FYI it's actually Shell Helix Ultra repacked as OEM oil. It's GTL oil so nearly nil sulphur content. Thought this may put a smile on your face.

1. Dashboard rattling sound
2. Rolling drone sound

Yes! Right side corner! Mine too, like " ti ti ti ti...ti...titi" kind of sound.

Just read through the post, seems like common issue for rattling sound, pls share if Honda manage to settle for you and how. I worry it get worst if dissemble by inexperienced technician.

Guys, want to ask. Is the 1.8 variant using the same engine as previous Civic like HR-V?

If to compare both stock speakers for Mazda 3 and New Civic which would be better?

Just came back from a day trip KL - Ipoh - KL with 4 adults in the car. First highway drive. Managed to hit 150kmph at certain stretches on the return trip. Even had the pleasure of driving in the rain for the first time. Also, took the trunk road for about 40km to avoid the heavy traffic on the NSE.

I must say im quite impressed with the handling and steering feel. If I didn't know it was a Honda, I might have thought it was a conti. Felt very confident driving the car. Although the car is relatively light (approx. 1.25 tonnes), the suspension is firm enough to prevent significant body roll at tight corners and yet soft enough to provide a very comfortable ride. Except for the noise from the tyres, there is very little other road noise penetrating the cabin. Even wind noise from the side mirrors is limited.

I also really liked the wipers. Very smooth and effective despite the large windscreen. Better than even my BMW wipers I must say.

I guess the 2 drawbacks I experienced was firstly the limitation of the 1.8S engine. Mid range acceleration ability is limited so fast overtaking was difficult. But this is easily overcome if you use Sports mode (albeit with increased fuel consumption for sure).

The 2nd drawback was the halogen lights. After being accustomed to HID headlights (Kia Optima K5) since 2012 and LED (BMW) now, I needed a bit of getting used to. Found myself turning on the high beam a lot when I was on the trunk road.

My whole trip today consumed slightly more than half tank of fuel. Didn't use the fill-measure-fill method so can't be certain of the exact consumption.

(P/S No rattling or any defects so far)

i saw black one nice o...

Anyone figured out how to change the fuel consumption measurement from km/ltr to ltr/100km? Manual seems to indicate that there are 2 different views.

Yes but a slightly tuned unit.

A few more things I discovered from finally reading the manual..

HM removed some basic features on our local spec cars:
- Glovebox lights
- Vanity mirror (on visor) lights
- Radio RDS function
The above features were with a footnote that it's only available on some models. The TC-P's here do not come with it.

TC-P's come with
- Auto clock time/date update from built in GPS. Clock should not be off and should never need time/date adjustment.

I just can't fathom why would HM remove such basic features, especially vanity mirror lights.

i read rumour somewhere from US web that they will replace lanewatch to blindspot monitoring next year coz is not convenient to look at the right/left then center

what is the FC like for the 1.8 version?

If the headlights really bothers you, can consider changing to those slightly whiter halogen bulbs from Osram Night Breaker series or Philips Crystal/Diamond Vision. Shouldn't void warranty as those are wear and tear parts like the tyres. Just need to get the correct socket type and wattage.

Good for you to have a non rattling unit

Pretty interesting Ingress Mirrorlink HDMI Dongle which plugs into the HDMI port of the car. Sold in Thailand and works for iOS and Android for wireless mirroring to the HU. Wonder if it's just plug and play?

Hi all Civic X owner,

As i understand a few you guys dont bother to install car paddle lock or steering lock on your brand new civic.
Someone even mentioned car paddle lock isn't appropriate device to place in due to remote start engine.

As far as i concern about vehicle theft case at my condo area is quite active. Is there any anti-theft resulotion on this?

Any suggestion in this matter is greatly appreciate.

u parked outside?

I had the same concern as well...read in some other forums that nwadays the thief can even copy the signal emitted from our fob and duplicate it..they can just drive off the car without much effort..not sure how true is this..

Currently the only precaution that i am taking is to park at a safer place..not gona risk parking at any back alley..

There is a case at my condo even park inside designed own parking also got stolen.
Somehow feel useless even guard around.
That my worried.
