Honda Civic FC: Made in Japan, Loved in Malaysia

 

“Abang ada Honda? Tak ada? Hmph, lemah!” That’s the phrase you will hear every time you go to every lepak session at your favourite mamak spot. That’s how you know that owning a Honda, especially a Honda Civic FC is like holding a VIP pass to be the coolest kid in town. With its sleek design, a punch VTEC engine and a reputation for turning heads when the exhaust roars, it’s no wonder every lady wants a guy with one. Together let’s delve into the details of Civic FC.

 

A Style that Stands Out

Agressive front grille? Checked. Sporty sidelines? Checked. Premium appeal? Checked. Ready for mods? Also checked. From top to bottom, front to back, the Honda Civic FC possesses the design that is not only complete but everything a car enthusiast could dream of. One of the most defining features is its low and wide stance, giving it a sporty yet elegant silhouette even from afar. The most iconic feature of the FC is the C-shaped taillights that have become a signature of the car, giving the car the nickname “Civic Ketam” as the light resembles the pincers of a crab. Despite that, it does provide the impression both day and night. Ready to stand out? Absolutely–checked!

 

Packed with a Powerful Punch

If you ask any gearhead what makes a Honda truly iconic, you are bound to hear the same word over and over again; VTEC. Yup, the Honda Civic FC comes equipped with the legendary i-VTEC engine which stands for intelligent-Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control. It is a testament to Honda’s relentless pursuit of performance and efficiency. But what does this actually mean? Why are enthusiasts so excited about this car?

 

With the 1.5L turbocharged i-VTEC, you’ll get a high dose of power that can go up to 173 horsepower and 220 Nm torque, making overtaking on highways or tearing down the scape a breeze. The turbocharger adds that extra umph, giving the FC a quicker response and that satisfying surge of power whenever you need it. But in all, it’s not just about the raw power. Honda’s engineering ensures that the engine remains refined with a smooth delivery that feels responsive yet controlled. Whether you cruise the city at night or hit corners at Genting, the Honda Civic FC engine delivers a driving experience that feels exhilarating every time.

 

Stock to Shock: Mods that Make it Truly Yours

The fun doesn’t stop at stock, the sky's the limit. The true magic is when you unleash your creativity and dive into the mod scene, turning a factory-fresh Civic FC into a personalized expression of style, power and performance. Civic FC is the perfect canvas for the automotive dreams. 

 

First impressions always count, that’s why a makeover is always a go-to. Whether it’s a front lip, side skirts or a rear diffuser, body kits will enhance Civic more as it provides a more aggressive stance. Many Malaysian owners prefer the aftermarket body kits that give the car a more sporty look. Also to make a statement every time you drive around, giving your FC a deep, throaty roar is also important. A cat-back exhaust system, high-flow mufflers and headers can all help increase power while giving the music to your ears.
