U mean auto retractable side mirrors can do outside in accessory shop? Prefer got button to press instead of starting engine then it folds by itself.

Hello all the bros here, I've been away for a week, seems like some of you already got your new city.

Here's something to share:

After my first service this morning, i can feel my city is much more smoother and responsive. Before that the car was quite under power, may be engine has not run it yet. But everything is fine now. Overall I'm quite happy for what it is now, handling is crisp especially on higher speed (120 km/h - 140 km/h). Pick up is good enough for normal driving, FC is around 15 km/L. Compare to my previous 4G city, the new city is much heavier. And the worst thing is the height of the driver seat is not adjustable, and it is very high, feel like driving a wagon. So...first thing I'm gonna do, is lower it, Muahahha....

If yours is LX spec. driver seat shud be adjustable, if i'm not mistaken. 15km/L for yr new city, how abt comparing with yr old city? better or worse?

Ard the same compare to my old city, but i can't make the judgement now, after first service the ride is much smoother and responsive, FC might improve. Will update you guys.

FC of 15km/L sounds good, about the same as the previous gen of city, right? i heard that the new gen5's FC would be a little lower than the previous gen.
if after run in, FC improves, even better.....

My old city is Vtec. The first service cost me $130++. Yup they did replace the engine oil and oil filter. 15km/l consider not bad. About the same with my old city, but really depends on driving style. For me I usually cheong a while then cruise......then cheong a bit and cruise again.....

bro its becoz they usually use thicker visciousity mineral oil to run in ur engine. after which they chg to thinner synthetic oil so ur engine will haf lesser resistance hence better FC. and also ur ECU is learning ur driving habits..

u confirm with me ur car collection date as soon as u know, i try to pass u the engine oil break in additives
