Gratz bro!

Me too - 99.9% of the time on eco mode. Only turn off eco when overtaking on 2 lane trunk roads.

Additional things to check:
Gaps between body parts
Exhaust tips leveling
Paint surface quality (make sure you collect during day time when there is lots of light)
Water droplets in headlight / side marker / tail light (normal within first few days, abnormal if present every time it rains)
Steering wheel leather

Time to chase your SA bro!

Can. Not an issue at all. But need to set the HU bluetooth to connect with the phone that you want to use Android Auto / Waze. Not just connect the cable only.

Extremely subjective. Can be 0km (idling 100% of the time) to 850km (constant speed on the highway at 90-110km/h). Average is 550km in my case.

Both do police report. Take note of his IC and Number Plate. Time and place of accident. Take photos. If you kena hit, and not your fault, you won't be summoned by the police.

Go to the Police Traffic Station for the accident location. Meet the Investigating Officer - ask him nicely to do the Traffic Accident report quickly - may need to grease hands a bit around RM50 to get it immediately. If not, may take up to 2 weeks.

After that, go to your preferred Honda SC and give them your police report, Traffic Accident Report by the IO, your insurance covernote. Ask to do OD-KFK.

If your car is OK, just use it for the time being while the insurance processing takes place - about 1-2 weeks. When the parts are available, bring in your car for repairs. If your car is drivable, I highly recommend you to not leave your car there for too long. Better use it while the insurance is processing and parts are all available.

Grats! It's nice to see that lots of people getting their Civics soon!

To me, sending to Honda SC is always the best, even if they're not the fastest. You're claiming on your insurance anyway, so take advantage of the Honda Insurance Package.

Even if Honda really sends to them, it's still Honda's responsibility to make good of the car.

Summon is depends on who is responsible / in the wrong. If both in the wrong, then both kena summon - and both claim against their own insurance.

Then there is a percentage of wrong, e.g you are 80% wrong, the other party 20% wrong. The other party's insurance can only claim a bit against your insurance. Both still kena summon by police though

But basically in the case of A hit B in the back, usually B is clear of any wrong doing and full fault is on A, thus only A kena summon, and B can claim 100% against A's insurance.

In the case of Back to Back accident e.g A hit B hit C hit D, A's insurance won't need to cover all B, C and D, rather A, B and C kena summon, D won't kena summon - unless D is being a prick by doing emergency brake in the middle of nowhere without any extenuating circumstances. A's insurance will pay for B, B's insurance will pay for C and C's insurance will pay for D.

Don't think it will be under HIP even though same insurance company.

No insurance, not supposed to be on the road confirm straight 100% he would be wrong, even if you hit him from behind. If really happens, pity you but you would need to go through the court - under RM5K, you can claim under Small Claims Court without lawyers. Above 5K, more difficult.

Easier, just claim under your insurance, then do small claims on your loss of NCD.

35psi? Should be 32psi on all 4 tyres unless you're doing above 160km/h on a regular basis. I'm doing 200km/h on 32psi with no issues.

And yes, that's one of the things you should do when you got the car, forgot about that. Take note celciuz niewyy.

It's wear and tear parts. Just use the same sized rubbers and you should be fine. I'm using PS4 tyres.

It's in the manual. Advised to not do heavy acceleration. It's also listed in 1st post FAQ

Do altogether la boss but yeah, should be fine.

There is a dedicated PS4 thread in F&F

But all in all, a better rubber than MC5. Also better than PS3. Price around RM480 each now I think.

If you're putting the phone at the same spot in your car, most likely you've encountered a bug. At the beta waze forum, there seems to be quite a number of people encountering this bug. I didn't encounter this problem though I am having problems with the map not loading until I force close the app.

How sensitive will the meter cluster and HU dim it's brightness when it's dark outside

Added your comment on things to check when first getting the car - post #3, new car checklist.

Installing dashcam would not void warranty, if you only use the cigarette lighter plug. If you tap directly on the fusebox though... Not really sure on that.

I'm using the Viofo A119 for my dashcam and it's connected directly to an Anker car charger.

Actually for the A119, the cigarette power plug that came with it already has 2 USB ports - one for the dashcam, and you could use the other port for other purpose. I used the Anker 4 port USB car charger like this for my use. They may have updated designs and features of course. I previously bought from Lazada, but can't seem to find it anymore though... It's significantly more powerful (up to 2.1A or QC compatible) than the default USB ports on the car, so my phone and devices charge faster.

Dashcam, I did it on my own following guides from Youtube. Very simple, and doable without using any extra tools. You have to be quite brave in pulling out the rubber at your doors though, but it's simple enough to push it back in. I route it at the passenger side, and stick the cables underneath the glovebox.

Rattling sounds too common I'll update at the known issues - either go to SC for them to check, or quite a few people DIY buy sticking a piece of paper at the gap between the A pillar and dashboard.

Really don't remember this issue. So far, maybe only 2 of you face this? Did you also park at an angle like sam_01? If you encounter this again, it might be worth it to visit the SC for a thorough checkup.

Gratz! Have fun with your car bro!

Standard check is just normal checking and tightening of bolts. No engine oil change is needed. You can request to change of course, but save your money la

Maintenance for 1.8 and 1.5 is similar, only that 1.5 may need to change engine oil more often. Some people think 1,000km/first service die die must change engine oil, and become angry coz Honda says no need.

Vroom Vroom la man. It's your car, so you should enjoy your ride 100%

Actually it went up a bit!

2014 - 771
2015 - 760
2016 - 752
2017 - 753

Only to the parts you put it on - e.g you can't claim warranty if the boot is leaking water when you drill holes to put spoiler at the boot. Warranty for engine, transmission, electronics etc, is not affected.

Err... scratch that... just found out that someone wants to claim warranty on the gearbox grinding noise, but HM rejected the claim due to installing 3rd party bodykit & strut bars - dunno how true of course, but it's something for you to think about.

From what I heard, it's the way I said above.

Do let us know when you claim warranty! Hope we never need to claim of course. About the grinding noise, I dunno if I ever wanna claim warranty coz it's not something that will degrade long term (according to Honda) and they need to open up so many parts of the car to replace the transmission. I'm scared something else might go wrong after replacement

Anyone else in this thread claimed warranty on the transmission?
