Hi Vsk2009, Did you check with other dealers as some of them may have an extra car or some other customer may have cancelled their car due to the long waiting period. Try your luck ? I did and found one however, the color was not which my family agreed on. I recommend you should check with other dealers as well. | |

| ![]() Sad to hear that. Its so bad when one cant buy a car of their choice whatever the car may be. Sincerely hope that honda does something to prevent such cancellations. Good luck for your car. Like alive2drive said check out options before moving on |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Did my first ever long highway drive; Approx. 310 Kms. Thane - Pune - Thane. Got a FE of 16.5 for the complete length of the drive as per MID which I would classify as 80% Highway and 20% City (Mumbai, near Lonavla and Pune). No a spirited drive but not even a very sedate drive. Did about 100-120 for a major amount of stretches. ![]() I had some trouble is trying to get my car to move from standstill on Lonavla Ghats. Kept stalling the engine trying to pick up the car on steep slopes ![]() Is there any RPM settings that I can do that can assist me in such conditions or it is that I just need to practice more on stopping and starting on steep slopes. |

Idling belt noise - Only for petrol models, but dealers are aware of this now and replacing it under warranty. Water Leakage - I guess that was due to the AC rather than any rain water getting in. High Speed Instability - Just go for Fiat Linea or Skoda Rapid in this segment and definitely not Verna. Even the Vento does not come up to Linea levels as per some of the reviews. City is still better than Verna as far as I know having driven a Verna as well. There will be issues in any new car models released and these has to be rectified gradually. There are many issues reported by users for some people I know in the previous generation of City. With the new Verna due to be launched this year end, I guess its not advisable to book and take one now. | |

| ![]() Have driven 1200 kms till now. Haven't experienced a single issue reported till now. Touch wood. Maybe Honda is improving the quality as feedback is pouring in with the relative issues. |

Leaking rain water? That's quite shocking for a Honda! Is it the weather seals or some other area that's prone to water entry? Sent from my iPhone using Team-BHP | |

I'm from Kerala, and with some heavy rains, there is no leakage so far. My CVT had electrical earthing issues due to which the doors were unlocking automatically, since the service team did not check the basic things before delivery as they were new dealers and service team is not that experienced. Another experienced dealer here rectified this issue completely. Last edited by adarsh76 : 3rd August 2014 at 20:26. | |

I need a car very urgently in this peak Goa monsoon. Waiting till November-December is impossible. So went for Verna. Otherwise I would have happily waited ![]() | |
