why they don't have Rallye Red color...Ruby Red looks cheap

Agreed. If they had that option I would've chosen it rather than the Lunar Silver Metallic

Tq bro for the videos and information

so, prefer the 1.8 version for those who wants to have the car for a long time?
*
Nah, I wouldn't say so. As long as you properly maintain the car as per manufaturer recommendation, it should last as long as an NA car. Don't let the naysayers influence you. I'm also sure Honda doesn't want it's reputation to be in tatters when their Turbo cars have reliability issues.

I chose the Turbo cause it has better performance with better FC. At least it's significantly better than my current Civic 2.0 which I could only get between 8km/l-12km/l.

I went to test drive the tc-p today and noticed that the temp and fuel gauge are not digital but analog gauges made to look like digital.

It's digital, just not LCD. The Civic gauges use LED lights to indicate the temperature & fuel levels. Analog gauges are such as below

dear all,

want to clarify that the car is NOT overheating.. its just hotter than usual.

totally agree that different engineering can allow products to exhibit differerent behaviour..

much like AMD vs Nvidia (if anyone plays games)

old AMDs run hotter than the competition but that doesn't mean its broken..

over here i'm just sharing what you guys might want to know. NOT to start a flame.
btw.. can't remember who asked this... the glovebox does not have a light.. (but the centre console where you will eventually place your phone has a tiny LED light when its night time) and its a little hard to close sometimes. hope it can be improved in upcoming batches for new owners.

additional findings:
1. the auto lights are very sensitive.still learning on tuning the sensitivity.

2. i managed 10.5 km/l coming to the city today. (econ on) light throttle only.

3. You can remote start AND stop your car using the remote (most will know but its new to me).

can't think of anything so far still half asleep.. will post again later (unless you guys don't want me sharing anymore).
*
It was me who asked about the glove compartment. Thanks for the confirmation - sad about it being omitted, but not really a dealbreaker.

The auto headlights can be adjusted? That's great! My wife's HRV also has auto headlights, but it can't be adjusted - and it's really sensitive too - driving through a short tunnel (1 second drive through) will turn the lights on immediately.

I hope I can get my car this week. My SA promised me I'll get the car within this month biggrin.gif

In the meantime, please continue to share your observations about the car - keeps us excited

Just quick check, since your wife is driving HRV, is it under your name too ?

I heard SA mentioned before, if you buy for second Honda Cars (provided first of Honda car under your name), it will get discount RM1000 (bonus for second car with them, something like this.. ), do you have chance to get it ??
*
Nope, under wife's name. Never heard about this promotion though, but I am getting a discount from my dealer as my previous City & Civic was also bought from them rclxms.gif

Warranty, reliability etc. There are lots of reasons why.

Nah, might as well I straightaway buy the 1.5T - enjoy it to the max from the start. I have no interest in modifying for performance - we're not wiralution fanboys here.

My last reply to a troll: What stress? The engine is not outputting 300HP 600Nm torque. A Civic Type R it aint. The 1.5T is like a 2.4L NA. Soft turbo or not, the Civic FC 1.5T is more on fuel efficiency and not performance - but compared to the old 2.0, it's definitely more powerful.

It's using an INVECS-III CVT transmission with a six-step sports mode

I was also surveying the grills, saw it here: http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/JDM-2016-Honda-...JcAAOSwMHdXS-nQ

Looks like USD180 including postage. Import duty is 25% and GST 6%. I'm actually waiting for the RS spoiler. Can't seem to find any.

I just thought about this... As you all know, Honda Civic can be filled with RON92 and above, so we should be able to fill in with RON95 fuel. However the Civic 1.5T is a Euro4 engine. RON95 fuel in Malaysia is only Euro2 compliant, and only RON97 fuel is Euro4m compliant.

So we should only fill in RON97 fuel and never RON95 am I right?

Hi all,

Just wanted to clarify on something, went to one of the Sales gallery today at setapak.

One of the the SA told me that the service costing is higher from Civic 1.5 TC-P compare to 1.8.

For example :
Civic 1.5 Turbo does not follow its guide line of service its car at interval of 10000KM after each service whereby follow by the way we drive, as soon as the indicator at the meter show us to services its car before reaching 10000KM, we have to get the civic to the SC.

Anyone can advise on that?

