I see. Can understand how u try to install the baby seat

But on another note, later your friend says “hey u been driving civic for 3.5 years and yet u change into another civic, aren’t u bored with it?” Or something like this along the line then u will start tiny bit of regret? Haha
Wow this need to top up a lot to the bank... i’m 175cm, and today experience is quite uncomfortable for me already haha

The peace of mind in a new car supercedes with a reliable engine ,beats that actually.

I don't understand, when some people buy cars to keep and not tekan.jaga nicely then sell it off after 9 years. For me.. i will ride that car hard.

If i buy do buy a bmw.. odds are the cost to maintain my drive style will double up or maybe more compared to a civic..so yea buying is easy. Maintaining it though...

because a huge majority of the driver in malaysia buy the car for the looks only
they don't really have the money to maintain the car
tekan = higher maintenance

some drivers never maintain their car from the moment they bought the car...not even an oil change laugh.gif

my friend tekan her alza but she got the $$$ to maintain it....until now 180k, the car is still service at SC

I think my FD is much lower than ketam. Hate driving a higher car. Feels like driving a van.
I like to drive fast and take corner. Lower clearance is good for me. More stable.

It is farking shiok when cornering.

Wait till you bend to go in the car everyday for years. I know someone sold a 1 year TCP because cannot stand bending going in the car everyday especially if you're tall.

it's definitely fun to push
i push my car too although it's auto...but i will drop it to 3rd and rev it
but i take care of my car's engine compartment

but recently searching for used car, checked a few car myself...found out many don't even take good care of theirs
1 car being the worst i suspect never service the car ever....EO on minimum, gearbox oil on minimum and not pink colour, radiator completely dry rclxub.gif
this kind of car how to push laugh.gif ...if i push, maybe need overhaul already
the car is not even 5 years old and 60k KM only

So low but still many people buy it. I think in the long run it is bad for the back

Title says "low ground clearance", usually means distance between road surface and chassis.

First post says seating position low - leg can put straight.

You're talking about Flintstone's car, where your legs touch the road?

sounds like more of a seat height adjustment issue
civic is an economy car not a sports car
wait till u sit in a GT86 and you will know what is real low feel

driving position in a Civic is ok actually driven the car couple of times
what gets me the most is the bad interior quality not the driving position
TS is probably used to sit in high riding SUVs or MPVs

Look for those done via SC. Dia tekan pun u tak takut. Thats why i insisit go sc. Create a nice scrapbook..moment u sell, record cantik keluar.

But its costly.. i spend average 3-4k per year just for civic maintenance.

The reason for being low is that you don't crashed head on with lorry but just get flattened by it.

sabah here is extremely hard to find full service record car
because all cheapskate wanna save money but forgot that they know nuts about cars as well
so the car become very unreliable due to lack of care..at the end, they blame the brand instead of themselves

If you sit on the passenger seat. Yes, probably it will be too low for you as if you just sit on the floor and stretch your legs on it. But if you're in driver's seat, you can adjust the height at least not too low and comfortable to drive.
