Door panels rattling, I believe if we go outside and soundproof the doors. Those pros will know how to catch the sounds..

My previous car door panel after 7 years only solved by sound proofing shop..
*
yes that the only way. plus ckd honda melaka is known for cost-cutting practices (verified with the insulation shop when opening up the roof for accord) on Sound insulation materials. Cons at insulation shop, pricey, takes time, u need to resign that your car will get "raped" by their technician until all things open (seat, roof, door trim etc) until bare metal. Then hopeful that the parts open did not break during opening/install practice, so please go to a well-established shop with experience tech.

repaint whole car can cost around 6k right? and when repaint, they will also need to open everything.. and dunno la over west msia, at sarawak here my fren bought a second hand civic and repaint, took like 1 month plus to complete everything lol.
*
it's just too high, a recommended paint shop with great reviews only cost rm3k-4k for a sedan, if your car doesn't have a major issues (dent etc). And it need 2 weeks at least. If u ask SC, yes rm6k above (Sg Long Kajang 4S Body and paint quoted my sedan repaint all at rm8k). A regular paint shop, it u survey, can even get repainting all at rm2k. This is a bigger deal than make a PPF biggrin.gif

I think if outside only is around 3-4k.. not sure.. never painted before my previous cars.

i've read on fb groups people do PPF the whole car, main intention is to retain the resale value of the car.
So far i notice when selling off old cars, their first thing will be mileage/engine/suspensions etc.

Paint chips/ scratches will be the last thing to see, as long as nothing major. (Base on my previous car selling)

so for example if we ppf the whole car for 7-8k (not sure market price), next time sell car, must add on the at least 7-8k to the selling price of the old car  brows.gif
*
I did a ppf only on the front section of the car and I not opted for a high-end branded PPF which cost expensive. as long it works to prevent rock chips, I will be happy. All PPF needs to maintain, ie put it less under the hot sun if possible as will get yellowish in long run.

i think in general, all honda paint is thin. friend's city also got stone chips after few mths. perodua also known to be thin, while proton is known to be thick. not sure about other makes, dun own others or meetup with other car make owners to discuss about stone chips haha
*
Mazda the same, even their premium paint red color which needs rm3k top-up. If u ask any paint shop, there are paint materials/brands that are better, long-lasting, and generally thicker. manufacturers pushing for lower cost or there is any environmental factor for them to select thin paint?

yeah me too, 190k too close to a bmw/merc already. i think likely around 170k based on Thailand car pricing

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
*
Yes the facelift with brand new Dynamic force engine. Kinda want to see it odr but yet to found it

among all EV cars sold here, all suffer from lower RV vs ICE. I better wait for the used market then.

To me its good to always switch brands. Before I had Suzuki, VW, proton, and now honda. life is too short to just stick with one manufacturer, fun to experience new type of cars!
*
for me the after-sales service also important. when Honda has been high sales since a few years ago, some of their SC also become peak proton sales era time, "its normal" is kind of a norm statement by certain branches of Honda SC. Need to go to recommended SC when having an issue, or claim warranty. My good SC when on Honda are 4S Honda Sg Long, Kajang, New Era SC Kajang and Global Amity Bangi 4S. Worst was Semenyih SC.

If you got money to pay government CBU tax, you definitely have money to completely replace the seat.

To me the seats are not an excuse at all.
(In fact I'm personally fine on not doing anything about it, but being married it isn't about myself only, obviously)

Long run if it me, i will bring to leather car seat shop, upgrade the foam below it.

Hard 70% vlt one can block heat 99% lol, uv normally is 99% liao haha. Like tat wat tint can recommend that no need dark but good one.

SA hard sell me white eh, say free dvr and free visor 😂 if grey no free cos they cannot achieve this year target lol

Updated: decided to take white 😂
*
Tint, need to check the IRR and TSER percentage. 5 years ago, spend rm2k for tint with ok IRR,. 90% IRR cz want the smart tag to work. It still ok for the tint in term of heat rejection today, after 7 years.

2 years ago, purposely tried local tint brand with top level specification, IRR 99% TSER 70%. Verified it on meter, and best part rm900 including sunroof. 2 years parking or put the car under hot sun, the leather seat still comfortable to sit at noon time.

Spec for tint is important when choose a car tint.

I like that this time the honda civic styling and features are quite similar globally compared to previous generations so these reviews are still helpful. Main difference for us would be the workmanship of the Melaka factory!
*
and the NVH materials behind the dashboard, door trim, and roof. Based on my buddies who work there as Engineer,if there is any saving practice that can be made up to the production line, the management will encourage it.
