Below your Start/Stop engine button, there should be a P with green light on it..
It is on by default..

BY default the plate number by Honda is not attractive enough.

those euro kind plate number is not JPJ compliance right? how much is that especiallt those metal kind?

thinking of changing mine tho.

mine only beep when near to obstacle

Found it! Thanks mate

Somebody turned it off?

Gotcha! Thanks.

Geneo


Thank you for the review.
Definitely will change to ps4. but now wallet a bit dry.
Maybe wait until mc5 wear out first only change.
MC5 also not bad mah, on par with primacy 3 st iinm.
Since road in kota kinablau, mostly wont go over 80-90kmph, MC5 is really good enough.

However, I tried to do big corner at 130-140kph, the tyre looses its grip, have to slow down till 100 only acceptable.

thanks for the review

32psi is ngam ngam, a bit soft to me.
I just 34 psi all the way.

Bro u from kota kinabalu also ?

Wow. Finally got the time to make comparison..

As some know that previously, I drove a 2014 Mazda 3 Skyactiv CBU and sold it 3 weeks ago to get a Honda Civic 1.5TCP.

Sidetrack abit, why I sold the car is because it was stolen in October last year.

When the car found in March, I was happy because against all odds, manage to found it but after drove for 6 months, realized the feeling is not the same anymore.

Some ask me what is the difference between the 2. Here's my 2 cent:-

Driving Position:

a. Driver side

Getting into Civic, feels slight different from Mazda 3. Because Mazda 3 with longer bonnet, sometimes is very difficult to maneuver through tight parking lots. I often got scratches on the side due to wrong estimation. And viewing from driver side doesn't helps. So if you park in tight spot, make sure you clearly know the length of the bonnet. Civic on the other hand is shorter and surprisingly, easy to maneuver and estimate the length.

Unfortunately, the side mirror of Civic has disadvantage. Due to no gap in between side mirror to door, I need to sit up straight to see whether I'm turning correctly, especially in tight corner, trying to avoid knocking the hump on side road. Mazda 3 on the other hand got a gap, which allows me to see the distance. This is good as you know Malaysian roads some doesn't have an sign indicator of the hum is.

Steering is good for both cars as both also with leather but I found the Civic stitching a bit rough. Maybe because of CBU, Mazda 3 feels refine and premium feel when holding, especially the stitching part. Instrumental panel is good for both cars, but Civic wins with digital instrumental panel. Side panels such as windows and door locks are different for both. Mazda 3 is tilted 45 degree to give the driver's finger easy reach the window buttons when resting on the door panel but at the expense of feeling cramp. Civic on the other hand is flat 180 degree, gives a "spacious" feeling. Although felt the same for space for both cars, my passenger felt the civic is more spacious (Maybe Civic remove the CD player?) and surprisingly, felt the car height is higher than Mazda 3.. Whaaaaaaat?

Infotainment is essential to modern cars, especially to connect Spotify of course. But Mazda 3 HU is easy to use. The OS is simple, clean and requires 2-3 steps to access the apps. Civic on the other hand, requires more than 3 steps and sometimes, require user to select the command using touch screen. Although sounds simple, try the touch screen while driving above 60km/h, you noticed your finger aiming accuracy is a challenge. Mazda 3 on the other hand disable touch functions and require user to use the BMW I-Drive like knob. Also, it was easy and intuitive to maneuver the menu. Volume knob in Mazda 3 is simple and easy to reach. Civic on the other hand uses touch sensitive.. Cool but not really practical while driving.

b. Passenger Side

Surprisingly, Passenger claimed Civic is bigger and easier to sit on compared to Mazda 3. I don't understand why but sure is weird since Civic is lower. Rear sits for Mazda 3 is not match with Civic. No contest at all. Seat on the other hand, Civic feels hard while Mazda 3 feels soft, even my Mazda 3 was leather wrap outside, but feel comfortable. Civic is good but a bit hard..

c. Small features.

