i guess you're right but buying the car isnt an issue for me,just the maintenance part
well,this car is pretty much sold out for now anyway,ill probably try to find some hybrid gurus around and see what they have to say~
heck,i might as well get an insight if space is too much of an issue x)

@Axel, just buy it now and ready 10k for the battery.. it is roughly there.

As I know, even if the battery kong for insight, the car can still run without any problem. The only impact is the IMA won't be functioning, that's all

So I guess its time for me to go and borrow CRZ original carpet from dealer

No need borrow la. Use from "your" crz la bro

If really I do have one ... My finance minister not approve my request to change to CRZ

anyone know CRZ available for test drive? which outlet?

Should be none at this moment. Should be around 3rd week only the 1st batch will be in the showroom....

Ya... Around 3rd week or end of the month... First batch sold out, need to wait January...

U fail to understand it's not the price of the car concern, since u to fail to understand that in other market the CRZ is priced similarly to the Insight, except in Msia where we have to pay a RM15k premium.... you are not that well informed as you claimed.

And what has Perodua/proton have to do with anything?

I have already mention its not the price of the car, if Insight is 130k and CRZ is being launched at 130k, I'll go book one, without needing to look at the car. But that is not the case now is it?

If u have to know I'm driving a 350Z now.

i'm not sure where shud we make the reference

but from honda.co.jp, the price difference btw insight and cr-z is about 568000yen / RM22k

First of all... this car is not a coupe. It has no boot. It's a hatchback.

At 124ps, it is more a 1.7 liter engine and not near the usual 140HP produced by typical 1.8.

With a kerb weight of 1160kg, a 15 year old putra based on a 20 year old Mitsu design will run circles around it. Hatchback it is... hot hatch it is not.

It's value comes from the hybrid tax incentives, which gives it an advantage over any imported cars in terms of pricing except for it's bigger brother the Insight. So it is more of a hot price hatchback instead of a hot hatch.

And finally having a non-performing hybrid engine in a hot looking hatch is like dating hot lesbian who thinks you are gay. It ain't fun.

@sleepwalker,

so in your opinion, crz vs 308 thp, which is better for driving?

for car enthusiast i mean. since they are very much similar in price.

if u take everything else out of the equation like ckd vs cbu price, maintenence cost, service centres,resale value, looks, cool factor, etc and focus just on the drivability, sure the 1.6 beemer prince engine with turbo better la....bigger space more comfy sumore

so, you still cant make up your mind on waiting the elantra?

True, this CRZ can't really go that fast. I wonder why there are people calling this a hot-hatch.

Renault Megane r250 cup... Now that's a hot-hatch!

dun remind me d bro T_T

its a tough wait...

get 308 vti lo, fits your budget. conti car somemore.

This is 2 seater rite not 4 ?

the rear seat is only for baby chair or, ppl without feet.
