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.
* before I kena flame, better declare that I am an mfg-ops consultant

I agree fully with you on that. I'm into operation as well

Further months down, once the foreign experts are gone - the local team will local source for cheaper material.
As you know for local suppliers, they may give inferior quality

A total NEW model (facelift not included) will see a good hand holding by HQ experts to oversee the 1st batch operation and quality of manufacturing.

This new CIVIC should qualify as NEW

Just for sake of discussion if any accidents happen during test drive, the driver is liable for damage?

V plate will open for tender for 1 month after Raya I read. Then result will release a month later. Correct me if I'm wrong

If it's true you have a very long wait

Do you guys apply any protection for the touchscreen?

I plan to when I get my car.

Just buy cheap laptop screen protector from Daiso, measure and cut to the size

Also plan to get Yi Dash Cam which comes with lane departure warning. A good add on to the missing Lane Watch

Then this is really WTF for me, hahaha...I gonna wait until mid of August then. Hope they can release earlier.

Another bummer for you, once JPJ announce the result mid Aug, you still need to pay the balance 50% tender amount and JPJ will take another week or two to process.

That's part of the Body in White (BIW) of the car.  Typically, it's stamped and welded together on a jig by robots and not manually welded.  The "clay" you see is also not clay but some type of epoxy which is commonly used in joints of sheets for cars (even BMW's here) .  Honda should be very stringent on the specs of the BIW for their cars and it's all based on automated manufacturing process.

Here is a pic of the BIW for the 2016 Civic.  See how stringent Honda is in using different materials in the BIW for safety and ridgity purposes.

I totally agree on this but there's one very nice lady SA at Taiping Honda a.k.a Delima Kinta Honda was very polite and nice with me. Met her 2 years ago while test driving the new city alone.  That time she was still new to the field but now already top sales in her branch. Still very polite and lots of smiles. Would recommend to those who's staying around Ipoh/Taiping area for this SA. Very efficient and pretty as well. Too bad wasn't able to get my car as my HM disapprove of my purchase the new Civic... cool2.gif

Bank or HM disapprove?

Got mine on last Thursday.

Hear some weird noise like " wong wong wong~~" until 80kmh above just reduced. Did you guys heard such noise?? I suspect it might come from bearing because it appear when wheel start rolling.

Did you drive pass to Taman Daya this afternoon? Saw one Black TC-P pass by. Congrats.

Can PM which tint you went for in JB?
