No, if auto and bright enough then only front DRL is on. Side marker I'm not sure, but taillight definitely off.

Curious what fuel brand and type is everyone pumping, I just pumped Caltex 97 but somehow acceleration feels a bit retarded now. I’ve checked that carpet is not in the way of accelerator pedal already

I'm not sure that I am. It feels completely different than the previous tank (free from SA)

What's funny is that since I got the car I've been driving in eco mode (Penang can't vroom lol) so my experience is strictly eco-only. I disabled eco mode and the acceleration didn't wow me right away which led me to think either something's wrong with my engine, my head or with the fuel.

Interesting, I’ve had pretty good experience with Caltex 95 in previous cars, maybe their 97 is sh** lol

It was raining when I noticed the slow acceleration lol RIP me

Good call, I think the OP has a section that says BHP 95 is close to EURO4M compliant or already is. Anyway my next tank is likely going to be BHP 97 and if that still sucks I’m going back to 95

Glad to see I'm not the only one feeling underwhelmed about RON97. I'll update here once I pump my next tank.

When going downhill, D does have engine braking but it's not as aggressive as when you put it in S. The manual explicitly encourages owners to shift to S when more engine braking is desired, so I used it when going downhill and can feel the engine braking kicking in a lot so I don't have to full time pump brake which might wear down the brake pad faster, also too much heat built up renders the brakes less effective.

Have you tried turning off Econ mode? For me even when off it also felt slower than day 1. Like what KnightSports said it could be the thrill or unfamiliarity that skewed our perception of how fast the car actually is and now that we are used to it it doesn’t seem that fast anymore.

Welp, time to save up for an M3

Haha I know it's not marketed as a fast performance car, but coming from a Myvi and then an old Accord, I expected the Civic to kinda blow my socks away, and so far it has been really good in terms of comfort and noise level (the A pillar rattling is there but doesn't bother me yet, I assume it would in the future and will deal with it then), but the speed doesn't feel as oompppphhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh anymore as day 1, and it happened right after I refueled which was why I was mainly curious if it was because of Caltex RON97

I got it for 1.7k for coating and quite impressed so far, though it’s my first time having my car coated so don’t have much experience to speak from. I’ve heard someone getting it from them at 1.4k so within this range should be good.

No complaints, though it seems a bit too dark but they insisted it’s JPJ compliant. At least they have 5 year warranty so in case I get stopped by traffic police during a roadblock I can claim from them. For tinting I’d recommend doing elsewhere if you have a trusted place in mind already

Is that from your first 1k/1mo service that they found out it’s broken?

9km/L for city driving... feels bad man.

Finally took a drive down the 2nd Penang bridge this past Sunday at 150km/h, feelsgoodman, I've heard people complain a bit about wind noise but I didn't notice any wind noise that was bothering me. I do have door visor and a rear Modulo wing installed not sure if those matter. Going to KL this Friday, another long drive then come back first service, already made appointment. Can't wait!

Lol true, I've kinda noticed that too but compared to Mazda3 should be a lot less la haha. Not like we're riding in an E or S class

Saw a good opportunity for a side profile photo for my car yesterday in Georgetown

Wow nice bro, glad to hear warranty claim went good for you. Kinda a bummer they say the warm start grinding sound is normal but hey win some lose some, also it doesn't affect normal functioning of the engine.

Nice! I wonder if Google Maps has beta too

Did you get it for RM194 from Lazada? Or somewhere else? How well does it work? Any other thoughts beyond the need long hand to lock?

Thanks, might consider getting it... there's a RM159 listing on Lazada now too https://www.lazada.com.my/products/solex-am...s149307967.html

I don't think I want/need ignition lock, just a simple visual deterrent to make other surrounding cars more attractive to steal is fine for me

Back from Penang-Ipoh-KL-Penang trip, drove total about 900km, average FC around 18.5km/L, not bad. Some observations:

I did notice some wind noise above 140km/h but below that it’s really not that bad at all. Really dislike the noisy grunt below 40km/h or when going uphill.

Backseat apparently was quite comfortable for passengers, but front passenger was quite uncomfortable after 1 hour on the trip because the seat height cannot be adjusted so people with long leg will suffer lol

Actually when I decided to get the car I thought the front passenger seat is also a power seat, also I thought the driver seat has memory function for some reason. Dangit lol
