I might need to drive back from penang to johor during break in period.. Is this consider whack? Any suggestion how to drive?

sorry i do not know how to respond to multiple quotes.

just gonna answer them rite here.

for the heat:

its NOT like its overheating. just that the engine compartment feels hotter than most cars i've driven.

compared it with n/a's, a supercharged old car (dun ask me what car hehe). my in law's vw's (two of them).

and even the newer bmws with turbo..

alternation might be right. hope its a break in thing.

for the FC:

yes mine is a 1.5T.. have to clarify tho i did a couple half trottle accerelations to 130-140ish.. on all runs with eco mode off. i will "try" to drive normally and give another result..

for the service:
yes.. was told by SA to bring back at 1000km.. but found a screen on the instrument panel that says "Oil life" and it says 9900KM left.. read the manual and it says that it will calculate when u need servicing.. anyways my SA blur blur one i might post and ask on honda malaysia for assisstance on this one.

can anyone tell me how much is the first service goin to cost? website says first service is free but nothing seems to be replaced? can anyone clarify go first service for what??

for the light in compartment. i will check.

Alright guys.. For those who are aiming to get the 1.8 with an upgrade to leather (myself included) I've checked with several SCs. A couple of them said that the upgrade isn't possible, while the third SC from Seremban 2 said that it's possible, via a Honda authorized accessories shop. Assembling leather seats, upholstery and garnishing directly from the plant is definitely not possible. Has to be via a third party.

Could be a deal breaker to some. It is to me.

Honda itself does not cover this. What previously people meant the SA will help you bring it out to accessories shop to install the leather. I have been done this many times for my previous car.

AFAIK there's no such thing as a Honda authorized accessories shop. It's just a shop where the SA has a deal with for a commission or a shop the dealer normally use for accident repairs.

Long time ago when I was a car nOOb I also got conned by this line by the SA.

Also be prepared for life long rattling issues due to loose parts after they take apart factory fitted stuff to install the leather.

the third brake light yala LED..

can give me link to the specs?

i can't be certain because my leg is not long enuf to press the brake pedal and look from the back. =P
