CVT = Rs. 14.32 lakhs OTR

That's a 2.5 lakh rupee difference just for the auto gearbox. Ridiculously atrocious pricing by Honda I believe.

The AC cooling on my ZX CVT 2017 model is not as powerful as on my BRV CVT. I maintain 26 Degrees on Auto setting.In the BRV it is still chilly whereas in the City, I can call it just ambient. The worst is when the car is parked in sun. It just fails to cool the car as it is supposed to. I need to leave the front windows and sometimes sunroof open with AC on, for the hot air to leave and it takes atleast 15 minutes on Lo to show some effect.

What is the difference in ex showroom price. I suspect road tax the reason behind the huge difference.

Bangalore ex-showroom price difference is ~1.8 lacs.
V-MT(P) - 9,95,xxx
V-CVT(P) - 11,63,xxx

The V-MT is only ~29k more than the SV-MT, and the same autobox is only about a lac extra on the VX variant, so this is not about the autobox but Honda protecting its bread & butter variant. :)

Dear Team BHPians and Honda City Owners,

I am posting this on behalf of my friend who recently bought a brand new Honda City, 2017 model. 2 months after the car was purchased AC stopped working and from there the sequence of nightmares started to unfold. To cut long story short, the service center has lifted up their hands stating they are unable to zero down on issue and has escalated the same to Honda and is waiting for a response.

I am posting this on behalf of my friend who recently bought a brand new Honda City, 2017 model. 2 months after the car was purchased AC stopped working and from there the sequence of nightmares started to unfold. To cut long story short, the service center has lifted up their hands stating they are unable to zero down on issue and has escalated the same to Honda and is waiting for a response. Iam listing down the sequence of events for fellow BHPians to analyze and help me identify the issue.

Make: Honda
Model : City 2017 VX CVT
Date of purchase: 22-Mar-2017


Sequence of Events

• 18th June, long drive from Palakkad to Ernakulam (150 Kms). AC worked fine

• 19th June, Ac stopped working. Only hot air was flowing out. Dropped the vehicle in Service centre (Vision Honda, Palarivattom)

• 20th June, SA delivered the vehicle stating all looks good and they have refilled the pressure also asking my friend to test on long drives

• Next few days as it was continuously raining temperature outside was cool and it seemed that the AC was working as expected

• On 25th June, drove to Munnar and on the way mist started forming on windshield and ac was not working at all. After stalling and restarting the car AC started working again. Glad he made his trip to Munnar as the same was a hill station and family didn’t have to face much of heat due to this nagging issue.

• 29th June, dropped the vehicle at Vision Honda and the initial feedback from SM was thermostat is not working and they don’t want to remove parts of a new car

• 30th June, car was in their custody and they drove the vehicle for 160kms and ended up replacing some relay (god knows what). They said they will keep the vehicle for two more days for trial runs. Dealer had raised the issue with Honda on 20 June itself but there was no response from Honda and when my friend asked for a copy of complaint the dealer refused to share (Not sure why) and consoled him stating they will change the whole unit if issue pops up again

Would like to know if there are any Honda owners who have face the similar issue in past. Requesting the experts to contribute their views which can lead to identify the root cause

I have the 2017 City- V. Petrol, MT with DIGIPAD
I tried connecting my oneplus2 android phone via usb port and it keeps giving me an error message (on the DIGIPAD screen) saying not compatible.

Has anyone faced similar problems, and solved it? Please let me know!
thanks

Clearly this generation of Honda City is just not up to the mark in terms of quality. My two and a half year old City VX has developed water leakage throughout the cabin and in the boot as well, all the left side footwells are filled with water. I have never faced such an issue with any case before. I hope Honda responds to you're issues, I plan to mail Honda as well as I refuse to pay for such an issue for a car less than 3 years old.

The difference in tax is huge since VCVT will be above 10L ex showroom. So the difference does come to 2.5L approx for OTR price.
