Hi guys, actually I'm planning to buy civic fc in the future but just need to get some advice from the current owners. (Before posting this I have read the posts regarding the info about the car (problems..etc)
Which one is better? 1.8 or 1.5T? After reading the comments in the forum and fb group I saw most of the owners suggest 1.5 because of more power. But how is the cost of maintaining a turbo car? (Because never have exposure to turbo car before) From SA they just said the amount of time you need to service the car is more than NA car because of the turbo system, ofcourse the cost of maintain will be higher.
What I'm worrying is the problem when the turbo got problem. Although it is covered by Honda Malaysia for 5 years, if there is problem will they fix them properly? And what is the cost of changing the turbo if it is spoiled? (Coz I heard SA said if turbo spoiled=car is not working=engine got problem, is it true?) What I concern is when the turbo spoil after 5 years, which is out of warranty (Because I don't think I will change the car so fast within 5 years), and what will the cost be to fix the problem?
Sorry for asking so much because this will be my first Honda and also Turbo car, and I also don't know the durability of turbo cars, ofcourse it depends on the driver's driving style also. And this is the first turbo civic in Malaysia and it is still new in the country, just need some advice from existing owners especially the 1.5T owners.
Depends on your needs. For some the 1.8L just serves them fine. It depends what you prefer. If you are a slow driver and prefer to maintain the car less , go for 1.8 - I mean you can upgrade the leather seats and all but then you would not be getting the awesome LED lights in the premium variant
Also the turbo kicks in when it thinks you require more engine power for it to deliver , else it would just function like a normal engine .Again it depends on the foot and you can just turn on eco mode and it would reduce the the time turbo kicks in
Of course the turbo engine is much more complicated compare to normal NA but then once again it all boils down to how you use the car and how you take care of it
