Don't get the tempered one. I ordered mine from taobao, cost me only 8bux. But I can't get it to stick properly on our screen cause I feel like our screen is a bit curve and the border can't stick properly. Going to get a normal screen protector. Someone mentioned here that we are not going to drop our HU, so tempered is not necessary, which I think is very true. 😂😂

I used tempered, initially it cant stick properly at the border, but over the time, it will stick by itself, maybe malaysia weather is hot, so it got itself "adjusted"

Been driving civic for quite a while and first time driving cvt car, and I find that the paddle shifter is unless when pairing with cvt gearbox, basically when u downshifting, it don't slow down your car much like normal auto gearbox, the rpm just hitting high but don't feel the lower gears pulling your car.. I guess it proved that cvt actually don't have gears at all.. I miss my old car's 5AT when doing downshifting..

I think you are spot on. Agree with you. I test drove the Civic the other day and really liked how it drove. Powerful, smooth, can coast easily. So I wanted to find out how are other LYN forumers experience in this thread.

So far have found:

aircon leaking?
battery fails early, as soon as 5 months
cvt grinding sound on hot restart
burning smell when driving fast? someone said is from tires
rattling sound aircond vent area at driver side - window rubber / door rubber didnt place properly
centre display screen burnt
parts gapping - sometimes gap is too big
tilt sensor blinking
" I pressed the break pedal and want to start the engine. But instead of starting, it's cycling through the accessories and on state without starting. Had to release and press the break pedal again before it can start. Weird."
head unit need to reboot sometimes

Even quite a number of FC club members on facebook have a bunch of CVT issues. Gearbox replaced because of  weird intermittent grinding sound during startup.
I will probably wait until Honda fixes all these issues first. Perhaps Honda's QC is dropping because they are rushing to fulfill a backlog of orders.

everyone is different, for me just drive the car for 5 years until warranty finished, change car and move on. all the above issues are come from all of individual case, if you kena all of them, you are consider very very bad luck....

hold on your purchase, 8 speed DCT is coming : https://www.carlist.my/news/japanese-market...peed-dct/45905/

During Honda Meeting 2017 that happened last week, the company showcased some interesting models, including what Honda calls "Dynamic Study", which is based on the current Honda Civic. According to Honda, the biggest change under the hood is the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), replacing the Civic's continuously variable transmission (CVT). The combination of the 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo and eight-speed DCT is similar to that of the China-market Acura CDX. Expected to be released in the Japanese market later this year as a 2018 model, the eight-speed DCT boasts a physical size of a regular five-speed torque converter automatic transmission. Compared to regular torque converter automatics, the eight-speed DCT is able to achieve a 15% improvement in power delivery and 8% more fuel efficient. To add a tinge of sportiness, the DCT is able rev-match upon downshifting when S mode is selected. Underneath, Honda engineers have reworked the rear subframe of the Civic. New for the "Dynamic Study" model is the high rigidity rear subframe, which is able to balance between handling and ride comfort. Bending stiffness of the body is now 57% stiffer and torsional strength is 25% stiffer than the current Civic. On top of that, steering response and brake pedal have been recalibrated. All these improvements are trickled down from what the engineers learnt whilst developing the hotter Civic Type R.
