The only downside as pointed out on my ownership thread is that they do come out marginally from body/mud guard coverage (maybe due to slightly wider alloys as well) so the lower part of the side doors always gets really messy during rains. Quote:

| ![]() I'm pretty happy with the overall experience (touch wood), I'm planning to get the following points clarified/corrected during the next service. 1. Driver Door inner black plastic panel at the top gets pushed outward when the power window rolls down. The plastic panel sets itself inwards back into position after the window fully rolls up. It doesn't happen for all the other doors. Its not an issue per se, but I just want to get it checked during next service. Did anyone else face the same ? 2. Rear left charging socket is not working. Just felt like checking if all 3 sockets are working and found this one. Have never used this socket, just tested it with a phone charger and didn't find it active/working. 3. The front power door mirrors motor doesn't turn on simultaneously, the left mirror opens/closes sooner than the right mirror. Is it possible to laminate (with a plastic film) the lower back part of the front seat rests? The beige fabric tends to get soiled with shoe marks. Also I feel that the beige color is totally unnecessary for the floor mats and carpets. It is very difficult to maintain them. ![]() No wonder all higher segment cars (direct import/assembled) have all black interiors. Its the popular demand here that forces manufacturers to provide Beige color for the masses. I wish the fascination for Beige interiors goes away in India.

Has anyone noticed another stuff related to rolling up rear power windows? If the (stock) music player is on, I can hear a squeaky noise when the rear power windows reach the top. The SA told it is present in many (all, according to him) VTec City's. He said it is something to do with a relay cut off. Hard to believe explanations. | |

| ![]() The water leakage was earlier identified from the audio system speakers & i was charged 5k to change the speaker rings + labour as these were aftermarket fitted JBLs. Even after that the water leakage continued so now for the 3rd week they have the car and now are saying it is leaking from the door panels - i have verified this while sitting with the SA in the car with a water jet wash being poured on the car outside. This is from the bottom, B-pillar side of the doors. They are fixing it now. Completely lost faith in the quality of Honda; shouldve gotten the Ciaz instead. :( Of what use is a new 10L rupee car that is unusable for 3 weeks because it does not provide shelter / is not rain waterproof!? |

| ![]() Interesting, I did quite some driving in the rain yesterday. Rain as well as slush and checked the side doors and the lower part and to my surprise there was not much of a mess. Will post some pictures later on my ownership thread. Is this something to do with the way the P3ST tire treads splash water ? I am sure there are some XM2 owners out there, are you folks having a similar issue - I don't seem to have this issue with the XM2. |

Have driven in extremely heavy rains a few times. Done pressure washing and regular washing. There has been no leakage of any kind anywhere. | |

I think this issue must have been caused during transportation. Well, the Ciaz is a good car, but just don't expect it to be trouble free as well rather any cars. I have seen people reporting complaints online about their Mercs as well. | |

| ![]() Hello Buddies I have been reading about the leakage issues. Has anybody of you written to Honda Cars India on their twitter, email or facebook ? Even I'm facing an issue with the front suspension noise and even after reporting this at the first service the issue was not resolved. Then I simply emailed to Honda One2One and bang they caught hold of the dealer and now they are after me to get the car repaired from them. Will post my ownership thread soon with all what I could find. Regards Harpreet |

Agreed that yours is a genuine case of quality issue but really can't make it a generalised statement that Honda has not focused on the quality of Citys being delivered. As for Ciaz, its not yet launched and not yet reviewed by anybody for Real-life goodness. So don't jump the gun by thinking that the Ciaz is going to be better that the City. | |

2. The rear left charging socket is working fine in my car. 3. In my case, both the mirrors fold and unfold simultaneously. Obvious that the faults are a one-off situation in your car. So please get these rectified by the ASS. | |
