should be ok i guess, xkan Honda engineers design the car to drive at 110-120 only.

just enjoy the car and don't worry too much

some recalls on the civic

Hi wanna ask, is it rear left side the car is slightly lower?
The wheel arch gap is smaller on the rear left compare to rear right

about 1-2mm only. i try with fingers

i think is because of the petrol tank is on the rear left..

just my OCD.

If I’m still waiting for the turbo RS now, I might get the hybrid.

But I believe hybrid OTR would be near to 170k.

Makes my 4 month old 140k OTR V spec a good buy 🫣😂 (syok sendiri and self comforting)

Yeah.. the only thing I hope to have is the digital instrument.

I wonder if the hybrid version comes with full Bose sound system.. if it does that would be awesome

Nice.. any indication when you’ll get the car? Saw on fb the car official launching in mid November

my door panels have some sound when on rough road surfaces, not always but its there.

if 10 years back when i was young, i think im already going crazy. MUST solve immediately. Nowadays im too lazy to be bothered by these.

Age has caught up i guess. AS long as the car drives well, these are small issues.

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..

Btw, is it just me or others think this as well.

Honda’s paint is quite thin? Compare to my previous car. I feel it’s quite thin. Mild mild scratches super easily

To me if ppf only front bumper/portion still acceptable..

But if ppf the whole car.. might as well save up the money and repaint after 4-5 years.

But that’s just my opinion. I’m too kedekut to spend on ppf.

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

my car, 5 months old, 2850km..

early signs of steering rack sound appears.. faint duk duk sound..

only gonna complain during next service.

My car 5 months old finally hit 3000km..

Super underutilized 😵‍💫😂

i would say just leave it as it is.. imagine after few years the protector plastic harden and when removing it might damage the panel..


hairline scratches...just leave it

during my car collection i checked:

- Chassis number tally with car grant

-the doors, boot, hood by opening the widest.

-paint/scratches, mine is black so during collection already can see some light swirl marks due to washing, understandable i just ignore.
and there's a small spot of paint defect on the passenger door, SA offer me to redo but i just tell him its ok. only noticeable at certain angle.

-i took out all seats plastic cover to check the leather

-checked instrument panels, headunit, A/C, etc. My SA go through with me the functions. Take your time, as for me it takes some time to process the functions.

- Right after i left the showroom, i went to petrol station to release some tire pressure.


and most importantly, take a nice photo with a big ribbon

anything u do to the engine, high chance HM will void your warranty

if its just drop in filter, before go to SC just swap back original filter.

as for performance, on my previous car, k&N drop in do improve the low end , but not much. it just lets your engine breath easier.

i tried removing the passenger side door panel and rectify the problem.
went for a test drive without the door panel, rattling noise disappeared, so the noise is from the panel itself.

tighten some screws behind the panel, especially the 4 screws holding the ambient light case (mine is V spec there's no ambient light but the black casing is there)

installed back, sound gone but occasionally still appear. its the ambient light casing rubbing against the panel.

meter navigation

Carplay - Apple Maps
Android Auto - Google Maps

luckily i managed to rectify the sound, but once a while it still come back, i have to press that area and the rattle sound is gone.
when i'm free im going to remove again and put some thin black foam in between the ambient light case and door panel. that should solve it i believe



from here i think there're more than 4 screws holding the ambient light case, i retighten them and noticed 4 were slight loose, if you were to diy, try not to overtighten it.

i followed this guide to remove the door panel, relatively easy


i went for a test drive like this to make sure the sound is not from inside the door area, lucky for me it wasn't. if it is from the inner part, im going to just let SC do it, which sometimes i doubt they'll even solve it. thats olso the reason why i try to diy to solve it first before i complain to SC

Imagine SC tells u its normal, they cant hear anything, problem solved.. but the sound is still there..
