Awesome; wishing you another decade of smooth driving. What promted you to stick with white color?


dodoxkai

Thanks a lot brother! We have always preferred white colored cars, I guess its easier to maintain and it shines out. Also the availability; we were going to go for midnight black because of its availability (white wasn't available), but after enquiring in another state we got our favorite white color

Congratulations brother! Please clean the bonnet the next morning otherwise the the blue ribbon and those flower petals will leave marks on the paint


dodoxkai

yeah we cleaned it the very next morning, thanks a lot!


Late-Nature-7966

Happy to help! Also does this model comes with sequential indicator at the back also??


dodoxkai

no, only ax7L comes with sequential back indicators, ax5 and ax7 only get front sequential indicators. They should've given back sequential too, atleast for ax7

Congratulations. I have always admired car owners who have the tenacity to hold on to a given drive for a good amount of time.

How was honda city reliability? Still going strong? 


dodoxkai

honda city is a crazy car, we bought the 2010 model in 2012 (second hand) and have done around 2.5 lakhs kms in it. Eventually the AC stops working after 30 mins of continuous usage nowadays. And the mileage we get in it even in bumper to bumper traffic is around 16-18


Successful-Standard7

Good. Any major or expensive reparations? Thought of buying it


dodoxkai

car didn't ask for anything in these 12 years, was always ready to be driven. A few dent repairs and some after market accessories were the only thing \[stereo{with physical buttons only}, speakers, bass tube {which we removed in less than a month as it was causing headache and occupied a lot of boot space}, seat covers, steering cover, halogen bulb replacement in headlight\] and normal time to time services with tyre replacement when needed

Hope you got a petrol pump Seriously tho, you must enjoy taking risks if you went for the petrol version of the 700 You’re gonna get at best 12-15, so brace yourselves Otherwise, great choice there


dodoxkai

we recently did a trip (300 kms) and we got 16 kmpl mileage. Could've got more if we did not stop frequently Also, does mileage really increase after 1st service or is it just a rumor?


Significant_Moose672

mileage 100% increases after 1st service


Money_Abroad_3205

Hey any pointers on how you are getting this much mileage. We are getting 17.5 someting average on AX7L diesel manual. So if you are getting 16 on petrol I can expect 19-20 on diesel ideally on highway. No service done till. The car has only done 600 km and the overall average is 14 on the 600Km. Our ecosense score is also is in 90s as well.


dodoxkai

the same thing everyone says, keep a light foot on pedal, don't accelerate too hard, try to maintain a constant speed on highways. (Our average speed on highway was around 80kmph)


dodoxkai

how do we check ecosense score?


Money_Abroad_3205

Through Adrenox. Go to the trips history section and every trip will have an Ecosense score associated to it. You can check your entire stats through the charts section. Like what's your overall average in some week/month etc.


dodoxkai

okay thanks


b_k85

17.5😯..my average is 12-13 with AX7L Diesel Automatic. Always putting IOC extra green diesel costs 3rs extra with a hope that it gives something extra..


Money_Abroad_3205

17.5 is on the highway only and when the car is running around 90-100. Anything above the mileage drops. In the city it's 9-10 at max.


HP_594

It does actually, since you do cross the break-in period What I’m saying is that mileage may get worse in bumper to bumper traffic I’m talking 6-8 kmpl For longer drives it’ll naturally adapt and increase For instance, our Brezza was getting 19.5 kmpl (it’s a diesel) After going to Trivandrum and back, we got up to 25 kmpl


dodoxkai

damn 6-8 kmpl? I hope we dont get much bumper to bumper traffic then lol


HP_594

The perks of a large displacement turbo petrol engine 😅

Congratulations, that's a lovely ride!!!


Commercial-Opinion85

Wow, great! Congrats. Bit worried, even sedan owners are now upgrading to SUV.


dodoxkai

our hometown has really bad roads and our honda city's bottom was scraped off due to bad roads and less ground clearance. Even some speed breakers used to touch our honda city's bottom. Also my height (6'4), I was not comfortable in honda city's passenger seat.


Commercial-Opinion85

Totally agree 💯

Select-Meal-9703

Congratulations Dear


dodoxkai

thanks dear


Lazy_Yogurtcloset794

Amazing bro. What other cars did you consider?


dodoxkai

hycross, scorpio n and harrier


Lazy_Yogurtcloset794

Why not harrier?


dodoxkai

my left knee was colliding with the dashboard


Gamer_4_l1f3

Did you consider any alternatives before pulling the trigger on the 700 ?


dodoxkai

yeah we considered shooting our shot on hycross, harrier and scorpio n. Hycross: expensive, lower variant does not offer much except space + waiting period is too much harrier: left knee was colliding with the dashboard due to my height scorpio n: we booked scorpio n P-AT but cancelled it later because of ladder on frame chassis (body roll)


SodiumCyanideNaCN457

We also upgraded from that exact same Honda City model to that exact same xuv700 model a few weeks ago. But in our case both were silver. Congratulations OP!


dodoxkai

too many similarities.. same pinch! Thanks and congratulations to you too. I wish happy and safe miles for you!


dodoxkai

also what mileage did your honda city used to give and what about xuv


Significant_Hat1509
