is the metallic grey same with honda 1.8/2.0?

anyway, for civic hybrid... the white is white orchid pearl and not taffate white like for city, civic 1.8/2.0 right? correct me if i am wrong... i just saw that in the honda website

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.

instead of getting a cheaper ride... why not look for value for money?

bro really thanks a lot for your reply...

for Q1, i do heard that when switch to S mode, the engine wont auto stop anymore.. my concern not only wear and tear of the car engine, but the slightly vibrating of cabin when the engine restart... it do happen on a merz c200 (don't bash me out of topic, but just sharing what i experience)

as for Q4, meaning to say in order for the engine auto stop at traffic light, my leg cannot have a rest by releasing the pedal? in short, the auto stop will only reading the brake pedal signal and not the gear, right

thanks for your input blue hammer...

as for Q2, are you try to mean switch into S with the gear? sorry i not really understand that

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?

i know i sounds really noob

well... i don't think the car will be underpower as it generate the torque which equivalent to 1.8s based on the fact sheel... guess will just off econ button... hahaha

hey bro, many thanks... will go for civic hybrid soon... gonna ask is it the metallic grey available for the hybrid...

emble change colour by itself??

wow... thanks a lot for your feedback... hybrid does come with HSA (hill start assist) which 1.8 and 2.0 don't have...
for me, i guess hybrid is just lose on the top speed part...

anyway, confirmed metallic grey is available for civic hybrid...

and whoever interested to buy a civic hybrid, please act now !!! start 1/1/14, there will be no more tax exemption on the hybrid car and it will easily cost 30k extra for this car... a revised tax exemption will be announced by end or mid of Jan14 on the NAP policy... hopefully it won't delay again... if my prediction is right, there will be a slightly hike on tax in hybrid car due to the fast adaption of hybrid car in malaysia market and petrol price issue in malaysia...

u can see our gov really "hungry" now.... everyone receive their cukai tanah letter d right? so i don't think tax exemption will brought forward to jan14...

just my RM0.02...

do you guys civic hybrid come with this?

Is this come in stock car or aftermarket ?

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?

ok then i can temporary save the RM300+ hahaha...
bro bluehammer, did u install body kit on your HCH? i plan to install modulo kit... but afraid white orchid pearl color hard to get...

why u want to take off your modulo body kit?

thanks bro shorty...
i will drop by your shop very soon once i get my car...
do you have the DRL which come with fog lamp cover? i feel install outside a bit odd IMO

hi bro mirage, thanks for your sharing...
will you have difficulty in fully stepping your brake pedal?
i will put in a 3rd party car mat inside also ... this is really my concern...

oic... i have the same thought as you... perhaps maybe u can put in sell garage try your luck
i also plan to keep the duck tail...

mind to share how much rebate you getting?

2 weeks was damn fast ! i thought CBU car will take longer

hmm glad to hear that... guess it will still be part of my plan...

by the way, white orchid pearl hardly find those bodykits which already ready sprayed and we need to send it to paint shop? i found that the tafette white can find those bodykit already spray with paint, just pnp at the shop

and 1 more thing, do you guys know where can we get the fog lamp cover which can plug in the phillips DRL on it?

i found there are some chine fog lamp cover with the in built DRL, but i have nightmare with china LED previously so dowan try it anymore... personally feel the most of the civic install the DRL dangling at the front grill seems a bit odd for me
