anyone here tried sierraglow already?

I have trouble maintaining the cleaniness of my taffeta white... sigh...

what is the cost?

How is it compared to Shine N Shield?

Wow thanks for your info. Maybe I will find some time to visit both of the shops.

I accidently scratched my left bottom on a cement divider.
Some of the paint came off. Will it start to rust?

My 1.8 getting around 12 to 14 km/l
hmmm... I drive a lot on KL/Selangor highways...

My Civic V-Kool Elite is only RM2,000

I did ask before, a minor repaint may cost RM200.

That was from Kah Motor Body Repair shop.

Don't buy Honda Civic already.
My car just stolen in 20 minutes today.
This with the additional Locktact brake lock.

Kena steal la.

Sigh, very sad when looking at the CCTV. They straight can open my car boot (Civic doesn't have the remote boot opener, need to use key) then can open my car door within a 2 minutes.

The remaining time they were working on my brake lock.

I will try to upload my CCTV video if possible.

Sad la, today go Honda Customer Service the dude just said there is nothing we can do. Even if you want to replace your car we cannot give you discount, any assurance that your car will not be stolen again or such.

Donno what is the purpose of customer service

What can you learn? As Honda explicitly discourage you to modify any parts of your car even for additional safety feature, their own OEM security is highly questionable. They can break in two minutes. So what can we do?

We pay so much to Honda and we don't deserve a better support from them? Cars get stolen everyday because manufacturer doesn't give a **** to their customer. Charge you heavily and give you crappy security then tell you don't modify.

When professional thief comes, then he has a smile on his face because everything is the same from the factory.

I will try to upload my CCTV video soon but you can't see how they can open the boot or the door. It just opened.

Well I don't know whether you lost your car before but maybe you will speak differently when your new car is stolen.

Here is the video as promised.



No alarm was sounded throughout the entire process. The thief started from the boot and proceed to open the door. This is Honda Engineering.

Note: I have speed up of the last part because the thief is working hard inside the car and you cannot see him. It took him awhile probably because he needs to break my brake lock.

Should be working by now.

I didn't install steering lock. Just the brake lock. So now you understand why I complained on Honda's security system. A brake lock is more effective in keeping the thief busy than the OEM security.

During the period of time, some of my colleagues did pass by but they didn't notice it as well. Very sad.

Nevertheless, I will try to write a letter to Honda to complain. Not that I am expecting people to say sorry but I am utterly disappointed with Honda's system.

Yes, the two people who walked to the Accord are my managers. Already tarok them already for not noticing.

You can share! Please help me to spread the news!

No, the point that they break the OEM security within 2 minutes is too disappointing.
How come a third party lock can last for 15 minutes?

I already lost my 6 month old Honda Civic. I heard they are targeting white Civic.

No need to buy Honda la. People will never understand the true pain of losing a dream car until they experience it themselves.

Here is the repost of my CCTV video


Avoid Honda Civic if you can!

But if you insist, you can look for Miss Izatul, supervisor of Honda Customer Communication centre or the always not here, Miss Jahabarnisa, Head of Honda Customer Communication centre. They will tell you sorry and still wanna sell their car at full price.

You are their "water fish"

You don't compare a pen with a car. Honda not necessary has to offer a discount, but they could have assisted me more in my case rather than saying sorry all the time. It was started when I walk-in into Honda Malaysia office and demanded to speak to a supervisor. The Honda CCC (Customer Communication Centre) executive wasted my time and rejected my simple request to see his supervisor.

I am angry the fact that when I initially discussed about the possibility of a car theft with Honda. Honda refused to assist me in adding any additional locks and threaten to void my warranty. Then they assured me that their system is state-of-the-art and the stolen rate is low. So now when my car get stolen, Honda said otherwise.

Anyway, there is a long story and a series of events make me angry with them. I prefer not to repeat all over again.

About the legitimate business, who knows if there is one or two syndicates have inside job. Granted, it is not Honda's doing but if it compromises a customer's interest, it is their fault.

I have no proof for that so I shall rest it there.

Civic itself is a nice car and Honda Malaysia claimed to be Customer Satisfaction No 1 but the fact they are no better than Proton (in terms of customer support). If you still have your Honda, good for you. But once your dream car is taken away from you, you may start to understand.

Added on November 20, 2010, 4:30 pmCivic is a high rate, unless you have access to our police statistics.

When my car is stolen, I reported to the criminal division of Puchong branch. I spoke to the Sergeant handling my case.

Me : Kereta saya kena curi
Police : Kereta apa tu?
Me : Honda Civic
Police : Oh memanglah. Sekarang Honda paling top di kes kecurian.
Me : Macam mana saya boleh kurangkan risiko kecurian kereta saya?
Police : Jangan beli Honda (lol!)

The same thing the investigator for my case (you will be investigated before insurance company will pay you). He mentioned about high rates of stolen Honda Civic. To be fair, Toyota also suffered the same fate.

Anyway, if your car is still with you. Good lor. If your car is stolen, baru awak faham.

Of course. But it depends on how you lost your car lol.
Anyway, I have to admit Honda has a good insurance policy with Tokio Marine. They will pay 100% of the car price if your car is still within first year.
