Engine is a different story, can be few ten thousands of difference there

But that 10" cluster..... how much difference its gonna make? Also the fact that we are the only region in SEA to not get that in the RS spec just made me more sour

Ok I should stop here before I'm starting to sound too petty for a 10" screen

guys guys, sorry for interrupt ya
actually does the 10.2 digital really that bother the vision or interior?
i saw alot lot lot ppl complaining for it, is that due to the price should have the digital meter or?

For me it does not bother too much or actually i love that half digital due to i saw the other 10.2 digital meter are look like slight low resolution and... how to say.. fragile? tsk not good in describe...
at least the half digital still looks good like normal as we used on current vehicles...

by the way i can understand most ppl would desire to get more since money paid lah,
wireless charges... not really useful i guess..
honda keyless card... how often bringing a thick card as key and i worry ease to lost it LOL
10.2 digital.... well, own preference i guess, maybe i am still live in old gen...hahaha

hahaha..i saw the price, straight think of you coz i remember you posted in many topic about your decision thinking.
so now how? go for civic or what? 

You want a crossover or sedan? For family purposes probably the cross is more practical

Anyone knows what's the best HP rate based on $110k loan amount with 7 years tenure? BTW going for RS, haven't bought a car in 14 yrs....

How's the seating positions

Is it really very low

Uncle worried aunty will find difficulty to get in and out with low seating positions

Yes can. I also added on Trunk Tray & Illuminated Side step. My SA handling it.
Not sure, but I was offered 2.11% for 105k + 7 years from Affin.

Also - I went to see the car in person today. Just had a look, no test drive. So comparing it with my 2016 FC (launch unit too)

1. The rear side passenger has the biggest upgrade IMHO. If you had sat at the rear in the FC, it’s seating is really “deep” as in you were seating quite a bit behind the door opening. It’s a bit difficult to enter or exit. FE fixed that and has a more normal rear seating position.

2. Engine bay for the FE is much more roomier. You can see the extra crumple zones and more breathing room compared to FC. Open up the engine bay, and it’s immediately noticeable.

3. The new seats with “leather like fabric” on the FE compared to full leather on the FC feels like a downgrade. But in terms of comfort, maybe FE has the slight edge. Seat height is the same with the FC - pretty sure when people say FE seating is low, they never had a seat in the FC.

4. Drive view is much better on FE - mind you this is not on the road but in the showroom. Feel like the A pillar blindspot is much more minimal in the FE compared to FC.

5. The buttons on steering wheel functions similarly to the FC. In fact, I like the layout on the new FE better with proper single buttons on the FC for volume up/down. Not sure if there is a quick mute function similar to FC (swiping down quickly on volume).

6. The floor lights and red lighting accents are very subtle, but appreciated. Feel like the cabin lights are also better in illuminating the cabin.

Things i gathered that Honda Msia has decided to omit from the local Civic FE (for even the highest RS variant) but is available to be spec-ed for the Civic include:

1. Smart key card
2. Dual climate control
3. Bose sound system
4. Sunroof
5. Wireless charger
6. Full digital meter cluster

Things that make our market's Civic unique:
1. Highest engine output in the region

Things i kinda wish it had but is not found on the Civic FE worldwide:
1. 360 view
2. All 4 windows auto up/down
3. Hands-free trunk operation
4. Blind spot monitoring instead of Lane Watch camera

Did i miss anything out?  Still, some features are really commendable such as the 18' rims with PS4, and the full Safety suite.

Why do you even want to convert wired CP to wireless CP when the head unit already has wireless CP???? What's the point of doing so?
If you want to charge your phone and use CP, just plug it into the USB outlet that is for normal wired CP/AA and your CP/AA will still work as usual.

Im back to rant again.... wouldn've been the perfect C segment ride if it comes with the 10" digital cluster

No worries! a car is still a car regardless of it’s spec.

Sadly I can’t find any links for Wireless and CarPlay. but to mod for wired AA got lah, but already got wired AA/CP in E spec.

Try rebudget and see if your budget allows V spec. Hope you can get wireless CP n V spec!

same bro, any news on the new HRV?
Wanted a new car soonest but considering civic low seat/ height position and Sarawak bad road condition..

yes, penang area... can pm me your contact number... will ask leng lui SA to contact you later
