      The US quick face lift after a year was a good looker on the inside and outside so…when is that coming over here? Our current Civic looks so cheap comparing to theirs!

    And now, all we need is a K24 from the US Civic Si. Or any high revving K20 engine.

    Btw, is that Mugen GP rims among the options?

    For this new gen civic, its not d matter of exterior design, its all about d cheap interior as compare to other C-segment cars which r more solid and better quality. I dislike Altis all these while but i rather choose Altis rather than civic becoz honda cut cost till d cheap sket interior no better than proton

    • Which Civic u refer?? Asian Civic fb? USA Civic? Or Europe Civic…. and u go check and see it Asian Civic and Usa pre-facelift Civic totally different ~USA Civic doesn’t have HID lamp, push start button, 17 sport rim, black interior, paddle shifter, front and rear bumper design not same, rear lamp different, USA. With plastic interior include door panel ~but Asia Civic not!!mostly with leather, oh kia forte, kia cerato. Proton saga, proton preVe with leather on their centre console? Sorry worse than Civic in fact. Don’t keep brain washing ppl

  • I’ll wait for Honda news in 2015, they’re going back F1(only as an engine supplier thou), there’s a new NSX, new Euro Civic Type-R , new compact (smaller than the CRV) crossover and I think the piece of news that I’am glad to hear is Honda putting their DI earth dream engine in the Civic. But for now, nothing seems to be right with Honda. The weirdest thing about the car above Is the lack of foglight inside that oh-so-obvious place.

    This car may look ugly, with cheap interior, and even lower power than its predecessor. Yet it carries the best safety ratings based on NTHSA tests, even better than the C200. I didn’t say that, NTHSA did.

    Need to change the chip first then onli can tapau this civic? Hmmm that means cannot la. Becoz it’s considered modi already. Im sure honda also got their performance chip. What if they do the same? Still can tapau? No?
    Actually not many ppls want to mody chip maybe that’s where the problem starts. Failure this & that, problem here & there. Haiya too much hassle, no time for all this.
    Owning a car to make life more easier my friend, not the other way around.

    I tried my civic fb 1.8 top speed. It was 210kmph highway.. I still can feel the car got potential to go higher speed. I don’t think preve can do that fast la.. For pick up yes, maybe preve is faster becoz It has got turbo but civic is just na. Civic good in top speed but lack of pick up !!!

  • sure r preve can tapau this fb? try to go full throttle with it, if preve really can do, it must be a really good car and i will gladly switch my fb to it.. but at 100km/h it even can beat a kawasaki z800 in term of torque & acceleration, i have to wait at least about 2 – 3 secs before the biker overtook me (i have to be real anyway) & that’ not even in the sports mode.. but i do the agree that civic is an ah beng’s car due to all the various aftermarket mods & bodykits, but not the ah beng who ‘cakap kosong’ one, it really comes with power, anyone who’s really considering to buy this car, just go for it, u will grow to love it more than u think, cause i also do really hate it at first
