How frequent the display car will change? Everyday Keep changing? If like that then every car before deliver will become display car? 

I also got pre-owned unit from the same branch 

Pre-owned not necessary has mileage, my unit has less than 30km mileage... 

Phillipine's top spec Civic RS. Ours will be the same without the Bose speaker and 10.2 inch digital driver display (hope this is not confirmed)

closer look at Philipine's Civic spec also show that they have 3 variant - RS, V and S

https://www.hondaphil.com/model/civic

something to note is Drive Mode is only applicable to RS with the 10.25" cluster

does this mean our RS won't get that also? Assuming it's confirmed we dont have the full cluster

Yesterday I went to test drive a CRV and enquired also about the civic.

The salesman must have thought I am rich enough to afford the CRV and so kept telling me the civic S lowest spec will likely not have Honda sense (above 130k) and V spec will be 140k+ as speculated by some previously. While civic RS will be 160k+

He also mentions that it’ll take another 3 months for Civic to be launched. In other words he is trying to imply I got no choice and time to wait for civic. Must buy a CRV NOW!

I think all these salesman wanna sell something real quick and as high as possible…while we as consumers perhaps still care about our wallets. At least I do. But for sure I’m not keen to find the same guy.

My own take from this doesn’t change, I have waited long enough for the 10th gen to phase out so that Honda sense can be passed downstream to S and E for lower, price, but if due to inflation or greed, they wanna keep the price higher I guess I may either just get the old model 2nd Hand, or my first choice is to buy a Corolla cross. All I’m saying is competition is stiff in this price range too.

I also went to test drive the 1.8V Corolla cross and I’m quite happy with it, except for the lack of power. I now have every belief that the hybrid at 137k will solve all my problems…so, I’m more keen towards that if the price of Civic is same. Even the 1.8V is already acceptable actually (I’m not a racer, I’m actually a very mild uncle).

Mind to explain more? I only want some torque and acceleration from low to mid speed, basically just for mild sprint in case need to come out of junctions…
You have tested already?

Anyway I already guessed that the civic will have sensing across variants, I already know what the salesman trying to do.

Can you guys educate me what is really the benefit of say a 10.2in display inside the dashboard vs a 4in display? Although I know you can see more things but a driver trully really needs just RPM, speed, gear right?

Does the display actually show the navigation turn by turn inside there?

What is inside the current TC-P?

I booked mine end of October - RS - Ignite Red. I wonder why the embargoed the interior of the Civic. It’s not like we haven’t seen it in other countries already. Or I hope that HM may surprise us with the 10.2” cluster for the RS!

Other video reviews that I could find

I guess red will be the most hot colour for this gen. It also goes well with the red stitching in the inside. I'm also liking the new Meteoroid Grey Metallic colour. The video first impression reviews really shows off the 2 new colours.
Just said I hope bcoz they embargoed the interior pics. It might be because of the red stitching which is similar to the Japan Civic Sport.

Dual zone air con is over rated for small cars like civic. Even big suv i tried, no use. Either both too hot or both too cold.

Speaking about the media preview drive at Sepang, Honda Msia prepared a FC Civic and Corolla 1.8G as a comparison, but for some reason left out the Mazda 3 sedan

Wonder why. Pricing?

So what’s the main difference between FE & FC civic variants?

Haha, my first car was a generation 1 CVCC...a hand me down from my parents...and then when I entered the workforce in 2006 it was my senior's FD that was the subject of everyone's envy...I told my friends I will buy it even second hand....
I suppose time has passed and opportunity didn't arise.

You get the picture that I am a fan. I will give it every single chance.

But alas, I fear that the Cross is the car I need, while the Civic is the car I want. And the Corolla is that ugly compromise of price, feature, spec, safety, space, reliability that I wish I don't have to take.

i sit in many vios up to 110km/h and also tested the corolla with just stock dunlop, didn't notice too much harshness at highway speeds. Maybe my existing cars are also noisy.

Overall I won't be surprised that the new Civic will be MORE expensive than the old one, but I will be very surprised if it decides to compete Mazda 3 instead of Toyota Corolla. Traditionally it has always been cheaper than the Corolla for same tier, and offered more kit at the same time. Nothing should limit it their ambitions or greed of course, just a matter of demand vs supply.

But yeah - The difference in space, is not a lot comparing vios to Corolla. The same can be true when comparing a City to Civic (There is a reason why those two B sedans sell so well).

strange.... i rmb I read someone saying here (or another thread) that corolla NVH better than his new Mazda 3. Either Mazda 3 NVH really sux or maybe its up to personal preference
this can only mean 2 things -

i) ur SA bullshitting you
ii) FE Civic price will be same as FC ketam (unlikely)

Yes I know new Mazda 3 improve a lot on NVH

But the poster claiming Corolla NVH better than his Mazda 3... so yeah. Maybe everyone have different perception

The test drive car i sat in had dunlops. I was also very disappointed when looking at it but to be honest it may not make that much difference to me until I really drive it to the limits. Or reach cruising speeds (nothing weird observed).

I think I’m a very low bar kind of ah pek in reality. I just need comfort and some power and plenty of safety with as much space as possible.

I see, well congrats to you and hope you get your new care soon.

I too loved the ketam, and I didn't miss out on it, I purposely skipped it because only the top TCP at 139k had ADAS. I wanted to get ADAS for 120k especially when I realised the FE will have across all models by the time I finished saving my pennies. Not to mention, one thing I don't like about honda sensing is you have to enable it manually everytime you start the car. At least that's what I was told by the dealer/sales.

Alas, it may not turn out to be true (we are all agreed the new Civic will be more expensive) and if thats the case I think I will take my pennies elsewhere.

In the CRV and FC civic, both times in the 20s salesman briefing before I drive, they say need to enable cruise control for all other things to work. I haven’t read the manual if there is one so i thought this is kinda self defeating….but honestly I not sure how it properly works.

I'm not sure how 4 speakers and 8 speakers are the bomb or value, because a simple tweeter with cost of RM3 can be called a speaker. I also have 6in drivers that alone cost RM2k-4k. Both are "1 speaker"

I work in relevant industry, I have 2 speaker systems that can kill your ears or make you melt with great music at 1m listening distance. So, for me, the number of speakers is really a specmanship thing that is irrelevant....
