I got. Same like other K&N products.

You don't feel anything but acceleration improves.

Wait. You talking about 1.5TC? Cause mine is 1.5TC.
*
yes mine is 1.5TC.. if it does improve then good investment.. no need to change filter at SC.. how much u bought and where?

Yupe, like the fact that it has power and torque at lower rpm range but at the same time driver needs to drive sensibly. With recent /k post civic is reputable as 'Ah Beng' while the actual car is actually more grown up and matured. I always see this car as mini-D segment.
*
couldnt agree more.. i think the reputable and class hold by civic is getting tarnish.. be cool guys, save the turbo for the best.. thumbup.gif

Oh, now I get what you meant, it takes around 1 week for the refund - directly banked into my account in my case.

Only oil life. Preventative maintenance can also befollowing the oil life, or normal 10k/6months. Go read FAQ on 1st post.

Once u compound and glaco , u should be not using ur wiper anymore , i not sure it will effect wiper rubber or not , because i also first time using soft 99 product , previously using rain X which after 1-2 wash or with wiper keep on , it can't repell water well already  bangwall.gif

i was rain X user before and quite satisfy, apply only once a month.. that bottle finish, aeon no stock end up beli waxco.. result? terrible.. 1 heavy rain and u use ur wiper, the layer gone.. im also eyeing soft99 glaco from lazada.. what attract me the most is the bottle form, super easy to use, come with sponge on top.. like school shoe whitener.. is the result impressive?

So guys, I finally got my Black TC-P yesterday. Driven about 50km so far.
This is my observation based on personal experience.

Sales:
I've only had very bad experiences with Honda sales staff however the SA whom I got the car from was refreshingly different. I must give him a thumbs up. Even my very particular gf was impressed with the way he handled everything.

QC:
There is some room for improvement. I did notice the gap between the hood and fender on the driver's side is slightly smaller than the passenger side but the variation is so small that I'm not gonna bother asking for it to get fixed. I didn't even notice it until my SA pointed it out and told me it's within Honda's tolerance levels. Everything else is ok. Looks like the SA actually checked everything before delivering the car to me and ran through it all again with me at the Showroom. I hope it stays that way.

Driving Experience:
Pros:
1. This bugger is fast. I was on the highway on the way back and simply rested my right foot a little bit so I can overtake the car in front, next thing I know I was doing 120kmh. This is a huge difference when compared to my previous car, a Peugeot 408 2.0. Now I've got Econ mode on just to give me some time to adjust to the way this car drives. With Econ mode, the throttle response feels like my previous car.
2. The ride comfort is very impressive too. This car has a firmer suspension than my previous car and I was tightening up my muscles each time I approached a bump or rough road only to be pleasantly surprised at the way it absorbed everything. Really impressed.
3. Fuel economy is also pretty good so far. Need to continue driving for a bit to see the real figures.
4. It is spacious! I'm tall and I was pleasantly surprised when I sat in the back seat behind the driver's seat. There's even room for me to stretch my legs a bit.
5. The A/C is pretty good. Don't know why but it feels so much better than my previous ride, even in the back seat.

Cons:
1. Road noise is really bad. It's quiet at speeds below 60kmh but after that, you can hear the drone from the tires clearly. Wind noise is also quite bad. Is there any solution to this? This is the only real gripe I have.
2. The door opening is small and roof is low. My passengers kept struggling and bumping their head on the roof when getting in and out. Not complaining about this one. I got the car knowing this would be an issue.

you are mean to your old peugeot.. haha rclxs0.gif
