Looks good on the TC-P, the chrome handle does make differences! I guess the chrome handle makes differences on the darker colors like Black, Modern Steel and Dark Ruby.

Tenaga Setia Jln 222. I think they are one of the largest dealers here. Saw a couple of awards in their showroom from HM.

looks good under the sunlight compare to inside the showroom

how much for HO tinting?

RM2080 done at the Honda Dealership. Sech60 front, C40 front sides, and C30 rear sides + rear windscreen.

fair enough
u stay in ss2? that area looks familiar

WOT means wide open throttle.

Do you mean traditional shifting as the rev counter climbs and then drops when it shifts up?

CVT as you know is continuously variable transmission, so there is actually almost an infinite amount of gear ratios available which is why you can see that the rev counter sticks at one rev range and the speed can keep on increasing unlike traditional transmission which has stepped gear ratios.

So, your so called paddle shift is actually the CVT locking itself into a fixed ratio correlated to a specific gear shown on the dash to give you a perception that works like a traditional transmission while in fact it is still the same.

I don't but I grew up there

i think i know where is it, the condo behind is exactly where i stay now. hehehe

Ah, learnt a new term today hehe.

Correct, emulate the traditional shifting where rev goes up and down as the ratio changes. I'm familiar with CVT transmission (Teana and City), both have some sort of "sport" mode where the rpm would stay at much higher side. But this Civic been watching the 0-60 videos, seems like setting to S emulates the traditional shifting (like fixed ratio, but then again knowing it is CVT it is probably just switching the ratio quickly LOL).

CVT style should pick up much quicker than when emulating traditional shifting.

Hari Raya la.

No one knows where the search button is.

Ahhhla... as usual la. The customer is always right. Rush so much that even during PDI found problem also dun dare fix first. Handover car then tell customer come back service center later. And they close down for raya too.

End up, customer kena trolled only. Haha

Business is business la. Sometimes you know they are at peak period doing lots of big business, you don't go kacau them with your RM60/month car wash which they don't make extra money from la.

Even if they do, nanti cincai wash pulak you not happy kan? When they no business, i am sure they will be very grateful you give them "car wash only" business also lo.

Sell extra service is part of their job, if you don't take up the extra service. There is no point they turn sour la.

i booked MAR 2016! can accept such a slow process and lousy service!

I need to go get a test drive soon. It sounds interesting from the way you describe it.

CVT is actually a more superior technology if not for some technical issues. Even F1 considered using it once before it was outrightly banned after they seen the Williams FW15C with it.

The concept is very simple, we used to have conventional 3 speed, 4 speed with overdrive, 5 speed, 6 speed, 7 speed and nowadays 8 speed in some lexus, beemer and merc. All this is how the manufacturers are trying to create gear ratios that are very close to improve acceleration yet not losing top end speed. So, the idea of CVT is actually correct where the ratio is never fixed and can change throughout the operation accordingly to maximize speed against optimizing power output.

As i say, CVT does come with it's own set of problems but it is not really a major one.

I don't think CVT will be quicker if it locks into pre-fixed ratios and so call "shift through the gears". The concept of CVT is to allow for the engine to run at peak power output and continually adjust the ratio to increase the speed. It is just like not allowing your engine to drop out of VTEC activation or turbine to drop out of optimal turbine speed and induce turbo lag

Deng! I had to wait 4 months for my Jazz when they launch and my other half had to wait 6 months for her HR-V not long after they launched leh. No discounts, no free gifts, no special anything wei.

End up the HR-V no buy and fast forward 12 months later, not more than 2 weeks she got her car already. The biggest hold up, loan, trade-in and dunno wat other hassle. Car was sitting at dealership apparently just waiting for someone to go press the push start button.

Just accept it la. Who ask u to go buy pre-order cars jeh. You wait another 6 to 8 months when production is up to full speed. You get your car in no time when pegoh is easily churning out 300- 400 FCs per day.

I too learned through stupidity HM is like that. Just accept or buy the car later. Anyways, later maybe have discount somemore.

Stalker spotted.

Yeap, agreed that the CVT more is a much more efficient in picking up vs. when emulating traditional shifting, but was surprised when I was watching those 0-60 videos out there.

Well I only have a very short test drive on a non registered test drive car... will go for a test drive when the hype is down. Still waiting for my car plate.. hopefully by early 2017, sigh Melaka car plate so so so slow. Take this to observe if any issues on this engine too, until then just envy with the owners who have received their cars!

Yupe, right now this is the must read forum space, all important information and findings and possibly the best sifus are here. Also the best place to stalk civic before i get my hand on my own, just heard news my black car has arrived too, undergoing those usual procedures at dealer side.

I don't think the century sprint is anything to shout about la.

But, if they got turbochargers to work properly. I am just hoping it will be a nice car around town driving. Big cars like this sometimes feel very heavy from standstill and low speed acceleration. So, if they manage to get the torque where it matters. It might be sweet.

I know it is a perception thing at the end of the day. But, if done right. I think it makes a difference by having so much torque so early in the rev band. Just need it to feel like a big diesel engine.
