Which showroom did you get your car from? That's pretty fast in terms of delivery but discount-wise I have heard better offers elsewhere.

As for the tint, probably the cheapest so far for 3M Crystalline. Which 3M branch in this? But keeping the warranty card for you is very dodgy and I don't recommend it. They may be selling you other tints but claiming to be 3M Crystalline. I have heard of such cases before.

Can vouch for this based on past experience. Being noisy is one thing, but the wet grip is practically non-existent! Can't count how many times I've been subjected to unintentional drifting whenever the road is wet. Shame on Honda for putting such unsafe tyres on their cars.

Australian don't earn Ringgit Malaysia. If you want to compare in this manner, at least compare within the proper context.

Malaysian Graduate Starting Pay = RM1800
Honda Civic 2012 (Basic 1.8cc model) = RM116K

Australia Graduate Starting Pay in RM = RM4000
Honda Civic 2012 in Australia (Basic VTI model) = RM83K

I take it this is suppose to be a feature of the car?
I don't think this is present in the FD model.

Lol I was really enquiring bro because the 8th Gen don't have this function. If it's really an intended feature then I suppose there's no harm unlocking the doors from the inside without pressing the button.

I could hear excessive wind noise coming from the driver's side around the top of the window's seal. Very annoying and noticeable even if I turn up the volume for the radio.

Strange. The wind noise starts getting very loud once the speed goes above 90km/h just on the driver's side windows. No such issue from the passenger side.

If it affects more than one car, it's definitely an assembly/part issue already. I think the problem lies with the seal at the upper part of the driver's side window. If you would to open the windows slightly when the noise is there, you will notice the noise is changing. It's as if the windows is not sealed tightly. Perhaps you could check and confirm this.

Further, the noise is only apparent when you drive above 90-100km/h, so it may be not apparent to most people yet since I suspect everyone is still breaking in their cars and keeping their speed low.

I agree the noise is really spoiling the experience of driving the car. Are you certain that Honda Malaysia is aware of this issue? Are they coming out with a fix?

I noticed a very obvious idle vibration coming from the car. I can feel the vibration on the driver's seat (especially the head rest), the driver's side door panel and even the middle arm rest.

It's always there no matter whether the engine was warmed up or not, gear in "P" or "N", air-con on or off. I compared it with a 5 years old Civic 8th Gen and the vibration was worst off in my 1-month old 9th Gen.

Did any of you guys notice it as well?

^I only noticed a strong idle vibration from the car in general. Can feel it in the following areas:-

1. Driver's door panel
2. Driver's seat
3. Arm rest
4. Pedal

It's not really obvious when you're moving but when the car is stationary, you can feel it.

Bro, was talking about the idle vibration not noise level
Noise-wise the engine is definitely not noisy but once you have started the engine, I can feel the parts mentioned above "shaking" when the car is stationary.

Every time I start the car, I noticed there's a "Click-Clack" sound coming from around the glove box. It happens as soon as the engine is being started.

Did any of you get it?

1.8cc. Does it matter which cc is it?

You're facing the same issue as well?

Ok, I manage to record the sound on video, this may give you guys a better idea. Check out the clicking sound at the 12-second mark.

Sure normal bro? It's kinda loud and I have never heard this in any other cars before
It happened exactly the same way in your Civic as well?