Civic offers remote start so you can warm up the engine and start the air cond. Sounds cool at first but after few try, decided not to because.. Mazda 3 offer I-Stop function that paused the engine when it detects stop. Personally, I prefer Brake Hold because I-Stop feels jerky, rough and can be annoying. Also, you need different batteries for I-stop and price can range to RM650 per battery, which last 20,000 km est. Even with my CBU with I-Eloop, didn't help much.

Navigation, Mazda 3 uses SatNav, which no idea what it is but Civic uses more familiar brand, Garmin. Although Garmin, I often uses Google Maps than Garmin because most places are not updated in navigation system. Using Bluetooth connection to phone, I found Mazda 3 sound is clearer and crisp. Civic on the other hand sound blurry and distortion. Maybe because of CBU..

Walk-Away features is available for both cars. Mazda 3 has a shorter transmission for Walk Away and can be annoying. When I got down from driver side, walk until the back booth, it locks, causing me to unlock again. Civic has a further transmission, gives me more to go the passenger side. However, the beep sound of lock, Mazda 3 is at the front bonnet, while Civic is on the rear bonnet.

So far, that's all but if ask me of engine performance, honestly, both feel the same but Civic feels more power because its a turbo. However, I feel Mazda 3 is slightly more fuel efficient, pumping 41L, gives me 480-500km mileage with 90% on city drive (if you count LDP traffic jam as city) Civic on the other hand gives me 460-490km mileage with 90% on city..

Handling.. Mazda 3 wins.

So if you ask me, which is better..

That is a hard question. If you watch Youtube channel like Autoguide, Redline, Everyman etc. I think I'm same thinking..

Mazda 3 is for sporty, fun on cornering drive, whereas Civic is for daily, comfort drive.

That's all. Excuse me for my English.

Takes how long to reach Malaysia? Do you know shipping cost approx how much? Not really good in writing chinese, need my friend to help. Thanks

During dry situation MC5 is good enough, MC5 weakness appears during wet road situation. But if just a daily drive user in town seldom speed up to 160km/h and mostly speed on 110-120km/h MC5 is more than enough to support for both wet and dry situation. PS4 Just worth to upgrade for spirited driver not to say the best for street race but more than enough for street race *never try to race on street

Tried before 32 33 34 35 psi on my previous car tyre Michelin XM2 i just feel the same on handling but not using nitrogen gas. The technician in tyre shop fill 32psi for me during i change my tyre so maybe will maintain for few month then only go to refill and see the difference

Great review

Paid booking fees last Thursday and car was ready to be collected by Wednesday. Was busy so just collected the car yesterday in the evening. Black 1.5TC here 🙂

However am very disappointed with the rattling sound at the dashboard (yes most probably the driver side. Pretty sure there's another at different place). 5km drive and there is a rattling sound is such a 💔

My gut feeling tells me that the rattling sound is caused by the right tweeter. Let me try to identify and keep u guys updated.

(Note to self: nvr buy a ckd unit again)

Any place booking recently? Need to wait long for delivery?

A pillar , left right
Dashboard, left right

Lastly is the steering got buzzz sound

I've noticed this too. Don't know if it was there since new but noticed it about 2weeks after driving the car. Only rattles when driving over bumpy kampung roads or those brick roads like in TTDI. It's very minimal though (ie. gotta turn off the radio and AC to actually hear it) but still disheartening.

I know we're not the only ones to encounter this. Anyone here managed to sort it out at the SC?

I managed to.
Left steering now

what they did to rectify the rattling?

Idk they just said fixed
most probably opened up and check again

Mine is steering too 😓

Got any video can share on the sound? I'm not sure whether is rattling sound or not.

No wor. Hard to capture the sound as it will occur on bumpy roads. Besides its a bit dangerous as well 😅

Anyway im just blasting the speakers so i dont hear em anymore

Sorry to see this bro. IINM the tyre is around 400, the rim if dented and affect balance, would cost around 150 to repair. Did you hit anything on the road which caused the puncture? How fast were you driving?
