This is the only Thai english review i can find. Not very detailed review also

More information can be displayed on the screen vs the current 7" display. Also generally just make the whole interior more modern and upmarket, just like a modern car that was released now instead of from the yesteryears





But this is also personal preference. Some dispise digital screen and only want analogue dials

Also when adaptive cruise control is on, you get to see cars around you that are detected by the sensors displayed on the screen, just like a Tesla. Gimmick i know but who doesnt like a cool gimmick?

This is what Hyundai Kia have been doing for quite some time, and its genius (another push for the Koreans here sorry Honda)





For Civic FE BSM, you can get the OEM sensor from China actually. But to make it work with the car system, not sure if its plug and play or some coding is required

Funnily enough.... the only time HM included BSM in any of their cars is when they try to clear stock for the previous HRV

I think there's some car makers out there that tried that and decided its not worth the effort and costs... Now they go all out replacing the side mirrors with wide angle cameras instead.

Yeah I know. Most early BSMs also come with this design before they move the indicators to the side mirrors. The placement of the indicator doesnt matter actually if the function works well, but of course it doesnt look as pleasing as the side mirror implementation

I doubt its an original Honda BSM. Most likely some OEM part sourced from China based on the design. You can actually retrofit BSM to a lot of cars, if your car model is popular enough you can actually find all kinds of 3rd party implementation from China

ohhh this gonna be way off topic already

but my opinion is regardless if it does strengthen.... the damage is already done (prices won't come down except for regulated products)

So fast someone letting go their car? And lol @ that cushion on the driver seat.... does E spec suffer from the same hard seat issue as RS?

New Honda Accord with first ever Google Automotive OS in a Honda. Possible for FE facelift to use this system as well?

There's plentiful of new Camry compared to Accord at KL Selangor area. Unless u are referring specifically to the latest facelift with Dynamic Force, I heard the issue was long waiting period and quantities are limited


Anyway its impossible for Civic eHEV to breach 170k mark based on Thailand pricing, couple with the fact that its CKD

166k is a bit over my expectation actually.... i was thinking 165k but good thing it didnt touch the 170k zone

I guess its the price to pay for all the goodies. Still lacking Bose sound and blind spot monitor though, but not a big deal as long there's the full digital driver display

In the end..... you are actually buying the eHEV for the technology and extra features instead of fuel consumption. If you wanted to save fuel going for the Turbo actually make more sense in the long term and maintanence wise. The fuel consumption of the eHEV might even be insignificant on highway cruising vs the Turbo


But this is all assuming RON95 maintains at 2.05 per L in the coming years

Its actually priced the highest amongst the competition now with the exception of the Golf R Line, it better be offering more lol

So you gotta ask yourself whether you want the tech and features offered. Not to mention its still not a perfect package despite the price (no Bose, BSM and RCTA). But sometimes just have to give and take due to our market and policy

Honda claim they made some tuning and improvement to the chasis for the eHEV. Maybe Turbo owners can test drive and verify the claims

requote my old post as well since i believe Thai's car should be more similar to us

Wonder why still no aftermarket Civic Si / hatchback grille is available. Definitely make the front look better. Also much better than that after thought Modulo plastic slap on



This post has been edited by ZeneticX: Nov 16 2022, 03:28 PM

Civic Si, hatchback and Type R all share the similar front grille. Only the sedan have the flowerhorn hump

Type R have a different bumper than the rest

good thing about going for a Civic is that plenty of mods and aftermarket stuffs are available

there's even more if you take time to browse Taobao



btw, dashboard cover is dangerous imo since it covers your airbag

if that's the case you can use dashboard cover when your car is parked but please remove it when you are driving

or better still get one of this

Fyi to those buying eHEV, RHB offers Green Financing for EV, PHEV and HEV vehicles which promises lower interest rate

Maybe someone can try
