Not true, my home has Almera and the new City. Over 100,000km, the City cost much less to service, not to mention far less problem than Almera. This is both service at official service center.

At 100,000km, my Almera has changed all the wheel bearing, radiator fan, ac cooling coil, HU, absorber, while the City just claimed warranty for faulty left side mirror.

You can consider Michelin XM2, or u upgrade to 195/60/15r. Im using Goodyear Triplemax. Just make sure u dont get Hankook kinergy.

I heard overall only the most expensive premiums ventus v12 or those on VW Tiguan are good. Kinergy is the cheapest.
Low rolling resistance, long milage, comfort type, noise acceptable, so so grip similar to cc5. Wet is horrid! Dont even think u can get any grip if u brake hard. Well lucky I had it for my rear, even at the rear I can feel it not gripping.
Not much wear compared with the GY ATM(assurance triplemax) at the front. Since I got GY ATM mths after Kinergy. Kinergy still looks new.
Hankook Kinergy H308 195/60/15r bought late January 2017. GY ATM 195/60/15r bought early June 2017

I cant really tell. Cause petrol claim company, so i dont keep track. its really negligible, sure more but i go through highway alot. its just that you might drive with a bit more spirit and since you have more grip, you actually can feel that you need to press a bit compared to the free rolling/low resistance from the stock CC5. if you actually tried let go of the accelerator, CC5 will roll like car on neutral gear. While this GY ATM you can actually feel the car slow down, something like mild engine braking.
You planning to change the tires?

Warm up very important, but for completely warm up, it take more than 3 mins.

Almera don't have the signal (usually blue colour).
But Honda yes. Got to wait until the signal disappear then only recommended to drive.

Not really. Its almost the same. FC is a bit more but negligible.  Grip is better but depend on what brand u buy and how much air u pump.

Its not that, like lunacy said, 185/65 is hard to find with limited choices. Unless u r going for 195/60 185/60. Plus in most cases the 60' series are cheaper. XM2 are good all around tires durable abit louder than my GY TMA. I got my review in the tires forum.

I just changed last month to Michelin xm2 195/60/15 rm220 .I feel better grip compared to default conti & so far so good .

Hey look, new seller. I not sure if its really TC or some reseller. Looks legit, but im sceptical about the engine oil.

Very sensitive/ thin tolerance for spares (Tried replacing the AC filter with 3rd party, end up the filter flow rate is insufficient and causing the cooling coil to frooze. The same goes to engine air filter. Tried 3rd party stuff, end up engine no power)

Hi, you can get u answer here

TC selling RM74.20/pcs incl gst.
Not yet incl workmanship.

I buy from shopee..rm35

My driving - 90% Penang City mostly Bayan Lepas area - 8.8 - 9.2 l/100km.
I reset it every time I refill my tank (full).

eccs dianogse was 15K ago, not at TC but outside.

every 10KM I change the oil filter, 0-20W full sync oil, etc as per needed.

Any idea why so high as mention?

Thank you.

The workmanship is included with the Lubrication service (EO change) if u go SC and service. Of course if you only change the air filter, it takes max 2min like a pro 
Maybe import from Thailand cost more. The new TC logo could be manufactured locally and its cheaper too.
