Hi,
Just got my CR-V last saturday from HZN and unfortunately no discount, no even the intoducer commission. Should have read this thread earlier for discounts but I've already made booking since last May.
I bought the 1.5 TCP.
Yes, the ride is noisy due to the tire. After reading this thread, I'll check the pressure after work.

What disappoint me is that there is no built- in GPS(navigation) or is there one?

Thanks for the mini-review...
IMO, not worth it as the current paint is pretty durable.. Just wash every week or so and apply wax/polish occasionally. Park wisely too and don't let certain stains to sit on the paint for long. As for swirl marks, have a decent car wash place. I've patronized the same joint for years and pals with the elderly owner, so when the car comes around, extra care and the good stuff is used. How do I know this? Civic 08, only had to be repainted once (all round) for around 2K, paint today still looks like new when clean..No rust.. After a wash? glistens.. I've also got a good car guy who knows how to mix the right blend of metallic paint to match mine for those minor touch-ups. biggrin.gif

However, it is not a bad idea to coat the car, for added peace of mind i guess... But here's the question I always ask the coating fellas (don't matter if ceramic or bla bla)..
1. After coating, how much taking care should I still do? Ans: They reply same as above.


2. After coating, am I 100% protected against stone/rock chips, swirl marks, rust, keying and scratches? They reply nope, not 100%..  doh.gif

See, Some scratches can be buffed right out if they don't penetrate all the way through the clear coat. So if I'm going to keep doing all the above (care, etc) that I currently do? Why would i fork out at least 4K for a good coat all around the car. When I can keep that cash and repaint the whole car in say 5 years. Also, if you get into an accident and parts replaced, you'd have to re-coat again.. doh.gif Oh yeah, between proper wax and Rain-X application on all windows, I get the exact or nearly identical hydrophobic effect all over the car as most coatings do too..

Now paint protection films or wraps are a different story. I'm completely not into wraps.. but still on the fence towards PPF. I'm definitely going to put on security tint on all windows, cuz while I may be able to react coolly in an incident, the missus will probably freeze up and so some smash protection is required.. My 2 cents.
Wow, 1st time I've heard that someone isn't interested in using the superior GPS navigation built into the phone... Good on you.
Going to check this out next..  notworthy.gif

Hi.
Thanks for the opinion.
You're right. Still have to di the basic cleaning athough did the coating.
Btw, the detailer told me that there're some paint defects on the new crb

I'm pretty uneducated regarding this coil mat thing. Wouldn't it collect more dust and dirt since it is probably very difficult to beat them out or vacuum them out?

I found this product advertised online : It's like the rubber mat but with small square grooves like waffle. From the video show - it's easy to throw dirt and easy to clean.

Can check this website : www.trapo.asia


Btw, I'm using the coil mat. biggrin.gif

I got a quote of the running boards for 1.3k (after market) which is half the price of the ori one from honda.

the aero front bumper will have a different set of DRL which is nicer. if outside can do the same with half the price, can consider. but to me, anything that need to do like that and need painting, i prefer to do it in honda.

Is the running board you referred is the one near the door frame with running lights? I ordered with my SA at RM 736

Hi guys,
I have 2 questions regarding the operation of my CRV TC-P ie:

Auto headlights: I select this option but so far I haven't seen the high beam lights switch on although I'm driving along dark roads. Want to know, is this function working?
Auto wiper: When selected as if I'm using the intermittent mode.

Thanks

The auto high beam only works if you drive above 45 km/h. For the wiper, mine is working flawlessly, speed varies depending on the rain.

Hi,
I was driving at 90 to 100 km/hr along the federal road@jalan kampung with some areas have no street lights

Hi,
Last saturday, while driving, suddenly heard chime{sound like to fasten the seat belt) and in the dashboard came out - " lamp indicator with A -please check your system".

I stop the car and restart back and the indicator gone.

Do you guys ever experience this?

Thanks

Dont know why. Restart car then it went away. Need to monitor

Same problem as mine.
I asked in this thread earlier but unfortunately nobody answer. Asked my SA and he too didn't know.

Yes, restart and it's gone
Also last 2 days, while driving, the left front sensor keep on beeping. SO irritating, I stopped and restart and it's gone.
