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 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.

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.

Good luck mate. Who knows JPJ tutup operation on Monday and you'd be screwed.

If you are asking if you can drive the car through a bump at 50kph like a Camry can. The answer is no. Not for Civic and not really for Accord to depending on your tolerance.

As for whether it will fail. It won't lar, it is just the way they set the entire system up and the car just happens to feel that way.

First 1000km is inspection only. That is why only got labour charges or free service.

Ala, people wanna change oil, u let him change la. How much does it costs for an oil change?

Honda will gladly take ur money. My other honda did an engine oil change on the first service. Usual service plus atf and coolant change on the 2nd service. They also accept mah, jus pay the money.

Yes, if majority does not mind paying above rm150k for a civic. Honda has done the research and determined if needed to pay, no one wants those stuff.

I think there was a video before comparing factory installed windshields and replacement windshields. Factory installed windshields are purportedly able to lift the car's weight by itself.

So, i don't see the point of purposely breaking your windshields just to make the most of the insurance.

The insurance is just a betting game. If statistically you have managed to claim the windshield in your previous car multiple times. It might be worth having it. If not, just think of saving aside money spend for the premium of the windshield in case it breaks 4 or 5 years down the road.

Doing 160 and expect us to believe you are light footed?

DAMN YOU!

Time for me to get an FK2R

That is a bit overkill right. I think they should introduce separate NCD for windscreen and hike up the premiums.

You mean overflow reservoir is it? Overflow reservoir is not for you to keep extra coolant la. It is for the overflowing when the coolant temperature goes up and the expansion causes the extra coolant to flow into the reservoir.

The econ mode got affect the aircond blower one meh? I dun think got so high tech yet la. Blower dun mess with FC anyway. The compressor however, does.

I believe it is just more than the stitching / sewing. It is also about a special thread that is used on the covers.

Alcantara is somewhat a bad idea unless you are equipping a sports car who will see some competition use.

Alcantara is hard to take care unlike real leather. It will wear faster, have usage signs on it and not to mention inconsistent wear signs especially on the steering. I have an OMP steering which has some parts lighter than the other because it is the part which i usually grab the most. Not to mention, not quite nice to feel when you are sweaty and stuff.

As for pro's. Not sure, i think it is more grip than leather, maybe flame retardant and not sure what else.

That is why units like Blackvue is becoming more popular nowadays because it doesn't mess with the wiring. It just plugs into the ciggie lighter and that's it.

If you want to see live, use your phone via wifi. Even rear cam also connects with front cam via wifi. Not really good integration, but also doesn't mess with shit in your car.
