| ![]() Has anyone from this forum taken delivery of the new city from Arya Honda Mumbai?. I have booked a iVtec and asked for a PDI prior to registration but they have refused point blank without any reason. According to them its just company policy. |

| ![]() Try to convince them please. Dealers do have an upper hand with products in demand and they can deny a PDI. You really do NOT have a choice. |

Did the issue reappear after adjusting the drive belt? Feroz mentioned that it might be temporary so wanted to check Feroz, Any update on the issue? I just gave my car to Whitefield Honda (1st Service, 1200km run). They were not aware of any kind of complaints in this regards. I had recorded the grilling sound earlier and when they heard it, they did find it a bit weird. The problem is that after that one instance, I have not been able to reproduce the issue. To get to the service center, I had to drive about 25km over 1 hour but still no grilling sound. As that sound is not coming, it'll be difficult for them to identify the problem. They did assure me, that they'll check whatever they can with this regards. I did mention him about idle bearing and belt adjustment which they'll check. | |||

| ![]() I have booked Honda city SV AT on 28th Feb from Magnum Honda, Mekhri circle, Bangalore. SE has told that the car will be arrived in this week. I need to updrade the tyres as ther are extremly bad roads and taller speend breakers in northen Bangalore area (Urban off raoding, SUV owners heartily invited ![]() I am not that much happy as well with stiffer suspensions and need tyres with wider profile (preferebly 65) to have some improvement in ride quality. I have shortlisted 3 tyrs from Michellin (seen in pic). I will use the OE rims only. I am keen to go with 195/65/15 instead of 195/60/15 (widely recommnded on team bhp). I know couple of collgues B103 and vikash49 have used 195/65/15 tyres and are happy with them (of couse in older ANHC). Need expert opinion on the same. Will 195/60/15 XM2 provide better ride quality comparable to 3ST 195/65/15. Last edited by loving_alaap : 30th April 2014 at 12:24. |

| ![]() Have been trying past few days but have been unsuccessful. They are even implying indirectly to cancel the booking and take it to a dealer of my choice. If someone has done a PDI from Arya Honda dealership then I can quote them accordingly and have it approved. |

| ![]() Thanks Vsrivatsa and raVan. I should be writing this in the 4th gen tyre upgrade forum but in the continuation with the discussion, I have 2 questions. 1. What can be the ideal air pressure for 195/60/15. 2. Will the 195/60/15 spare tyre fit in the space given in the boot. |

For, exact fuel efficiency difference we do not have proof points as yet but as a thumb rule we can say the XM2 will have an edge by some percentage since its made for mileage. Also, another aspect for which we do not have real world stats as yet is the tyre wear out and how long it lasts in comparison with XM2 but Michelin claims this has been improved from its previous version. | |

Two weeks after service, the ringing sound does not reappear. I am referring to the noise that you recorded & shared sometime back on this thread. I am not sure about the grinding noise. I too feel that the engine is a bit noisy, not so silent as claimed. Those who observe this "grinding" noise, can you please share the recording so that I shall confirm. Thanks | |

| ![]() Had been to the showroom you mentioned to enquire a used car for a friend. No one bothered to ask us what we wanted. We had a nice time sitting in all cars.Finally when the salesman arrives , he was not interested in showing using cars. We had to wait for one more person who never showed up. We headed to Toyota the same day and finalized a car within an hour. |
