As for rsb, I've not installed yet, but from my gathered info, it'll be the most obvious in term of changing the characteristic of the car, and it does add a certain "weight" to the car making it a former ride

Just browsing through the pages here and the Civic thread. There doesn't seem to be many problems with this car unlike the Civic.
But to those asking what tech the Civic has over M3, I'll list them below. Not really tech but more like features.
Turbo engine, remote start, walk away lock, LCD meter, dual zone AC, rear AC vents, voice recognition / car play, multi angle camera.

It probably don't have due to regulation but you can add in a plug and play accessory to have the doors lock when you step on the brake or put the gear into D.

I read thru the forum I found that I have to do that at specific accessories shop and the price is quite costly and not fix. Any better recommendation?

I've made it a habit to lock the car by hand immediately after closing the door - even before starting the engine. It really is second nature once you get into the routine of it. Best part - it's free

The price is less than RM400 and includes auto side mirror folding. I know of 2 shops which can do it: Sh0rty 5 Noise & Chassis foaming solution EA AutoWorks

Easier to open the door (when possible) after being involved in an accident, either by bystanders or emergency services.
