overseas accord reviews mostly on the 2.0T engine with the 10 speed transmissino...

malaysia dapat 1.5T + CVT....multiply by the infamous quality touch points, just temper the accord expectations a fair bit....

the new accord's pricing won't be that far away from the camry around 185k region....

true, the locally assembled mazda 1st generation skyactiv cars infamous for the suspension noise issue. Claim warranty also cannot fix....ini lagi best...issue at component engineering/material level

frankly, i don't think so, the previous red is a classier shade compared to this upcoming one...

and if this passion red pearl parked next to mazda's soul red, the civic will look almost toy like....

For those that are SO SO SO SO extremely very much tak boleh tahan eager to get their hands of the facelifted civic, this red will have ready stock most of the time...since it is so not eye catching....and malaysians mentality of avoiding striking colours (mazda's soul red is an outlier)...

officially, if registered as year 2020, it is considered year 2020 car despite being made in 2019. Your car RV didn't drop 1 year....

hold on longer, economy going to crash and car dealers will be even more desperate to make sales....if you can really wait....

turbo don't "activate", it runs the moment there is exhaust. Blame it on the economy focused tuning and partly on the CVT transmission.

It is the factory throttle tuning that is giving this kind of feeling. It will not be linear like the old days because now all electronic throttle control, electronic engine management, boost control....it is all in the codes, no longer that much on the hardware.

Cannot specify, that means either the SA attending the briefing is too lazy to take notes/pay attention, or there isn't any major part changes, the SA just came out with a story to lure.

If just the water itself, get distilled or DI water.

IF the coolant mix, buy from honda itself if scared, or just ask outside workshop.

The real reason why honda car price hike so much : kena penalty, because buat tipu kena tangkap....

Just wait a while until all banks adjust their rates, to be safe, apply starting next april month.

actually, almost all manufacturers buat tipu, but likely honda overdid it, too much to close 1 eye....

more likely to be 1 month after date of delivery confirmation. If you die die don't sign delivery for whatever reasons, the bank won't release the money to the dealer and you don't need to pay the loan.

Gives incentive/coercion to the dealer to not deliver lemon units or clearly damaged units.

You'll need to pay 10x more for a rolls royce "waftability"

All new cars (not limited to honda civic, but literally all car brands and models) arriving to dealer have over inflated tyres. It is no fault of the factory, this is to prevent tyre flatspotting in case of prolonged storage. The car drives like it is on heels when the pressure is sky high.

Most sales advisors don't give a damn to deflate to normal pressure range. Once sign delivery, they don't give shit. Syukur if your sales advisor is willing to go the extra mile, these are a damn rare breed.

If the car cannot start, somewhere obviously broken, wrong trim, yes you have the right to not sign delivery. The PDI process here is pure useless box ticking. But if you don't sign delivery, the dealer will be really anxious despite they hold your deposit/downpayment. Because if they can't fulfill/negotiate to the satisfaction of the customer, they have to return it.

I know of one incident where the dealer carelessly ordered the wrong colour. Registered, but obviously was not what the customer ordered. Customer don't give a damn and die die want the initial colour. Dealer had to suck it up, absorb the losses, order another car of the colour the customer initially wanted.

Honda, the power of "dreams"

quality cutting dreams....to this kind of level.....beyond epic

their maintenance staff is grossly overworked to even neglect something so superficially visible....

go mudah.my website check...then you get a ballpark figure when you go negotiate...

alternatives :
hankook v12evo2 - not the the performance of ps4 but pretty close for everyday performance, 20-40% cheaper depending on size. Best bang for buck
hankook s1evo3 - kind of rare
falken fk510 - next best bang for buck, slightly better than v12evo2
bridgestone s007a (if you can find, new in market)
bridgestone re004 (if you can find, new in market)
goodyear f1 asymmetric 5 (thread is crazy thick for performance level tyres)
goodyear f1 supersport
pirelli pzero 4 - expensive
continental extreme contact sport - expensive

if less than 18in, the last 3 likely don't stock.

pening kepala for choices

Can list down how much you spent on mods already?

list down la.....then can reference the level of poisonous that each of us can tahan

You've done multiple mods here and there inside and outside, but the most obvious one belum leh....

When you want to change wheels....suspense leh

It is not that uncommon on other cars actually, unless the camera is fixed dead centre of the car.

Technically, honda should do a calibration of the lines/view angle after getting it from the oem camera supplier; but frankly, when parking, should always refer to the 2 side mirrors and rear view mirror more than the camera screen. You'll get used to it and know how to compensate after sometime using this car. Not worth letting this issue get into your nerves, as i've personally tried far more expensive cars with this issue. The difference is just off by how much/the quantum of obviousness when parking with rear view camera screen as reference.....

Just enjoy your car la....

who says so....

ori wheels is hardy, not easy to crack/bend if kena deep pothole.


i thought you wrap your car, macam ni still chipping?

aiya....life of car ownership....after 1 more year, no feeling already other than physically bang....

if you like to drive fast, almost guarantee 1 month got 1 extra chipping. I genuinely no feeling already, the chipping is almost like the patina on the ring, a sign of graceful ownership

too long didn't follow this thread, didn't know you upgrade and uprated liao

damm......all of us eat your dust (plus additional stone chipping on our cars)

dai lou....

chill la....if you really go survey around even those premium brands, you'll also find this issue de....it becomes more of a "lebih atau kurang" serious scenario...

Like it or not, absolutely must use side and rear view mirrors and turn your head when parking. The camera is most useful to see the lower portion of your approach which you physically can't see.

Wrap your car or don't drive the car out

Other than that, no way to prevent it la...

If you like the added lustre reflection, then ok to spend on coating. If expect coating to protect from debris chipping (even if they advertise 100H hardness), just don't believe it. Only a proper layer of material like a wrap can help quite a lot. But wrap also can't protect from large debris chipping.

Go make friends with a reputable/decent car painting workshop, every year let them do compound+wax. They do better job than detailer shop polishing package actually (my opinion)...price sometimes cheaper.

ironic right?

Coating is supposed to protect the applied object but need to put so much effort in maintaining it. Macam the protector need to be protected, apa logic

Initially when i got my car, was quite tempted to do it. But after some thought, came to the above conclusion, might as well just let it be. I not clean freak kaki, go for car wash once or twice a month only. Not only have to take care about water mark, some more got bird poo, tree sap, road tar, etc....If i apply coating, sure tarak wan....

Frankly, if you personally maintain your car, better that you just use a quick wax product (something like meguair's ultimate quik wax) bimonthly after a good car wash and do claying every half a year, almost 90% effect of coating yet cost so so much lesser.


instead of ppf, you can choose normal wrap (of course use proper quality material), can be up to half the cost of a good quality ppf. Some more get to choose the colour shade you like. The best part, since there is a physical material barrier, once you peel of the wrap after some time, your paint still in good condition like the very 1st day you apply the wrap.

if you do your own washing, like i mentioned above, use a quick wax product bimonthly and clay every half a year. Sure kilat kilat, licin licin

Coating gives more added worries, that's the irony. If it is truly an effective product, coating should instead give peace of mine rain or shine bird droppings/tree sap or not.

I don't deny that the added lustre after the coating does let my eye linger a little longer, but then, not practical to me....the marketing of coatings are deceitfully hyped...more of a glorified wax

anyway, i'm more inclined towards wrap....

Each to their own with their decision to spend their money
