Ya definitely will test drive first b4 making any decision...

At this moment, falling deep in love with cr z with mugen body kit...

U guys think will there be big difference btw sohc and dohc?

Just test drive the CVT model with my friend (whom currently owns FD2) at Global Amity, Serdang last Friday. Confirmed interior is all black. My friend full throttle the car with 3 adults inside (me in the rear seats, a bit suffering thou.. hahaha).
Low rev acceleration (in Sports mode) is better than FD2 but mid to high-rev his FD2 is better. Note that his FD2 was modded with aftermarket headers, dropin filter, CF hood and bucket seats.

I believe stock 6MT CRZ should be on par with stock FD2, if not better.

Yes, must test drive and feel it yourself, found out quite some FD owners here too huh...

Do you guys know any penang showroom got display car or test drive? for the cvt version

You got pm.

I can sense alot of doubts here. Haha, since my family members own both vehicle, maybe I can give an opinion or two.

1) First of all, Civic 2.0 has 155ps, not 145. It might have a slightly higher torque than CR-Z but also heavier in weight. I think around 80kg and more. For pick up CR-Z will win due to its lighter-weight and aerodynamic body shape, and also assistance from IMA (that is, if it's charged and run on Sport mode). But when it comes to mid-high acceleration Civic still win. And more stable too.

2) 5 seater or 2 seater? Well, just imagine this scenario: You have 5 family members, do you prefer to drive 2 CR-Z out for dinner (with 1 guy suffering from the tight seat) or just 1 Civic with all members on board? Do bear in mind that no matter how fuel-efficiency CR-Z is, it still doesn't beat 2 trips of fuel consumption.

3) Interior wise, CR-Z also adapted the futuristic design like Civic and Insight, with the digital display and stuffs. The seats are tight, might be tiring for long journey compare to Civic's comfy seats.

Change from Civic to CR-Z might not be considered as downgrade in terms of pricing and technology features, but you get a smaller car with smaller engine capacity, smaller seats (minus rear passenger seats too), smaller fuel tank, and small presence.

Better go test drive before regret! Try the Glenmarie Honda, I tested over there before.

Hey guys, my SA said that he's giving me 2 choices with the tinting. Either RayTech Security Film (4mill and 70% IR i think) or Llumar (5mill and 78% IR). What do you guys think about both the brands? and which should i choose? :/

Of course go for higher IR %. 5mill is thicker but should be ok, 6mill could damage ur power window in the long run. But I guess have more choice if you willing to top up.

Oh, thanks for the feedback I know, but what worries me is the brand, like some people say one brand is better than the other even if the features are the same.

my only complain about the cr-z is the stock tyre on CVT, Bridgestone Potenza RE05A.. its really noisy, save up cash change these should be more comfortable..

thanks a lot bro, for ur kind advise and sharing here...it did helps a lot...

u r right i m currently in deep dilemma over this...

mine is civic fd1 = 145hp....current wan only 155hp...........correct if i m wrong...

Agreed on this point no extra cash so wait until tyre wear off then change lah

Those who wants test drive, Global Amity has both variants with full Mugen Kits.

I driving FD2... But I tested both CVT and 6MT CRZ though, so I can give thoughts if someone wanted. (And also new Civic FB)

Envy you guys though... RM12K for Rotrex supercharger anyone?

uhhh agree to disagree? i fetch some of my petite colleagues out for lunch "within 5km radius" and they are even complaining...they are all below 160cm

So that was your Storm Silver CRZ...hehehe...


IMHO, CRZ hybrid la...FD2 better...hahahah

Yeah, that's mine. Which is urs? Saw another few Zs there also

of course fd2 is better le....TYPE R ma.....

My friend just told me that CRZ cvt can FC can go up to 1,000 km on full tank....

I told him that according to forum, where most are driving on sports mode, it can't be getting that good fc... but he insists.... sports mode can go up to 1,000km... haha...

I saw LE60 at boulevard hotel, lyn forummer?

Nice white crz!!!

1000km?? I doubt that. Manual can reach 500-600km
