Brand new vehicle gave me 50 kms in city. It dropped down to 40 kms after first service and stayed there till I reached 3000 kms.
After 3000 kms it gives only 30 to 33 kms. I service vehicle every 2500 kms or 3 months with dealer which ever comes earlier. You get the dream mileage 50 in the city just before first service.
Other vehicles mileage increases with service but with Honda Activa it decreases. I am one of the fools who went with the crowd to buy Honda Activa thinking Indian buyers are intelligent and they choose a reliable best mileage vehicle.
Handling and balance is good but shock absorbers are horrible on bad roads. This is serviced with Pratul Honda, Kondapur, Hyderabad.
On my fourth service, I changed oil pack but the mileage remains the same(33 kms) even before 5000 kms.
Update on Feb 11 2013 mileage 6000 kms: I tried driving very smoothly, maintain speed between 40 to 50 kms, gave another paid service to useless pratul Honda hyderabad, ride without pillion rider…etc etc it doesn’t give more than 33 KMPL. Final verdict is either Honda is useless or the dealer like pratul Honda kondapur is stealing parts in name of service or we are useless(public) doesn’t learn lesson sticking to Honda. Suddenly the dealer pratul Honda kondapur hyderabad went out of business without any notice.
One thing is sure that Honda is trying to make fool out of us.
