My own Photos:
My favourite shot. The "Crab Claw" LED Rear tailights. One of the few cars that stand out at night. From far can tell it's New Civic FC.
Jefferson Lim's Brief drive time:
Test driven the Civic 1.5TC-P at Tiong Nam . SA purposely asked me to drive to Pin HUA School. Highest bump. I am impressed. No scrapping of under car. Great Ride and handling, just right dampers. Acceleration impressive. 100km/h at 1700rpm only. So should be fuel saving.
Turbo kick is there but linear. CVT Whine's very MILD. Due to 6:30pm Setia Alam traffic, I only managed 110km/h briefly.
Excellent front and back leg room and head room, comfy seats. Large boot space . I noticed the odd tyre size 215/50R17.
Poison indeed...
Make no mistake, the Civic is back on form with this tenth-generation, which is probably as revolutionary as the EG and FD were. After the lacklustre ninth-gen, Honda needed something special to regain the initiative, and the FC delivers.
END OF MY DRIVING EXPERIENCE.
My RATING:
1.8: 9/10
1.5TC: 9/10 (10/10 for Driving experience)
1.5TCP: 9/10

Now let's proceed to Our specs comparison vs Australian and Indonesian Civic X.
AUSTRALIAN SPEC:
As you can see, Our 1.8 is equivalent to Australian VTI-S. It's ALMOST TOPKEK! Only missing 60:40 split folding rear seats, front parking sensors and Lanewatch. Whereas the 1.5TC is equivalent to Australia's 1.5TC RS. Missing 5 items as you can see above.
In a Nutshell, we are denied most of the following:
Meanwhile, as for Indonesian Specs:
Their Advantage:
60:40 split folding rear seat, shark fin antenna, Illuminated Door visor mirror, rain-sensing wipers, chrome tail-pipes and rear spoiler.
Their disadvantages: A LOT... See photo montage below:
