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
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.
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. 👍🏻
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 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.
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?
@@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..
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)
200k to the government. nice. thats why I rather buy house than donating my money to the government. Same thing goes to singapore, crazy government policies......
at RM400k, really just too much for what it is. the japanese are getting really good at creating miserable interior for their expensive sports cars. i thought the GR Corolla was bad at the back, but this is even worse
@@eugp4198 no doubt gtr is fast. but dont compared it on the same segment of car. in sepang time attack, fk8 was faster than m4. fwd doesnt mean it slow. even some f1 driver prefer understeer on the corner, understeer car doesnt mean it slow on the track
Car is never worth buying when you're a Malaysian lol these things sell for cheap outside Malaysia. But we peasants have to feed the government as usual $$$
Tax the rich and cash handout to B40, not good meh.. 🤭 If you are not rich and force yourself to buy you are just sohai... TypeR is an instrument for government to get more tax from the rich, poor ppl stay away.. 😝
@@furikuri23 all thanks to mahathir wanting to protect proton in the 90s and imported cars starting to get 'exclusive' tax in the 2000s. Imagine myvi 60k while mustang is 48k in the US. It's a total joke.
@@johndoe_r Purpose of protecting local products/goods is to improve country economy but unfortunately for our government, greed took over.. hence you put 200% tax on imported cars (which went into government officials pocket) but you still charge local brand (PROTON and PERODUA) at imported car price? Nevermind. In the end, our economy is still down because they ate all our money. No point.

As expected with Hafriz, didnt even realise I finished watching a 20 minute video
Keep up the good work man!
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.
Wow, RM180k to Malaysian govt, take loan to pay tax, crazy world we live in
hahaha fr never have think it that way
Wait, I thought it's 180k? Where is the other 60k go?
Without Tax Rm220k and with a tax Rm 400k..Rm 180k goes to govt😮😮😮😮
Fuck Proton and fuck Mahathir for causing all this
Robbery of a government. Remind yourself not to vote for this bunch of cronies come next election. Taxation is theft!

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.
it's looks definitely stunner than fk8 hopefully the parallel imports will get this unit with the cheaper price (but for now not yet)

Just like cruise control

u look very "jumpy", are the springs that bad?
Definitely very stiff.
@@bengh1201 damn hahaahha
you obviously haven't experienced a stock FD2R. that is even much worse, so this being from the same lineage, am not surprised at all 😝
@@napeenasir im poor boy with myvi;) but i heard FK8 much much better vs FD2R?
This is always ever going to be a niche product amongst the JDM fanboys. Am glad it exists for sure, but the appeal is surely limited.
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?
Id go for an m340i for that kind of money
I tot you gonna say to buy a house... 🤣

I rather get a supra not this junk.

You do realize this car isn't marked up as much in other countries. Blame your own country for protectionism.
This call milking strategy. Always milking those die hard fan to earn huge profit
i hate that i clouldnt afford this model….yet
a million ringgit in singapore
Is it really about 91000$ in Malasia?😮😮😮
Civic R is about 50000$ in USA 🎉
As a toy car (for the rich) ..very apt
Stupid price……I would go for a recon M4
is this a RWD or AWD?
Awd with dct
Wrong Wheel Drive
QUATTRO
FWD Four Wheel Drive
