Eh, the 8k difference between the 1.5 TC and 1.5TC-P is for the following?

LED headlamps, LED fog lamps - Is it better or brighter for LED?
Chrome door handles - What is this?
Dual-zone auto air con - What is the difference between single and dual zone?
Navigation (by Garmin) - Don't really need it.

LED light more pretty tongue.gif
to me, it seems brighter since it is white LED

chrome door handle, just not same color with the car body paint, it is shiny kind, only the car door handle

seriously not so worth for Premium spec, unless you have extra money to spare, about 8k extra
navigation built inside car nowadays doesnt seems useful, what we have in our phone is much more up to date for map

dual zone is two separate temperature control, i guess is each side(passenger and driver), not front and rear, nothing big deal, just you can control the temperature of air cond from either side lol
*
Doesn't seem worth the 8k at all. Most of the features are not necessary. I could change the LED lights myself later on. I don't really rely on car's navigation as I used what my phone has such as Google Maps and Waze.

Chrome door handle can be also be put later on. Only the dual zone air con is something that I cannot put it later on...but doesn't seem to be useful sweat.gif

I would rather spend the 8k for something else like window tint laugh.gif

I thought only the TCP got 8 speakers whereas the rest only 6?

LED headlamp in market can get 2.2k with eagle eye right? not original but still shows the same look except this comes with sequential signal.

Any of you experiencing high windnoise coming in from door at above 130km/h ?

QUOTE(celciuz @ Oct 8 2017, 11:40 PM)
Yeah, earlier they were saying 2k per piece... thus I went with TC-P... if eagle eyes announced earlier I will go TC ._.

But go outside and pasang the LED headlamp ourselves tak void warranty?

Can just change to LED H11 bulb or philips/osram white color light halogen bulb lor.. actually civic projector headlight design also quite nice.. Offcourse if budget for addtional 8k is not much, then buyer should go for TC-P.

Don't think those extra stuff is useful other than the LED sweat.gif macam tak worth 8k

Really it's your call tongue.gif to me the normal discount is already about 5k-6k. If you're ok with just an additional 1-2k discount for a year end car, then it's ok la. To me I'd rather wait for a new year car.

QUOTE(wurronshi @ Oct 13 2017, 10:15 AM)
maybe next new year 2018, discount lesser compare yr end ?

what is yo advice bro?
*
Wait for new year is better cause it'll help for the resale value. 2017 car RV and 2018 RV is different yo. If you don't plan to sell it in future, ride sampai rosak...then better to get it from the year ends sale.

Yep looking at the trade off which is about 15k from 1.8 to the 1.5T

IMHO, if you are already forking out more than 100k+ for a car, you wouldn't mind spending extra if it makes you happy. Sure you might not need those extra features but the satisfaction that comes along will make you regret why you didn't take it in the first place.

Also when you hear the turbo sound kicks in...vrrooommmmm, worth all of it.

well
I had the problem like this
waslooking to a Elantra 1.6MD for 90k but no more stock

test drive the new elantra with no intention to buy a >100K car

then after that... start self reasoning to get a 100k car
then review here and there, settle for a 1.8s Civic

not gonna self reason for the TC/TC-P cause i will
then since its 130K car, can go up a bit get a accord
then top up a bit get hi spec accord, etc...
*
Yea but 130k is for a top spec Civic while you top up a bit is only for a base spec Accord. For me, I'll compare top spec of each model and see how much is the difference.

As for 1.8 or 1.5 T Civic, this 1 is more to preference. The 20k difference is justifiable if you like the extra stuff that comes with it. If you felt not worth or you felt the extra stuffs does not worth it then no point paying extra.

However from what I see the differences is not big except for the engine. I think somebody mentioned 1.5T is like 2.4k cc? Correct me if I am wrong.

So since Civic is more like a sports sedan car, performance is to be expected. The extra 20k (or take the non premium model which cost 14k more) is for the better performance engine hmm.gif But once you choose to get the non premium model, you will have this dilemma...why not pay for 7k more and get the premium model laugh.gif

EDIT: Extra comparison the other differences between 1.8 vs 1.5 TCP is quite menial. Not very attractive to pay extra 20k for the stuffs below.

