Just got my car! Very happy with it

Wow 18.4 km/l for highway + some kampung drive. Really good FC..  as good or even better than 1500cc B segment car....

Thank god u changed car. The new dugong VIos no longer fuel efficient as old VIos. And it's kosong car. What made u buy it? I guess city have not come out yet when u buy?

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.

Mid section. Noise, vibration n heat insulation job.

Back section. Note the piping for the dual exhaust.

I didn't pay attention to it. But from the pix below, the circled bar looks like it.

I did tekan. Maybe that's what you called lag
Cornering with 100kmh in sungai best area is quite smooth too.

Yeah I think the actual proper way to use it is to first press the lock button on the remote, even if your car is already locked. Then only press the remote start.

It's always the case with other makes; lock first then remote start.

Finally picked up the car today.  So much to explore..  Andriod auto works on S7 edge.

That means that your wait is ending soon! Once you have the chassis number, that means that it's either on the way (on the trailer) or it has arrived at your dealer. If your loan / downpayment is settled 100%, you'll get it within this week. Gratz!

Ur tire pressure is probably at 43psi. Reduce it to the recommended pressure which is 32psi.

U'll feel the difference in cornering, road noise and also ride comfort. Also allow the tire to break in for further improvements.

42% TSER for the front... Should be less than 70% IRR 😂 And windscreen is the most important.

Anyone have problem on car registration? My civic arrived 28th to Kah motor, till today 30 Jun not yet done registration!!!

My SA keep saying "Still pending register . Once done let u know"

Just collected my wife's Civic 1.8S Lunar Silver this evening.

I drove about 50km in total since. My brief observations:

1) The 1.8 CVT is NOT sluggish at all. A complete difference to the City and its slight more powerful than the HRV. I think its been tuned to suit the Civic.
2) NVH is good and gives you the conti feel. But Honda should have done a better job with the NVH between the engine compartment and the cabin.
3) The CVT gets loud when you floor the pedal during hard acceleration but very quiet when cruising
3) Tyre noise is there probably due to Conti MC5 tyres (which are just medium range)
4) Fabric seats are sufficiently comfortable but I would take leather anytime
5) Seats are well designed and suits body contours well.
6) Steering feels firm when cruising and light when manoeuvring. Honda did an excellent job here.
7) Brakes are good and gives you that extra confidence
8) Aircon is damn cold. I usually have the temp set at around 19 deg in my own car but in the Civic I had it at 24 deg.
9) Suspension is a bit on the firm side but makes cornering good

Really satisfied with the 1.8S. I was preparing myself for a sluggish ride especially since I drive a F10 myself. But kudos to Honda for doing a good job in minimising the negative effects of the CVT.

One thing that Honda needs to sort somehow is the radio reception. Almost all channels have some sort of disturbance with the worst being Hitz FM.
