Honda Malaysia has garnered 1,200 bookings since order books opened for the 2022 Honda Civic FE, proving that price increases have had little effect on demand for Honda's seminal sporty sedan. 

Breaking down that number, 20 percent of buyers have chosen to go for the Civic 1.5 E, 30 percent have booked the range-topping Civic 1.5 RS, whilst the 1.5 V gets the majority of bookings at 50 percent.

Arvind can't remember a time when he didn't wheel around a HotWheels car. This love evolved into an interest in Tamiya and RC cars and finally the real deal 1:1 scale stuff. Passion finally lead to formal training in Mechanical Engineering. Instead of the bigger picture, he obsesses with the final drive ratio and spring rates of cars and spends the weekends wondering why a Perodua Myvi is so fast.