- No LED front fog lights
- Non chrome outdoor door handle
- No paddle shift
- Single zone air conditioning
- No auto dim rear view mirror
- Fabric seat

Rumour mill says Civic facelift will come out in 2019 in the US, and might come with wet DCT, similar to Civic in China. Take it with a grain of salt of course.

my SA told me, if I wanted, he can recommend outside do spoiler
cheaper but the issue if like spoiler and such that needs to drill holes,
and your car have problem and need to send for warranty, you need to remove and putty back the holes before you send for warranty claim

if by honda, it is official dee so no need to remove anymore

dunno how true is this
was thinking getting a simple wing spoiler
the body kit from honda consist of side skirt, side cowl for the front and rear bumper

side skirt no need to drill
but for the front and back "spoiler" (i call it cowl) still need t drill holes to the bumpers
*
QUOTE(matmoto5125 @ Jan 3 2018, 10:30 AM)
Bodykit = go install at Honda SC. 100% fit and quality is very good.
Tint = install outside as so many choices and usually much better specs.
*
Hmm, if nak tambah extra wing at the back outside, it'll be problematic? hmm.gif The back wing from official Honda doesn't look nice leh. I wanna add something like the Civic GT-R back wing.

any spoiler that need drilling (which usually do, since dont want the spoiler to fly off in high peed)
will need to be remove and putty back the hole (as well as repaint, or so I heard)
before you can do warranty claim to honda

how strongly this is enforce depends on the SC

as some oredi says tinting outside also void warranty
*
QUOTE(matmoto5125 @ Jan 3 2018, 11:02 AM)
Buy at Honda first, then go outside install your preferred spoiler using the new holes drilled by SC. If want to claim warranty, put back original spoiler biggrin.gif

Banyak mafan ehhhh. Makes me think twice whether nak add the back wing or not liao hmm.gif

Claim warranty for other part of the car also need to putty back? Or only when claim warranty for the back part? hmm.gif

QUOTE(mcchin @ Jan 3 2018, 11:20 AM)
well
depends on thing

like the tinting
they can claim unauthorised installation can have water seepage to the electronics below the dash

the rear spoiler has brake light
so unauthorised installation with connection can claim to short out the system

the SC can play the 6-degree game,link this to that to invalidate the warranty
becos simply, any warranty claim to honda will be scrutinized

if honda dont wan to honor, also cannot do anything
*
QUOTE(matmoto5125 @ Jan 3 2018, 11:23 AM)
If it involves drilling or wiring, I would go to SC. Like the sports pedal I installed. Outside shop only RM70++ with installation. SC charge RM200++ with installation. Of course material/quality also different as SC one is from Honda Access.

Up to owners really.
*
I don't mind paying extra for the ease of mind but the Honda don't have the back wing that I want wo. Can buy outside and ask them to pasang? lol biggrin.gif

well
the honda wing spoiler is quoted RM 1.6K+
outside you can get ~20-30% cheaper

but then why would SC help you pasang.
The RM 1.6K also included with the installation fee

so SC is obligated to pasang for you
outside model you pay outside, not money to honda pocket
*
If only they have the back wing that I want cry.gif I don't mind paying for installation fee if I bring my own back wing and it doesn't void warranty thing.

Sadly I guess it just doesn't work that way.

it really down to your SC/SA

if yours is simply spoiler and the only thing is hole drilling
then if there is issue with the front part, engine, electrical etc

should not be effected by the installation

but, again, down to your SA/SC to fight for your case, if it happens

apa design you are looking at?

Tu Civic Type R mia spoiler lo. Or something similar.

Sounds like they just want to make a little commission by having you buy the bodykit from them.

So what's your final decision? You going to buy from them or install outside?

Thanks

QUOTE(CherryD @ Jan 11 2018, 12:01 PM)
LMAO.

Blood hungry SA.
From my perspective and understanding, as long you don't touch anything related to internal stuff such as engine, tuning and wire cutting..etc warranty won't be voided. Any external stuff for cosmetic purposes such as bodykit should be fine.

Ya la. Because of the warranty thing, if wanna go out install the back spoiler/wing also kena think twice. Honda punya spoiler is ugly eh.
