Insider news?

Most likely after SST exemptions. There's a reason why they initially wanted to launch it in Jan (SST is back). I do not know why they want it launched within SST period but that's my 2 cents. Be prepared to only see RS after SST exemptions are lifted. Or they can be a little tricky to finally reveal the price in June but only can register in July.

Just visited a showroom, the dealer showed me their recently released memo to collect booking and there's like a list of goodies to give out. If not mistaken it's RM200 petrol voucher and 2 more items which I forgotten. He did mention also "on the 10th" when I asked him when it's launching. Although he did not nod or say yes when I asked "March?" but I think it's coming this Wed.

L3 is only on 100 cars right now. I read it somewhere. Not sure it's a translated or a localized news but pretty sure it's just a new thing from Honda and they wont be giving to us that soon.


Come on, L2 variants in MY already costing an extra RM10k +-. Imagine L3 and, with the type of Malaysian drivers, L3 is probably gonna give up.

RS 105k
Civic 1.8 108/9k

RS -> Bells and whistles of new tech.
Civic 1.8 -> Entry level crab but proven tech (aside from the bad QA from H)

To compare
RS 105k vs Civic TCP 134k

29k difference. You think la, worth it or not.

IMHO, 100k should be C seg already. B seg belongs @ highest 95k. Don't ask what about 96k - 99k.

btw guys, just trying my luck here. Any outlet takes downpayment via CC? Do list/mention the outlet. And if they take Amex

IF the policeman that stop you is not literal or a car guy, then it's not illegal.

Just change to one that is not too bright or similar to the higher variants. You'll be fine.

Pictures on Monday, Feedback on Tuesday, 1st day review on Wednesday, 2nd day review on Thursday, 3rd day review on Friday, acceleration and top speed review on weekend.
Following Monday 1 week review.

Tested an RS.

Impressions
1) Doesn't feel torque-ky at all.
2) Somewhat, the EPB is too low. Might as well just put the normal handbrake.
3) 0 - 10 or 20, no feel. Feel only comes after like at 50.
4) It's quieter than the fully engine City.

TBH, I rather take the 1.5TC Civic. This RS City, to me, they failed to execute it. Sorry Honda Malaysia.

Yea, finding it funny too. Why there’s no driving reviews? Hmm cnt the reviewers or even famous ones like Pauline secure one test drive unit?

I thought you have yours already? You can make the first review 😂

Hmm looks like the Hatchback version is coming next year. Not this year

Nice. Now there are 4 variants of this car.

Newest addition: 1.5 V Sensing @ RM90, 212.36

The difference from 1.5V and 1.5V Sensing?
Added HSensing and a 7”TFT Meter screen.

1.5V should be scrapped lol. Extra 4k for HSensing and that nicer meter cluster? Im down.

The only (new) difference I can compare between V, V-Sensing and RS is

1)
V & V-S = Traditional Parking Brake
RS = EPB

2)
V-S's kerb weight is 1kg more compared to V @ 1135kg. (so the Sensing module + screen meter cluster is an extra 1kg? Hahaha)

3) V = Old analog + small mini monotone screen in the middle for meter cluster
V-S & RS = 7" TFT Meter and 1 analog.

4) V = No sensing.
V-S & RS = Have.


Others are as usual.
But for extra RM4k you get "AI driving" and nicer/futuristic meter cluster, I think it's fine.

Why la HM don't want to put EPB on V-S variant?

Open spoiler for full specs view.
