1.5t drivers out there, are you pumping (planning to pump) ron95 or 97?

According to Honda's chief engineer Yuji Matsumochi, he mentioned that the engine is tuned to run on regular (ron95). As for premium (ron95 and above), no difference.

A lot has been said and will be said about the so called 'benefits' of using RON97 on cars which are tuned/designed for RON95. And a lot of this is actually spread by the fuel companies themselves to 'encourage' RON97 use.

Unless ure driving a high performance / high compression turbo, RON95 is good enough. Im using RON95 on my car and its perfectly fine.

But the best RON95 fuel out there is actually BHP Infiniti Advanced. It actually sits in between Euro 3 and Euro 4.

FC is still the way to measure any difference. Did u do FC calc on ur BMW?

I alternate between 95 and 97 and somehow it feels difference in terms of power ... feel good factor maybe. Got to start monitoring the FC with the civic.

My plan now is to run 97 until 1500 to 2000kms. Then change to 95 to see any difference.

Posted in previous F&F Thread:

I just thought about this... As you all know, Honda Civic can be filled with RON92 and above, so we should be able to fill in with RON95 fuel. However the Civic 1.5T is a Euro4 engine. RON95 fuel in Malaysia is only Euro2 compliant, and only RON97 fuel is Euro4m compliant.

So we should only fill in RON97 fuel and never RON95 am I right?

Euro 4 is emission standard. I think no effect on performance and FC.

Checklist for those collecting their new ride.

QUOTE
You are obviously excited about the delivery of your new car, but WAIT! Many have paid a huge price for the resultant haste, and its best to take some necessary precautions before driving away in your new machine.

Team-BHP enlists all that you should check for as a part of the pre-delivery inspection:

Before Registration:
Check for any repair jobs / body damage; damage to some cars is inevitable in transit and most repair work is glaringly obvious.

Preparations:
Confirm: the date of delivery with your dealership. It is best to go there only after the car has been prepared and is ready. If you have a preference for a particular day / time (for auspicious reasons), inform the sales person.
Daylight: We recommend accepting delivery in broad daylight, since the dark can conceal a lot. You may also not get good service in the evening since dealership personnel are in a hurry to wrap the day up.

Documentation: Ascertain that you carry any required documentation with you. This may include forms, receipts etc.

Payments: If any payment formalities are to be completed, carry along the relevant PDC’s / Cash / Credit Cards.

Third Person: It’s always a good idea to take a relative / friend along for suggestions, observations and comments.

Memories: Take a camera along.

Music: Carry a CD / cassette if your car is equipped with a stereo. Or in our case, bring along ur USB cable to sync ur phone.

At the Showroom:
Be Courteous: Don’t bully around. It’s a nice happy moment and the sales staff is as excited as you are. Treat them with respect, and you will get better service.

Get a Demo
- Part of the salesperson's job is to acquaint you with your new car's features and how each one operates. Ask him to demonstrate the car fully, and top to bottom, in order to understand how everything works on the vehicle.

Visit the Service Department: We recommend meeting the service manager and getting familiar with the service center facilities.

Final Inspection:
Check the car again: A lot could have happened between the pre-registration inspection and today. It’s best to walk around the car and ascertain that the car is super clean! Look for any signs of repair work / damage such as paint difference, dents etc. Even the interiors should be squeaky clean.
Check that all lights and electric accessories are working fine.
Confirm that all the accessories you ordered are fitted on the car.

Check that the spare wheel is fresh. And that all related tools (spanner, jack etc.) are present. Are there wheel locks? If so, ensure that the lug key is there in the car.

Misc : Wipers, floor matting, first-aid kit & hazard sign.
What is the mileage on your car? It should not be more than a 100 km (or in the whereabouts) for most brands.

Ensure that there is enough fuel in the car. At least to get you to the nearest petrol pump.

Somehow, most new cars are delivered with over-inflated tyres by the showroom. Check the tyre pressure and make the necessary adjustments.

Tally your car's registration number with the number plate. Dealers are known for their carelessness here. One BHPian was about to take delivery of his car with different numbers on the front & rear plates!

Documentation:
Read the paperwork! Don't take anybody's word for anything. Make sure all the blanks in the contract are filled in.
Invoice. (Check that the Chassis and Engine number of the car matches with the Invoice).

Sales certificate.
All payment receipts.
Registration book or temporary certificate (Some States). Is your name spelt correctly? Are the car chassis / engine number matching with the actual?

Insurance: Ensure that coverage is valid and active.
If u are transferring ur NCD, bring along ur cover note / endorsement.

Owners Manual.
Duplicate Keys.
Original warranty with all relevant dealership stamps.
Extended Warranty (If opted for).
Warranty of third party items such as battery, tyres etc.
Roadside assistance Contact details.
Business cards of dealership and service personnel.
Say Thanks to everyone and leave!

Have fun!

Go for 1.5t for now. Get the new accord when it's launched in early 2019.

This civic should hold its rv very well so transitioning to the accord won't cost u much.

I believe accord x with turbo will be as much ground breaking as this civic. Else it won't sell.

Nope only saw it driving past quickly at Honda Jln Damansara.

But just now spent about 5 mins walking around the white Civic at the showroom.

My initial though from my short 15km ride home from dealership.

1) ride is slightly on the firm side at low speed.
2) steering is well weighted while giving pretty good feedback at low speed.
3) my car's fitting is fortunately better than the show car. Sturdier and less gap.
4) android auto is fun to have.
5) audio is better than most c segment cars bar the rear passenger side. They should have mounted the speakers on the back doors.

Congrats on your new ride. You must be the first owner in KB. Hope later you can give opinion on handling especially how well this car manage the body roll. Thanks in advance
*
I'm driving real slow. Not more than 70kmh and certainly no hard cornering. Cant comment on body roll yet.

Steering feels well weighted for me. Suspension is pretty firm at low speed but still comfortable. Doubt it will scrape bumps.

One thing I dislike is the petrol cover. The doors has to be unlocked only u can open the cover. An old fashion petrol cover lever/release button is still the way to go.

There's no easter egg on my armrest's rubber base.

My civic is only the 3rd or the road ... at least the other 2 are helping to take some attention off my car haha.

Personally, I think the first batch is technically the best batch to buy (for CKD cars at least).

> Top team leads will be selected to work on the car
> Japanese specialist supervising every step of the production
> Tedious QC check processes guided by specialist at every production stage-gate

In terms of assembly, the first batch will be the best. The worst case scenario is that they have probably taken your car apart a couple of times and redone it till its perfect.

Usually the parts that fail is the manufactured bits - i.e. small springs etc. which was certainly not produced for the first time, but this should be within the control limits - maybe 1% small defects - it's bound to happen on any batch.

Japanese are especially particular with this, even in retail sectors. U will see Japanese supervisors in newly open outlets. The sales personnel will bow and greet you, that is until they left.
