Hi scorpion_blore,


Could it be that the rattling issues you have reported get sorted out by simply visiting a different Honda service center? I had a similar experience with my Maruti vehicle, where I kept complaining about the rattles at Bimal Maruti service center at Bannerghatta road and they couldn't fix that. However, the people at Suraksha Maruti at Hosur road fixed the problem in one visit.

Sorry for such a later reply to your query. My apologies as I missed noticing it.

Secret
Light foot on CVT and let it gradually gain speed
A/C at 26 all the time
I should also say, my mornings are relatively easy traffic
Evenings are heavy
I am getting around 17-18 kmpl both by Tank method and as per MID as well

I got seriously fed up of the rattling issues and contacted Honda to recommend a competent ASC. As expected, the GM from the ASC which I used to frequent contacted me and apologized for the problems faced. The issue was rectified during the next visit to the same ASC, however there is still some mild rattle that can be observed when going over rough roads. At least it is much much better than what it was earlier.

This time I'll leave Brownie for service at another ASC and try my luck.

Brownie has now clocked close to 32k kms within two years of purchase. Looks like it'll easily clock 100k within the next 2-3 years. Apart from the rattles now, I don't see any issue in this car.

For a Honda, no news is probably good news.

Been a while since your last update; how's your brownie holding up?