He told me that the maintenance is higher than mercedes.
*
That branch must've got a lot of 1.8 in stock compared to TC models laugh.gif

Join us in the main Civic thread https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4206288

The answer to your question is... It depends... If you seldom encounter heavy traffic, you would not need to separate your oil change (following maintenance minder / oil life meter) and periodic maintenance (every 10k km). I did mine together as my maintenance minder and periodic maintenance is exactly the same. People who face heavy traffic jams, would see that their oil life would drop faster, why may necessitate them to change the engine oil roughtly every 6,000km.

But as I said, it depends...

I did some scenarios here: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry83411530

Disregard the warranty status, coz the discussion was that Honda would void the warranty if you don't do maintenance within 1 month, or 1,000km

The SA did explain about service reminder but not complete (accurate) information. He just told me servicing is based on service reminder, indicator A and B. If A triggered usually at around 7K - 8K depending on driving condition, I can still continue to use the car until B triggered. Then the car must be send in for service. To me it is just like an early servicing. I don't have problem with this.

This is not the case after I understand from Honda Malaysia and Service Mgr at the SC. A triggered, send the car in for engine oil change. B triggered, send the car in for Engine oil and filter. 10K send the car in for other parts service. In this case the cost on ownership and time spent is double (or triple) . It is the responsibility of SA or Honda Malaysia to make sure customer fully understood this situation in order for the customer to choose the right car. Especially when this car maintenance is different that the conventional method and double the cost. So the free labor charges at some of the mileage is actually useless, because you already paid for A and B. And most of the service cost (except major) is actually from oil and labor.

To make situation worst, the sensor is an electronic part that may degrade over time or when it is dirty. I just hope its sensitivity stay the same. If it gives you wrong trigger (too early or too late) in the future, that is another problem. Also 2 SC in Penang Island is giving 2 different version of story .... How suck to be in this situation.
*
Maintenance Minder is not really using sensors - it's calculated using your driving conditions (short trips, frequent starting and stopping, and hilly terrain) that may push necessary maintenance up to shorter mileage intervals - so your dirty sensor claims is invalid. When your Maintenance Minder service is triggered, usually the oil life still has 1,500KM left - choose the Wrench option to see the oil life balance left. You can schedule a service immediately, but estimate when it'll be close to 0KM left when you do the service.

You can also opt to group the servicing together (oil change + periodic maintenance), or just do the oil change (A) / oil + filter change (B) if you want. Anyway, it's the fault of your Honda Sales Agent, not really Honda since they didn't explain to you. I understand most of the Civic owners already know about this before they even booked the car.

Jz curious, how does it calculate when to change filter as in B ?

Maintenance minder always resets to 10,000km but as the above, it depends on your driving conditions on how soon it'll ask you to go for oil change service.

meaning honda said 10k km intervals at best. but your car ecu will decide if its less than 10k km ?
btw this is only for turbo or both variant.
*
Turbo only. 1.8 will always be every 10,000 for preventative maintenance & oil change interval - it doesn't even have maintenance minder.

So far, my 1.5 oil change interval is also every 10,000km - but I seldom face heavy traffic. You can group the servicing together if you'd like (oil change interval & preventative maintenance) if the disparity is less than 2,500km apart.

On Garmin Navigation, yes you still can use the normal car radio. In fact, even while using Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, you still can use the normal car radio as well.

QUOTE(mmw5610 @ Jul 5 2017, 08:39 AM)
So the 1.8 is more for city drive and 1.5 turbo for long haul drive?
*
I'd put it this way:

Both are suitable for city or long haul driving, for both men or women. The major difference between the 2 is price, and engine:
• more power - 1.5
• less hassle of maintenance scheduling - 1.8
• better fuel consumption (light footed driver) - 1.5

The rest are just add-ons that you may/may not need
• leather seats TC/TCP
• led headlights & foglamps TCP
• dual zone airconditioning TCP
• paddle shifters TC/TCP
• offline Garmin navigation TCP

thank you! But i notice there are more ppl selling away their 1.8 instead of 1.5. so far any major problem with 1.8?
*
regret didn't take the TC/TC-P in the first place? brows.gif

So far didn't hear any inherent issue that warrants people selling off their Honda Civic. If I had to guess why are they selling it off: most people want to buy non-national C segment car, and the Honda Civic was by far the most affordable Japanese C-Segment at the time. People started buying the cheapest version, since it was fully loaded with features anyway, and get caught with the monthly commitment. Remember also that the Civic launched near the raya season last year, so quite a few bought it for their "raya cars". I'm generalizing this though and may/may not be true smile.gif
