Haha, I'm just joking with him.

Hmm, CBU from Thailand, not Japan. Hehe, mine is older than yours. I got the Kah Motor metal plate in my engine bay. LOL
Eh, keep your CF0 lah. Maintain it nicely. Hard to find a good car nowadays (Please exclude new cars).

Anyway, my car rubbers started to melt and harden. Need to change. Inquired about the price - RM100++ for one strip. A single door has at least 6 stripes. My God!

LOL, that's for genuine parts... last time changed the whole set of suspensions, my dad almost vomit blood

Ya, I changed mine once also. Almost vomit blood too. Haha... My passenger side rubber lining has hardened and peel off. When I wind the window, strange sound coming out. So I must fix it soon.

sigh:

Old car CBU - Problems come
New car CKD - Problems come

LOL

Old car = wear and tear = no choice
New car = lousy workmanship = got choice = complain

Well, my mom new City 1.5VTEC is just fine. Even better FC compared to 07 batch.. not to mention that now the seat is softer and some nice improvement like ultraseat. No complaints from my mom although I personally prefer my Vios seat and comfort anytime.

for me, I will not buy another CKD car again...and only cbu japan or germany, forget cbu from thai, indo and other monkey brain country.. for me I had enuf no more CKD cars, maybe a cbu honda build by japan but even that I have to do extreme review check....furious about honda for fooling a lot of ppl with their ckd bullshit..don't want to be fool by the honda again...I think I'll get a mitsu evo if no money if got I go for audi, if got even more I go for lambo...

holy shit!!!! this is bad.......a thread back from the dead...thanks to some forummer that bought this up while discussing the civic...and oh yeh free bump ... I wonder if the TS still active...halo you there???

I personally driving Honda Civic (8th Gen, not FL) and a Toyota Vios (FL 06) at the same time and I know how uncomfortably driving a Honda. Yes, no doubt they have powerful engine but when you drive for outstation eg to Melaka, I rather want to drive a Toyota because Honda really noisy and the car feel like bouncing all the way to Melaka when I drive...

I personally owned a SV4 and i enjoyed driving it. Sound insulation was up to my expectation. Had to get rid of it becuase it was dying on me and too ex to retain. I eventually got a FD2. Car has been in and out of the SC since i got the car in Jan 09. I had listed 17 out of 19 porblems faced on 1 occassion. Gave them 1 week to fix and when I went to collect the car, it became worse. Eventually had more problems and had no choice but to send to SC again.

Below is a list of some of the issues I have been facing

1. rear board vibrating
2. bubble on sticker on driver door
3. squeaky steering rack
4. font fenders and bumpers not aligned
5. unusual vibrations in cabin
6. faulty exhaust spring
7. absorbers not fixed properly
8. loose connector


Hondas quality over the years have indeed deteriorated when it should have improved. They boast they have improved in this and that areas but to me, its just pure BS!!!. Call HM, and they say phone system down. Ask for e-mail, say no more because of spam mails. If I want to complaint, best to go to their office in Jaya 1 to do it. I'm like WTF??? In my opinion, the people running the show these days are not committed to their work and takes things too lightly unless a really attractive incentive awaits for them at the end of the line.

Anyway, we have been have been buying Honda cars ever since from civics to accords to crvs to legends and you will see the tremendous drop in quality over the years. No doubt engine is good and meets my expectations, the overall sucks big time.

My 2 cents worth of comments I have for Honda. Next car is definitely going to be a conti car. Good luck to those who plan to get themselves a Honda or a Toyota.

Nowadays Honda Malaysia is giving so bad service and quality already? Hmm...What is going to happen if this continues? I own a Honda City too!

for me non honda user... i wonder y City still selling at the same price with Vios although they are taxed lesser... hmmm....
but all cars have problem during delivery but i couldn't expect a list of 20 more item is problematic...

If you are having the earlier gen city, i think not so much issue. The new ones i heard have a lot of issues. I think its Honds's strategy to improve the engine and forget about the rest.

we also kena... ours is the City VTEC 08... when we got the car, we drove to melaka, thought of testing the engine... mana tau when go above 120km/h, there was this sharp whistling sound...
we thought it was some kind of warning signal or something... we brought back to SC, they told us angin masuk from windscreen... wah lau...

My car also has this problem,then did you solved the issue?

Wind Noise problem quite common i guess, even newer generation Toyota cars also faced this problem esp. Toyota Vios 1st batch.

If i remember correctly, it's was related to the "black sticky thing" at the side of the windows at the internal section of the doors. But they admitted the issue and TSBs were sent out to all SC to fix the problems...
