I've got 2 of those. Not sure myself. Keeping it just in case.

hmm, does this still apply keep the engine below 2.5k rpm?? It already kena hentam when its in factory or by salesman.

Somewhat like this i suppose

dunno whether anyone has answered this before but has anyone tried 5 passenger across speed bumps?

Look nice, how does it fit? How much u bought yours

Horn can easily change outside.
The sound is like "pin"?

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)

Both very good cars. Its quite difficult to differentiate both. But both have the pros and cons. The K5 drives like a conti. Its a solid car and very good on long journeys. Plus it comes packed with features. The K5 also has a better frontal crash rating than the BMW 5 Series. That's how well built the car is.

I guess the Civic betters the K5 in terms of it's suspension and steering feel. Even though the car is lighter but you feel pretty confident pushing the car to higher speeds. The K5 has better cornering ability because of its large 18 inch rims.

Both good cars for sure. Very difficult to choose between the both. I guess, push comes to shove the differing factor would be the price. The Civic 1.8L is about 30K cheaper.

ok cool! thanks for the update! thats such a huge relief!

what did they do for your first service?

also, how long did you have to make an appointment? My car is now at 800kms - if i do this weekend, i wont hit 1000, but if next week, should hit 1200kms
