Finally found some HCH owners here. I booked mine and will take delivery in Jan 2013.

I have done some comparisons with Insight and Jazz, and found that civic, though Rm20k more suit us more than the above 2.

Main reason for rejecting Insight.... the rear seats are too cramped and ceiling too low. Cant seat any adult taller than 5ft 2in comfortably.

Main reason for rejecting Jazz....still a smaller car, though the ultra seats/flexible trunk space are wonderful. Warranty only 3 years and service...still 5k?

We also thought about the Prius...but RM25k savings can buy us lots of PETROL!

Yes, it is beautiful, larger, star-trek cockpit really shines, but Rm25k more is the killer here....lol.

As we use for 30% town and 70% highway, we think Civic is most suitable for us.

Love and booked the frosty white but hardly see any on the road. Saw a grey HCH at the LCCT airport yesterday. The interior looks classy! The light grey tint really makes the car classier. It is not as sporty as Gen 8, but seems to grow on you. The third time we went back to the showroom...signed up liao...

Hope HCH owners will keep this thread alive to share their experience (any negative beside noise) in here.

Thanks.

Looking forward to my new ride!

P/s: Do you know Prius and HCH are similar priced at USD24k in US? That is why Prius outsell HCH by a mile. In Malaysia, we "save" Rm25k by choosing HCH...that would give me 12500 litres of fuel. Assuming my normal consumption (current waja) is 50 litres a week, that is 250 weeks of happy driving....almost 5 years!
