no la, my personal experienced with socar passat basic spec car. was very quiet, additive GB and better sound system than my accord (even though with factory subwoofer).
but did not want to take the risk with its reliability

I almost wanted to trade in my Accord to get a Passat during one of VW promo, didn't get it because the model i wanted wasn't available.
Anyway looking for a 2-door car now... 3 sedans are enough. laugh.gif

I wouldn't do that if i were you  laugh.gif i'm keeping the Accord until it dies because it's very comforting to know that there is something reliable lying around.

Go get a mint condition used 2018 F20 from BMW Premium Selection. I bought it last November. It is super fun to drive with when the Mrs is not around in the car with you  devil.gif

No chance of the Accord dying a natural death as long as replacement parts are available.
Even my 14 yrs old Civic also going strong.

Gonna try to convince my GF to get the car I want brows.gif icon_idea.gif tongue.gif
since she wanna replace her tired old ride

to be honest, i find the adaptation of the Civic design language on the Accord very distastefully done. As a matter of fact, I find the Insight to be a more appropriate design replacement for the Accord.

It just translates to be a bit more, mature. Very Accord-like.

QUOTE(mupanto @ Mar 28 2019, 11:24 AM)
In term of design...
9th gen accord is the best
same goes to civic which 8th gen still the best civic

But in the end...time after time Honda still hold the best cockpit compared to others Japanese

look at new Vios (Zzzz)
*
It depends on the target age group in my opinion... and Honda main market is the US.

My friends and colleagues in their late 30s and those in their 40s like design from Nissan puke.gif and the older Toyotas puke.gif
Those in their 20s and early 30s prefer more modern looking design like those from Hondas

Anyway, finally it depends on individual preference... and for sure manufacturers target the majority.

Reliability no issue.

It is the NVH and ride quality that need improvement.

Personally, firm ride quality ok for me... don't like sampan feeling.
NVH of course need improvement for H entire range

hello folks, need some opinions, my car is 4.5 years old now, 79k on the odo. by next service my car will be out of warranty, plus SA has advised that it will be considered the 100k service involving spark plug change and alternator belt. seems a little premature to change those given my lower than usual mileage, and correct me if i'm wrong, i don't think honda will give me a choice to skip the change of those 2 items. so the question is really if i should continue going to Honda SC, since the warranty will be over. if i do decide to service outside, do you guys have any recommended shops to service our accords reliably in the subang area? thanks.
*
Spark plug should be still good... probably 200,000 k also can. Alternator belt you do need to change.


QUOTE(ayamxxx @ Aug 21 2019, 08:34 PM)
I just same situation like yours. And i opted for outside service. Parts were bought at hingan auto parts and change it at workshop.

100k mine was done at sc since during that time it is still under warranty. A bit expensive for price but for warranty purpose have to done it.

So far I have claim twice driveshaft under warranty due to leaking. I have a feeling parts by honda quality is worse long time ago, possibly due to made in Thailand parts. I am not sure if it correct
*
driveshafts should be Made in Melaka, Malaysia... Honda regional CV joint factory is in Melaka.
Honda accord i think have well known driveshaft weaknesss.... mine also leaking.
But my Honda Civic, already 14 years old, no problem. Also from Melaka Honda factory.

Hi guys,
After few years of usage, my 9th gen accord head lamp look dated.

I believe the original head lamp is expensive, couple thousand i heard.

Any idea where to get OEM head lamp ?  price ?

yes, yellowish...polish how much ?  can last how long normally ?

sorry asking many question cause i never polish lamp before.,lol
*
Buy polish yourself and DIY... that's what I do.
Aeon & Tesco also got sell headlamp polish.

How long last depends you park under sun a lot or under shade.
Under sun, mine last about 2 months max, if under shade up to a year before i need to re-polish.

I'm looking for a UV protective clear coat, but so far don't see it sold anywhere... even Ace hardware also don't have
The yellowing is due to the UV attacking the plastic

QUOTE(ayamxxx @ Sep 11 2019, 03:17 PM)
can DIY la uncle.
but those meguiars headlamp polish from ace hardware.

if lazy buy also those polish machine to perform it.

or else go to a reputable auto detailer, iinm cost about rm80-100 per treatment
*
Come to my house, I do it for RM 50... laugh.gif
If cannot improve, no need to pay anything.

after polish is done, need to spray this protective coat, then can sustain from yellowish effect. iinm saw on in ace hardware publika this spray
*
Yes, and also car out from factory, the headlamp has the coating... but if you sent car for polishing, most likely those detailing or car wash fellow will also run over the headlamp with their orbital and remove the protective coating if they don't mask it off.

That price already good. 2.4 at honda city price. Really worth it. But many I believe interested but cant afford the fuel cost. So they end up with new city.
*
Don't forget the road tax of a 2.4L vs 1.5L. Way different.

However, re those people complaining about fuel cost the same people you usually see hanging out at Starbucks and bobatea outlets ? rclxs0.gif

Hi guys,

Do you know how to reset the dashboard lights?
Currently my power steering, vsa abs lights lid up.
Since I don't faced any problem, I think this is due because I'm servicing my car not with Honda SC. I assume Honda SC will reset the indicators after servicing the car.

The lights keeps turning on and off several times.
Appreciate your advise how to reset this. Many thanks.[attachmentid=10386064]

Mine is 8th gen, i can reset by jumping pin 4 and pin 9 on the OBD2 connector and pressing the brake pedal
Youtube has the procedure, if you search for it. Not sure will work for you.

Yeah... had the same problem

Is this a common problem for accord?
How much does it cost to change the parts? Thanks.

My Accord 5th year, had same faulty lights. Replaced with a recond ABS unit - RM2.5k!
*
Wow... freaking expensive.

QUOTE(BayuDroidz @ Jan 3 2020, 08:33 AM)
I thought few people faced this problem until I found a petition on this.

https://www.change.org/p/honda-malaysia-hon...abs-modulator/c

This is unacceptable. I already signed the petition and now I want to complaint directly to Honda Japan.

Anyone who faced this problem, please sign the petition to get Honda Malaysia to replace our parts at no cost!

Too bad i don't think they will entertain for my model.

Got my car ABS modulator fixed there and voila! My issue is solved!
Great guy to deal with and have vast experience in fixing cars.
BTW, he owns an accord too so he knows our issues.

Got it repaired at RM 1300 with a 6 months warranty!

Does he sell a recon ABS modulator also ?

I'm thinking of buying a replacement and taking apart my failed unit to see what's wrong.

Hi guys,

normally how long our accord battery can last ?

i use varta brand.
*
~ 1.5 to 2.5 years for me.

Nowadays I use a battery charger to keep it topped up once a while.. like 1x every 1-2 months.
Still monitoring if it will helps extend the life of batteries
Currently i have 2 cars with battery age at 1.5 yrs and 1.25 yrs respectively.

Also using non-maintenance free batteries seem to last longer regardless of the brand.

Our issue is all minor issue except the ABS. 9/9.5 will be the last generation with least issue i guess?

Unlikely... don't you feel the older generations are more reliable ?
