So I went to a showroom today, damn the SA is super excited about it and keep telling me that the new one is far better than the ketam since he already drove it (ya, without lotax n insurance LOL).
I've tested everything. From seat to sturdiness to everything lah. Here's my findings on the Civic (RS model) in no particular order:
1) Back tyre housing/damper is cloth type. O.O It will get dirty easily right?
2) TBH, when medias keep blow water say "you must come and see for yourself and only you'll know the beauty of it.". NGL, it's real. Seeing it IRL, it's really just, wow! If I were to compare to the direct competitor of M brand, the frontal is almost similar.
3) 2 radiator fans to cool down the 180hp 240Nm engine.
4) Real 2 rear diffusers
5) Head unit (infotaintment) is smooth and huge. UI and UX is pretty intuative. As for Wireless CarPlay (sorry, I no Android device), I found that it's laggy. I was playing song + open waze and my song was struggling abit to play. Waze was also. But all is fine after 1-2s. I'm not sure if it's initial boot or it's my old 8+ device lah.
6) Rear trunk is hydraulic. No helping you to close ya. But the closing of the boot is really, nice.
7) Front hood is HEAVY AF = quality?
8) To change wiper, they follow similar to brand M's same level competitor way. How to trigger it idk but the wiper is half under/below the hood.
9) Speakers, ok lah. Can't really test because too much plastic all over the speaker. Mass general public won't care about the quality la. I bet if HM slapped Bose emblem on it also ppl will believe it's real Bose lol. (I'm not audiophile)
10) I'm > 165cm, < 170cm, front seat put to the optimal driving position, back seat has HUMUNGOUS OF SPACE.
11) Rear AC vents are placed just nice. IDK if it's just me but the location of it looks good.
12) Alot of soft touch area that used to be hard plastic. Well done HM. But lmao, the rear seat's seatbelt there, that's plastic. Imagine sit and kena pushed to the side and then suddenly, hard plastic lol.
13) Usual contact area of the door is soft touch but others is hard plastic.

Ok, I can't rmb liao. That's my 13 cents on FE.  biggrin.gif
Booked RS but still deciding.  flex.gif

FC rear tyre already use fabric. Apple CarPlay is fully processed by your phone, not the head unit. A newer phone should have a smoother experience. Just FYI smile.gif enjoy your future ride.

Ah missed out on that. Yeah, it feels like driving a City with that smol 7" digital cluster.
FC: oh really? Didn't know. Good to know.
CarPlay: yeah I know it's fully processed on my device but it's connected to the headunit via Bluetooth. I'm using Apple Watch so maybe that affects? Bandwidth not enough I guess? Because when I use CarPlay wire on my own car, it's fine. No issue.

Maybe. I also have Apple Watch and it works fine on my FC. But I am also on the latest iPhone so 🤷‍♂️
