Honda
Previously great in Design but now ugly, mostly at all
FB (facelist 2014) vs Altis 2014 (Honda kalah teruk)
Dual VVTi + Twin Cam (Better performance) but iVTec (single cam with eco mode performance like myvi)
Old man design
backward technology (twin cam to single cam)
Spacious boot & legroom in FD but no more in FB
Low end plastic material in FB
Please dont simply say civic 'kalah teruk'. Polite if you just say altis 2014 is more beauty than civic fb (with your eyes). Look like u are fb most haters. I dont know y?
Ivtec like Myvi? I think you already knew that FB torque&hp more powerful than FD. Please dont compare sohc 2012 technology with Dohc 2004 techology ya.
Check my previous posted, cabin wise - FB more spacious than FD. It's fact.
'Man maximum, Machine minimum'- Honda philosophy for current model. Same goes for new accord, exterior dimension is less than it predecessor but more roomier than it predecessor.
'Man maximum, Machine minimum'I still dont understand why u say FB come with low end material? Everybody know, look cheap and low end material is FD then FB it slightly better (improvement) but still not good.

Later on, Honda Msia launched Civic Gen 8 (end 2005)
I dont buy bcoz it is Honda
End 2009 again new FL
I started to follow up on this model until 2012, I heard All new ll be in Msia
So, I was waiting for new FB
Until get to know Thailand launched FB
I read many news on failure, recall of FB
Finally, as conclusion, FB
1) Ugly look (front City & rear Persona)
2) Very tall (sport car always low)
3) cheap deskboard (low material)
4) small boot like city
5) rear passanger (small size) always knock th head to enter
6) Single cam
When i hear your story on the problem, I don't feel shock
FB recall in many countries like US, shut down plant in India
Mostly Civic fan ll be waiting for Gen 10 to launch as Gen 9 many issue
I finally bought last unit of Gen 8 FL on 2012, hehehe
resll is good but Handling can't compete with mazda
Comfort can't compete with Altis
but design of Gen8 FL is great, that is the reason i buy
As FB haters, I understand.

Actually I wanted to wait for fresh Gen 9 (FB) bcoz Gen 8 (launched end 2005), many years
When Thailand launched (I shock to see City Head & Persona Tail), I then decided to get Gen 8 FL
At that moment Sept 2012, many people still place an order for Gen 8 FL
Culturally, end of life cycle should be huge discount (like CRV RM13K off, Altis RM12K off)
Gen 8 FL, 0 discount
In fact we are Not sure can get it or not bcoz many people still asking for Gen8 (due to Thailand website of Gen 9)
I drive Gen8FL for about a year (done, below 19,000km)
Everytime I send to SC, many Honda staffs, including SA was offering to buy
According to SA, the demands for Gen8FL is very hot & hard to sell FB (failure in demands)
Sorry, not intent to insult FB users, but this is what happened
Are you joking?
