I very satisfied with my HCH till now, just some time when raining day, I go in my car start the engine and switch on the aircon, the air blow out from aircon smell like shit, do u guy experience it? Just like wet cloth put in basket few day didn't wash smell......

Second thing, sound proof level still low if compare to Altis or Latio. Especially when driving on bad condition road, dam noisy.

So far my best fc I get is 21.8km/l half city drive half highway. About 9xxkm per tank......

Can change, just remind u the original rim is special design for our hybrid car. Very light weight. If u change other rim, u might cant get the same light weight rim. In our FB group, there is one member change his hybrid rim to BBS rim, which is only 6kg per pc and tat rim cost him almost 6K. together with the tyre.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
Btw, what does the light weight rim roles on the hybrid? just to get better mileage only right?

Thanks.

Not only better mileage but better speed up too. Once u change to other sport rim which is not light weight rim, u will feel like whole car become very heavy when car start moving from 0km/l.

Hi guys just suddenly found out Mugen kit on HCH...  brows.gif

The spoiler look so ugly on HCH. I still feel the original ducktail is the best for our HCH. 9 gen HC are look more to elegant and mature compare to 8 gen HC which is look more aggressive and youngster.

It is not easy to find 6.5kg per pc sport rim that suite our HCH. The original sport rim is super light weight, special for our HCH. Although i feel the original rim is ugly but i dont feel wan to spend few more thousand to change the rim...hehe... blush.gif

Just now i saw 1 HCH with CRZ rim on it... look very tim...
but the problem is CRZ is 16" Alloy Wheel with 195/55R16.. wonder will it effect fuel on HCH o nt...
didt took the overall look... here is the CRZ rim i had took
*
Both come from same Hybrid family, i think shud be not problem, but for sure it will effect a bit the FC. Btw, heard from my honda dealer, the new Hybrid come with reverse cam and bluetooth build in and handfree. Did any 1st batch HCH owner upgrade his HCH with those features?

i'm kinda make my mind to change from 1.8 to hybrid... but can all sifus help to answer few question in my mind as i find it really hard to find a test drive car for this civic hybrid.

1) when in a congested traffic, i noticed that put the gear on S will stop the engine from Auto Stop. Is is true? I am kinda afraid the auto Start/Stop will shorten the engine life span due to wear and tear.

2) is there any button to stop the Auto Stop function?

3) how many gears the CVT gearbox has for this civic hybrid?

4) if let's say i am at traffic light, i switch my gear to N, pull hand brake, leg lift off from the brake pedal. Will the Auto Stop function works? and how about the Air Con?

5) is the white orchid pearl colour for civic hybrid is different with taffete white applied of other range of honda cars? I'm gonna take this colour if i choose hybrid over 1.8.

6) civic hybrid now comes with reverse camera and handsfree bluetooth? Hell i don't know about that !
Any sifus, big bro who able to answer my question will be much appreciated. Please provide me your precious input. Thanks.  smile.gif

Some added on regnox replied.

2. There is no botton to switch on or off the auto stop function but u can choose to off using the steering manual setting botton.

4.The aircon won't switch off when the engine auto stop. New hybrid had recover the aircon autostop issue.

6. Yes. New civic come with bluetooth and reverse cam function.

actually i quite curious how is the S mode work, in 2.0s when u put at S mode, you will be controlling the gear with paddle shift...

as for hybrid, there is no paddle shift but an S mode at the gear position... so if i use the car go up genting, how should i control the gear?    hmm.gif

i know i sounds really noob  icon_question.gif
*
biggrin.gif There is nothing for u to play gear. I goes up genting few time and i just drive using D mode. Of cos i drive in a manner way but not aggressive way. If u feel the car is underpower, u can switch it to S mode any time to get extra speed up power.

somehow, with the civic hybrid... i am concern about the warranty..
to what extend it will void the wararnty and which will done?

the current mod on my list:

1) locktech
2) auto lock
3) fog lamp cover with DRL

as this 3 parts with touch on the electronic components... kinda dilemma, locktech is quite important for me... anyone did it?
*
U shud ask Honda service center or their warranty claim advisor. I didnt install any one of the above in my HCH. At 1st i tot wanna install locktech but then i get to know that without the remote key, the car cant start even though u manage to find the wire n bypass push start button wire. The engine need the ignition code sending from ur remote key only can start. Unless the thief use towing car to steal away ur car. If so, even u install locktech also he can steal ur car. blush.gif
