My 5th gen Honda City CVT: Key issues faced in 15000km of ownership

On highway runs I had noted that even on highest setting headlight throw was poor

15000 km update Honda City ZX CVT:

Car had its ups and downs in last 15000kms, had to visit service centre due to multiple issues (will describe each briefly).

Roofliner rattling:

Three months into ownership was having rattling sound from roofliner and visited ASC three time to settle it. Finally last visit after stern warning they opened sunroof switchs and cabin light switches and filled it with foam. Finally no more sound from roof but left rear door i can hear some sounds.

Steering pull to the left side:

Last month car was in service centre for 10 days for same and they finally diagnosed it as subframe issue. I had to mail higher ups to get things done on time, after refitting subframe somehow issue has been resolved.

Poor headlight throw:

On highway runs I had noted that even on highest setting headlight throw was poor, visited ASC but they told there is nothing can be done to ZX LEDs. Tried DIY as suggested by fellow BHPian in forum and upon adjusting screws under bonnet can see much more better in nights.

First body paint work:

Car had accumulated minor dents and scratches on left fender and door, finally took the plunge and got it done under insurance. Whole process was smooth and colour match is perfect. Planning to get bumper changed within next month for dents and minor hole in bumper (some idiot bike fellow hit stationary vehicle from front)

I have started enjoying car more once roofliner rattling is gone and got some good contacts in local ASC due to recurrent visits. Now they pick my car free of cost and drop it back.
