hi all, i still unable to decide to book for HRV 1.8v or Civic 1.8NA or Civic 1.5TCP. The only thing i like about the HRV is the magic seat and slightly higher view from myvi. And I read some hrv are facing the noise from the rear axle.

While for civic, i still feel skeptical about Honda turbo engine. lol. So far, may i know any civic mileage has been clocked more than 10k? and any issue has been detected? Plan to make booking by this sunday o latest on next saturday. Plan to get it as wedding car.

Thanks.

I am one of the people who chg from hrv to civic.
Hrv basically, a beefed up jazz. duno u like or not lah.

1.5TC/TCP got leather seat, so no need go outside wrap again.
and much more powerful than hrv.  nod.gif

qc wise...duno what to say.

I agreed on the hrv part...

for the civic turbo, my real concern is on their engine reliability and the maintenance. I believe the maintenance table in Honda Malaysia website for the civic turbo is still incomplete. Correct me if I am wrong.

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.

Yes, I am referring to the same source of maintenance table. If I compare it between the 1.5 turbo and 1.8 NA, it seems like it is more expensive to service the 1.8NA than the 1.5 turbo. That is the reason why I think the maintenance table is incomplete. I asked the salesman and my friend who juz got his 1.5TC 2 weeks ago, both of them telling me the same thing that the maintenance table is incomplete. On the service interval, the salesman did told me same thing. If the car always stuck in traffic jam, then the owner will need to service the civic earlier than the 10k interval.
