I went to get my car service 1k yesterday. The service was quick! 20mins+. What did they check, huh? I went to the toilet and then did some call, suddenly the SA came back 2 hand me my keys back saying they've done the service! Am I that lucky or what?

it is just vtec open... not turbo d... so u can control itm no worry, hehehe!

u will feel ur car more power n u feel easy to overtake cars when if u in highway especially when u with speed 110km/h and want to overtake cars

Guys..need help here. My wife keep poison me almost everyday since i booked NHC last month. She asked me y not buy grand livina...bigger, nicer, 1.6/1.8 somemore. Arrghhh....afraid i 'termakan" her poison and cancel NHC and buy GL instead

1K service is not exactly what you term as 'service'. It's just a routine inspection on the car, nothing is changed or serviced. It's just for HM to see if the car is in one piece and any problem that you might have experienced in your first 1000 km. Noise, abnormal vibration, leakages, loose items, etc... So...you're not lucky but it's expected. Sorry...

Well, here's the deal. GL is overweight, underpowered...slightly :
- produces 105bhp (1.6 A/T) and 126bhp (1.8). NHC is 120nhp (1.5)
- weight 1245kg (1.6 A/T) and 1280kg (1.8). NHC is 1160kg

Just this point alone, power-to-weight ratio (PWR) is low compared to NHC (at least on paper). GL 1.8 produces 0.0984hp/kg while NHC 1.5 produces 0.1034hp/kg. This should answer your question. PWR for NHC 1.5 is higher than GL 1.8!! At RM97,300 for 1.8...errr...don't think it's a better bet. Also comes with 15" rims 15x5.5J compared to 16" 16x6J on the NHC E-spec.

On a more practical side, it's more a 5 seater than the 7 seater they advertise it to be. All 7 seats up, and those poor souls who have to sit at the back will suffer. Trust me, been there in my friends 1.6 GL. Thank god it was a short journey.

But GL is a nice car. It's a matter of choice and what you need your car to do. If you have a big family and transport them around quite often, the GL might be useful. Fuel consumption wise....errr...I doubt it's any better than NHC. Fully loaded, it might makan minyak more than NHC.

I'd say stick to your NHC booking. Wife will appreciate it when the actual car comes.

Mine is around 1 hour because there're many cars.
Yes, I'm driving the 3rd generation of CR-V. Nope, I didn't meddle with the alarm. You've to ask the owners here. Hehe... Sorry to confuse you.

LOL
I just give an example for not throttling too hard and to get the best of 2 worlds. Hehe...

Haha, yeah... Proud to be HC3 member.

she not that super genius to know all the figures meaning. Have to tahan a bit longer her nagging. pray hard2 to get my NHC soonest possible. BTW she is the one who pay for the 20% dp....hahaha, but I'm the one who pay for the rest of 80%. So, the power of dream is mine

Just want to know, if you don't mind. Do you have kids? How old are you by the way?

Ha ha ha I like your attitude! Rock on dude! Indeed, the power of dream is yours.

That's cos your 1k service is not exactly a "service"... Its just a routine inspection by the SC to see if there's any problem with your car. But still 20 mins is pretty fast.!!!

To those of you who just got their NHC, do remember to get your SC to check and adjust your alignment and balancing. It's free for the first 3k kilometres I was told...

I did mine, and the car felt much much better to drive after that.!

Power of dreams is yours, but your avatar is that of Suzuki?? Hehe... jk jk..

Not old. Normally people who own Grand Livina is around 50+. Hehe... No offense ya!

Definitely!!...I tackle my wife using the bike

Wah, no wonder! Now that's cool! Haha... You better keep that motorcycle, don't sell it. Hehe, some great memories there.

I think it was alwin who re-did his alarm connection. You can check with him where to do it.

hehe... I see i see..!! Anyways, welcome aboard.!! was just kidding with the suzuki bit..

Stay strong and remain faithful, never waver in your choice of Honda.. hehe.. Hope to see you join HC3!

You know what...after talk to u guys, i think i know y my wife dont want me to have NHC oredi....maybe she afraid that i become young again....Hahaha!!!

You're not even old yet

Actually i think she might be jealous of you loving ur NHC more than her.. or SOME Chicks out there who wanna ride in your NHC mauahaha...

Is she afraid that you might turn unfaithful and become "1 leg stepping 2 boats"?
