QUOTE(Josh_M @ Jul 19 2016, 10:53 AM) same here, SA told me by Thursday ill get my 1.8 Black. Checklist for those collecting their new ride. Btw guys it has been 8+ plus years since I bought a new car, Is there any guide lines on what to inspect when we are receiving our new ride. QUOTE You are obviously excited about the delivery of your new car, but WAIT! Many have paid a huge price for the resultant haste, and its best to take some necessary precautions before driving away in your new machine. Have fun!Team-BHP enlists all that you should check for as a part of the pre-delivery inspection: Before Registration: Check for any repair jobs / body damage; damage to some cars is inevitable in transit and most repair work is glaringly obvious. Preparations: Confirm: the date of delivery with your dealership. It is best to go there only after the car has been prepared and is ready. If you have a preference for a particular day / time (for auspicious reasons), inform the sales person. Daylight: We recommend accepting delivery in broad daylight, since the dark can conceal a lot. You may also not get good service in the evening since dealership personnel are in a hurry to wrap the day up. Documentation: Ascertain that you carry any required documentation with you. This may include forms, receipts etc. Third Person: It’s always a good idea to take a relative / friend along for suggestions, observations and comments. Memories: Take a camera along. At the Showroom: Be Courteous: Don’t bully around. It’s a nice happy moment and the sales staff is as excited as you are. Treat them with respect, and you will get better service. Get a Demo - Part of the salesperson's job is to acquaint you with your new car's features and how each one operates. Ask him to demonstrate the car fully, and top to bottom, in order to understand how everything works on the vehicle. Visit the Service Department: We recommend meeting the service manager and getting familiar with the service center facilities. Final Inspection: Check the car again: A lot could have happened between the pre-registration inspection and today. It’s best to walk around the car and ascertain that the car is super clean! Look for any signs of repair work / damage such as paint difference, dents etc. Even the interiors should be squeaky clean. Check that all lights and electric accessories are working fine. Confirm that all the accessories you ordered are fitted on the car. Check that the spare wheel is fresh. And that all related tools (spanner, jack etc.) are present. Are there wheel locks? If so, ensure that the lug key is there in the car. Misc : Wipers, floor matting, first-aid kit & hazard sign. What is the mileage on your car? It should not be more than a 100 km (or in the whereabouts) for most brands. Ensure that there is enough fuel in the car. At least to get you to the nearest petrol pump. Somehow, most new cars are delivered with over-inflated tyres by the showroom. Check the tyre pressure and make the necessary adjustments. Tally your car's registration number with the number plate. Dealers are known for their carelessness here. One BHPian was about to take delivery of his car with different numbers on the front & rear plates! Documentation: Read the paperwork! Don't take anybody's word for anything. Make sure all the blanks in the contract are filled in. Invoice. (Check that the Chassis and Engine number of the car matches with the Invoice). Sales certificate. All payment receipts. Registration book or temporary certificate (Some States). Is your name spelt correctly? Are the car chassis / engine number matching with the actual? Insurance: Ensure that coverage is valid and active. If u are transferring ur NCD, bring along ur cover note / endorsement. Owners Manual. Duplicate Keys. Original warranty with all relevant dealership stamps. Extended Warranty (If opted for). Warranty of third party items such as battery, tyres etc. Roadside assistance Contact details. Business cards of dealership and service personnel. Say Thanks to everyone and leave! This post has been edited by Alternation: Jul 19 2016, 12:40 PM |

QUOTE(avave88 @ Jul 19 2016, 01:06 PM) Bathing my blacky today. Finally found the purpose of this plastic thingy some of us got in the cup holder during the car delivery. Need to insert into the floor so that it can be twist lock the original carpet on the driver side to make it not moving. however, only manage to inserted 1 pc. The other hole is not deep enough to insert this plastic. A bit poor assembly I guess that is why it was left there without install for me. 😂 The clip-hole nearer to the transmission tunnel is shallower, u need to push the clip in and it will bend accordingly. |

QUOTE(berann @ Jul 19 2016, 05:32 PM) Don't get me wrong. civic turbo under normal acceleration and cruising even above 2500rpm or > 130kmh is quiet. Loud engine noise only when u really accelerate hard or floor it where turbo kick in for max power. Noise should be from the turbo. Once release the pedal, everything quiet again. Bro, i havent driven a car, conti or japs which doesnt roar when u kick down. Its an engine for heaven sake When revving high, a NA and turbo engine will sound exactly the same unless the latter is fitted with waste gate. The civic on kick down is still pretty quiet due to its excellent NVH. Some would prefer the roar as it sounded quite alright. |

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Jul 21 2016, 12:18 AM) U need to learn how to use the Auto Brake Function. There is and should never be any 'jerking'. The Honda version of the Auto Brake Hold is very smooth unlike the BMW version. So no reason for any jerking. Even when u floor the pedal the auto brake releases very smoothly. The brake hold will confuse itself when u1) inch forward between 0 - 1 kph. 2) when u didn't fully press the brake to slow down because u don't want to stop completely at very low speed. If replicated correctly, it will trigger the brake hold followed by the judder. My solution is I don't inch forward in brake hold anymore. |

QUOTE(cricketboy @ Jul 27 2016, 09:28 PM) That idiot use my car's pic to degrade civic. Ironically my civic is free of problem ... fingers and toes crossed.I suspect the post is done up by competitors, not owners. That explains the need to use other people's picture. We are buying a pioneering batch car which is bound to have some niggling problems but bear in mind that it's a Honda. Being Japanese, they hold high regards of their work. |

QUOTE(GeekinE90 @ Aug 1 2016, 05:16 PM) The compression ration ratings we see in our spec sheet are initial compression ratios and not final compression ratios taking in account boost. For the 1.5T is considered pretty high at 10.6:1 which is why the car does not feel sluggish off the line without boost. In the past many Turbo 4's were running ~8:1 compression ratios and felt quite laggy off the boost. Bro, is 10:6:1 compression ratio same with 10:1?So the 1.5T's compression ratio is actually pretty high for a turbo car running 16.5 psi of max boost. It was designed that way to be more efficient as well. A little engineering marvel in terms of balancing thermal efficiency, high boost pressure, powerful and lightweight and compact. Most owners will pump RON97 for Euro4 low sulfur grade which should prolong oil life and internal engine cleanliness. According to ron vs compression chart, 10:1 need ron 100 but our civic can be pumped ron 91. |

QUOTE(kluseng @ Aug 14 2016, 10:26 AM) You should have changed to the spare tyre until you can find the proper tyre. It is advisable for both front tyres and both rear tyres to have the same thread pattern or handling may be affected especially in the wet. Having different patterns for front and rear should not be a problem. Did u get a full sized spare tire? |

QUOTE(ExHellSing @ Aug 14 2016, 12:50 PM) Just book a car today. 1.5TC Lunar Silver. I'm using raybarrier 4. Regretting it. Though the advertised TSER is quite high, I suspect the IRR is low. Almost felt like untinted at all during hot days. Sun glare felt unfiltered n can be annoying.My SA recommend i take ecotint Ray Barrier 4 / Ray Barrier 6 due to Honda warranty etc... Any better recommendation other than ecotint? |
