Audacity




AudaCity is home.












Finally. After almost a year of planning the City's finally home. Been in love with the car since I saw it last year because of its agressive stance. Its features aren't too bad either. Vtec Engine... Aux/usb port for music... Adjustable steering wheel for customized driving.... Euro 4 emission rating... Abs braking system... Power everything... Theft deterrent immobilizer..... and airbags.

















Fuel consumption is very good but the fc gauge isn't too accurate (got the 1.3 S M/T). I'm averaging 12.4 km/l according to the gauge but I calculated it myself and I'm only getting 11.4 km/l. Forums also agree. Speaking of forums, I discovered that some GM (codename for the Honda City body frame 2009 and up) owners noticed that their right side bumper had a gap between the tail lights. I checked mine and it also had the gap in the same area. It's an aesthetic flaw but nevertheless you'd expect more from Honda. It doesn't bother me too much because it doesn't affect functionality but some users on the forums were.

Now itching to buy it new shoes. Priorities, Livid. Priorities.


UPDATE: I recently discovered how to use the trip meter (thanks manual) and it's easier to check fc depending on the driving style. e.g. in the early morning (when there's no traffic), I got 22 km/l!!! In the afternoon on my way home when there's moderate traffic, I only get 13.8 km/l. Not bad still.
