This Valentine: My Wife's gift to me - The ANHC VAT (Polished Metallic)

StarVegabond · 17th February 2010, 19:24

Hi The Beast Fieast,

Congratulations for 2-3 things

1. able to celebrate Valentine Day with your girl friend + wife (In these days of you know who)

2. for getting an ANHC as gift from your valentine.

3. Becoming the owner of your socalled dream car's third avtar.

Drive safe, have fun

Guna · 17th February 2010, 21:27

Congrats on the new ANHC AT.
BTW, black Jazz looks stunning. No wonder it almost changed your mind

Hey Beast Fiesta
Superb Valentine, I must say.
Paddle Shifters are so fun to use, gives you the racing car feel!

Congrats buddy. My uncle is also buying a City 1.8V but its hard to decide on the colour although the car is scheduled for delivery next week (seems ready availability of running colours). I'll be changing the alloys (15" in Konig or Lenso) and tyres (the profile you got, either on Michelin Primacy LC or Yokohama Decibel). By the way, what price did you get for the stock tyres and new footwear?

null · 17th February 2010, 22:50

wow. Do such wives really exist? Did you pinch yourself and check once again that you indeed got this new GF?

Guys, I just cant thank enough to you and many more for sharing their rich experiences. And now after driving her for 350+ KMs in 4 days I know what it is like to feel her.

The wait till Valentine day which happens to be my b'day was very tough but I will cherish this day for life.

@Guna, I never gave a thought to jazz till the time i personally saw it and let me tell the moment you enter inside you just want to own that beauty.

The sales man gave a very good reason why Jazz is not selling much, he said, "A lot people come for jazz but when they see the price difference between Jazz and Honda City EMT / SMT is hardly 1L to 1.2L they change their mind. As most of them go for financing and additional 1L costs only INR2,000/- extra per month (Roughly)".

In India its better as well, as by paying around 2,000 extra per month one gets not only big status symbol car but better specifications as well in terms of engine capacity, BHP and Torque.

great write up dude. enjoyed reading the thread. Post some interior pics as well

What is the FE you are getting?

Jazz looks very cute in black (1st pic). Sad pricing by Honda else would have been a hit all the way!

Bang on, I thought that till first tank up I wont use the 'S' mode or paddle shifters, but I am already using them in 'D' mode, driving Manual for so many users helps in deciding when to upshift and when to downshift.

City 1.8V? it has to be 1.5, and if its 'V' then it will come with alloys already.

If unsure of colour, you can go for white and then get Lenso's white alloys the combination will be killer.

I was not lucky to get michlean as stock, i got MRF, the Tyre dealer bought them 2500 per tyre and the Primacy LC costed me 4900/- Per tyre.

Thank you very much.

I still have to check the tank - to - tank method, the Cars FE meter is showing 13.4, I am expecting between 12 -- 12.5, its all in city no highway.

Many congratulations on your ANHC. Do keep posting.

humans · 18th February 2010, 17:38

Hey TheBeastFieast Congrats for the City and new job.

I think I saw your car in our parking the other day, looking really awesome.

And if I am guessing correctly you are in Noida Campus of CXX and joining XBX nearby only.

sidindica · 18th February 2010, 17:38

Congratulations on your new City.

We too have a person who owns the same colour (S MT) in our colony.
I have to say that this colour is classy, but I have seen very few takers for this shade in east Delhi.

raamki · 18th February 2010, 21:23
