QUOTE(elru @ Jan 14 2009, 05:25 PM) i would like to know about it too...hopefully get to hear reviews from the new owners. haha yea, will try it out once i got it. maybe i sneak into my parent's CRV when they armed it  I know this is a late reply, and I had a brief test drive - the car is tuned for comfort, and rides well. But I felt the engine note was a bit too loud when pressed down, its very vocal indeed! Plenty of cheap hard plastics, but decently put together. Noted that the sound quality from the sound system was very good. Although it had 120hp, it certaintly did not feel like it la, I guess tuned more for economy than acceleration. The 1.8 Civic is more refined and gives a better drive, although that's a different class all together. Lots of rear legroom tho! Cheers  |

QUOTE(zweimmk @ Jan 22 2009, 07:45 AM) They use very little foam if any, if you've seen how they take apart car panels at autofoam - Both Vios and City (old) have hollow car chassis with very little sound insulation padding, in fact it's more like close to zero. They use those cheap soft sponge foam thing that people use for packing goods to stuff the side sills and B pillars and it's a miserable small piece as well. The CRV, being more expensive probably has more padding but I'm fairly sure they use those sponge things as well to stuff up the pillars and sills, it's probably a little denser and of bigger size though. I could not agree more, I really dislike the plastics on the vios and city, and yes - there is actually NO insulation material in the door panels (which is why you get the hollow sound). BUT..there is a simple fix - I bought some insulation material (from forummer KHGuan) and removed my door panels and stuck it under the plastic panels... RESULT: - my waja's door has a heavier, solid feel and slightly less noise insulation. You guys shud give it a try, easy to do, and will only cost you abt rm100 for 2 doors. PM me if you want more info on this DIY  |
