That sounds like a good idea to me. At least something to bridge all the Honda hybrid users.

Btw there is no Civic hybrid thread in lowyat?

Added on May 16, 2012, 2:13 pmFrom my understanding, it will take some time to achieve the full crown. Its something like a lifetime achievement award for driving eco friendly for a long period of time.

I've heard of this before and I was told this is to charge the IMA battery for example if you dont drive the car at all for more than a week. Then again conventional petrol car will also need to be started at least once a week if the car is left without being driven for a long time. So i don't see any big issues with that.

Since its not in the manual so it could be just another hybrid myth?

Added on May 16, 2012, 2:21 pmI guess coz the Insights owners are the Malaysian Honda mass hybrid pioneers hence the abundant experiences to share..

CRZ thread are more or less dead comparing to here..

There are certain forums page that are available FOC but security will be an issue sometimes.

If u checked the pressure after a long drive in hot daytime then the reading is not so accurate due to air expansion in the tyres.

Usually its recommended to check/air refill tyre pressure in the morning or late evening.

Haha, nolar I usually sleeps very late..

Got a call from SA this evening saying JPJ's dunno wat CBU car system is down so she can't register the car today so she'll try again tomorrow. What can I say, gomen IT system...

Now the car collection is it's either tomorrow evening (fingers crossed) or this Friday...

I'm looking fwd to be driving that car as well, lol. I find the sitting position very comfortable and relaxing for driving

As promised, here is two pictures of our little red riding hood..

Got it yesterday late evening and took us more than one hour thru the madness traffic to reach home from dealer at Old Klang road.

Thanks bro..

At this moment, love the driving feel of the car...its Peaceful..

The tyres felt bit slippery though maybe coz its not run in yet.

Yep, Michelin Energy something..

Perhaps, let see how it goes after the tyre run in period..

Tried the econ mode on a busy highway, bad idea...felt like a sitting duck with all the cars zooming past me. I guess it will be useful only in traffic jams and city drive in the middle of KL.


Yep, realized that yesterday when we were doing the pre delivery car check up with the SA.

I asked her what is the third layer of the tailight for and she wasn't too sure and was looking for the switch. Finally I found out its the rear fog lamp and only the right side contain the light bulb but peeking thru the left side I can see that there is no hole but there's a circle outline.

Shouldn't be difficult to made a cut out on the left side tailight and add an additional bulb if you want to, we did that before for our 2004 Vios taillight, adding bulbs to the center panel.

Slippery as in not much grip if I were to apply slight more throttle when accelerating out of sharp bends..

You are right, overall is a good tyre, comfort is there and road noise is very minimal.

Thanks dude.. , it was my wife's choice actually.

It looked kinda metallic red in the brochure and caught my wife's eye bt in real life its solid but still sharp...hehe

Thanks bro , my choice was lime green coz its kinda striking but wife wants the red

We also thought of changing the rims to black sports rim before the getting the car but now seems like the stock silver rim also looks quite nice with the red color.. Hehe

Added on May 21, 2012, 1:06 amFor Honda dealers, the package is more or less the same for the Jazz hybrid.. choose either cash rebates or free tinting,

Depending on the SA, some will throw in extras such as smart tag or full tank..etc

We opt for the security tint and receive a Honda umbrella and fridge magnets during delivery...

Even with eco mode, once you get used to it for city drive and cruising...it aint that bad at all.

Just hit 350km yesterday and the tank is only half empty.. we are very pleased!..

, yep..total estimated range from the display add to be 649km in total.

Prius C looks quite good for the front bt kinda fail on the back and interior. Don't like the steering design as well.

No problem to share info bro..

Looking at the current political scenario, most likely any new policy will be after the elections. I guess it could be retrospectively but maybe just 1 year?

According to my wife Jazz's engine grunt is quite loud as well when accelerating hard going up a steep slope.

Yep, space was also one of the main reason why we chose Jazz over Prius C. The boot space of Jazz is not bad considering that we can fit a baby walker, a light baby stroller and 2 grocery bags

Added on May 21, 2012, 1:38 pmThat's what the meter indicate but it could change depending on how you drive the car.

First fill up was around RM 68 for 35 liters after taking delivery of the car.

How much for subsequent fill up, maybe other earlier owners can advice you...

Not that I noticed but will try to pay attention to it later.

The SA told me currently the battery cost around RM7K and I forsee the price could be lower in the future if there are more and more hybrid users.

Alright, confirmed our Jazz has that rear rattle sound when goin over bumpy surface. Didn't quite paying attention to it since I tend to play music quite loud in the car

Man, that is a whopping 40psi!.. lol, don't worry ler the tyres wont be damaged so long the pressure are not more than maximum permissible.

Don't think they can do anything about the rattling from the boot board

Can't comment much since never really sat in a 2010 City before but City FL boot space definitely bigger than Jazz.

Cabin space maybe Jazz is bigger.

Comfort should be more or less the same for both but expect City to have lower body roll.

I guess best way for you to find out is to test drive both cars..

Man, this is very rare for a brand new car...hopefully u can get your new ecu soon

Bump into a white one today tho...
So far seen loads of Prius C on the road, 2 silver & 1 green JH but no Red Milano...hehe
