The last unit of the last batch of Honda Civic Type R was sold by Honda Global Amity Sdn Bhd to a 8GCC club member, so if you were in the market for one in the past month at least, you’d probably receive a “no stock” answer from Honda dealerships nationwide. But probably not any more, as reader Kent spotted this trailerload of facelifted Honda Civic Type R being transported. But don’t expect the Type R to maintain its current pricetag due to Ringgit-Yen differences from the last time it was brought in. It could go up to just over RM200k.

Looks like Honda Japan has no regrets bringing in the CTR to M'sia. They're selling them like hot cakes… we'll definitely get the TR version of the next gen Civic. But 200k for what's essentially is a souped up Civic…phew!! On our crappy roads, the back-breaking ride will shake everything to bits. Better for weekend track use only.
mystvearn yeah it needs RON97, Honda Malaysia already announced that this car is not suitable with RON95, only RON97 is suitable.
Civic Owner, that's dangerous.. You should check the piping for your brakes. Maybe they are leaking. Or did you top up your brake oil? If the problem still persist, change mechanic. try another workshop.
Good idea. Howabout a mass protest : Protess against duties on imported cars. At least put pressure on G to slash duties, if not abolish it.

i'll join u all
haha readers of the comment pls dont get misunderstood.. just kidding.. im more than happy that i could see my self doing a few contribution to the site :P
FD2R.. best bang for the buck.. I would have got that if i hadn't already had a FD2.. later on, when the FD2 becomes a stream or odyssey, then i'll sell my S2k to get the FD2R
I agree Honda car is good in terms of look. Other than that, a car buyer must also pay close attention to service and warranty policy. I had shock of my life when I was told Honda cars must be serviced every 3 months or else the 3 years warranty will be void no matter you are using mineral or synthetic oil. Meaning to say, you have got to send your car for service every 3 months even though your car has traveled a short distance since the previous service.
For those who already bought a new Honda car, make sure that you get all the 3 free services promised done within 6 months no matter what your car mileage is or else it will be void.
Recently, I sent my car for the 3rd free service and was denied the privilege. My car at that time was only 8 months old, mileage at 10 100. The problem is that, I was unaware of this policy when I got the car. The sales person did not highlight this policy when delivering the car. To make things worse, it is not mentioned clearly in the service booklet. I called up to the Customer Relationship Department (CRD) but to no avail. They strictly hold on to their policy. They are not helpful at all. No leniency practiced. Customer is not given priority.
As I also own a Toyota, I can say that Toyota is way much better in the area of customer service. Customers are treated with care and concern. For Toyota, customers do not have to follow the service schedule strictly as long as they send their cars for service after the recommended distance. (10 000 Km for full synthetic oil and 5000 Km for mineral oil)
In summary, Toyota cars are cheaper to maintain even though Honda may claim that their charges per car service is lower. My next car would definitely be a TOYOTA, for sure. I regretted buying a Honda indeed. Think twice before buying a Honda!
1st heheheheh
First!!!!!
I know where all these cars are going to which showroom!
haha :)
Second!!!!

Not bad but the price is too expensive

and how do u know this trailor belongs to honda msia and NOT not ap holders like naza and all dat…?
Guys,
My Civic 1.8iVTEC got brake disc problem.. at 120km/h, when i suddenly push the brake pedal, the car still moving…
any idea?? some mechanic said it is typical problem for Civic.. Brake disc problem…
Best JDM from Honda! Sorry, not enough money.. I just a small position school teacher.
This car needs RON 97 to run right? SO buyer beware where they fill up
RON97? If u can afford RM 200k, what is RM 2.05/L anyway? Dirt cheap. Ask those who drive VW Golf GTI and R32.
dumb question, anyone could tell me, which Honda dealer wash & polish is the best?
after 1 year plus, never polish my car…
A dazzling peformance car…wish to own one in near future..lolz..
mystvearn yeah it needs RON97, Honda Malaysia already announced that this car is not suitable with RON95, only RON97 is suitable.
