By d way, i just collected my car today (23/11/2016) and send it directly to Regal Valet for coating, the guy over there use their spotlight to show me a hand palm size watermark on my right hand side bumper. According to them this might be a

1. repaint job (only repaint that part)
2. the bumper base painting (white painting) is not done properly
But anyhow it cannot be seen using bare eye.

Called my SA, he say they never re-spray my car in their branch as the car only reached on Monday (21/11/2016) evening. He claim Honda factory will not respray too because if there is problem they will replace the whole bumper before coming out from factory. Asked me to send back to them to check and they will submit a report/complaint to HQ to replace a new bumper for me

A defect, clearly.

Probably stockyard/delivery had some issue and they patched it up without doing a proper job.

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.

yup, it is fun. smile.gif

That's all I can say after speeding on highway, for city driving, not much to comment.
