Bro it's worth the wait instead of settling for the LE.

I ordered mine April, available by May, OR/CR released in June

Yup. Automatically set to 22 degrees, max fan blower.

Yours is at 22? Ours at 25.. Hmm.. Maybe they changed it for the updated versions.

Currently having my 6th month PMS, at 6,230km. Estimated at P3,300. Opted just for the mineral oil, and didn't avail of engine flush.

It's nice that you can see the car being serviced here in Honda Angeles.

2. Despite the 133 mm ground clearance (which is 20mm lower than most other compacts), I haven't scraped my bumper yet. The short overhangs probably help in improving the car's maximum approach angle.

Thought the ground clearance is 143 or 145 mm?

Maybe the aircon temp setting is adjustable? ... or maybe the aircon temp is dependent on outside temp ...

Where did you see 25? The head unit is off when the car is started via remote start.

22 degrees is what's written on the manual.

Brochure says 133 mm.

To open all windows: Press unlock once and hold the second press.
To close all windows: Get the key from the key fob. Insert the key and turn anti-clockwise once and hold the second turn until the windows closes.

Ref: YouTube. I'm surprised it worked for the Philippines version.

For those who don't know:

To turn on the car without the engine, press start button 2x. No need to step on the brakes. Very useful if you forgot to unfold the side mirrors (2017 models).

Jut, stock suspension ka pa? I guess with the lower ground clearance, we can get away with upsizing the rims without the need for using lowered suspension.

Drove my Civic hard earlier today with repeated flat-out acceleration and then braking and accelerating again during overtakes.

This is when the CVT feels really weird. Power is there but the engine droning at 6000 rpm is annoying.

When the car "downshifts" it doesn't start at 4500 rpm then climbs to 6500. It just stays at the 5500-6500 rpm range, hence the droning.

This will take some getting used to. Although generally I've adjusted my driving style where I don't need to drive like this just to get good pace. It's more efficient to maintain momentum than braking hard and accelerating rapidly.

Thats when you realize the advantages of having a paddle shifter

My jazz CVT sounds like that when i leave it in auto mode. But going "manual" with the paddle shifters totally changes the character and sound and driving feel.

Yeah. Speed-wise, what my transmission does is the fastest way to go as it's always at peak power. But feel-wise, having fake shifts through paddle shifters is more engaging.

I wonder if you can retrofit paddle shifters.....

Yes stock suspension bro. No need for a drop IMO - aesthetically it looks alright even with bigger wheels:

Ganda talaga ng Piano Black grill mo Sir Bagay na bagay. Nagbblend sya sa kulay ng sasakyan mo.

I was wondering if maganda kaya sya tignan sa Honda City 2017 Tafetta White. Mas prefer ko kasi yung kagaya nung sayo Sir na shiny parin, compared sa mga matte paint or plasti-dip.

My Altis was a manual. 😊 I sold it already though.

I find plastidipped grills cheap. I had my grill repainted talaga. Hindi pa yan yung talagang kintab niyan because i havent had it buffed after drying it.

Going back to my friend's paint shop next week to have it buffed and probably have the whole car waxed

Will the piano black finish be the same fingerprint magnet as the stock chrome parts? I'm thinking of having my car's chrome parts dechromed, but torn about going matte or glossy...
