODO read just 7 Km when I took over!! Thanks to Team BHP ran through the PDI checklist mentioned and everything was in order. Got all documents including, extended warranty (only got the certificate) and RSA (got the booklet). The drive was good but since it was late evening got the worst traffic for a first day of new car drive. The ride was extremely smooth and joy to cruise. The only 'not so great' thing was that the music kept pausing for 2-5 seconds every 2 minutes, perhaps since the pen drive was 8 gb, but definitely look into this on the weekend. I propose to right a detailed ownership review in the next 15 days once I clock around 500 Kms. But all said and done the feeling is just overwhelming.!! |

The knocking sound comes once you drive your car on in correct gear ratios, I think which is common with every car. But it stays even after you move on to the right ratios. To test this issue, I drove the car on Third gear and fourth gear at lower speeds/rpm (30 kmph and between 900-1500 rpm) on empty roads . I could immediately hear the knocking sound coming from the left side of the engine bay. And after moving to higher speeds/rpm the sound stays back is pretty much evident. I am not sure if it is common with all the 4th Gen iVTECs. | |

| ![]() I just received my RC card. Received it in about 3.5 weeks. My SA hasn't got back with respect to the extended warranty letter or the Road Side Assistance book. I'll check with him again on this. ![]() Quote:
Regarding the engine knocking, I am not experiencing any such noise. Mine is CVT so most of the time it is in the desired gear ratio but even when I'm pushing the pedal a bit hard, so far atleast I've not experienced this noise. | |

I am waiting for the replacement of the bearing and hoping that this issue will resolve with that! | |

As for a car accessory shop , i'll recommend Motor Concept , Kirti Nagar (i've only heard about their audio installs from friends and they are great in that) , i guess they must be having other accessories you require too. (Give them a call) , i'm planning to visit that place too for audio upgrade in my car and a couple of other accessories (Better Horns (Hella) and Parking sensors (its a real pain to reverse the City otherwise , mine is SV)) Last edited by Rocketscience : 16th April 2014 at 23:26. | |
