JB around 4-5k. Takes about a week at the most. I'm guessing the 1 month plus includes repairs & waiting for parts. Or there is a high volume of customers, doesn't make sense 1 month plus.

Oil change is much much cheaper than engine repair.

Battery can't support that much power for long

Doing a quick calculation on "making eHEV worth it" - let's make a few general assumption:

1. Turbo Civics can go 12km/l
2. eHEV Civics can go 20km/l.
3. Price of RON95 maintain at RM2.05/L
4. Price difference between Turbo & eHEV does not consider cheaper interest rate and higher insurance cost for eHEV.
5. Price difference between Turbo & eHEV is RM15,800 (RS Turbo vs RS eHEV)
6. Assume you drive 20,000km / year

It takes 11.6 years to break even / basically you need to drive 232,000KM for it to break even with the above assumption. This is not even calculating the cost of changing battery which warranty only lasts 8 years.

Obviously, only get eHEV if you like the features / like the power for hybrid / want to support cleaner engine / in anticipation that RON95 will go up in price - if RON95 goes to RM3.00/L, it will take 7.9 years (158,000KM) to break even.

Correct, basically don't buy because it's fuel saving - it's not worth it.

I'm not poo pooing any of you for choosing to buy eHEV - just saying don't choose it because it's "fuel saving" coz it's not worth it - but definitely buy because of the specs / power / fits your lifestyle

In any case, welcome to the Civic 11 club!

Did you read my conclusion? I did write to buy it for the specs & power, don’t buy it for the lower fuel consumption.

In any case, I support you guys to buy the Civic eHEV and welcome you to the Civic 11 community!

-edit-

Also, the Sensing system is the same across all Civic 11 range which is inclusive of the lead car departure notification system

This. Also, no hard braking for the first 500km iinm - it's listed on the booklet.

Just renewed my insurance - posted for reference

HIP benefits trumps any savings imho. Windscreen was quoted that amount by Honda, better follow. Might be expensive due to Sensing.

Of course, different people, different way of thinking.

FAQ compiled by me way back when FAQ Civic FE

Also, anyone know the price of Michelin PS5 for Civic RS 235/40 R18. Thanks in advance!

Any idea hot much is it now? Budgeting RM850/pc, planning to change them mid of this month.

Original Honda battery is maintenance free. No need to topup. I thought all new car batteries from all manufacturers are already maintenance free.

I enabled the setting, but never tested Wireless AA coz don’t use Android anymore, just iOS + Wireless Carplay. The HU does crash from time to time - maybe once a month, HU startup takes a minute, but don’t think it’s because of Wireless AA. Honda Connect app never crashed on me yet, besides the bug in the early days of Civic. That one everyone had trouble with the app.

As of yesterday:

Previous Service Mileage: 7,080 km
Servicing Reminder: 17,080 km

Current Mileage: 13,026 km
Maintenance Minder: 6,100 km

Thus, I have an extra 2,000 km at my current pace.

My wife's HRV is even crazier (HRV V Spec) since she is driving 40+km a day at 60-70km'h average & 130++ km/h top speed.

Previous Service Mileage: none
Servicing Reminder: 10,000 km

Current Mileage: 7,002 km
Maintenance Minder: 6,500 km

She has an extra 3,500 km at her current pace.

I'm guessing its the idling time that's killing your oil life. Me and my wife both really have low idle time (none to little traffic jams) and we both don't warm up/cool down the car after driving. This July I will be moving office, so I am saying goodbye to the low mileage - current typical daily drive is roughly 12km, and will be around 45km when we move.

FOC. Just see see look look tighten tighten

Need to go 1 month OR 1k km. Failure to do so may result in warranty request being denied in the future. They don't do anything except inspect and tighten things and FOC.

My advise, just go la. Need to waste some time only.

They tighten stuff on wheels, engine etc, not the cabin stuff. If got rattling / squeeking need to come on other days for checks, not during preventative maintenance service.

Ownership Verification for Honda Connect not working now. Tried to verify both Civic and HR-V failed. Not sure app is having problem or my network at this area has issues. Funnily enough, it’s showing the correct position and trips in the app. Will try again tomorrow morning

Ok - just verified both cars. Indeed Ownership Verification had problems last night, as I successfully verified my Civic without any issues. The HRV continued to have problems verifying, until I did one small trick:

I remembered yesterday, the odometer just changed while I was parking, so I decided to enter 1 less KM e.g current odometer 7,107km, I entered 7,106km into the app. It worked - immediately verified.

So if you encounter this problem verifying your Honda Connect, do try this trick.
