Does anyone here knows whether is the current civic being occupied with the latest TCM (Transmission Control Module) software? In US, most of them after updated (also due to the CVT surges), the car drove much better!

No one reported any surging issue at highway speeds. Engine speeds are quite stable throughout, so I guess the software is the latest.

Thanks for the info!


Anyone here tried driving uphill yet? Did the RPM jumps and held on 2.5k then it went down to below 2k RPM? Mine did. Not sure whether is this how CVT works.

Sounds like screw loosen or something like that or screw left behind ... go to SC and ask them to check.

Drove to Genting last weekend from JB. Floored the pedal up to 160km/h on highway. Car is powerful enough for the climb with wife & 2 kids. Those seated at the back complaint the back seat too slippery (was leather coated) every time I made the winding turn. Saw another Civic X parked at the First World Hotel. FC 15.5 km/L without ECON and cruise control

On the way back maintain ECON and cruise control on highway. Manage to get 18.7 km/L FC

Discovered a flaw with the volume control. Not responsive sometime if I plug in my iPhone 6s to use Carplay (especially Spotify). Unplug and plug back solved the problem

Also discover the knob at the dashboard (next the one labeled Trip) is actually dashboard + HU brightness control

+1 nice! how the car performed during uphill? it is effortlessly or u do feel the car is being pulled back and u needed to floor it down more to get the car up?
