The ceiling one I can look past it.... since you are not really gonna poke it everyday like that. But the door panel is kinda unacceptable for a car in this price range. Hope you all agree with me....

This may be a very stupid question, but did any of you get jumper cables with your new Honda Civic. Couldn't find any.

hi have any whatsapp or telegram group ?

I got V variant, but I don't have butt pain problem. Drove 4 hours in one trip. But my passenger complaint the seat being too low to the ground, and for passengers seat, height is not adjustable.

I tried sitting as a passenger too. It's way too low for me as well. It is especially bad for old poeple.

How you guys deal with it? It seem this passenger seat height thing is worst on civic ketam.

Yeah but our car have none of those.

There's 5 years warranty unlimited mileage.

No for me lol

You got FE or Ketam?

Seat in FE is raised in both passenger and rear

Rear for FE also may have a bit more inclination for better comfort

Hi guys, anyone tried the Honda official tinting (ray barrier). Is it really not worth it for that 1.6k? Any photos? Thanks

Just a suggestion, maybe lumbar support is missing? Can try to add a piece of cushion.
If you have not purchased the new car and still thinking, why not go and check out other cars within the budget and see if it’s the same, worse or better?

Tbh Im not too bothered or I have already accepted the fact that the door cards are very flimsy haha.

Mazda 3 definitely doesn't have this issue.... havent checked out the Corolla yet

But that's not my point. Thing is my current 50k A segment car doesn't even have this issue! If I'm spending 3x on an upgrade I would expect at least similar if not better build quality

But anyway seems like a lemon unit. I will double check again when I drop by the showroom again soon

CBU... but you pay CBU price.

Also, lower owner and/or sales, less issue should be norm?

Your A is what, Picanto? Same also cold door car? But is CKD IINM? Or CBU? either way, my point is that not every Civic faced that issue, and if you're still worried, there are (or actually not really, depending on your criteria) other options.

I can say build quality is there, because I don't have those issue, so would you think it is subjective feedback? Your money your judgement.

SKD... no longer allowed under the new NAP

Anyway I agree overall Civic FE is still an improvement over FC quality wise as I've personally inspected and drove it

Still my stand is.... there's bound to be expectations when you're spending a certain amount of money, and I can understand the frustration and disappointment of those with such issues. Warranty is there yes, but everyone would be happier if there's no need to claim in the first place

Oh damn, totally forgotten about SKD and that's abolished around 2019?

Ok also la, just pros and cons to us having potentially less choices/competition.

I agree on the expectations. We had similar expectations too. But we're also confident the SA who served my wife family around/over 20 or so years won't simply burn bridges. It'll be very foolish to do so. And fortunately for us even if issues arise, I still got one other car, and my wife is still in confinement center.
(Yes we pretty much planned all that and contingencies for the worst case scenario)

If you havent decided, what exactly is stopping you from buying Mazda 3? I dont mean this sarcastically, I think its not a bad option and you can just proceed. You don't need to check out Corolla anymore, since you have already done so.

Time stamp : around 7:25-8:00

North american build - Surely similar enough to Japan?

The door panel can say so can flex in and out easily because the panel itself is a thin and large piece of plastic, and that same time is BARELY supported in the center. Means to say is more design choice rather than manufacturing / quality control.

The flexing thing, I can say my Civic also flexes and some other cars are stiffer. But is this a real quality issue or PERCEIVED quality? End of the day perhaps 2 more screw points would have changed the outcome significantly, which I believe was a standard in a few of my ex cars. Don't forget Honda is actually a budget car in world market and it is designed in that way for a lot of parts.

Not sure why you are being so defensive. Ppl are expecting better quality when they are paying > RM100k for a car. Is normal to have a % of lemon units due to the high sales. As we all know civic is king of c segment in Malaysia. So just admit that Honda can do a better job at here.

Ppl often compare between civic, altis and mazda3. There are ppl at here visiting thread about civic, altis and mazda3 back and forth before placing order. They want to get the best value out of it.

Ours can't say Japan also. Depending on how the CKD portion and manufacturing goes, our plastic may be worse material (quality) and become softer?

But yes, your linked YouTube video also indicated a design choice. Holy shit one piece and need some skill to yank the panel off (and specificity mentioned on broken clips hahaha, I'm so deterred to touch it within 5 years warranty lol!)

He isn't defensive at all and genuinely (I believe, as he specifically mentioned no sarcasm intended) want to help poster's decisions. And yes, everyone is well aware it's a hot competition with this c segment sedan and it is usually this level where we're going upper market and we genuinely have financial concerns that we want our money well spent.

That comes to points I've mentioned on choosing Civic over Mazda 3 /Altis before in this thread and I'll mention again:
1) Mazda pricing for the 2.0 is absurd reaching d segment level. The CBU make no sense to me when Honda is CKD saving you many tens of thousands.
2) Toyota CBU Thailand is similar, however they managed to cheap out pricing maintaining competitiveness against the Civic. At the expense of specs and previously, no dynamic force engine is rather bullshit to me as I value mechanicals and internals greatly (more of a function over form person)
Camry RECENTLY received the dynamic force engine.

Better do outside. Rm2k can get 3M Crystalline products which one of the best from 3M

Is Honda Malaysia cut cost on those sound insulation material inside? Im more curious for the NVH. Most shop known that the Malaysia manufactured Honda lack of those. No doubt the features is the best in our market vs other region

To me I don't think so.

Then again, our previous HRV was 2015 car, and my own car is 2013, vehicles those years admittedly lack on NVH, to the point a 2018 Proton Persona performed better on NVH.

Now for this car, I believe standards risen much higher, as there is standardization and globalization.

We can say it is easy to cut cost, but the reality is a different build of material/spec means another development and/or another production line.
That adds cost!
