I bought the 1.8, and to be honest I am worry unable to afford the 1.5t in long run.  I did regret and jelly those 1.5t.

My view on whoever bought 1.8 is more practical and budget concern. It is wise choice considering no big difference except different engine but 1.8 is powerful enough.

In fact i bought 1.5t when i see 1.8 on the road driving side by side with me, i feel they are more worthy with the price they've paid and they don't need to worry with the new issues popping out for 1.5 turbo engine and maintenance etcs.

hmm.. i think some of us confuse the services structure. Different SC got different explanation on the services concept.

For example:-
a) Some SC will insist the owner to service the engine oil together with mileage services although the owner just done service engine oil not long ago.

b) Some SC will let owner decide what kind of service the owner needed either just mileage services or engine oil only. But will give best advise to the owner.

SA and SC telling me different way of services. So i also not sure who to trust.

Maybe some of the owner here can check with their SC or SA when they send their car for services. At least give other owner or future owner have clear concept on it.

Well, this is my personal thinking. biggrin.gif

Understand that 1.5tc fuel consumption is lower than 1.8s, may I know what's the average fuel consumption you get for 1.8s model? Any 1.8 owner can share their fc?

Actually not to bad for rm14k, you get:

1) lower roadtax
2) lower fuel consumption
3) faster speed
4) nice rims and leather seat

IMO, is worth it. I bought the 1.8 because I heard a lot of overheating issue at Thai during my purchase. Even my SA which is a close friend told me it might affect MY. So, I choose 1.8 worry free. However, I been driving quite some time and I never heard any overheating issues in Malaysia.

The only issue that i had is when the car on idling or stopped, it is vibrating but very minor that i can feel it.
I suspect there is loose hose that cause it, but when check with SC, they claimed it is normal for this civic, again it come back to QC of Honda Malaysia, as for consumer like us, no choice have to keep complaining to SC since it has 5 years warranty - problem is they normally will push away the small issues if they can that ended up you will bear with the small issues until it become big problem then only they will get it solved for you.

The biggest challenge is after 5 years which is no warranty covered, it will cost a lot to maintain 1.5t civic. I will choose 1.8 if i wanna drive it for 10 years. 1.5T civic i probably will sell if after 5 years depends on its reliability.

Yes, they are the same.
Engine oil treatment should not be used during engine break-in period which is the first few thousand km.
Generally, if used during the first oil change at about 10k km, should be ok.

You bought your car from Sumber Auto in PJ?
I did and they gave 6 free engine oil treatment to be used when changing oil.
I think the SC know what they are doing.  smile.gif (But no harm questioning them when the time comes)
However, I have not decided whether I will use this free engine oil treatment or not. I will decide at my first Service A.

yea bro, sumber auto too.
just worry it will hurt the engine and turbo charger based on the faq at 1st page

QUOTE(ciklan @ Nov 25 2016, 01:11 AM)
I went to Honda showroom in October with the intention of booking 1.8 but i left that day with the booking of 1.5TC. Factors for choosing the later:
1. The loan interest is quite attractive so that i can opt for additional 10K loan without adding too much into my monthly installment budget.
2. The leather seat is a must for me since my son is allergic to dust.
3. 17 inches rim looks way better.

That was my logic when i did the booking. Since I was driving Honda Insight for daily commutes, I did not think I need the 1.5TC power since I was driving very light-footed and since I used to own Civic FD1, i think 1.8 power is enough.

I did not regret my decision now since 1.5TC is fun to drive. I do not spent most of my time driving in the right most lane (like the majority of Civic FC owners that I have encountered on the road) but there power is there when i need it. Even with econ mode on, going uphill or overtaking on highways can be done rather effortless.

Just my 2 cents.

Never thought i needed the power too. I came from a Viva, so the 1.8 would be more than powerful enough. But like yourself, couldn't stomach the fabric seats. Ended up with the 1.5. I have a very uncle driving style, but I have to say the way the powertrain is tuned, it makes overtaking very effortless. The extra power also helps when you're coming out of a junction or merging into traffic; quick traffic especially. And if you drive like an auntie, you'll get 14-15km/l.

Thr way I see it, win win. Hehe. Apart from the extra purchase price and the weird servicing schedule. smile.gif

QUOTE(v88 @ Nov 25 2016, 07:07 AM)
1.8 is worth buying for the specs atthough it is fabric. It depends on your budget, i will go for it if i come from previous  car is not honda, and 1.8 engine is reliable engine that been used for many years.

Guys, thank you for the feedback. Has anyone here did install the LED headlamp on your 1.8 or 1.5TC? Is it costly to do so?

IMO, any modifications done on the car itself consider as warranty void whether it is plug and play or not...

Plug and play is technical, warranty is policy... bruce.gif

Saw someone on one of the FC facebook groups had them installed. If I remember correctly, costs the guy RM3-4k. So, if you want the lights, go for the TC-P.
