As expected with Hafriz, didnt even realise I finished watching a 20 minute video Keep up the good work man!

Wow, RM180k to Malaysian govt, take loan to pay tax, crazy world we live in

Robbery of a government. Remind yourself not to vote for this bunch of cronies come next election. Taxation is theft!

[@miroslavvelenderic446]

And I thought its expenssive here in europe at 60000 € , but at 78000 € you are at an another level ..... have an older type R love them to death would like an FL5 but to give this kind of money for a civic is just pure crazy

[@cypatrickp]

I thoroughly enjoy the reviews presented by this guy! He shares his views and knowledge without coming off as braggy like most other petrol heads.

[@faradaycool4058]

Nice review. Gas guzzler, bumpy, loud, unrefined, tyre roar, raw and yet less brawny than the Germans. For those who want to relive the 90s and don't mind forking out RM400,000, I guess this is your thing.

[@petemorbius3936]

hahaha, tend to agree, but 2000 la, 90s too old:)

[@xiper86]

how does this compare to the WRX Sedan 6MT? That car has bigger engine, higher power, the signature AWD and yet more than 100k lower than this FL5.

[@aizulazharabdulrahim]

Nice review as always. Can review civic fl1 a much affordable version.

[@garrbunn]

10:50 , at first its disturbing seeing the key-card on the arm rest, but further through end video the key-card not moving or fall at all, type R engineered. 👍🏻

[@yalahmedia]

Hondas has excellent manual gearboxes generally and thus it's a shame that mainstream Hondas with manuals have been largely unavailable in the past 2 decades unlike Toyota and Nissan. There's no official Honda City manual but there is Toyota Vios manual and Nissan Latio/Almera manual.

Buy from Langkawi and keep it there until it is ready for West Malaysia, save almost 200k, not bad i think. FL5 front is really nice but the rear looks so droopy.

[@faizulanuar2474]

How long need to keep the car in Langkawi?

[@nickwong2525]

@faizulanuar2474 i think 2 years if I'm not mistaken. Someone i know bought C63s over there for around RM4xxk instead of here for RM7xxk and he kept it until it was ready for West Malaysia. If one doesn't mind the hassle, technically can still ship to West Malaysia and drive for a short period before the car has to go back to Langkawi.

Full tank (47L but practically just 43L) for normal civic rs 1.5L gets you 250km pushed hard, i'm sure fl5 will only give you 150-180 per full tank. Very very annoying, the fuel tank is too small. 45s didn't fare much better either at 250km/full tank (51L)

[@MithunOnTheNet]

I'm not Malaysian, so just curious. So if someone from KL buys a car in Langkawi, pays the tax-free price, what happens when they then head back to KL? Or is that not allowed?

[@shabrieyzs]

Restriction on time.. Need to return back to Langkawi

[@MithunOnTheNet]

@@shabrieyzs Ah, okay. So KL police can stop the vehicle and check when the car left Langkawi and how long its been away?

[@shabrieyzs]

@@MithunOnTheNet the car can use outside from Langkawi for 90 day or maximum 3 month within a years..and need to reserved some money/ bank guarantee about 70% from total Tax of that car for Msia Customs..when the time restrictions is over, owner need to returned that car to langkawi for the next 9 month..

If you have 400k budget, would you rather pick Civic FL5 type R at 400k or Recon Ford Mustang 2.3 at 200k++ or GR Corolla at 355k?
