Thank you. The LED DRL's cost me Rs 1600 for a pair and they are really powerful. More like fog lamps. The DRL's switch on when the ignition key is turned to the first slot so i guess some wire from the ignition was spliced and the DRL wire was connected to it.
Attaching a photo taken at night of the DRL's with the headlights off.

This is what my sales person did for me. Even though I never upgraded to the broader tyres.

Thanks Harpreet. I am yet to buy the car. But what do you do with the 'old but new' tires?

Congrats dockap. Nice pictures. What have you done to the stock tires? Sold them? or got an exchange offer? or are they just lying around?

Hi Dockap

They look wonderful, I must say.

Can you please put a clear picture of the DRLs , so that we can find out they are dotted LEDs or a smoother looking tube of light ? Did you got them fitted from the ASS or an accessory shop ?

Regards
Harpreet

I exchanged the stock tyres for the new ones. Paid Rs 3200/- extra for each tyre.

They are smooth tube type. I find them better looking than the dotted LED's.

You can talk to the Tyre dealer much before the tyre swap, that you intend to do. Talk to your Sales Agent in advance as to which tyres the car is being shipped with and let the Tyre dealer know in advance and provide you a buy back price of the stock tyres. Then on the day of delivery, just drive to the Tyre dealer first and get them replaced them with a favourite ones.

I did not swap as I got Good year ones, which are much better than the MRF ones. Moreover I did not want to exceed my budget right now.

I must say, they are looking fabulous. Did you talk to Honda ASC whether they would be happy to program your Fog lamps to the ECU ? That would be a really a great thing if ASC agrees to do so. In my Ecosport case, Ford ASC had agreed to do that for me for the after market fog lamps too.

Congratulations !!! on the new ride. I see that you have mentioned that car is a base model.A much closer look at the pictures shows that it has the regular antenna above the windshield which is provided in the variants E & S. However I see the shark finn & the chrome grill as well on the car which start from SV onwards did you buy these as accessories. Please let us know how much did they cost you.

cheers,
pdma.

The SA in Bangalore said pretty much the same, a waiting period of four months at least for any model. He said it is because the City production is being slowed down/halted in favor of the Mobilio.

[Vahanam]

Little excited. My wait is now time bound . I am getting delivery of my Earth Dreams this month end. Vehicle will be dispatched 3rd week of this month. Price though got hiked. Even the dealer does not know exact amount. Expected to be around 6K + for VX. Will post when i have information.

P.S: There is a Mobilio event this weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun) in Orion Mall and Mantri Mall.

Hello All,

Kindly let me know if any one from Hyderabad has the info on the current wait time for SV IDtec.As of now I have my return ticket for December (hope it doesn't change) and would like to book in advance so that I need not wait much when Iam back.
As some of you already know I booked the car in Nov 2013 immediately after the launch however cancelled the same later as I had to travel on work.

cheers,
pdma.

Interesting Comparison between the Honda City, Toyota Vios and Nissan Sunny/Almera by Paul Tan

Clearly shows that as an overall product Honda City is the best car in that segment.
