Nope. Happened during traffic jam. The sister (original driver) got out of the car to change drivers as she got tired. The brother just scooted over from the passenger seat to the driver side and accidently pressed the accelerator.

Imagine my surprise when the kancil hit the back of my car and I saw on the rear view mirror that the brother in the middle of the driver + passenger seats and a lady was standing outside of the driver door.

Seriously - I cannot brain this chain of events...

1. Passenger was lazy to get out of the car to change driver.
2. The driver didn't put the car on neutral when getting out of her car.
3. Changed drivers while on the "overtaking/fast lane" - even if it was during a standstill, it's still wrong.

Just my bad luck, I guess...

On a side note, I was on brake hold at the time - it performed admirably, the car only moved forward slightly - I didn't hit the car in front of me

Getting my 1.8 Ruby Red this Thu. What is the recommended tint? Raytech or LLumar? What about coating?

Appreciate if members in this forum can provide some contacts, preferably in Puchong.

Thanks!

Sorry to hear about that.. Good thing is nobody getting hurt.

Btw, anyone experiencing the clicking sound on dashboard? It sounds like a relay switching for me.. i experienced this recenty after just started the engine.. "click click click..." for around 20 sec then stop..again when drive slow 15km/h-25km/h, the clicking sound start again. After that it wont happen again until i start the engine again next time. some times hear the sounds but sometimes not.. but recently is happened quite frequently..

I had those click or tick sound often. Usually happens when i just started the engine and just started moving. Happens almost everytime during fresh start of engine.

But it will only happen during the first 2-3minute of the drive, and only have around 2-5 ticks. After that it won't happen again until you stop the engine.

What is the variant of your car? 1.8S, 1.5TC or 1.5TCP?
1 of the TCP owner here also experienced this problem.

1.5tc

don't think its a problem la.

im guessing all also like that.. the car is quiet at low speeds that's why u hear all sorts of clicking.

i can even hear the turbo spooling up/down at low speeds in very quiet neighborhood.

and the cvt whine...

and some sound of the compressor engaging disengaging..

and some sound of fluid moving around... (totally not sure what sound that is)

but its all normal...(according to HM la.)

when the chevy cruze came out they had to redesign the fuel lines because the car was sooo quiet you can hear the sound of the fuel being sucked into the engine.

our car still japunese... they not gonna R&D much into sound insulation vs contis..

they say civic benchmark vs A3... i never sit A3 before but A4 memang way way more refined compared to civic. but A4 cost almost 2x of a civic..

what is NOT normal is that damn rattling on the right side dashboard but no time to go fix it... hehe

Mine one start with 2-5 clicks too and i think is normal last time. Today certainly become severe..continuous may be more than 20 clicks every time when it happened and it happened along the way from my office to home...hmmmm...
1.5tcp
Eh...i think it is normal if for few clicks sound...but feel abnormal d when it continuous has this annoying sound for a long period of time..especially today it happened along the way when i back from office to my home.. i will monitor it again these few days..will get the SC help if really become very severe...

Oh. Was wondering... did u ever exceeded 50kmh during your trip?

Mine clicks a lot too. But funny is once I exceed 50kmh the clicking stops

I dunno if my clicking and your's related or not?

Congratulations on your new car. I just did Raytech yesterday. The shop is next to IOI. I just walked in the shop and got the deal for QX. 2k.

saw 1 tcp doing uber just now

I think either of these 2 would be an improvement over stock halogens. Though it would still be yellowish in light. If you want a whiter look, you can try Philips Diamond or Crystal Vision; but light output would be less

has anyone tried to order accessories from oversea like thailand?

will get held by customs for tax?

Just changed mine to Philips Crystal Vision 4300k. Looks better for me although still a bit yellowish vs DRL. Really cannot tahan the yellow light beside the LED DRL.  Overall feel slightly better lighting than Ori Halogen. Easy installation. I think is easier to remove the wire socket first then only the bulb. Sample for those who are looking for 4300k bulb

planning to get what acc   




yellowish white bulb definitely look a lot nicer, especially with cars like this that comes with projector ....

 

if wan nicer can go for HID kit
