Proton is better. All have standardized price.

Anyway, now only i know Honda don't have authorised channels for parts...all Spare part shops....so glad i didn't buy a Honda. But their showroom service was very impressive though...

wah so serious

no la they have authorised channels for honda parts, just that the SC can choose to get it for go for 3rd party/second grade parts. I think this issue need to complaint to Honda Malaysia, as so to make them more strict on their SC.

but..but when i drive honda my 60 year old uncle told me got face wor....

i drive a honda btw, but CBU one keke.

what happen???

standardised price but no good quality lol yeah i heard honda only supplies the cars, not the spare parts. this fact needs verification tho. my friends told me that their system is not centralised so telling them to standardise their price would be asking them to revamp the whole system lol.

what happen to you???

I cant help but to reply to this comment.

I`ve been trying to apply for Honda Melaka position as a technician/qc technician/test engineer whatnot for nearly two year, once every 2 month I resubmit my new application. I have a DIploma in Automotive Engineering and MLVK 1,2 and 3. I love Honda, my house have 2 Honda car (with problem..)

But, my fiancee who study at Alor Gajah MICET rent a house near Honda, and one of her house mate is a Honda QC Technician, with only SPM qualification. Yeap, its a cute girl with pretty face aged 19.

I stopped trying to apply then.

you are right..HONDA is a great brand, a great car with Japanese racing DNA in it..

but when it land here, been CKDed.....u know, and i know what happened..

since graduating from uni, i've applied the Engineer position oso in Alor Gajah plant..but still no reply from Honda Malaysia..

sad to say, my friend with zero passion about Honda, been selected to work there..hehe

after working for 3 months, he still did not know that the current Civic in the market is Civic FD

fyi, last year Honda Malysia gave 5 months bonus to their engineers..

There are authorised channels for honda parts.
HMSB does supply spare parts to their service dealer, appointed workshop collision repairer and also stockist.

A proper Honda SC must order parts from HMSB, else u can complain to Honda Malaysia.

HMSB only have stocks of spare parts for current models only..

Nah, I can get parts for Civic 1996/Accord 2000 as well.
Unless Honda Japan/Thailand phase out certain model parts, else we can get it here.

u get the parts from Honda SC rite? then, for old models, SC wont get from HMSB anymore..

dont think that will do anything to improve quality.

in any case, i am quite shock to see so complains about honda.

i thought it was a good brands almost like toyolta

My share of view after 5 years owning Honda Cibik...Also my longest car

When I 1st got this baby, as what mentioned by TS, lotsa probloem esp mine was 1st batch. The famous koong-kloong sounded suspension - True & got warraty claim on the hydraulic mounting - (Quiet recall by Honda M'sia)

Thereafter, is their wheel bearings. Very famous...rear wheel bearing and even lotsa workshops knew about Honda rear wheel bearing - Kaput within 2- 3yrs ..Absorber & all mounting also changed within 3 yrs (now upgraded to 3rd party GAB adjustable sport suspension

and nafter 4th year, for those wth hydraulic power steering (1.8 model)..watch out - sure leaking and this is the most expensive parts so far..The whole replacement will get you poorer by atleast RM4000!! . I hv replaced the expensive presure hose (RM1300) on the 4th year, but yet still leaking 2 nths later & now- the entire Power steering pump! Got qouted for RM3K!!

Well, lucky now I decided to DIY & drained out all the leaked fluid wth aniti-leak fluid..so far so good & no leaking liao..touch wood...

Although with all the CKD problems on this cars, the overall maintenance cost actually not as high as my old cars..Less going to workshop except for the above parts.. Parts are expensive but wth less frequent worksop visit, the overall cost of mnaintenance actually reduced.

Furthermore...something I find it odd, the car getting powerfull wth age...Wello, I dunno why but after 4th years,..the car really feel more responsive than when I got it new in 2006..

wow really scary
my father just booked fd1 s
hope everything will be ok then
