2.53% for 95k, 7y loan for both Maybank & Affin. I heard AmBank & CIMB is offering lower rates

Yes from what i heard, RS spec delivery will be later than the turbo variants as Honda is focusing on the turbo variants since it accounts the bulk of the orders placed.

If my wife had signed just 1 week earlier, it would've been 95k, 7y, 2.26% from Affin. My Civic was 105k, 7y, 2.11% in January.

1 week is too long imho - might be that the bank branch is overwhelmed by loan request due to the number of car booking / loans. My experience might be different due to my relationship with the banker -

1. SA verbally told us the revised rate on 21/7 (Thursday) - wife verbally agreed and SA sent the loan form & all supporting documents to the banker on the same day
2. Bank called wife for verification / interview on 22/7 (Friday)
3. Bank gave LOU to dealer on 25/7 (Monday)
4. We signed the loan agreement on 25/7 (Monday) itself

Now just waiting for our deposit cheque to clear (should be today) and go to JPJ for number assignment tomorrow. Should get the car on Friday morning at the latest.

re-apply/renew after term lapsed. very likely rates will be higher because many saying August another interest rate increase coming.

any branch test drive available?already 2weeks launched..😅

My order is RS Spec Grey color. Today got confirmation of Chasis # assignment and car shipping out from factory. Should be able to get by Friday.

you are not alone i m sure many silent reader having the same thought

didnt saw that but i only saw people are being offered the car first if you are willing to pay SST by cancelling your current booking inside here

I copy / paste my post on Civic FE thread with minor changes:

Was disturbed to read about this last week, but couldn't get more information until today. Talked to my trusted SA regarding this, and we discussed extensively - my dealer / SA is not doing this, but allegedly some dealer / SA in KV is doing 70% w/o SST and 30% w/SST. SST cars need to wait for your booking queue, w/o SST you don't need to wait, can get immediately. Reason why they're doing this is that some SA may need to wait quite a while for their customers to get their car, thus no commission. Or new SA might need to wait until next year if need to wait until w/o SST cars to be cleared. Thus, they are doing this to ensure customers who booked their cars before SST deadline still get their cars according to their booking queue, and SA who can sell SST cars get their commission now, rather than wait their customer queue.

The w/o SST cars may be coming from booking canceled or buyers with unapproved loans. Also, this is done mainly by the Sales Advisor. Dealer will definitely get their cut, but SA might not have another buyer w/o SST in hand with the same model/variant/colour. Hence, when their customer fail to get loan/cancel booking, they will offer to others under w/SST. If another SA in the Dealership get the car, they lose their commission.

The above writing is purely speculation between myself and my SA, not sure whether this is the correct / only reason.

Ooops, sorry. I meant the w/SST cars are coming from those who cancel booking or unapproved loans. Dealer might have others in their queue that want the colour/variant/model, but the SA will lose the commission. Thus, the SA will offer to others who want the car earlier & don't mind to pay SST.

Too simplistic. Better illustrate like below:

A placed booking with SA1 before SST deadline (booking #1)
B placed booking with SA2 before SST deadline (booking #100)
C placed booking with SA1 before SST deadline (booking #101)
D placed booking with SA1 after SST deadline (booking #500)

Assumption: A,B,C,D booked same model, variant, colour. No other

Let's say car for A arrived, but A's loan was not approved. The Sales Manager gave SA1 a deadline of 1 week to to get A's loan to be approved or his client's allocation will go to SA2. SA1 can either offer to C or D. If they reject coz dun want car now, SA1 will advertise outside and SA1 will be desperate coz only have 1 week deadline to register before he lose his commission.

Hi Jimmy. Sell Jazz Hybrid buy HRV hybrid?

haha, i wonder how many cars does a dealer received in a month. i was told by my SA that my queue is 34. and he mentioned only aug will know when i will get car allocation.

i booked on 24 june. v spec red.

Taiwan version HRV support with Blind spot monitoring, with additional topup as their Honda official optional add-on.
Wonder why Malaysia does not provide this solution as well.

No wireless apple CarPlay is another issue to me, I don’t want to plug my phone all the while I using.

Yup, x50 might be the best for value of money but only for the highest spec right? If I not wrong still need around 100k,
personally I don’t want to pay 100k for a proton….

Thinking of Corolla cross too but on paper is c segment but interior size wise is smaller than hrv, the only thing hrv lose is the boot space due to more sporty tailgate design.

It depends on dealer to dealer i guess. I've started seeing many are receiving their cars already. Some even booked on 29th June and received their car on 29th July.

So i guess it all depends on luck (the dealer and the SA) how hard they push for the car allocation.
