Any good/bad experience with the Service Centre in Mofaz, opposite IKEA?

I had bad experience with Michelins, the tyre thread peeled/cracked. Faced by many others too. Maybe it's the hot Malaysian weather, I'm not sure.
But for sure I definitely will not buy any Michelin tyres in the future.

I agree, life's short to be lived worrying too much.. Well except for the being nicked part. Current ride's a couple years and the last time a bad motorcycle rider nicked it while trying to squeeze through, it felt like it was my skin.. Haha, yeah.. I get sentimental.. Same with my home minister. Personally, I'm just trying to learn as much as possible so I lower expectations before jumping in. Can't complain about an issue I knew was coming..

It can be easily solve by upgrading the camera if it is not up to your standard. Should be cheap.

belfong, well said
just go with it if you like it.. ok CRV 1.5tcp blue. im coming~

Is it AWD important ? I wanted Honda sensing with AWD. Should I made a move with the current spec or wait ?
Buy now then suddenly down the road Honda come out sensing AWD.

do you do off-road , if you have answered - yes - go for AWD

If it is mostly city driving/paved roads , just stick with 2WD

Does SA gets commission from bank loans based on the amount and interests of the loan? I wonder whether SA would actually work with bank officer to jack up the interest rate to earn more commission?

Yes, if you prefer better handling
But of course the FC will be higher compare to 2WD

i think not at SA level....the handshakes should be between the bank branch manager and the showroom boss.

I wonder why people here in Malaysia are so obsessed or persistent with AWD, it consume more fuel and cost more in term of maintenance.

As recalled, the reason why my dad have to sold his 3rd gen Honda CRV is because the AWD differential located at the back axel is malfunctioned, causes gear slipped and others problem.

People perception upon all wheel drive are handling, the superior grip during initial acceleration and grip during cornering. But all these are pointless to this gen CRV, this car is not meant for cornering, isn't it? I bet you won't feel any different if you test drive the 2 wheel and 4 wheel back to back. 4 wheel one also won't out run 2 wheel while off the line.

All wheel drive is important at country which snowing during winter time. Here in Malaysia don't snow, also, most people uses truck for off road instead of Compact SUV.

So the choice is basically yours.
IMHO, Honda sensing is way more important than AWD, as tested, it work flawlessly.

Cheer.

My understanding is that the SA get very little, but the branch gets much more.

Did spec sheet mention about Honda Active Noise Cancellation?
No right? But our car actually come with it.
How do I know? Because it cause interference to my aftermarket audio system and I just unplug it.
Please refer to attached photo I taken for part number, it located behind the glove box or filter area.


Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is designed to dramatically reduce low frequency noise in the interior. The system operates whenever the car is running, regardless of whether the audio system is on or off.
There are two microphones in the cabin area.
The microphones capture low-end drivetrain frequencies entering the cabin, and send a signal to the Active Noise Cancellation unit. The control unit then creates a precisely timed reverse phase audio signal that is sent to an amplifier, which powers the door speakers and the subwoofer positioned on the rear parcel shelf.
In the frequency range below 100 hertz, ANC results in an impressive 10 dB reduction in noise level.
Since the system is designed to cancel low-frequency sound, it doesn’t use any of the audio system's tweeters.
The ANC dramatically reduces exterior noise. In the frequency range below 100 hertz, ANC results in an impressive 10 dB reduction in noise level.

PS: For people who planned to upgrade their stock audio system to any aftermarket driver must first disable the ANC. Otherwise it cause interference to your sub-woofer (low frequency) whenever the RPM hit 1.5k - 3k.

I've changed the entire speakers in the car and upgraded the audio system like the following:

Player : Honda factory Headunit
Front Speaker : Infinity Kappa 60.11CS 6-3/4" Component Speakers
Rear Speaker : Alpine SPR-60C 6.5" Component Speakers
Amplifier : JBL GX-A604 4 Channel Full Range Amplifier
Woofer : JBL BassPro SL 8" underseat woofer

Sound stages improved very much, gonna say good bye to terrible stock sound system.

Thanks Neo_Y - this is very useful info! It also means if I have plans to put an Amp, but everything else is stock, I still need to disable it huh?

edit: you changed Tweeter too - 2 front and 2 back?

If that do not interfere your speakers, need not to disable I assume.

Yes, 2 way component both front and rear, changed 4 Tweeters in total.

can share what is the damage? rough figure will do.

Sorry to differ AWD not only for snow or off-road condition, raining or wet condition does help with AWD especially flash flood or sudden heavy rain at highways.

AWD vs FWD vs RWD

So do you hear more noisy ride if yr audio is off since you had disconnected the ANC?

Thanks for the explaination on the AWD. Is the stock sound louder in front than the back? Where does the installer tap the signal output? Is the back of the honda player have the signsl output for the amp?
