Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Gutless ... try sitting at the side of MrsJ when she is driving her RS ... it seems 'frighteningly' fast And as said before she much preferred it to both the Mazda3 and the Ford Focus. Paid the extra, for the RS over the standard one, as wanted a full set of air bags.

The 10th gen SI has also been released now, 205hp from the same 1.5T. Not sure what the differences are though. Either way, a few basic mods pushes the 1.5T well over 200hp - fastest I've seen from Thailand so far, is 0-100 about 6.5 sec, and top speed 242 km/h. Not bad for a 4 pot.

April 17, 20178 yr I need to wait for black color Civic Hatchback 7 weeks. Is that normal ? I am located in Chiang Mai buying from local dealer. They said if I want white or silver I can have right now.

I had to wait 5 months for a lousy suzuki swift lol. I could deal with 7 weeks:)
April 18, 20178 yr Think you wait for Black because they don't sell Good in a Tropical Climate ,silver n white sell fast so they make more of them .Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect I would probably choose white, but only black looks good with orange modulo kit. Also interior temperature is not that different in black vs white color paint car.
April 18, 20178 yr Silver reflects ,Black absorbed Heat,but Honda Black doesn't .,just shows up paint serials,never again for me .So I sit here at Makro ,counted 45 and only 3 black .Yeh there nice if you clean all the time,but I'm a Car Wash n Go lazy type.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect

April 22, 20178 yr So I paid deposit for black hatchback 2 weeks ago. That time they told me I will need to wait about 7 weeks. They called me today to inform that from now I will need to wait 2-3 months (maybe). Be aware if you plan to buy.
April 23, 20178 yr 7 minutes ago, Ace of Pop said: What Model .?. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect As I said ... hatchback black.
April 23, 20178 yr As i asked .What Model .? They range from 850 K for the Basic up to 1.2Mill for the Turbo.They do bigger production runs on the most popular model n colours, hence the question.

The civic hatchback only comes with the 1.5 turbo. It is spec'd in equipment between the turbo sedan and RS turbo sedan.

The Hatchback does not come with an RS badge ...the badge on the rear is...IVTEC... but nothing to stop the owner having installed an RS badge...

May 10, 20178 yr One of the item in the promotion package is a film Lamina for all windows. They have only 2 options in my dealership : 30% and 60%. Which one should I choose ? Any recommendation ? I guess very dark 30% will look great on a black car, but how about visibility at night ?

More than likely they will offer POP. Ask for the money off instead ...you should get 3500-4000thb. Then read up on window film in this forum ...many are happy with Cardinal ...If you buy in BK you can get 20% off with a recommendation from a previous purchaser.

POP20RBBSRPS (photo attached) Check and see if you can put darker on the rear window and rear passenger doors, and lighter on the front. I have the pop on my civic. It was cheap, but I think 40% was too dark for the front when driving at night time. I think 20% max for the windscreen, if anything at all. I just checked mine. Mine is POP50N008 on front windscreen (but feel this is too dark at night time on unlit roads). My sides are POP20N028 to 030 on the sides. I think my whole tinting was only about 3000 baht. You may want to consider getting better quality and lighter tint somewhere else. I have dark solargard on my swift. It seems darker than my honda but vision at night is quite good.
May 14, 20178 yr If you want to see at night look for one of the higher quality films like 3M crystaline or Huper Optic. The are much lighter but retain good resistance to heat and UV. Thais seem more concerned about it just being dark.
June 6, 20178 yr Still waiting for my car. 9 weeks already. The worst part is that nobody in the dealership can actually tell me when I will receive it.
