What year your car again ?
2009 - 2015 design, major cost control by CEO Takanobu Ito trying to beat Toyota profitability
For sure when cost is a factor, quality goes down.

Yeah, possible, CKD, local suppliers for many parts.

Yeah, 7th gen Accord quality is better, less parts failing prematurely.

At least with the new CEO Takahiro Hachigo, it looks like there is an improvement, starting with the Civic FC launched in 2016.
Feedback from friend with car accessories business, material quality much improved with the FC.
I see fender plastic also change and looks like the one used by Audi

The car is designed to use petrol as fuel
Of course can use those ethanol mix or convert to NGV also, but not best for the car.

Please don't use others like coal, diesel, kerosene, heavy fuel oil. confirm engine damage

Go to spare part shop and ask for Brembo brand brake rotor, the normal OEM type replacement, not the slotted race type (unless u wanna pay more).
My ex-Honda SC mechanic told me this is a proven solution.

SC cannot because they will replace with original part.

Mine didn't have any problems, so didn't change, but the mechanic told me if ever I have the problem, don't bother to change to original rotor

Go for used bro... only my 1st car was brand new because not familiar with cars and workshops.

My 2nd car was purchased used at 5 yrs old and is now 13 years old and still going strong.
My 3rd car was purchased at 8 years old and so far so good except for minor stuff that need fixing.

Yeah, would love to buy brand new, but unfortunately not rich enough.

H.City, Civic and Accord respectively

Plan to get continental cars already, Japs driving, interior and power just cannot compare with the contis
Drove BMW, VW and Audi, so much better... just not as reliable

My advise to you from own experience (on a Civic).. dun do it... it's an overpriced gimmick.
For my it interfered with the proper functioning of the suspension system as designed by the manufacturer

The bouncy effect got nothing to do with the stiff ring, the Accord suspension system was designed more for comfort.

If really want less bouncy, change to sports or adjustable suspension, but don't complaint later all interior parts loose and start to rattle

e.g my Civic is so noisy and rattle everywhere with the stiff ring, strut bars, anti-roll bars, adjustable suspension, etc ... the Accord is much more comfortable and quiet.

Have you tried the test of pushing each corner of the car down by hand, put your body weight into it when pushing down ?
It should easily return to the original height and you should not hear any weird sounds.

I assume you tried driving another owner Accord, same model ?
We are not sure if it's the car design, or just a problem with your car in particular.

To me the Accord has the stiffest suspension compared to Camry or Teana.
So it's the most stable of the 3.

I'm not sure exactly why, but my stock Accord takes corner better than my Civic which has all the bars, adjustable, etc

then you need to get Lexus, Merc, BMW, Audi or at least VW already

Eh... i misunderstand TS requirement then
Complain was bouncy and not hard / firm.
I thought he don't want the sampan feeling, which was bouncy , wobbly

To me I don't like the sampan feeling of Nissan / Toyota..
I prefer the Honda / BMW / Audi firmness

hmm.. but i think we will get the 2.0T... Honda is not as large as the other japs, their models more globally standardized.

Hmm.. cannot lah... will eat into their Civic and CR-V sales.
Of course my opinion only.

Since when the majority of Malaysian choose cars based on driving dynamics... we all here in Fast & Furious are biased of course

Maybe can argue between SUV and sedan... but Civic and Accord are both sedans, so they are the same market.
The Civic already using 1.5T, so if you launch an Accord 1.5T... it will need a price sweet spot (not too high, maybe 15-18K above the top spec Civic)

Most people i know also using SUV as a sedan... SUVs are basically sedan with higher seating position

I understand completely, those are the more technical explanations for us.

But considering people who are not into cars or those who don't care about segments, they don't differentiate that way. Just a demographic of the population

I know many who have moved from (note the 2 way arrows) B <--> C <--> D <--> SUV based on prices, looks, features, etc... not because it's a sedan or SUV or segment.

e.g a Honda City which has more space than a Toyota Camry.. so got people who effectively "downgraded" because the newer H. City was
"better" vs an older Toyota Camry based on his/her decision criteria that is more space oriented, and of course the price got a lot to do with it also.

e.g people who gave up their E segment 8th gen Accord for a C segment Civic because it looks better and has better response due to turbo, another who sold his <1 yr old Civic 1.5 TCP for the CR-V because it had Honda sensing

e.g an even funnier one, is someone who got the Vios because the older generation Altis and Camry had fugly fake wood interior which he just can't stand.

Taking corners is more about balls than type of cars... except for race drivers and maybe 1 crazy friend, I don't know of anyone else who willing to push the car cornering ability that much.

Yeah... my annual road tax cost is more than my annual service cost for my 2.0 and 2.4 cars

Yes, and my annual service cost is lower than that.... engine oil fully syn, filter, gearbox oil, other fluids that may need changing doesn't reach RM700

Honda Malaysia assembled CKD cars are known to have low quality parts, most parts are locally sourced anyway.
At least easy for you to claim.

Nope, unless like below.

Full throttle, engine hot, if your air-cond intake seal not so good then got smell i think....
You also get those exhaust smells in traffic or following behind buses and lorries ?

Yeah, hopefully 10th gen is better.
