Actually you can stop worrying bout 2011 stocks, Honda are bringing in CBU cars such as Jazz Hybrid, Stream, CRZ, etc based on pre orders..

So those ready stock cars are usually pre ordered cars but the buyer somehow postponed the collection or cancelled the purchase.

Added on June 1, 2012, 10:49 amGot mine from Vessolar Llumar puchong, installed by the SA. So far happy with the heat rejection but like what jceh83 said, the back really needs a darker tint.

I'm also planning to lay another layer of tint for the back glass later.

welcome...

It's normal, got mine 3~4 weeks after i made my booking. It's nothing to 3~4 months waiting period when it was first launched last year..

- Fun to drive
- Love the low seating and interior layout
- Good handling even in pure stock form
- Very nice low end torque but bit asmatic from mid to high end RPM
- Back space is only good for baby seat or kids below 12
- Dont ever compare the FC with other Hybrids if you have heavy foot..
- 6MT in eco mode is painful...

I'd give 8/10 coz i love the external looks as well...lol, biased..

Yep, like ChzeHong said it's really unresponsive in eco mode but painful coz you really have to shift up to the last gear really fast in order to get to cruising speed at 70 to 80km/h otherwise the car will hold you up.

Usually i'll go by normal mode from standstill and switch to Eco when i'm already at cruising speed.. and all Eco when i'm stuck in traffic jam, rolling in a car park area or any other low speed conditions in the city.

I'd say the eco mode in Jazz Hybrid is far more pleasant coz its an auto transmission..

FC for normal + ECO mode at 95% of the time is not bad, I manage to get 15.6km/l that is 555km for 35 litres. Some owners have gotten more impressive milleage here.

Lately after the first 1000km, i've been redlining the car sometimes at Sport mode to condition the engine so currently i'm at 13.8 km/l with 435km with around 50km left before next fuel up..

Where did you book the car from? Usually it will take 3-4 weeks.

Okay, i forgot about the car color part...Milano red will be more than a month waiting period.

Anyway I got my Storm Silver 4 weeks after booking at Sri Peringgit and my sister got her black CRZ 3 weeks after booking at Kah Motor Puchong. Both booking was done in April.

Added on June 12, 2012, 2:36 pmI guess HM can't do much since this is CBU from Japan, could be shortage problem somewhere in their supply chain.

Can try to cure your longing by buying the mod parts for the car first...

LOL..thanks, its just a simple experience sharing..

I think you will fall in love even more after a test drive. You can get a test drive at this Honda showroom in Glenmarie, there is where i got my test drive and my decision was stone cast right after that...

Added on June 13, 2012, 9:43 amJust a hypothesis here, could it be that you are now used to the power of the car and now you tends to throttle it more?

Btw i'm also using Petronas Primax 95 here..

If you confirmed that the smell that comes into your car is from the outside, then the problem could lie in the seal or the flap that closes the fresh air intake. In that case you should really send the car back for inspection.

I have some funny smell from the aircon too but its not from the outside and this may got something to do with the filter..

If you want to change your aircon filter then can consider this

Will check with my friend if Blitz has this for CRZ as well...

Yep, it does...the other time i had my test drive on Sunday..

Take it easy bro, the car will always be here and not goin anywhere..

it's good that you have a plan and target for your future beginning from now but do remember to have a plan and target for after 30 & 40 as well...

Never say too early, it will arrived before you even realised it..lol,

Depending on the driver, it can range from 12km/l to even 20km/l...

The auto version is already here and i guess most of it has been already booked since early this year..

i got a feeling its gonna be much better than MT since shifting up or down will be at the most optimum level.

Btw CRZ CVT is 6 speed or 7 speed??

Someone spotted it at Port Klang...

Hackle SA also useless if HM haven't announce release, pricing, etc..

I'm not sure if they have for Honda City 2009 but here is the contact no. for you to check it out..

Kaitenaz Racing Sunway: (Naz) 012-287 3497

Mine was quoted at RM 825 by the SA for coverage of around RM 5.5k, according to her, the estimated windscreen price is around RM 5K. The additional coverage is for the tint.

I guess different dealers have different price estimation for the windscreen..

Btw, windscreen insurance are optional, you can opt not to have it or insured it at any value that you are comfortable with.

I did not have this problem yet but its the problem with the windshield upper rubber molding...pls report this to Honda service center, alot of owners are have this problem local and international..

Hopefully the more reports Honda receive about this problem from fellow CRZ owners they will come up with a solution for this or possibly a recall.

I noticed that using cruise control for speed above 80km/h will have higher FC, reason being the computer will always maintain the speed you have set and that uses constant throttle input unless there is a steep downhill.

Semua pun betul...

IMO, it will be nice if the grill are painted black too..
