Wanna confirm 1 thing from Civic 1.5TC user , is that if we start the car without move , the oil life actually will drop too ?

Yes. If you're stuck in a jam, the oil life will drop regardless if you're moving or not. Engine oil will detiorate when not moving because of the heat generated (car not moving = no airflow to the engine).

The brake hold button should be placed at steering wheel instead on the right now position..

4. Rattling sound while at low speed on the right side of the dashboard

Guys Pls advice!!!! Very annoying

Same here !!!!!

Ok noted, i get average 77-87km with econ on and when econ off around 66km , i wonder how u guys make the KM over the oil life

no. i seldom use brake hold but still steering wheel not a good place for brake hold.
and i dont like the button feeling on the steering wheel too

Hey guys,

I am in the market for a new car, so far its between the civic Top Spec Turbo and the High Spec Mazda 3 (waiting for the facelift with g vectoring)

I would like to know what are the problems and issues that you face with the honda civic 10th gen? I tried to go through the threads, but there are too many pages.. Hope that all of you can help me out. Thank you

1st post says it all

its all at the first page bro....
mazda3 more exp roadtax but lesser power

personally think it should placed at picture shown:
[/url]

Having the same issue..will send to SC when due for service.
Check at 1st page on the issue reported by other is the clip/socket was not in right position or lose. Hopefully the SC can rectify it and not just layan me.

Walau..

Like tat oso got..

Hey guys,

I have been looking around for good deals, what is the best rebate offer that is available right now? If anyone here has been looking around lately? thanks. for Civic 1.5 THP

Civic already comes with Agile Handling Assist (g vectoring equivalent) as standard equipment.

Agile Handling Assist
A Civic first and standard on all trims, Agile Handling Assist selectively uses the vehicle's brakes to improve initial turning response and overall cornering ability. Agile Handling Assist utilizes brake vectoring to improve corner traceability and confident handling feel. By applying braking force to the inside wheels during cornering at high lateral G, the system creates a yaw moment, thus generating more turning force and reducing understeer.

At first i though of mazda3 new facelift too, but somehow i stil like the look of civic, it look modern seriously compared to the same segment car now, it even comparable with accord/camry i would say , if u park civic between them, u hardly tell that its a C segment car

Mazda3 somehow with skyactive technology, the handle i think should be better than civic by 1 level maybe? I only eyeing on CX5 or Mazda6 if i would like to purchase 1 mazda, for sure bo body can answer u how reliable is that 1.5tc cvt for honda , but i hope that it really wont bring much problem in future as i don wan my pocket break a big hole

Some clarification regarding to engine oil deterioration :
1) from reduced detergency due to the soot produced from combustion, the pollutants in the air and also the microscopic metalic shavings from the internal components
2) from reduced acidity neutralizers from the acidic residual from combustion (due to sulfur in fuel) and also the internal components (if too much moisture is present in the engine oil due to constant cold starts/short drives)
3) from fuel dilution where unburnt fuel/incomplete combustion from cold starts/prolonged idling, this reduces the lubrication properties
4) from being burnt during combustion as there's a very thin oil film on the cylinder lining during the up and down motion of the pistons
5) from the engine oil molecules shearing/break apart due to too high pressure/temperature

These are the main ones, but only 1, 2 and 3 are of more concern to everyday motorists. So even if the engine is totally off, the there will acidic residues that need to be mopped up by the acidity regulators in the engine oil. That's the reason why there's something call "oil change interval"

Civic type is the industry norm which uses the brakes as a form of torque vectoring.

Mazda's G-Vectoring Control (GVC) takes thing into a new territory by controlling/adjusting the torque through the spark plug timing, not brakes. And unlike what the industry norm, GVC is active the moment the steering angle is changed and the ECU will take into account speed, throttle position and steering angle to calculate the optimum retardation required.

Brake actuated torque vectoring only comes active when slip is detected.

Timing wise, the Skyactiv engine and transmission is already on the 5th year in Japan and international home markets. From what i read around for all these while, there is not much major issues till date. The Honda 1.5T engine is relatively new though, only approaching 2nd year of use.

Not to say that I side Mazda or bash Honda, but if reliability is your concern, the time in market is a good indicator But both are Japanese, so both rather reliable perception wise.

Yes. It's wind sound from door.

Price? And wouldn't warranty be void?

What is the best tinted for my Civic X? and the estimation price?
