this car can keep on my butt from 100 - 190km/h and i'm using forte 2.0

so i can sure that...this car is on par with any normal sedan 2.0 na car..

For those who really into performance, just slap in a Rotrex SC...

And I wonder, I haven't do a single CRZ coil mats yet ...

Until it runs out of battery juice... I had good fun on my CRZ till the battery went flat... 

Got it free from SA 

Until it runs out of battery juice... I had good fun on my CRZ till the battery went flat... 

er..seriously?...i thought on hi speed run it will use purely power from the engine?

how bad is it after battery went flat? 50% degradation of power?

Car launched less then 1 year and the battery went flat? Tall tale if you ask me

Not sure if the manual one is worth it, the Auto model is 7 speed with paddle shift AND touchscreen HU + GPS.

so how long it take to flat out the battery ?

bro, how sure the auto will come with this? checked with my SA this morning, seems like he said all same with manual.

test drive manual this morning...

my takes (i dont have high expectation  )
1. fun to drive...especially for me after so long didn't drive manual car
2. minimal body roll
3. exceptable noise. noticed the car came with RE050 bridgestone tire.
4. sports mode really great...normal and econ passable for me

interior -> too less features when compare to car like 308thp (almost same price)

overall....happy    make me feel like wanna order manual instead of auto...but if auto really come with better HU or perhaps start stop button or other extra features, will stick with auto...any clues? 

Not as much as 50%, but you can immediately feel the loss of power, it losses the urge & acceleration. It will remind you that the petrol engine is a 1.5L puny...
Need to clarify, it is the IMA battery pack, not the 12V battery.
Doesn't take long, especially if you are on Sport mode, as it does not have much chance to recharge, while the electric motor is giving 100% of its power. A few long high-speed run will flatten the IMA battery, and ends your fun for a while...

I've test drive the CRZ at Global Amity Honda today, yeah.... Some of the issues are:

1. The tire roar is damn loud, maybe it's the shitty Seri Kembangan road or it's ADVAN tires. Changing tires and some soundproofing should be all right.

2. This car seriously need a reverse camera due to it's blind spots. I hope they will be bringing in CRZ with GPS+Reverse Cam Monitor. Or changing into 2din HU is recommended.

3. The ECO mode is really useless..... no power, power delivery lagggggggg!!!!

4. The auto stop-start is really annoying and need to get used to it.... ><!

5. The ride is a bit harsh and some body-roll while taking some corners, the female SA is a bit terrified by the way I pump the accelerator mid-corner... LOLOL

6. Dun really care about the extent of FC, those looking for 18km/litre... U gotta be kidding urself, I'm expecting the region of 10-13km/litre with SPORTS mode all the way!!!

advan? hmm i thought they come with yokohama. yes, it has a terrible blind spot due to the small rearscreen, so im planning to fix a 2din HU with camera for mine next time. apparently, most of the drivers only use sports mode and eco is for cruising. not sure bout bodyroll though, did a sharp corner when i test drove and it felt really good, tight on the road.

go to crz owner fb page and look for wesley, or search for kitman in crzforum.

Correct, this is my 2nd car.. Migrade from Gen2, i just want to hv better performance and lower fuel consumption.. it's a great jump for me when you can use RM70 for 4xxKM comparing my ex-car RM70 for only 28xKM .. Performance wise, no need to say lo. Hehe..

Ive tested this crz wit my neo gen2 base campro...thanks to its close ratio gb...outrun neo from standstill...performance is good enough...

so how long it take to flat out the battery ?

Kangyoon - 150km/h with the FC of 16.8km/l is impressive, ur engine ald run-in??

Anyone can clarify the whether the AUTO CRZ comes with 2Din HU or only changes in Transmission only????

sorry to disappoint you mate, but my SA told me no extra features but only extra money  . CVT would cost around 5-6k more. just go to your showroom and give them RM1k. wait for your car and enjoice.

Yup I took the car on xmas eve
Then very carefully run in for 1st 5000km
Nvr rev above 4k rpm

After 2nd service, throw in K&N filter, its more power and better fc as well

looks like you are an owner. just curious, how's the FC so far? from what i gather people have been getting rm0.11-0.13/km. for me i think even the sportsmode is  more efficient then alot of the cars out there 

change it to KN will void warranty?
