For my other cars I avoid Shell, it's the last choice. There was once my Toyota had to do overhaul after going into Shell station. I didnt bother to claim from the station. Shell ppl told me it happens regularly with their product.

Wow u got a good deal... I didn't get anything, i told the salesman, he also scratch head and told me he will do what he can.

good news is, getting car tcp in two weeks, after waiting for 3 months! Steering lock RASLOK already bought last month hahahha even before loan approved. confident, huh.

Yes! It is heavy and leather-bound, the video demo is very convincing. After this i will need to think about what other locks to fit in or GPS tracking.

2.33% MBB. PBB was lower but i wanted variable loan type

I read somewhere, some finance article, that stated your car loan should be 5 years. Otherwise, it might be out of your budget.

Received my car yesterday! Love it... Zooming at 140kmh at 2500rpm, so smooth, so much potential... Yahoo!

August i think - so maybe about 2 months waiting

sadly my car - 2nd day - already Check system - all lights came out - drive jerking. Too sensitive, too many sensors... cry...cry...

update: supposedly it's the gearbox.. OMG... right out of factory. so sad.

Sounds like a good deal... if u feel scammed you should walk out of the shop immediately.

Coating, film, all same.. i did coating for my other car recently, other ppl whack with their car door, also paint broken, dented. someone said before, it's only to make your car look nice and shiny longer with less effort. doesnt stop all the little dents and bangs. That being said, i will try 10H coating and see if it's better

888 - XG Coating Seri Kembangan
my other car done there, OK la..9H..588. but for services... the more you pay the better you get ya

it's nice to see rain drip away, and the bird shit, easy to clean. However - after rain must wipe off because of the water spots, and washing must be regular, at least once a week.

I'm quite happy with coating - yes, after rain must wipe off, that's the hassle. Overall - shiny, and best thing is, the rims also stay clean, easy to wash off the dirt. i send to car wash every week, and the detailing shop will deal with the watermarks if you send there for washing.

yesterday i tried S mode... so scary hahah, immediately went back to D Econ (boomer mode hahahhaha)

Must find out how to use the paddle shift, havent tried before

S mode, torque up, acceleration up, damn fun ohhhh... Like amusement park ride. scared for the gearbox only, never know it will break apart

Oh i got a drop-in filter (bought before car was delivered!)... maybe i'll try it after the first service

This is the problem when you have technicians who don't own cars themselves or don't put their heart and soul into their work and into customer satisfaction.

Or don't care - lazy la to settle the issue. This is normally cooling coil/compressor issue. My other Civic had this problem but now it's gone after service and change some aircon parts. since your aircon still working, they dont want to spend money to honour your warranty.

i've used my mechanic's car before and it doesn't even drive straight haha

I have a Toyota with 1 year warranty that gave zero issues for 10 years, only one absorber change, and that was it. i think Honda is maximising profit over reliability and quality here... so sad... the car is really so pretty... My darling...

That's why for now i'm keeping the revs low, around 3,000 only

And yes, my darker coloured car looks better with coating. White car, the effect, less, but looking forward to easier washes

gearbox solenoid issue, supposedly. all fixed and OK now

It was all pretty civil, of course i was annoyed but shit happens. And i have my old car to use (my trustworthy '98 Civic back when the marque meant quality and reliability?)
The SA called me every single day to update me so that was professional and top-notch customer service

But no i didnt ask for compensation, in hindsight i think insurance would have paid me daily for my inconvenience... Haiyaaaa
