Few days already with the FC. Mostly just sitting in the porch... still admiring it from all angle.

It just bested my trusty '09 City sharing the other half of the porch, except the speaker system... Both standard stock, City 6 speakers; FC 8 speakers. It's quite an obvious lost to the Civic at any volume level I didn't expect this.

EDIT: I read it again and it may sound confusing. So just to be clear, I mean the Civic 8 speakers system lost to the City 6 speakers

Agree with you there. The sound system in the Civic is really sub-par. I'm thinking of upgrading it at some point after the warranty is over. Until then, just have to live with it.

that FD 1.8 sure still stock mode
i braking at 150kmh drop to 140kmh rpm drop to 2500 like that fd1.8 is behind me..once he signal to right at the meantime i floor it..nah..cvt at 2500 goes up to 4500..the civic 1.8 already near my rear tyre.. sssiuuuuuuu...

p/s: i smoke the 1.8 at uphill double lane at 160kmh..maybe he geram..hahaha

Shift to S and press a bit more. Watch the rpms zip up to 4k with satisfying grunt from the engine. I was pleasantly surprised when I used S mode a couple of days ago. All this while I stayed in D-Econ or D at most with rpm rarely exceeding 2.5k. Never needed to enter S, until someone totally pissed me off. A word of caution, if you're doing it, be careful. 200kmh isn't that far away. Before you know it you'll be hitting the speed limiter.

For me, all of the above is useful and I use it frequently. Lately my phone has been acting up and the navigation comes in real handy. Dual AC, this one is more for my gf who loves to change the AC temp every time she's in the car. Now she can change it for her side....although in the long run, the temperature in the cabin will stabilize.. What I love the most though, are those headlights. They're not purely cosmetics either. The LED liights are brighter and do project farther than halogen lights......and they're just so damn beautiful.

They're all like that I think. It's not so clear.

I get it on and off. No idea why. Only lasts a couple of minutes. Gonna ask SC to check on next service.

Not so responsive? Hmm ...to me...once the TC is on the move the CVT is responsive. Once u floored it u can feel the power and easily hit 180kmh in few seconds. No way a stock 1.8 can come close...lol. cos I often drive hrv too...huge diff in power especially on highway...

aiyo.... if got confirm selling like hot cake...
all convert to type r like the fd version...

Drove both before, can say no way the 1.8 is faster than the 1.5T. Slighty slow from 0-15km/h then 1.5T smoke it all the way~

However, I bought the 1.8

For a car which is already is speeding up (FD1.8), and a car which is just starting to put "pedal to the metal" (1.5TC), of course the car which is already speeding up will be faster for a while, but the 1.5TC will catch up and accelerate faster after the first few seconds. The torque and hp of the 1.5TC is higher than the 1.8.

If your car is only going 4500rpm, not really put pedal to the metal... if really pedal to the metal, it should be at 5500rpm until 207km/h

Thanks bro. Well noted. Let me check soon after 800km.if still dot dot, at 1k service i will remind SC to check or reset

dont forget the LED signal is well matched at the front too. and the led foglight

Led signal? I noticed some is white and some is yellow. That's the tc and tcp difference?

Edited: sorry izzit the signal near the front bumper and fender?

Anyone bought the non slip mat like this? Is it customized version for our side? As in for driver on the right side one?

See the pix

FD 1.8 will have more confidence than you when he is on high speed with full press throttle (AT) & hydraulic steering (direct feel on road condition) while our FC is having cvt gear slipping feel that you do not dare to floor it or even you floor it harder (the moment you wanna gain acceleration), the rpm shoot up high and you tend to slow down as how we drive AT car (to make RPM go down to achieve the next gear level) that make our car slower... there is some tactics how to drive CVT car personally i feel..

TCP get complete LED light for front..
headlamp low high beam
sigal lamp
fog lamp..
side marker lamp still bulb type

if drive at D mode..at partial throttle hold at 4000rpm the speed will drop like this 130-129-128-127..
if S mode lain cerita.. become like normal AT..rpm go up together bring the speed..not rpm go up and throw away his friend ...
