Absence of "Source" button on left side of steering control means we cannot easily access media control using steering control (must reach out to the touch screen)?

Thanks for pointing out the latest OM. It then makes the steering wheel remote switching of audio modes the most difficult one for model with this Type A meter (need to first scroll through the long list of items under Home menu in order to reach the Audio menu) (even model with 7" display will be easier to scroll through the audio modes directly using the Source button) (easiest would be Type B meter model by just scrolling the left side selector wheel as the left side display is standby to show the audio info). If that is the case, may be easier to just reach out to the 9" touch screen to switch the audio mode for the Type A meter model.  

In any case, I am currently driving a car without even bluetooth handsfree. Not sure in practice is it really more convenient and do we really need to switch audio mode from steering wheel that often.

Hi does anyone know whether we can buy from Honda the trunk tray and sunshade separately? Based on the customer price list, it is under Utility Package of RM1241 which includes items that I dont need or already have like the trunck organizer & the car cover.

Hi mind sharing experience with Honda's Econtint package? Is it value for money? Workmanship ok? (no bubble after few years etc.)? Any better alternative? I view windows tint as long term investment & don't mind spending up to RM3500 for good quality tint with security film & good heat rejection & also TnGo/RFID friendly. or any of you have already gotten outside quote for tinting Civic FE?

unless u or someone know how to install properly otherwise in my view better take it from the package since it involve electronics & car interior..save any issue arise later including those rattling noise etc if not do it properly

May I know is there 17" Michelin PS 4 tyre that can fit V spec Civic FE?

Thanks! Since we can also use PS4 on V spec, i suppose V spec grip & handling will also be good by using PS4 (although will not be as good as RS spec). The article says sizes of the PS5 start from 205/40R17 to 275/45R20. V spec 17" rim is 215/50/R17, will it be covered for this new PS5 tyre? (50 already exceeds 45?)

1. Night LED drives are comparable to FC - mind you I have not driven on the highway at night yet, and so far, 99.9% of my drives are either during daytime, or on a well lit road. Am planning for a trip to KL Saturday 12/2 to install the Viofo 129 Pro Duo dashcam - and will start travelling around 6am. Will comment further during that time if nobody has made any in between the period.

Hi @isr25 Do you plan to hard wire the dash cam or just plug to USB/12V socket? Hope can see picture of the final product installed on your car.

@isr25 Mind sharing where did you do your coating & what package you took? Did you do it in Klang Valley?

So do you guys install security tint on side windows? 4 mil spec ok?

Hi I saw in website VLT for TCP4 is 35%. Is this VLT for side windows for back passenger & back window? FWS still 70% & front side window 50%? TSER at how many % minimum can be considered really reduce heat? Can have 4 mil security film with Diamond 6 type of TSER? Thanks.

The CVT rubber banding is vastly improve over FC and HRV. Its adaptation logics and learning has been rather pleasant!
It still won't be performing as hard as Proton persona clutch based CVT, however it's a huge and well trade off when it comes to the transmission overall smoothness and improved NVH.

heck, there's a subtle logic built in guy virtual stepped shifts if you're flooring it in S Position of the gear lever. Which I believe the next item will be working hand in hand to compensate any potential shortcoming from the CVT.

Only one mention comparing against my sports coupe - power. Turbo is turbo and paired with a much better revised CVT, power is effortless and comes way too easily. Totally don't have to work for it rowing through the gears while waiting to go through the RPMs of a NA car.

The CVT is also very willingly allowing you to red line the car compared to the previous HRV where getting past 5k RPM is very damn hard even on S position of the CVT. The FE Civic can already hit around 6 on just D.
S is much more smoother and more than willing to hold lower ratios or provide my good engine braking if I don't want to have the car dive in too much from the brakes and at the same time, as with most sporting drive, sitting at a lower gear means I'm more than ready to power out a corner punishing the crappy continental tires.

Looks like the CVT improved a lot in FE. Is it true that paddle shifter will not make much difference in FE due to improvement in the CVT?

May I know what is the acceptable difference in km by SC to allow us doing both maintenance A & B together? Is there a written policy by HM or in the user manual?

Sorry for the confusion I meant the latter - oil change & other parts together. Thanks for clarification. Not sure if stuck in KL traffic 2 way for half an hour at least per trip on average every day can maintain the 3k km difference...anyway this is one of the downside of turbo engine in my view (need visit SC often) but the plus points of FE should overweight it I believe

But will that effect affect your visibility when driving in the rain?

Hi wanted to check with FE E spec owners who do spirited driving. Do you find E spec lacking a lot for spirited driving as compared to V spec e.g. without paddle shifter/ drive mode selector, smaller size tyres/lesser grip etc? Can we achieve engine braking without paddle shifter?

Thanks for sharing your experience. On engine braking I used to use my paddle shifter down shift in my AT transmission car to reduce speed before entering corner as I find it it can be done in a more "controlled" manner as using brake sometime causing loss of "momentum" of the car & need to press gas pedal harder to pick up speed after exiting & sometime sharper corner feel not as safe to apply brake.
I guess based on what you said using brake pad itself (not even using S gear?) can do as good or even better in terns of entering & exiting corner in spirited driving & it is more of my driving skill issue.

Thanks a lot for the sharing! A lot to learn for me.

Hi forum members do you think Honda Malaysia will cut down some existing features of FE even before facelift due to prolong chip shortage & increasing demand? Has this kind of spec cutting happened before for Honda Malaysia & if yes did they announce it to the market?
