I though the CVT gear box issue on the City has already been rectified in the pre-facelift version?

Diriving the new Civic 2.0s with the new 17 inch rims. No problems so far. 1 month plus already.

There wasn't a price increase for 1.8. They changed the rims and tyres on the 2.0s so that they can increase the price cause the difference between 1.8 and 2.0 is not much, according to my SA at Honda.

One thing that wasn't mentioned in the new Honda Civic 2.0s with 17 inch rims, is the addition of an air-con pollen filter. My SA told me this.

It suppose to block particles form outside air from coming into the car's cabin. But seriously, I can't feel anything. But I did read some forums saying that there were funny smell from the air-con of the previous 2.0s and it was rectify after installing a filter.

You can get it fix at any Honda service centre for around RM100.
