I think it doesn't matter. The simple rule is:

1. You can afford it; and
2. Want to use it; and
2. The price is reasonable

Just buy it and use it.

Why? because since you are probably going to be using it daily, therefore the opportunity costs of waiting 2-3 months negates the possible savings anyway. Also,if you are selling an existing car to buy this one, there may be a possible drop in the sale price as well. Lastly, the quantum of discount is not known

just my 2 cents

Try flipping it around,

Trip A for every refuel,
Trip B for every startup

oh sorry, I thought u were the guy who had problems setting up the fuel counter - in the picture earlier

Well... with that kind of jam, I think any car FC also will be pretty bad unless its hybrid.

I think the maintenance table was completed a long time ago, when I got my car in June. Quick check, and it's there. https://www.honda.com.my/model/maintenance/civic?id=62

As for the engine, as one of the few lucky ones who got their cars first, bought without proper test drive, can say no issues at all. No overheat bla bla bla. I have been using it as a daily driver for 5 months now.

Just some common build quality rattle noise, which can be rectified. I think if there is anything to be even a least bit concerned about is probably with headunit/AC as experienced by some of our members. Nobody really experienced anything bad with the engine in itself.

Only thing I don't like about the engine is the variability of service interval. Because I'm always stuck in traffic, I may have to service my car earlier than 10k mark because of the way the oil change alert system works.

Why don't they just change the oil filter along with the oil? it goes together anyway. Nobody so free to go 2x in 6 months

most efficient way is to press on the on/off button. Instant off.

Else, I just use the slider... easiest way without reaching out.
