- It is fun to drive! Be it in the city or on highways, the car is very responsive for a CVT. �Gear change� is very smooth and the paddle shift is very fun to play with when you switch to SPORT mode.
- Reasonably comfortable and can be aggressive when it needs to.
- To me, it is the best-looking Civic ever. It�s a �subtly aggressive� styling.
- Fuel consumption for a 1.5L turbo engine is acceptable. No complaints.
- Suspension is on the soft side but understandable because it is a family car anyways.
- Cabin space is excellent for a C-Segment sedan. Ample legroom and headroom.
- I have changed my faulty steering rack twice within two years. The first time, I waited a few months due to the unavailability of parts. The second time, I only waited two weeks. Earlier this year, Honda issued a product recall, and I sent the car back to replace the steering rack for the third time. I was told the part was an improved version with a different part number. Unfortunately, the problem is slowly returning. I�m getting ready for another replacement in a few months. So disappointed!
- My air-cond compressor �melted�! I was told by the technician because I did not switch off the air-cond when the engine was running at high revs. WTF?! It costs more than RM10K to fix, but luckily it was under warranty.
- Because of the above issues, I strongly advise you not to modify your car. You will have to foot the repair bill yourself, if the warranty is void. And that ca be hefty.
- The Lane Keep feature needs an upgraded algorithm. Many times, the car doesn�t stay in the center of the lane, which is dangerous.
- The front seats are super hard! Bad for your backside when travelling long distances. Advisable to put extra cushion.
- No wireless Android Auto, only wired.
To improve
- The steering rack problem is a known issue that exists across several models. Civic FC also had the same issue and yet Honda continues to allow FE to �inherit� this problem. How irresponsible and disgraceful.
- Honda Connect App needs major rework. I�ve uninstalled it just after using 3 months.
- Please avoid repeating the same mistakes in your facelift model.
- Will I recommend this car? Yes, but better sell it as soon as the warranty expires! You�re welcome.
Yes, I would recommend this car
