Collected my car last Tuesday. Going to share my experiences a little so far with my ride as I noticed my comments above about the quality.
1. Collected the car on Tuesday - during inspection, noticed a tiny scratch mark near the petrol cap but other than that all were fine
2. Hibernate at home whole day as I will be sending the car for coating on Thursday
3. Drove all the way from Seremban to Shah Alam (Ceramic Pro Malaysia) for coating. Highway drive (all ECO mode till date) all smooth and no rattling sound at all (only slightly less than 110km/h) Underpowered, slightly most likely due to the ECO mode but no issue for me (new car, sure sayang a bit and drive like Uncle)
4. Ceramic Pro folks managed to find 2 more spots that I have missed during inspection - swirl mark on the roof (can't be removed / covered completely after wax) and a tiny spot near the drive side mirror (paint chipped but after wax hardly noticed) Great work by Ceramic Pro Team. Definitely can felt the instant boost of the materials quality both internal and external now
5. During the drive back to Seremban, heavy thunderstorm (no kidding - Thursday evening) Hardly can see the car in front along ELITE highway. But the drive was smooth (~70km/h) Quiet and does not felt like the rain dropped on zinc bumbung (I recalled someone commented this earlier)
6. Drove to Malacca as well over the weekend. This time I took the trunk road (Pedas/Linggi) to test out the narrow and winding road. Car performed great without any major issues. Some sharp turns hardly need to brake much. Also hardly hear anything in the cabin - sound proof is great.
7. Pump Shell VPower on Thursday (1 trip to KL and 1 trip to Malacca) just around half tank now with near 400KM left to drive, not too bad I guess
Complaints so far
-------------------
1. Too many gaps around the external body. Between the parts / lights. Hard to reach when wiping the water and insects tend to stuck in between the gaps
2. Cheap car plate from Honda (felt as if it will peel off anytime soon)
3. Brake pad is slightly loud when release but nothing major
Just some honest review so far based on the car I had now. I wanted to comment all down to pure luck but obviously Honda may need to improve on the build quality but well I guess that's how it is now for majority of businesses? No matter how much we pay we still may get some bad apples - my 2 cents
