Currently @ M state. Went to the one and only “blue type R” showroom. The SA told me “last sunday booked, car already here, waiting for JPJ registration” and I did saw the cars there ready to be collected already. And rebate the SA is giving is 1k. Damn, 500 more than mine back in KV and sooo fast got stock wtf

Start liao. My SA baru contact me say can go test drive liao. Those living near any showroom, I think can go also already.

Hmm the red looks identical already haha. Reflection looks nicer on the Civic. But as per Mazda groups n threads, they always say CKD soul red not on par with CBU soul red. So, try finding a CBU Mazda soul red and then see the difference.

I believe he did it in JB. He's JB based.

Test drive liao FE just now.

Initial thoughts upon entering the car(RS):
1) As wide as Civic FC.
2) It feels like A pillar is thick
3) the blackout interior/roof is "soothing" to me
4) Why the seat feels like there's something there pushing against my butt?

During and after drive:
1) 180Ps 240Nm is srsly no joke
2) Sport mode holds up to 6k rpm and still allowing me to go. I no balls already so I shift up
3) Acceleration is just, srsly, wow.
4) Cornering was not bad. Thks to the ultra-suade seats to keep me in the seat. (Could be RS only applicable opinion since tyres are PS4 and seats are semi leather)
5) Wish there was a HUD. Driving fast and I have "no time" to look down at my speed. I'm used to have the cheap HUD bought from an ecommerce website in my current car.
6) My SA keep ask me "corner can tekan only. go tekan only" and I'm like "??????? u wanna die? u want to pay for the car's damages if anything happens?"
7) Drive Mode selector abit susah to reach during driving. Maybe because first time drive it so not used to the placing of it.
8) After driving, I walk around the car to see if I can "appreciate" it. 80% appreciated until I see the back of the car is just so meh. Btw, this test drive car got a full spec-ed out Modulo and all of the accessories lah. (Disclaimer: 80% is I close eye on the modulo accessories)


Verdict:
1) WOW
2) V spec cukup if you are not gonna always fly corners = don't need the ultra suade seats. Also, I did not bother about the existence of that duck tail or not. 6k go take ppf or tint.
3) Civic's 18" tyre configuration is quite xpensive. 17" is cheaper.

My test drive place:
- Honda Botanic Klang
- test drive area -> 2 long straight roads with a corner at the end. I was able to fly 140++. Good mixture of highway and town/city driving (after that 2 straight roads is connected back with normal roads with holes and roundabouts)

Don't ask me compare driving this vs M competitor. Don't wanna later be called out as bias to either one of it. Go test drive yourself.

Only left side = LaneWatch. Right side u have nothing. Use your own eyes, said HM.

Older gen = i dare to speed @ corners because of how low it was. Other than that, this gen gives a more premium feel. At least for the RS that I've tested.
About NVH, I think better than FC when engine roaring. While not roaring I think it's subjective but ok la.

high chance.
I've shown my calculation before in M3 thread.
And I like being different. Like, you see civics everywhere OTR but how many times did you see M3 OTR?
So with my "love being different" attitude, it's gonna cost me an extra RM5k. (why 5k? refer to my calculation in M3 thread. )

But I'm not here to diss about Civic. As you can see, I'm fairly impressed on the output and quality. Who knows, maybe this Civic no one complain about steering rack and I cannot get M3 b4 SST ends (I have strong reasons that this SST will not extend anymore, unless got election coming la by then haha), then I'll be getting Civic. I wont be able to justify RM161k by then.

Yes. Ada.

??? You at US and car here also can lol. It’s internet based.

Ask la. LOL.

Should be the same as City RS. Not sure what's the tech behind it but I rmb it's like X50 X70 that kind, so there's like a subscription IF you want to do those checking like current location, turn on off engine etc etc.

Ur SA lazy. Cancel and chg outlet or SA. Mine 24/7 keep pushing me to get loan approve first even if I only can get after 3 months which he help me to reapply.
