Well, kinda misleading, not every malaysian, most malaysian prefer Toyota first     

i would say yes. but, just.

the premium over the basic spec 1.8L is nearly 5k. and with all the gadgetry i.e leather seats (outside install maybe 2k average), push start button keyless entry keyless start ( another 2k? if install outside ), etc, however the best bit the hybrid is CBU which means quality should be top notch.
a new powerful engine is another new stuff but i dont quite agree with the price tag actually.

people keep asking about test driving the hybrid, but so far i dont see any branch offering it

I think RSV for Hybrid (abide attractive price) will not be as good as the normal 1.8, 5 years down the road. With Melaka fully operational to produce Hybrid by next year, Hybrid price is expected to come down. Btw, Civic Hybrid has not been included in their plans yet. Meaning to say, battery for Civic Hybrid (which cost RM11k ++) may still be exp 5 years from now. Would that be a risk and will that affect RSV for Hybrid?

Any chance of test driving the C. Hybrid before you place order? I am having hard time asking for test drive. Apparently, no test drive car for Hybrid models.

Teana is a good car and much more bigger space.
But still it is your money when you are op for environmental friendly car.. 

bro, i dare not ask these questions to the honda lovers here. Too advanced la bro..enough la..let them be..

The FD2 civic doesn't even have onboard trip computer but nobody made any noise..y ppl like to be sucked dry by Honda??..I don't understd la these ppl..

sigh..with this mentality Mysian auto scene will be very boring and becoming more and more like indonesia and vietnam market..

anyway...their money their choice..for the others use your money to buy something more interesting.

Get a life

Anyone got Hybrid? Just read through internet - a lot of complaints on the battery. Got one case in Malaysia as well. Hmm, not sure if this new battery has improved. Any comments =).

I know one Honda Hybrid that caught fire and took months for the monkeys at Honda to rectify
WITHOUT COMPENSATION

Li-Ion cost RM13k now as per Honda SA.

[COLOR=red]to be perfectly honest with you, hybrid does not really save money
there was a calculation which i cant find it again over the internet, about fuel saving using a hybrid and whether that does justify the need to pay a bit premium over a regular vehicle
but it is becoming a trend these days to own a hybrid. which is fine to me. u save some money (people say not really but there must be some saving no matter how small it is) u trying to save the mother earth, u are educating your generations/ peers on the importance of driving a hybrid. those are all PLUS points. and hybrids look quite good in everyday life. slap on good bodykits and rims, it is going to be stunning to look at.

in malaysia there is only one case, big case regarding the battery in honda vehicle. specifically the one coupled in an IMA system. you know the story, right. but that case went big NOT because of a faulty battery, because both party didnt want to budge although big compromise by honda malaysia to replace the faulty battery FOC. i dont know how to put it but the battery didnt explode or harmful, it just died for some reason we dont know till today.

i dont know why she rejected the offer and keep going to the tribunal. maybe she was pissed off big time. so there you are. they sold perhaps, in 5-10 thousands of hybrids since the last FD hybrid here in malaysia (including jazz, crz, and insight) and ONE case. so it is 1/5000.

the chances, my friend, are miniscule. very slim.
