Confirm will get my car this Friday evening after waiting for half year... Booking made on 5th Dec 2010...  I think I'm the longest wait owner here...

Mission accomplished. 

i'm sending my car to the SC in puchong tomorrow for 5k service as well...

Just received call from my SA, the reason of the tax cert not approve is due to the IMA battery with this new batch which installed with Civic hybrid battery. There are 8 insights in their store facing this issue due to shortage of insight battery. He said I will receive a letter Honda Malaysia these few days on the delaying. Either wait for insight battery or new batch with the right battery.  Really bad luck for me...

Few type of jerk/hesitation happen when:

1. The car starts accelerate using fuel only, then the motor kicks in to assist. Very mild one.
2. The car starting to coast on battery only at speed around 30-50kmh, very light on pedal. Fuel cut and i-vtec close all valve. More noticeable than no 1.
3. The fuel/engine kicks in when battery half empty or we step on the gas to go faster. Slight hesitation can be felt, comparable to no 2.
4. Air conditioning compressor kick on and off. Jerk or lurch. Very mild one.
5. Blip the throttle, the moment we are going for overtaking maneuver but suddenly back off due to whatever reason (oncoming car etc). The electric motor only started to assist when suddenly we back off.
6. Shift to 'S'. Sudden lurch forward especially if we're very early on gas.
7. Anytime at speed 60kmh and below, the engine going from 'fuel only' mode to 'recharging' mode. Very mild.
8. Sudden lurch while braking, happen when the car almost stop (speed below 15kmh or so). The car suddenly 'free'. Felt like pressing clutch on a manual car. More obvious if the engine immediately went into idle-stop.
9. The most noticeable jerk on this car was when the engine going from battery only mode to fuel mode, fuel kicks in simultaneously with aircond compressor. Happened to me once or twice.

Call it '9 type of shift' or even better '9 speed CVT'. For me they were not that bad, fully acceptable. I agree on suggestion swap car to verify the severity just in case some of us got lemon.
A DSG gearbox jerks even worst. Go try Ford Fiesta. U'll know what i mean.   

May I know where is your dealer? already done JPJ inspection?

nop i am not in msia right now

Hi Guys,

I finally decided to join you all. Was waiting for CRZ but gave up. don't even know when is it coming

Any good SA to introduce? Gonna book mine this week end

Thanks in advance.

I went to few Honda Showrooms last friday and saturday. Surprisingly, there are 2 SA (Sumber and Angkasa) said not really long Q for insight if you don't mind taking any colour and can deliver within 1 month.

No discount. Only can give umbrella and ecotint/pro-something (forgot the tint name) voucher

Now waiting for the both SA to call back and will drop-by to pay the booking fee. Hope can close the deal soon. I don't really mind any colour but blue
