Don't think HM will recall for it, only settle it with owners who are making serious complaints because only some owners having this issue and wondering why other some are not affected?

Very good deal. Will grab it if i were u.

That's why they give 5 years warranty, give and take, business strategy

Need to trade in car with them?

Use touch up paint to cover it. U may get scratches again, next time respray the whole bumper.

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.

How old is your dad's FD1? as i know FD1 price has dropped very much since after new civic come out.

New facelift civic won't be soon coming out. If your dad can get FD1 sold at higher price, should consider to buy current one since now year end got huge discount for civic.

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.

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. 95% city drive with traffic jam is about 9-10 only.

both also provide 5 years warranty.

go for 1.5t if you need more power (turbo) & leather seat.

problem for both variants normally caused by QC of Honda Malaysia, can be rectified so depend on your luck.

you loan how much & how many years? why interest offered so much different from different bank/finance?

How is 1.8 ride? Give us more review..

When i go pump petrol, i take the key with me, leave the passenger inside the car, problem is the car will auto lock if i walk away, and since passenger inside the car so will trigger the alarm.

What should i do if i wanna take the key with me but also leave the passenger inside the car in this case?

Not an ideal solution every time go petrol station need to disable walk away auto lock feature.

This is something need to improve on walk away features.

Useful info. Will try it by referring the manual. thanks

Should always bring the key with you (for security) - let me check whether can switch off the motion sensor mentioned by @Gyno.
It would be the best if it can be done, walk away auto lock will activate while your passenger is inside but will not trigger the alarm.

2017 manufactured got rebate or discount by your SA?

Tested. It works by turn off the motion sensor (after off engine) while passenger inside car and I am pumping the petrol, walk away auto lock activated, no alarm sound triggered.

When u start the engine, the motion sensor will auto on back.
