My initial review of the car after i got my car yesterday. Mileage around 50km then terus go test on highway. Full throttle all the way until reach 180km/h then release and go back to 90km/h.
Really can't believe the power come from a tiny 1.5. So far some rattling under steering plastic trim there suspect is internal wiring or socket hitting the plastic when going uneven road.
Stock speaker is really bad. My old 2012 vios dugong stock speaker is better than this. Richer and deeper bass and steady mid and high without distortion even at high volume. Maybe need to tune the equalizer???
Rear view mirror is too small. Really small can't even see the rear view when reversing but thank god there is reverse cam to help out.
Parking straight up is extremely difficult. Front part too long and side curve line make it hard to see in front when parking. Why honda don't include front parking sensor?? Anyway that's my personal complain.
Sound insulation is decent, not much road noise (maybe car still brand new).
Aircond blower too strong even at the lowest speed.
Opening and closing doors need a little extra effort to do so. Petite girl will find it hard to open and close the door. Gentlemen, is your showtime.

All and all, it is a decent car for what the price i'm paying for in this segment.

Comrades. i notice a funny thing on the fuel gauge and mileage count. It happened yesterday.

Afternoon i got the low fuel warning and i continued to drive until left 42km... I went to petrol station and pump RM10, the low fuel warning still there and mileage didn't increased. I was expecting the low fuel warning will goes away and i get a new mileage countdown. Fuel gauge maintained at same low position.

In the evening when I drove back from office, the mileage continue drop to 32km with low fuel warning, the stop at petrol station and pump RM10 again. The funny thing is the low fuel warning and mileage count still the same despite i pump total RM20? Fuel gauge maintained at same low position.  doh.gif  doh.gif

Then i continue drive again, the mileage continue drop until 28km, then I go pump RM10 again. After pumped, the fuel gauges suddenly went to half tank and mileage increased to 270km  confused.gif  confused.gif

This is so weird

It the first place, why would anyone went to petrol station 3 times in a day just to pump RM30 of petrol? LOL

Sorry to barge in guys; but these clicks are they just persistent throughout the drive? Reason I'm asking is because I hear these clicks from the steering wheel area but they're only when I just start the car. Then they go away. So, I'm wondering if what I have is the same problem as you guys or even a problem at all in the first place.

I also have this "click click" sound whenver i start the car and start moving, after that no sound at all. It only appear every time i start the car and start moving.

Firstly, the Civic is a Low Pressure Turbo or soft turbo unlike most other turbos which are HPT's.

So pumping BHP Infiniti Advanced 2X RON95 should be good enuf. Their fuel generally sits between Euro 3 and Euro 4 while all other RON95 fuels in the market currently are Euro 2. The median average its sulphur content is about 131ppm (Euro 3 is 150ppm while Euro 5 is 50ppm). Some batches of BHP's RON95 fuel was even tested to be only 12ppm which is almost Euro 5 standard (10ppm).

Secondly, a significant number of Civic owners would not be keeping their cars beyond 7 yrs as most Civic buyers are from the mid 20's to early 30's category and this category of owners are likely to change or upgrade after 5-7 yrs.

So all in all, my personal opinion is that looking at the current price of RON97 vs the potential benefits, it makes clear economical sense to stick to RON95.

Civic turbo is not a low pressure turbo. The TD03 turbo unit is small, but it boost up to 16.5 PSI on stock when WOT. It is counted as high boost for a small turbo. Not to mention L15 engine itself has a high compression ratio, same as NA characteristic, combine with high pressure small turbo, thus you get high torque at lower revs thanks to smaller turbo spool up faster.
Low pressure turbo can be found on preve, which is BorgWarner unit.
