Overall, it is still a continental cars. In terms of handling, performance and safety, those BMW, Mercedes or Audi got certain level of reliability. Or else why a person paid premium cost for a vehicle that give them satisfaction? An entry level brand new Japanese cars only cost RM60k ++ whereas a brand new Continental cars cost around RM180k ++ for basic spec. For normal driving condition (~110km/h), Japanese cars is sufficient enough to travel from point A to B. Whereas those enthusiast that preferred dynamic driving performance...can upgrade to Continental cars.

try restart the HU?

I restarted the car. How do u restart the HU?

I do hope Honda vehicles equipped with FR instead of FF. This setup not only fun to drive but also great handling. Not understand why Japanese cars maker opt for FF instead of FR setup for specific models.

You missed my point.

I said that having a feeling of being planted while driving on a straight road should not automatically be equated to being stable. Most cars would be planted somewhat on a straight road. The problem occurs during emergency evasive manoeuvring at higher speeds which is where conti's like BMW, Audi, etc will have that added bit of stability.

Try taking corners in a F10 at 150kmph vs a Civic at that same speed. You will notice the difference. Of course there are many factors that come into play with the type of tyres used amongst the most influential factors. Stability control systems have their limits and at very high speeds, it's generally useless if ure out of control.

Also u need to understand crash ratings. The comparison only works when all cars are impacted at around 64kmph. For example, a small compact car getting a 5 star frontal crash rating doesn't equate to a BMW/Merc getting the same rating. There is a clause in the crash tests which state that frontal crash test ratings should be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.

I think costing is the major concern for Japanese car makers to consider FR

For those who bought the 2016 Civic, how much DP and monthly for you guys?

I think some of the features are useful to local model.

Question: does your car come with the sliding compartment in the arm rest? cause mine only comes with a removable cup holder.

Guys, the accord has huge discounts.. I booked the civic tc White... But with the accord discount, the lowest variant is now same priced with the new civic. Which will be a better choice? What do u guys think?

Btw, I came from owning a jazz hybrid and city.
Driving mostly in town. Occasional highway during festive seasons (balik kampung). Seldom drive alone, normally with wife and my two year old. So there you go, hoping for some good advice. Thx!

I just booked a white 1.8S and my SA promised the car will be delivered in August.

My SA offered to upgrade the seats to full leather for RM2.8k. Is the price reasonable? She said the material and quality will be similar to the turbo models.

Or is it cheaper or better for me to do it outside (eg. Carbi Deco, Newton Leather). Anybody has experience with them?
