wrong again? that chart must only refer to models released in whatever SE asia or whatever country that is from

the second generation city GA1 + GA2 was produced 86-94

you can also refer to the links to old school hondas on the honda worldwide website

my gf had that model of city the silver one lol

absolute shit fight to fix and get parts for, celebrated when it got written off lol

also thai factories punching out panels do the exact same job as the jap ones, plus faster shipping, which means parts are getting cheaper, which is good for the general public

did take Honda 2yrs to get the stardards up to par with Jap, but now I can see in the coming yrs bugger all coming from Japan in terms of body work from Honda Co....

can someone explain to me how the fuel lid works?

i understand it is locked when the engine is off but what about when you are stopping at a traffic like, or just idling?

thanks

its open, when u open the car u can open it, when u lock the car u can lock it. It runs through the central locking system. nothing to do with engine being on or off.

Modulo City in all its glory

it looks better in the flesh. i'll take some pics when i can be bothered

Saw a Modulo spec in the showroom at Southside Honda (Brisbane) earlier this morning, they're much bigger than they look in pictures. Back seat looks quite cramped though....
