sure, i just got a call from the sales guy say instant stock for Red E-SPec. I got a shock, and declined. Sticking with Silver or White.

white is superb, except I am a guy who dont wash car or take car of it. Pretty sure after 6 months love affair my wife will wash the car.

I will also likely ding and scratch the car mildly, I think in Penang its kinda hard to avoid that.

So white for the gaya, silver for the low maintenance...see who comes out of the factory first haha.
Red is too damn sexy for me. I don't wanna go back kampung this time and get an earful from my mom and dad who believe I should be driving a kancil till I die (they are)...

How does this work? I already paid booking with one guy wor…

I poorfag. Only can afford 125k.

the best one is the one you can spend the most of your money on. after that you won't regret aiyah why didnt I add more etc. You can safely say, no more liao end of story. even if you bought the RS, who's to say if you actually had money for a better car? And if you did wouldnt you be banging walls if the RS didnt meet all your needs and wants?

i am not offended, everyone has different view points and pocket depths! spend what you can and get what you want. if there is only 1 correct version then no one will buy mazda or toyota or myvi or mercedes or bmw.

thanks for reminding me that i've been kaypoh-ing here since Nov 21. I was ding dong-ing between this car, tcp 1.5 FC, altis 1.8G, and corolla cross.

Now, yes with the pricing no longer a mystery, i also agree that base spec civic wins if you only look at what you get physically. long term cost of ownership, reliability, and any potential inconvenience aside.

i'm still a little sour that Honda increased the price so much from my initial budget of 110-115k. In a way i wouldn't even mind if we have a FE with 1.8 NA, sensing at 115k. I would still gladly buy it. Although, at 125k, then if you compared to the old TC you are getting the sensing stuff which is not bad (at the price of some creature comforts being taken out).

All i am sure is that many people will die less and get injured less in FE than FC. its a great price to pay.

so base spec it is (for me)

My inner boy sank when seeing those MC5’s but after a while my retirement account was pretty happy haha.

All in all half the price of the R18 PS4’s

Nice, my first car!

Outside aftermarket, do you know how the installer will dig the panels or covers and embed the wires?

Will it be same as how the OEM version installs?

Do you tap fuse box or just the 12V cigarette lighter port?

I am a hard core diy er but my nagging wife can kill me sometimes with her what ifs on warranty etc

i see those foam injection things are very popular....have you considered?

yikes, tbh i driving a peugeot now, I have 1 item in the suspension rattling, but rain has never been an issue, in fact NVH is great in my tiny peugeot. Wonder how it will be with FE. I hope I'm not disappointed, not to mention ppl are like comparing this to BMW lol!!!!!

So according to this review, the power at the wheels (not counting weight gains) has actually reduced between 10th Gen and 11th Gen, and he suspects "anti pollution / emission controls" addition...I think.

I'm a banana, so I can only guess half and half.

It would make sense, not to forget the weight gains.

It is really a good and thorough comparisons that I think even the American channels lack.

I dont know, but i am not being notified anything about E availability even though I'm ok for either white and silver.

I'm pretty sure those with "existing stock" are loan KO.

You don’t have existing NCB?

oh yeah, i also just recall this is the procedure...i too have not bought a new car until today.

I'm sure you will get a lot of looks on the road!

Can you check if there is any simple nearby plug in for USB power for the Dash cam in front and rear?
Or do we have to really tap the fuse box or use the cigarette lighter port?

Proton X70 has a usb A power at the dashcam / rear view mirror box, so that you can install dashcam easily. I was wondering since Honda has front and back recommended cams, perhaps they also can access this port for easy install and sell to customer. If yes we can profit haha.
If no, then it will be another adventure to route cables, if you win that race take some pictures for us as a guide !

I am also looking at 70mai with front and rear.

Me too.

Thanks. So I saw some YouTube and it seems only 1 USB port needed for the front cam and then rear cam directly connects to front cam for power piggyback.

I feel more confident I can do this by myself now.
