17 kmpl should be easy.
I am consistently clocking 22 kmpl with AC on all the time in my modest in-city driving, but then I am using the semi-automatic quality of the i-DTEC powering my Empress (minimal to no throttle input in first 4 gears, no clutch in the first 2 gears). The oil burner is absolutely easy to drive, specially with that "no lag" quality in any of the first 3 gears, and pick-up from standstill in the 2nd gear.

Primacy 3ST was specially made for Indian conditions for Michelin, so it should suit your needs perfectly. I have heard good things about XM2 as well but 3ST should provide a bit of extra riding comfort and silence on the highways, being the more premium offering.

I am in the radar for the 3ST (by next month, hopefully). The stock tyres are providing some superb mileage so I hope the 3ST don't drop those figures too much. If the tyres get hard to procure, I might stick with the OEMs till the first 10,000 kms, since I am primarily the sole person in my Empress, and driving inside the city most of the time.

Great to hear. The 3STs sound more and more impressive, by all the positive feedback they are getting.

That's a wonderful gesture by Honda. When did you book the car and when did you take delivery?
Maybe this is restricted to the first 500/1000 customers who booked their Citys. Those who took delivery in February/March can clarify if they received the same from Honda as well.

Worrying. Does this happen immediately after you crank up the engine first thing in the mornings?
I'll check on the grinding noise and knocking all through tomorrow and report back, although I have a suspicion this is restricted to the petrol Citys. Still, one cannot be sure.
I really hope my Empress doesn't suffer from these niggles too.

The only 'not so great' thing was that the music kept pausing for 2-5 seconds every 2 minutes, perhaps since the pen drive was 8 gb, but definitely look into this on the weekend. |
First of all, hearty congratulations on owning the hottest selling premium sedan in the country today, and welcome to the Honda City club, my friend.
This is a weird and novel issue. I have a Sandisk 8 GB USB Flash drive plugged in and don't have any problem playing my songs through it. Does the pause happen in the middle of all songs, or any particular song/set of songs in general? My USB drive plays all stuff smoothly without any hiccups.
Only problem I had in the beginning was that when I shifted the source from CD to USB, initially it said "no songs found". I pulled the USB drive out, plugged it back in, and it started reading + subsequently started playing all songs just fine.
Never happened thereafter, even after when I skipped sources, from CD to FM to USB. It picked up right from the last position it left in a particular song without any hassle.

3 weeks since I took delivery of Empress, and I haven't received my RC card yet. But then, we had taken delivery of wifey's Eon on 6th March and haven't received the RC card for that yet either!!
I thought it was all due to the March Closing + elections schedule (election polls were held here on 10th April). Guess I need to start making a few calls come tomorrow.
