Yeah I believe the door sticker is 32 while the owner manual will be showing funny 35/33

probably overseers emissions/FC concerns so pump higher getting lesser rolling resistance for better FC

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

hi, want to ask if the current gen civic is too low? last time sit my friend's ketam civic with 4 passengers going through speed hump will scratch the undercarriage (dunno correct term or not).

glad you ask and i was just done taking pictures of a comparison!

my answer: yes and no.

and no, the suspensions are much better this time around and so far no issues flying over speed bumps. haven't got a full load of 4 passengers though.

from my short test drive, the answer is yes and no

yes the height is probably similar to the FC

but no, the seats and suspension are much better this time round, entry and exit is a much more pleasant experience, and flying over speed bumps is no problem either

so i can say under low speed going through speed bump would not be an issue?

i see. gonna test drive it soon to find out. in considering this E spec or yolo Peugeot 2008.

to me low high speed also ok

.
In reality the new Civic is still a very short car compared to 86 BRZ




And it looked like Civic car has some negative camber from factory




86 BRZ on stock wheels looks a lot straighter (with factory specs at 0 to -0.3)

Anyone done an alignment check/reading on the new FE Civic yet to confirm?
I'm estimating -0.5 degrees camber

If you're familiar with Toyota GT86 or Subaru BRZ, both cars side by side the new FE Civic isn't much taller and I'm curious to find the actual numbers.

(all in cm) So:
86 BRZ 128.5
FC 141.6
FE 141.5

=edit=
update with more solid measurements
13 cm no wonder the difference on height isn't glaringly obvious.

also, technically, the FE is even shorter than FC, yet doesn't feel that way at all!

not really familiar with those car you mentioned bro
just test drove it. feels solid and stable car.

glad you enjoy it!

random comparison: the Mazda 3 is actually higher! @ 144 cm or 143.5 hatchback

brothers how long need to wait if book ya?

what do you mean FE is even shorter than FE?

my bad on typo, fixed!

From https://www.carsguide.com.au/honda/civic/car-dimensions/2022, Civic FE is having 134mm Ground clearance unladen while Civic FC should 133mm

According to Paultan:
Other driving-related changes relate to the suspension, with the front MacPherson struts receiving new low-friction ball joints and front damper mount bearings to improve steering feel and self-centring, while the spring and damper alignment has been optimised to minimise operational friction.

I think Civic FE will be much better compared to Ketam FC unless 4 passengers all is 3 digits weighted

I have booked RS white in Penang on 16th January and still waiting for the car, would like to know anyone else in Penang booked on January onward already get the RS model?

https://<link removed>/2022/03/24/2022-honda-c...-petrol-engine/ <-- paulinetan link

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

seems a decent proposition especially if you're in for the torque or allergic to downsized turbo (it does have its drawbacks lol, but fortunately not as bad as 1liter turbos on heavy cars lol)

yes the petrol head in me talking with zero fucks for hybrid benefits lol

hatchback wor...msia will bring in?

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!
