No such thing as maintenance A and B together. Maintenance A is oil change only. Maintenance B is oil change + fuel filter change. But normally the SC would recommend to change fuel filter on A as well. It’s up to you as there is no danger to follow honda’s recommendation. Won’t void warranty despite what sc says.

If you meant the maintenance on other parts + oil change, the standard recommendation is to group the servicing within 3k km iirc. There isn’t anything put in writing though, and you are free to group or ungroup it - no issues on warranty as long as you don’t go over the mileage by too much (more than 3k km iinm). If you don’t group it, it simply means that you may visit the SC more often. Once to change oil, another to change parts.

Ha3! Yes, engine oil filter. Not that expensive though around rm35.

That “sink” in at rear seats was way worse on the 2016 FC. I had issues going in and out since i’m a big guy. Rear door opening still small though lol.

Is this complaint only inherent on the V spec which is full leather? I drove on the RS JB-KL-JB with no such issues. Anyone on the E spec also face the same issue?

Personally, i don't feel any significant difference between FC and FE seats other than the side bolsters on the FE are a lot better. The RS "alcantara/fabric" seats make hard cornering better grip on my butt.

Don't feel like it's too hard/soft. But not sure la - my butt & body shape may not be the same as others - i'm a big guy (176cm & 100+kg) so ymmv

Slo-mo video of the Smart Clear Wiper, if anyone is interested to see

Just collected my Honda lucky draw phone - supposed to collect on 7 March, but life happened, could only collect today. Apple iPhone 13 Pro, 128GB. Good luck to those registering your cars in Feb & March!

It’s one month or 1k km. You can go beyond 1k if required, but not above 3k. Unless you don’t really drive that much and hit 1 month, I recommend you just wait until 1k. But no issues if you go earlier.

If you meant to go for checking for the honda sensing sound without waiting for the 1k service, yes can. But normally need to book first before going, and it won’t go to the service bay, but repair bay. I don’t notice any sounds on my car.

Correct - their RS spec is 17 inch rims, but with full 10.2” digital cluster screen (i would’ve preferred this). Their 17” RS rims are the same design with our 17” V spec rims, but RS theme is blacked out rims.

If i’m not mistaken, 32psi / 220kpa is the same recommended tyre pressure for all E, V, and RS spec tyres. Not sure how Honda engineers calculate, when Mazda 3 similar body weight and tyre dimensions has higher recommended pressure. I do know from experience that higher pressure (when driving out from dealer until I refilled the tyres) would return harsher drives. Didn’t notice any difference in handling though, but I don’t drive on the track la… some spirited driving and taking fast corners only.

Only for high speed driving >160km/h if i remember correctly

2022 Honda Civic e:HEV hybrid revealed – 184 PS/315 Nm electric motor, 2.0L direct-injected petrol engine.

Malaysia might launch this car too - but for sure price will be higher - my guess around 160k

1.5T is similar to a 2.5 NA engine in terms of output - ok laaaa. Coming from a 2.0 NA civic FD to the FC in 2016, the performance was significantly better, and better fuel consumption too. If the Civic Hybrid launches with a hatchback body + 10.2" digital cluster + Qi Charger + Bose speakers + Blindspot monitoring system + Moonroof for less than RM170k, I would be tempted to sell my RS lol!

Wow 9.8km/l - either you must have a lot of hills on your daily drive, or face a lot of traffic jams. I thought I got it bad at 12km/l for too many short drives (6km/way home --> office, 12km daily drive).

Can request to change - a number of previous FC forummers did it, just need to pay la.

Actually European cars already started to not need to change the oil for the first 1,000km for a number of years already. Now even 15k km/12 months oil change if I remember correctly.

Toyota cars have a mandatory service oil change at 1,000km & 5,000km though...

Honda engineers sure already did their homework la - this is a global car anyhow

Maybe… the reason why the RS is out of stock until July is because they will change the RS engine to e:HEV?

Actually this new engine with higher bhp + torque eats more fuel than my previous 2016 FC. I can easily get 13-14km/l in city and 16-17km/l in highway. Somehow in my current experience for the FE, it’s 11-12km/l for city and 14-15km/l for highway.

Can see my fuelly in my signature for comparison.

17” wheels 215/50/17. Weight for the 2016 TC-P was 1,316KG vs 2022 RS 1362KG.

Yeah, don’t really care coz seriously can feel more power and more stability on the new car - just something I noticed lah. But during my FD2 days, 8km/l for city and 12km/l for highway was the norm

My 2005 Honda City GD8 VTEC had the best fuel economy in my experience. Effortlessly getting 15km/l for city and 18km/l for highway. Of coz… power is lacking la… 170km/h++ max and then suddenly go down to 160km/h++ due to lack of bhp to maintain the speed

Just checking with current owners - your Honda Connect App - do you have this same problem with “My Service”?

Car status abnormal - normally this happens when I put the car on ACC mode for a while, then turn off the car. Somehow the system thought that the check engine light / battery warning was legitimate.

To remove the warning, go to Car Status -> Detail, Press on “Edit”, choose the messages, press on “Delete”. Should be “Normal” status

Maybe not stuck. It goes down in 100km decrements. Or if you face a lot of traffic jams / idle the car engine regularly, it might go down every 60-80km.
