Alright, I done my inspection and test drive. I believe I'm one of the first to test drive FE in Pg Island. At least that's what the sales guy tells me. My test car odo read 15km.

Here are some interesting items of discussion:
1. SA claims change speaker won't harm warranty except the obvious.
2. SA claims can wire the DVR to the battery or fusebox or 12V lighter port all with the "panel workshop" wont harm warranty.
3. SA claims can even change speaker for E spec - no harm warranty again.
4. SA says battery can be changed outside, no harm to warranty. Brake pads are no-no. But they will never know this one.

Now for the juicy part:
Honda sensing - Does not recognize SOLID white road edges properly - WTF? Even badly faded broken lines in the middle of the road are recognized....LKAS does not work at low speeds on solid white road edges which are perfectly painted.

Drive - I personally feel, but I may long suffered memory lost that the acceleration is one small step less than the FC TCP.
I drove all the way up to 100km/h on town roads, I don't feel any problem but I think Altis is slightly better in the corners. Could be I was paying wayy too much attention to the Honda sense functions.

But the zing is there, the torque is there, it feels like a car wanting to go fast.

NVH is better than FC. Drive is more refined. On a par with cheaper continentals like a Peugeot.

Seating positoin is a bit better than FC for the driver.

in the E-spec I tested also the audio - with Apple carplay. Sounds reasonable for a 4 speaker set. But nothing to write home about.

Touch screen is responsive, carplay is responsive. Voice control works.

Fabric seats - these are very very normal things. The driver one, with lacking lumbar support is a bit sad, I need to bring my own.
Edit - Removed.

No speaker wires to the rear top panel.

The 4 speakers for E spec are : 1 x 6.5" at the front door card, 1x unknown full range driver at the rear door card (suspect between 6.5 to 5"). All makes 4 speakers. No tweeter. The upgrade path for me is 2 coaxial full range at the front, 6.5in. Rear will be left as is, if not enough than a set of mid full range + Tweeter and cross over.

That's what I remember for now.

I didnt go to your recommended one, because it is actually far from me (Bayan Lepas). But believe me, there is one just as power at the one near me.

Except with the mask on I can only imagine the lower half of the face. lol

So any recommendations on where and what tinting to do ? I am based in Penang.

3M good ah? What model and spec?
Any others?

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....
