Yes, test drove the rs version. Ps4 is well known for tyre roar. But then the noise coming from outside is obvious. I find it very obvious cause i come from Vw jetta. I will go for V spec since my wife and I dislike the seats in the rs.

I do find civic is quite enjoyable to drive. Steering feedback is good.

Ya lo. I found many steering rack issues on the web and facebook group. Very funny eh. New car also kena.
Understand your concern and thanks for your advice. Gonna train her to wear seat belt already.

I see you Volkswagen kaki, why no consider secondhand 2-3 years Passat 2.0 380 TSI? Coz from discussion I see you need tolerate so many compromise if going for Civic (NVH, seat etc)

My wife tak mao second hand car. Wanna reduce cost, wanna chill thru life. Old already, don’t feel like to throw too much money into cars. And i just discovered that honda service is cheap LOL! Feel the unbalance hahaha. Give honda a chance.

Mainly NVH from civic then rear seat bump from HRV. Others all good.

Honda service cheap is it using semi synthetic engine oil? I knew Toyota definitely uses semi synthetic oil as standard pricing, want use fully synthetic oil then need to top up over RM100-150 something... and my colleague told me before his CRV 1.5T he need to top up for requesting a thicker viscosity engine oil coz he no confident using thin oil on turbo engine, forgot to ask him is it semi or fully synthetic oil...

Honda for Civic 1.5T uses only Shell sourced FULLY SYNTHETIC oil. Always has been since FC. By now I'm going to guess Corolla also going to be the same.
*
Nope, for Toyota, the Corolla standard service uses semi synthetic 5W30, request for next level would be fully synthetic 5w40 very thick instead. I just serviced my Altis 11.5 2.0v few months back at SC.

Yea, civic interior is really winning all the way.
Toyota takde turbo haha.

Ohh really? Then i study again the service price list.

Cause HRV cheaper ma and being SUV to my wife liking. But the because of the sear bump, 99% going to remove hrv in the equation.

Just out from honda showroom, 99% civic liao la. Now to decide color. Meteoroid gray macam yes.

How much waiting time for Civic? During March they told me no stock for V variant, need to wait minimum 6 months so I changed my buying...

2022 v spec even for 130k also tough to sell off. Unless meet a desperate buyer.

I believe the sweet spot to sell off [if planning to] is 2-3 years time..

FE model lesser buyer?
If Civic FC Ketam very fast one, those 2020-2021 I survey during March, very fast got buyer booking and I lost chance I think 2 units, and price ranging RM123k - 129k

There is a reason why ketam brings back Civic from oblivion after 2 lackluster models

Eh, thought FD (successful model) > FB (not well received) > FC Ketam (successful model)

they call it the Civic 2-gen curse, every alternate gen is failure  laugh.gif

If like this, FE consider failure already, but still selling well although not as popular as Ketam model, miles better than FB I think..

I recall this model very less buyer, almost like non-existent in the road, with the rare 1.7 engine

See, I'm not the only rarely seeing Civic FE. Its a bit like a rare breed, thats why I tot if Honda is putting priority to other models like best selling HRV, etc. Travelled everyday from Klang to KL via Kesas and NKVE to KLCC area. Once in a blue moon only see one in Klang (weekend). Really hard to spot one on the road. When see one is like hitting lottery consolation prize..

Habislah with the introduction of the "affordable" Tesla, FE will be more rare like those Civic 1.7, future spare parts and price will be issue if get accident, unless changing car within 5 years...

Civic FE I test drove a used car with mileage 30k something last year, I don't know is the seat cushion too thin or already fully worn out, basically I feel like sitting on top of the metal frame without cushion! Test the older Civic Ketam it's better..

Maybe previous owner too fat or chubby, so fast wearing out the cushion..

I joined Civic FC Ketam FB group, strange very seldom they ask about steering rack, 1.8 CVT failure appeared more frequent tho
