Ouch... Looks like you hit the kerb while trying to park from the front?

Added, but I must say that recently it's been all WOP... Where are the other colours? Nobody wants anymore ka?

Nice. Is your RS spoiler genuine? How much did you pay for it?

Dah beli + modified baru perasan?

Yes, that was one of the main gripes we had with the car. I'm really not sure why Honda Malaysia didn't include it. I'm sure it won't really affect the costing much...

I only used the fold down seats (only my old FD2) when I was heavily into cycling. Now, with my bad back, I can't really cycle, so not using it anymore.

Really? Need to feel the downshift to feel sporty? Try racing a stock FD2 and stock FC1 side by side and see who gets to 200km/h faster.

FC1 is Civic 1.5T bro... and yes, it has paddle shift. No real need actually for paddle shift as the CVT always keep the engine rev in the best power band.

As I said, put a Civic 1.5T and Civic 2.0 side by side, overtaking on highway, 1.5T will always win. I used to own an FD2 from 2011 to 2016 and the FC1 outclasses it in every way.

FD2 is 5AT bro... What 6AT are you talking about? Do you even have the FD2? LOL! Have you even tried the FC1 car? Turbo lag is extremely minimal, and you can only feel it if you mash on the accelerator hard. The Civic X 1.8 is FC2.

Ok la... As I said, I owned the FD2 for 5 years previously, so I'm in a position to review both I really loved the FD2 - up until I saw the FC1 launch in the US, I knew I had to buy it. I even booked the car in February 2016 - way before the Malaysian launch

My previous car, Honda Civic 2011 Concept M. Happy I bought this earlier, instead of the dismal FB...

It's just a chassis code... Most models are not available in Malaysia though. Some examples are listed below:

FG (2 Door Coupe, Civic 8th Gen and above)
FN (3 Door Hatchback, Civic 8th Gen and above)
FK (5 Door Hatchback, Civic 8th Gen and above)

EG/EH (4 Door Sedan, Civic 5th Gen)
EJ/EK (4 Door Sedan, Civic 6th Gen)
ES (4 Door Sedan, Civic 7th Gen)
FD (4 Door Sedan, Civic 8th Gen)
FB (4 Door Sedan, Civic 9th Gen)
FC (4 Door Sedan, Civic 10th Gen)

Sorry if I come out that way, not my intention to make fun of you. Civic FC is faster than FD2 bro, no matter straight line, winding roads or uphill. FD2R or heavily modified FD2 using K24 engines is another matter altogether where those high RPM NA engines will be better than small cc turbo. That's why I say if a stock vs stock, the new FC will (nearly) always beat the old FD.

Actually, I also had this problem, until I found out that my petrol station tyre pump was pumping in too much air so, check your pressure in the morning, and fill it up properly. 220kpa for all tyres, and you'll feel that the FC is a lot more stable. It was like 270kpa when I got it, and the faulty tyre pump was filling in about 250kpa...

TT session in Johor and Central region this week. Do join us if you can:

This is just my opinion la, but I feel more confident to drive at 200km/h with the FC. You can really feel the acceleration is better & faster on the FC.

FD top speed is 222km/h, but GPS would only log it at 212km/h iirc. FC top speed is 207km/h, but you can actually feel that it can go higher - it's limited electronically, and feel as if you're not pressing the accelerator GPS would log it at 203km/h iirc.

Cornering on the FD is slightly better though, but I would attribute it to the tyres (Pilot Sport 3 vs MaxContact). I'm planning to change my tyres to Pilot Sport 4 by the end of the year - so I'll test the cornering performance then.

It means that the system is not armed. Read the FAQ in 1st page. Basically when you get out of the car and close the door. Walk away slowly, even if you're only moving to the back to your car. Wait for the single beep first - this means that the remote is still near the car, and the car confirms that everything is ready to be locked down. If you then open and close the boot, you won't hear the beep again, but the car will lock once you move away from the car.

If you hear the multiple beeps, either open and close one of the doors again and wait for the single beep, or press the lock button on the remote.

AFAIK, that is the consequence of using an underpowered car. The Civic (1.8 & 1.5TC) is definitely not underpowered... Only do this on Kancil 660 or fully loaded Avanza 1.3 etc where the engine would not have enough torque to sufficiently pull the car on a steep hill.

Just leave the signal stalk alone until it stops blinking. It only takes 2 seconds at the most for the 3 blinks to flash

-Update-
On a separate note, anybody wants to become next thread starter for our LYN Civic X Community?

Why are you downgrading your car from CX 5 2.5 to these 4? Just stay with it if you're happy with it.

Bro, better go test drive both. All cars have their pros and cons. I settled on TC-P and never regretted having it. Yes there are a few niggling QA issues, but lemme know if you get a car which does not have any issues at all.

Just drive off slowly. No need to wait until the engine warms up. You are only wasting fuel & polluting the environment. Just keep your revs below 2500 rpm while waiting the engine to properly warm up.

Changing my tyres tomorrow to Michelin PS4 215/50/R17 for RM595 each in JB... KL can get better prices think.

Anyone else changed their tyres?

Changed mine for RM570 (excl GST) expensive I know, but that is the best price so far that I can find in JB. First impressions - rolling noise is similar to CMC5. Didn't drive hard for now since only used about 20KM will review more after I have driven it more than a week.

Where are you based bro? If JB I can recommend my SA. 2K discount now.

CX5 should be compared to CRV. HRV should be compared to CX3.
