Is it normal to encounter problem with Excise Duty ? Now, it is solved but was told having problem with JPJ side ? Is that so ?

Sir, my excise duty was cleared yesterday morning. Then, was told waiting for K1 from Honda Malaysia. This morning only send to JPJ for registeration. That also I probed and asked then only told me JPJ got problem since 31/7 ? Not sure to believe anymore or not.

Where's the person who started the poll of Civics booked ? Looks like the numbers have gone up since. Today's the D day for my case. Thanks.

Bro,
i would think it is easier and convenient to just continue here rather then creating another thread just for the numbers sake. What do you think ? Thanks.

Finally reporting in. As for NVH, my 1.8 is much quieter than FD model as tried before. All the wheel arch are fully covered this time round. Suspensions are much more comfortable than FDs. Cornering is good too due to shorter wheel base where the FDs had problem for its rear wheel to catch up with the front wheel due to longer wheel base. I feel that this FB drives almost like the Accord 7th Gen. just to share, the 8th Gen Accord is a let down as compares to the 7th Gen Accord. For those who mentioned that NVH for new 2.0 is loud on highway could be due to PS3 tyres. Just like the current facelifted Accord is much quieter than the pre facelift model.

Thanks civic2012. Drive slow.

We find that our Civic 1.8 is pretty quiet using GY NCT5. I owned Altis before to compare here. Thanks.

You are at the right place I believe.

Cheers mate. I am enjoying my ride. It has been a long time since I own a ride that I like so much and happy with.

Thanks mate for the head up. What other good tyres to get other than CC5 ? Thanks.

On ECON mode, MID shows 13km/l on the average in city use. Thanks.

Congrats to Bros and Sis who have just gotten their new Civics. Enjoy your ride. My mileage now stands at 535km edy. Never regret and never listen to those negative comments and decided to take the plunge for it. Thanks.

Does our Civic come with Traction Control and speed sensitive control power steering ? Read the manual but it doesn't say anything of them. Thanks.

Thanks guys for your replies on TC and EPS system.

Did my first service for my Civic. Checked with SC about EO. Was told that our car already had engine run in at the plant. There after at the plant, the EO is drained and new EO poured in before our Civics leave the plant. Therefore, no requirement to change at 1000km service. Thanks.

Added on August 18, 2012, 7:57 amHad my wheel alignment done at SC. Readjusted my boot as before there was a spring noise each time I closed the boot. Noticed that the SC switched off my ECON mode when test driving my Civic for alignment purpose. My guess is that the tester likes to drive fast in my new Civic. Other than everything is fine. Hissing noise is from the aircon compressor.

My IMiD reading crusing at legal speed showed 16.5km/l over long distance drives.
I fully embraced the coming AES cameras. 1.8 is good enough for me. Just need something with strong reliability and good space for the family use. And, must have VSA.

My mileage already 2200km got the car later than you. Travelled for 4 hours with 80km/h just now with ECON. IMiD showed 18.6km/l. 36.9L for 670.xxKM in total. What is HAMP by the way ? Thanks.

Road conditions contribute significantly to the NVH level in the cars regardless which Brands of tyres you used.

I am a happy owner of 1.8S. No complain thus far after 3000KMs. I am ok with the power as I have owned something much more than that prior. Thanks.

With the Honda, many ways of doing it. I have no doubt with them. Check out CRZ track run with AE86 in Japan. Wonder sight of it. Thanks.
