Just tested Android auto on the Malaysia civic... Only google maps for navigation at the moment, hopefully waze can tap along in future

speaking about the back seats...does anyone feel that the back seats are a little too soft  for a family sedan? The fabric ones are somehow softer than the leather options.

had a look at this Civic the other day. I could not tell the difference between this and the Bezza. Both had appalling interior plastics. Both had the same size boot. Both are feminine pondan-mobiles. At least with Bezza you save RM80K, and you won't look like a fool stranded by the roadside with a failed CVT. Test drove the Civic. Road noise was terribly loud. B-pillar trims emitted creaking sounds when going over bumps. Wind noise started at 80kph. Transmission made a lot of whiny noise. There's delay in the drive-by-wire response. Brakes were spongy. Speakers were tin sounding. Aircond wasn't cold enough. Ride was harsh and the car vibrated a lot. Steering wasn't responsive enough. Pick up (0 to 40) was sluggish. Radio reception was bad. Seatbelt kept getting stuck. Windows wound slowly with excessive noise. Honda's quality has gone downhill in recent years. All they care about is getting cars to look pretty to please yuppies and daffodils. Can't they make a decent car? This Civic is no better that a Proton Saga. Shameful. A peon's car.

lol... only looking at the NVH part already know this guy is a competitor agent... trying to drag down the reputation of civic.... and the CVT story... still live in the past i guess... compare with Bezza... hahahahaha... such a joker....

Quite obvious, as all the reviews i the US , Canada all praised the new Civics NVH and ride and handling and yet he claims the opposite.

just pointing out that the quality will differ between North America and Thailand.  in terms of assembly, sound proof materials, welding, etc

are u saying it is not true?

can't rebut with concrete arguments so have to resort to personal attack. i expected more from someone with so many stars

I just test drove the 1.5 TC-P a few days ago, it had none of the issues you mentioned. Acceleration was brisk for a CVT, there was no noticeable CVT whine and the cabin was relatively quite. Steering response is good enough with little deadzone off-center, and definitely no creaking noise whatsoever in my test drive car. Aircon was also fine that I actually ask the SA to turn it down because it was getting uncomfortably cold.

My only nitpick is that the engine noise became abit intrusive beyond 3k RPM and using the paddle shifters was not a terribly satisfying experience.

Didn't test the sound system and the power window though.

To go beyond 3k rpm meaning you step hard on the pedal.
In normal drive the Engine sound still very low.

Some people like the engine sound when they step the pedal. Not sure about the Civic 1.5T but the Mazda 3 gives a satisfying "Vroom" when you step on it to 3500rpm.
