Just ignore and reject this 2012 Civic. Its totally crap to me and many ppl worldwide. The Malaysian version of the new Civic will launch locally in the 2nd half of the year. The main reason for this is to push off old stock before the new facelift arrives. Those who dont know will rush to buy the Civic without realising that in 2013 the facelift will arrive in Malaysia. This would mean big loss of resale value for those who buy the 1st gen 2012 model. So please dont fall for this trap!

Honda planning 2012 Civic facelift after only 8 months after worldwide criticisms
Current version criticized for deficiencies in design, quality, drivability & poor braking

By Tom Krisher

ROMULUS, Mich. — Honda is scrambling to revamp its Civic just eight months after a new version hit showrooms, and critics say it’s an admission that the compact car fell short in quality and handling.

The facelift, to come by the end of 2012, is rare because new models aren’t usually overhauled for at least three years. Honda executives say they are trying to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive small-car market.

The new Civic was panned by critics when it started arriving at dealerships on April 20. Consumer Reports magazine said the new Civic was less agile than its predecessor, and its interior quality was worse. The magazine refused to give the Civic its coveted “Recommended Buy” rating, saying that the braking distances were long and it suffered from a choppy ride. The car’s sales dropped to fourth among U.S. compacts from May through November. 

The previous Civic, which came out in 2005, was known for its sporty driving, high-quality interiors, lack of noise and excellent braking, said David Champion, senior director of auto testing for Consumer Reports. “The new one seems to have fallen apart in those areas,” said Champion, who thinks that Honda cut costs with the 2012 version.

Honda also recalled more than 1,000 of the 2012 Civics because a fuel line could leak as a result of a manufacturing error.

Honda has told dealers that a reworked Civic will arrive before the end of this year. The car’s sticker price starts around $16,000, and a base model with automatic transmission gets 32 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving. Its price and fuel mileage are about the same as its competitors.

American Honda President Tetsuo Iwamura said yesterday that the company will improve the Civic’s drivability, but he stopped short of saying exactly what the company will do to the rest of the car.

assuming if you have 130k budget...will you buy a civic ?

i thought korean make rubbish car... especially kia

Volkswagen Golf Tsi Fast,or Honda civic 2.0s fast?

2.0s senang aku naik 150km/h tadi ni...

1st service i believe they didnt replace the m-oil...
So dun expect much. I think they just do general checking on 1000km

Emmm....10.6km/l is really makan minyak le ......

Just try to get a KIA forte 2010 and go to car dealer,and a Honda civic 2010 to a car dealer,see how much you can get from them and don't talk about the selling prices of the dealer.
They take ur car very low,not how much ur car can sell. get what i mean?
KIA is unfamous eventhough KIA optima is a very nice car,but the value is still worse,just go and compare with Toyota Camry.
I can buy Honda and Toyota without test drive it,But KIA,i don think i will buy bcoz of the resale value.
If you dont agree with me,then you go ahead with ur KIA. Here is HONDA CIVIC Thread.
Thanks

well if jazz can do 21km, why can't civic do it?

i dunno lah. i dunno how car manufacturers can put these figures or get these figures. we need real life numbers or a database of people putting their figures online

to be honest i dont really check my milage or fuel consumption etc etc. i mean not in figures. my driving distances are pretty much routine. so i know what the appropriate ringgit cost per distance i drive. it is easy to realise something is wrong by just checking my petrol payments or refuelling intervals. and for the econ button? i never fail NOT to push it. haha.
the cruise control works well. so far so good the civic.

haha i know...but 5 yrs warranty unlimited mileage..i guess dun care bout it too much..haha

First of all,camry is not for u to race,i don think Safety is important for me

Going for tint tomorrow. Huperoptic.quoted 2300+
For the whole car. Never use this tint before. Anyone care to share?

I have no idea..how to check whether its UV glass or not?

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

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