Honda has offered consumer choices for both types of personality traits. Proven old trusty 1.8 NA workhorse for the risk adverse, and a new high efficiency high power 1.5 turbo unit for consumers who appreciate leading edge technology.

No use arguing and trying to convince one to switch to another personality type. Your buying reflects what type or person you are wink.gif

Finally managed to collect the car. Time to refuel the Shell V Power Racing to test the real potential of the vehicle.

You are the first one to collect in this forum! Do us the customary picture of your wheels as the first owner. Did you tint the car in Honda as well? How long was the time in between dealer receiving the car to delivering it into your hands?

It will consumed more for 1.5T as compare with 2.0 NA engine. Average can get 8.XX km/l for normal cruising.

Engine needs running in before getting better FC. Give it 5-10k kms.

went to showroom and check out the new civic. i noticed that the show room car's door is a bit hard to open and close, ask SA and he say it's by design. other show room car also same?

Yes I also noticed this on the showroom cars. Another disappointing thing is the plastic material used as the large edge panels of the rear seats (in between rear seat back rest and C pillar). Felt cheap but looks like US cars also uses plastic material for this piece.

6ish??? Serious?
You're using the 1.5 Turbo yes?
Interested in hearing the heat issue you mentioned

It's common for new cars running in period to have the engine hood burning hot to the touch after driving. Give it a couple of thousand Kms and it should be back to normal.

kinda regret mentioning the engine runs hot now...

btw.. does anyone know if the TC-P has LED for the backlights?

i just realised the TC has a bulb... LEDs should be way much cooler.

and where can i find aftermarket parts?? i wanna get a boot spoiler.. will it void warranty??

I have been monitoring Cool Racing Sport from Bangkok who has been shipping to Malaysia and other parts of the world.

My favorite rear spoiler is the Thai RS Rear Spoiler but no one seems to sell it yet. 2nd choice will be the OEM US spec Civic Touring rear deck lip spoiler. Check out the post from CRS timeline dated May 18.

Other bits which is a must for silver and white Civics is the RS black front grill which they ship to MY as well.

Install instructions here:
