Cant for sure for Q1 & 2,
but for Q3, it is definitely difficult, even for me at 30ish, especially parking at the road that is not flat

Q1,  u can get by most bumps. The clearance is good enough to go through jalan kampung like this steep longkang "bridge" with full 5 adults in th car.

Q3, so far backseat no complaints from family member elderly 65-75 range. But it does require effort to get in and out as compared to the Honda City.

1. ground clearance definitely not an issue for malls, speed bumps. Not sure with bodykits.

2. yes for v spec can add , but need to change the cover as well. to make it fit better

3. elderly in and out is a challenge, but depends, if they are used to sedans, den should be ok. if they are used to taller cars, they might struggle a bit.
my parents only sit my car once, age 6x, they just say its low, did not complain about hard to get in/out.

1. Not really an issue even with 4-5 ppl on board. Even the FC has no issue.

2. Yes you can, but you need to cut the stock exhaust at the tip because V exhaust tip downwards. Probably will void the exhaust warranty but I guess generally exhaust won't give you much issue.

3. Depends on how strong are their legs My parents did complain a little but still able to ingress and egress without any issue. I think the issue is more on long distance drive since they cannot really put their leg 90 degree but like 120 degree since the seat is low.

For number 2, I would said there are some differences that you are difficult to make it like RS:
1) The interior roof color is black for RS.
2) The Ultrasuede seat with red stitching & ambient light.
3) The 18 inches rims with Michelin PS4 tires, with profile tuned. 

The rest are quite minor and easily mod which just body kit/ wrap pnp.

RS variant is about 150k without Insurance i think. so if add up OTR will be 15x already.

i got the V spec instead as to me the RS is more towards cosmetic, but of coz if we calculate the items given, especially the 18 inch wheels and PS4, its quite worth.
If you're planning to have 18 inch wheels on your ride in the future, just go for the RS.

I chose the V because 18inch tires when tukar banyak mahal lo

1. For me, slightly low. I drive my wife, and 2 young kids - I regularly scrape speed bumps. Although ever so slightly. Will always get scolded by my wife.
1.1 One time, I drove 6 adults in the car into an underground car park, and scrapped the middle beam and removed some paint.....
2. No idea...
3. Please for the sake of your parents....I recommend a proper test drive with them, bring them to the show room if possible....I know some parents may not like it but maybe yours will appreciate the thought?

I have the same bias u have, cant really get used to driving at height, even older myvi also for me is considered high seating position lol.

For me civic vs hrv is like a brain and heart punya dilemma. Heart is civic, but brain say hrv is better as a overall family car? I am still single and i dont really need the riding height and space for now, and hrv v spec nvh kinda disappointing. Salesman say the hybrid might have better ride becos it is more balanced with the batt on the back, probably more rear heavy.

Should have compare price to price, but ehev is pretty fun to drive at. Still have time to think anyway.

By the way, is the brake hold switch can be always on even after off car?

Perhaps you can ask how did old knees get in and out of cars 20 years ago haha.
I suppose people tend to complain less back then.

Yes, Went last saturday, The SA also mentioned 2.0 hybrid, expecting RM8K lagi mahal

TBH if its the proper Thai Speced RS e:HEV, I think another 8k is damn cheap.

If they are not gonna put the full screen instrument cluster here, that's just a bad move by HM. With that alone, I think it's good enough to pull in some $$.

somebody at kopitiam posted the price rm168k    if sarawak become 170k   

My mindset when considering the eHEV, is the big mileage that came from it. The quick pickup was the third in my consideration list. Its fun to have a quicker pickup than the turbo but thats not all that Im looking for. Second was the full digital cluster.

If I want a sustain speed, might as well get the turbo.

Hunting for other cars. What other options do I have now?

meter navigation

Carplay - Apple Maps
Android Auto - Google Maps

i think depends on SC.. but to be safe, just dont do anything to the car..

Guys, can I ask your opinion? I booked my car since June 2022 and still haven’t receive my car yet. Is it have to wait that long? I believe the branch is prioritizing others compared to mine. Seek sifu advice here..

Booked V spec grey color from Puchong branch.

Hi all.

I have a dilemma for sure that some of you may experienced it before.

We intend to go for hybrid SUV most probably HRV, but because of underpowered engine wife said she now not so keen on it. Next obvious solution will be to get new hybrid CRV..but it is quit a big step up in term of price. almost 50k easily.

so she ask to check on Civic hybrid.

for context, she is driving Axia and I'm using Vios. So we are familiar with Sedan..she just dont want to feel underpowered as she is driving Axia, so one underpowered car enough dy she said. We are trading Vios to new Car. No kids just us for now.

So, any advice will be appreciated. I'm thinking maybe get Civic hybrid for 4-5 years before we may switch car again, either trade the Axia or Civic depending on the situation then.

Civic hybrid expected second hand value, any idea?
