In fact you might feel that the engine will be smoother and more responsive after that. The will be some excess metal bits from the block during the run in period, that is why mineral oil is recommended for at least the first 10,000km.

I've seen a few hp difference between cars that was pushed hard and cars that was "cared" when it was still new.

But of course its not recommended to be pushing your engine hard to the redline during the entire life of your car, this will definitely reduce the lifespans of your engine internal parts and most common problem due to prolong engine whacking will be missing engine oil (makan minyak hitam)

Or commonly known as "normal" engine oil.
Also if you can find those hard disk grade magnet, it would be useful to attached it to the oil filter to help attract the shaved metal bits.

This is how it looks like

Stay calm dude, just send to SC for checkup. As long as its still within warranty period, you should have nothing to worry about..

Well true enough about the hassle of not having a temporary car for work.

Anyway just be positive thinking before sending the car to SC it might not be as bad as you would think.

After the fiasco with that Honda Accord owner two years ago, i guess Honda is much more careful now when dealing with their customers... lol

Second hand cars will always be evaluated based on market price so naturally if the tax incentive is removed the price will be higher but I got a feeling that the tax incentive will stay for a long long time.

Looking at the current situation, should be after the election... , then again this thing will take ages, draft, review then got certain parties will try to lobby against certain things in the new NAP...etc

I guess its only fair that the new incentive can be back-dated i.e. apply to present and future Hybrid owners.

For me is simply 1,2,3 & 5..

In terms of performance, CRZ is not even close to POLO TSI..

Look, the guy was choosing between CRZ & Golf TSI. So if i'm not gonna compare a hybrid performance with a TSI engine, then tell me what the hell should I be comparing it with??

I'm selling of a 260HP 2.0L turbocharged car to be driving a 122HP 1.5L, don't tell me that I don't know the different between this two cars.. ;P

No offence taken dude and my bad for making the wrong assumption..

That's what i was trying to tell him as well, don't expect much in terms of performance from CRZ if he is choosing between CRZ and Golf TSI.

Lol, and every other forums too..i suppose

Added on May 9, 2012, 5:35 pmYou are sure right about the driving enjoyment part.

Personally I'm not bother whether the CRZ can catch up to any bigger cc or turbocharged car in any ways. I chose this car coz I wanted something smaller for city driving without the risk of looking like a *****...lol

The car can still run just no more assist (extra power) from the electric motor.

The battery will be automatically recharged when the car is decelerating and under normal braking.

Yep, some of the owners already experienced this and one of them even captured it in video.

Myself also have heard this noise in one of the YouTube video showing a Japanese driving the CRZ in track, can't remember which video though.

I'm not sure if its a major issue, perhaps you can try to find the answer in international CRZ forum. Even if its not something major but it can be irritating and kinda spoil the driving feel.

Or it could be the goverment agency delaying the approval??

Well sometimes there could be external factors as well, for example lobbying by a certain competitor..

Green consious & fuel saving ppl buys Prius or Insight... ;P

This happened on certain CRZ, according to the American owners this due to the winshield moulding.

Your fren should record it down and make a complain to Honda
