Hi all, will be collecting the new Civic RS by this weekend from Honda dealer, other than checking the car physical state (i.e. visible damages/imperfections) and checking the things in the car work with the engine started, what else do i need to look out for?

thanks for the input/advice/comment. cheers

kek i like this one

Lol unfortunately low spec one yep will check as thorough as I can! Thanks

Unfortunately I didn’t get any freebies haha . Will consider the selfie. Probably drag some random fella into the pic too

oo good one, will do

haha, alright will take some interior and exterior

silver, i booked it at the end of May, they told me at that time it would be 4 to 6 months, so now ultimately it would be 2.5 months. it may be because i know this SA who apparently have very good connections or something. he managed to assign me a car earlier.

haha do they usually come with first aid kit? actually i didn't bother to ask this SA for any freebies. lol

lol sorry, i paid in cash

yea they are all turbo variant - E, V and RS, just the hybrid version is not but on a bigger engine - but the SA told me hybrid version overall have more power, i didn't go in the details with him. am actually a noob in all this specs. i just needed a new car since my last car started to have issues and i sold it off.

Haha no need to be sorry. But I’m sure can ask around easily on forums. At the end of day I believe shouldn’t be too different across banks since it depends mostly on your credit rating/score

at carsome. i should have check with mytukar or at least one more dealer but was in a bit busy so didn't go to another one to get quote

it's great, the car feels light for a sedan that size. i thought it would feel heavier... i haven't really tried going fast on it yet, just normal city cruising but i'm happy with the performance

anyways will post some pics when i figure out how to upload the pics haha

what's nvh

haha what can i say don't know the term exactly

thanks for the input on the a/c leak. cheers!

definitely feels fun to drive, there's 3 different mode you can toggle with, sports, normal and econ. the pick up was good in sports mode, can feel the vroom - of course can't compare to other more powerful engines but it was fun nonetheless, normal mode i guess it's the usual average, the econ was quite weak haha, can't floor the damn thing - i guess that's why it's called econ.
the handling is very smooth, grip felt great too. In terms of nvh, haven't gone fast enough yet to really feel it, but so far i'm satisfied since i came from driving an Insight to this - better than Honda City that i've ridden in

i'm not a crazy car guy so not sure what else to say, overall just enjoying the new ride, will take it for a drive down to SG soon so that will hopefully be a good experience.

some pictures to share
