I think in RC they record the month and year of manufacturing and not the registering date. | |

However, did you check the labor costs displayed in the Service Centre or on the job card. Make sure they have not overcharged you with labor cost. A particular dealership cannot increase labor charges on their own. These charges are fixed by Honda and should be the same across India. If you find a discrepancy, write a mail to Honda. | |

I have been driving diesels for over a decade, I know very well how much they should reasonably cost to maintain. The diesel filter of my Scorpio for instance costs all of 450 bucks. Its oil filter is around 150 bucks or so. Lets not forget Honda enjoys absolute monopoly in spare parts for the iDTEC, and the engine oil used is proprietary to boot. Even if you want to, you cant get the car serviced outside. You wont get parts, oil neither. Honda was one of the companies that was rapped by CCI for these malpractices. Charging more for a supposedly higher segment car is a ridiculous argument. Both City and Amaze share the same engine. Service involves replacing identical fluids and parts using identical processes and tools by common mechanics and it takes the same amount of time too. Why should then the City owner pay extra? FYI, the labour charges for the diesel City are almost identical to those for the Accord and CRV. Last edited by Shreyans_Jain : 3rd December 2014 at 13:41. | |

| ![]() I am about to book a VMT (P) and told the sales exec that I will take Delivery in early or late Feb and hence would want a 2015 manufactured vehicle, to which the guy said yes. However I was puzzled when he said that 2015 manufactured vehicles will be available from end of December onwards ![]() |

| ![]() Well it looks like I'm also going to book the city i-vtec. When I enquired about the 2015 make model yesterday, their SA said that they will be able to deliver the car in last week of Jan or in Feb. So I guess Honda has something in place that makes them able to send their cars quicker to their dealers. Or maybe they don't make too many cars in the month of December and ramp up the production in Jan to meet the demand. Inside news anyone? And one question to petrol City owners. What is the real life fuel efficiency in the city with ac on all the time. |

| ![]() Surprisingly lower than what I expected. I was hoping that the city, even in bumper to bumper traffic will give 12-13. Just to check : Was the Tyre pressure set to 30? Do you use engine breaking often or ride the clutch while breaking? Were you always alone or carrying full load?? It's probably the 1.6 l engine that's too powerful for crawling around. Quote:
