I am satisfied with the Creep Assist. Been driving the car for a year..so fast. Next week sending in for 20,000km service.

Overall I'd rate it 8.5/10.  I don't quite like the stock Bridgestone tires, too bumpy/hard. On uneven road can really send vibrations into the car. Sound proof a bit poor though.

Everything else is just ...lovely. Nice handling and responsive chassis.  Sporty 16" rim. HID friendly lights. Futuristic dashboard, it just feels good after getting into the car, I'll spend some time enjoy the dashboard, aircon and speedo, never got bored with the view. Good FC, 90 City 10 Highway driving, average 500km per tank. I am satisfied.

being a michelin fan, i share your same sentiments too : bridgestone tires name should be named brickstone tires instead.

however, after several trials with the tyre pressure, i have this suggestion to share :

1. please invest in a digital tyre pressure gauge.

2. the receommended tire pressure (as indicated) at the door panel is something like 32psi front and 31psi rear (if im not mistaken). the difference between rear and front is 1 psi.

3. i have tried several tyre pressure but the following pressure is so far, the best. not too hard and not too soft. soft bump on rough roads.

here goes:

during morning (cold tyres)

front: 29psi
rear : 28psi

after day drive (hot tyres)

front : 30psi
rear : 29psi.

actually, when u checked the pressure in the morning, and after a few miles drive, the temperature will increase correspondingly for each tyre about 1psi. so, its a matter of checking the tyre during hot to ensure that both rear and front (increased uniformly) and right and left tyres have the same pressure.


try it.

i used my own personal proxy service provider to get the emblem tho due to i have quite some stuffs i ordered with him from Japan. I can't remember which seller i did order from but i think it was generally safe for rakuten as i have ordered various stuff from them. but to get a modulo grill from japan, its going to cost a lot! why not try taiwanese websites?

would like that very much. But if its due to that then all insights must be affected, right? Anyway, if problem solved, then i will be a very happy insighter

Not all affected. Maybe due to production/assembly variation and tolerance. Mine also not immediately whistle came out from dealer. And the sound/whistle was rather faint, u really need to turn off the audio and focus.

Somehow mine getting more prominent whistling sound after i clean the rubber seal and adjust the bonnet stopper (right & left near headlamps) to get better bonnet closure.

Attached is my solution. ideally u can get a strip of rubber, a few mm thick and attach it on the bonnet top end, inner side (overlap/ near original rubber seal on the plastic garnish). I basically cut a strip of rubber sponge (usually used to insulate aircond piping) and super-glued them to the left and right side of the bonnet (1/3 each). The center part (the other 1/3), i used a strip of flat rubber and create a flange to prevent oncoming air to cycle and whistle in the gap, while at the same time have enough gap to let water seeps through (e.g when washing the car).

The result, 100% silent. thumbup.gif

Thanks, great Insighter you are. Will DIY this weekend and see how. The more I think about this problem, the more interesting the CRZ becomes. Saw one in smoke grey the other day and it was really hot

My dashboard is ok. But I realised my fron window is a too loose when they are rolled half way down. The windows shake (vibrate) very bad when close the door.

Anyone else encounter this? or is it just me? should I claim warranty to have the rubber lining changed?

Just done my 2nd service few days ago. Since im outstation without bringing the car, so my father took it to service center.
After that he told me the sc charged him rm26+ for the oil filter. I thought the 1st three service is totally free?

@demonxyz

May I know which Honda SC extra charge you on this during first 3 services? When I go service for first three times and I do not need to pay anything. Some owner do need to pay extra stuff. If getting the fully syn oil then just pay extra as normally we get the semi syn engine oil, but paying extra like oil filter which suppose is include on the service maintainence to me is uninformed.

Doesn't understand different service centre have different policy. It is so wired since all are under the authorised Honda service centre.

Have a read, it talks about honda's built in maintenance reminder.
And more importantly, based on this, our actual service maintenance should be much lower.

This is honda's built in feature, and it should be supported by honda themselves... however, I reckon if follow this, I should still be in my 2nd service, instead of my 4th service now! 50% service reduction~

http://www.curryhondaga.com/honda-maintena...-atlanta-ga.htm

What do you guys think? Should we highlight this and bring up to the service center? If they say will void warranty, can we legally challenge their claim of warranty void? Since we're just following the function that's made by honda to help us save cost, and save the environment too.

Apparently, the US people use this service reminder to do their services...
