if fuel saving is ur point than the jazz hybrid can only give average 17-19km/L nothing much difference with non-hybrid vehicle ..

The reason we hear the loud wind noise is because of the silent & smooth engine. For other cars, when driving >100km/h the engine sound are loud & you won't notice any wind sound other then the engine sound (normally we will increase the radio volume to cover the loud engine).

The big drawback for Honda Hybrid is the air con compressor off together with the engine. Imagine while driving under the hot sun, your air-con off while you stop, you be sweating & cook if stuck in the jam.

and most IMA hybrid owner say their car will jerk when the engine going for auto-stop .. and claim it is normal due to their cvt system ??

Lol. where got non hybrid vehicle can get that figure so easy

U do have a point with the Honda aircond thing. It feels a bit weird. Although I still can feel the coldness of the air.

ford tdci and vw .. vios/city event myvi if u didn't drive like F1 . can get

got 1 forumer here drive myvi 1.0 get 20km/L using off engine at traffic light

air cond thing is u still feel the cold bcos the bower is running but not the compressor for few minute u still can feel the cold ..

Hi guys, I think you all should know that the latest new civic hybrid solves that air-con problem by adding an electric-motor-driven portion to the A/C compressor. So, at a stop, the electric compressor keeps the cabin cool. Don't want the honda ppl think that we are dump, when still talking about thing that honda had solve already(but not all models currently, only new civic hybrid launched this year).

Both Honda n Toyota Hybrid is 2 different system and design. Both design to cattle different group of consumer. Those who look for small, compact, good FC, short distance driving, i think mostly will choose PC. For those who looking for cool interior display and design, more powerful speed up, long distance driving comfortable, then HCH or CR-Z will be their choice. My self never try Jazz Hybrid b4, i cant give any comment on that but I own both PC and HCH, my personal feeling is even both 1.5cc but HCH giving u more powerful speed up, more comfortable and stable while driving at high speed and long distance. Wind noise level abt this 2 car, HCH deliver more quiet and good sound proof body if compare to PC.

Above comment is just my 2 cent. Any how, it really depend on how u feel when u drive the car. Try test drive both n feel ur self. Dun just follow wat ppl said is good. At last, u r still the one who drive the car.

conqu3ror: The Honda Hybrid tat u mentioned i think is old batch. My HCH dun encounter this problem even i ON the ECO function. Currently ECO function is when u press ur brake, the engine will fully shut down but ur aircon compressor is still running. U r still seating comfortable and enjoy the cold air in ur car.

ya...me also...gps is accurate 1....+- 10kmh........detect movement from satellite....that why speed enforcement stat to sue u went ur speed extra 10kmh....let say 110kmh spd limt, but ur speedo meter go for 121kmh....AES also like that....depend on location...

Yup...latest batch solved already..
Pity those previous batch owners...
They've been duped by Honda who rushes out Hybrid Models scared of losing market share to Toyota

Just got my black mica PC yesterday... Confirm Bluetooth came with the standard audio player although UMW didn't specify it in the specs.. Booked in mid August so waiting time slightly over 2 months... First trip from pj to kl today managed to clocked in 27km/l.. Am loving it so much and extremely fun to drive in!

Thanks for that link. I like the part which he mention

"eCVT is an excellent transmission system because mechanically it is so simple. One single planetary gearset, no gear-shifting wear-and-tear, no clutch, no hot-running torque converter, no regular-CVT friction belts.

Unlike a regular-car multispeed gear-shifting transmission that has over 100 moving parts, the PSD transmission in the Prius has all of 22 moving parts. Less moving parts = less potential failure points = lower maintenance."

The more I research and google around on hybrid tech, the more I respect Toyota hybrid technology.

After watching this link:-

As an engineer myself, I totally salute to Toyota hybrid technology, it real awesome...I pay my & to Toyota hybrid system......

Did you have your ECO mode turn on? ECO retard the accelerator sudden depress, thats why it will crawl even when you floor.

You are right.

For example, the car can run >50% of the distance on EV mode, petrol is not needed most of the time. That's how a good fuel efficiency is achieved. In this example here, 65% on EV mode...

Hi guys, would like to know if this car is gonna maintain its fuel efficiency if I cruise at 110kmh for long distance?

i have drice PC johor-kl twice.. my speed almost 110-120kmj and sometime reach 140kmj.. so far the FC still the best compare other fully petrol.. i assume the PC petrol engine and battery motor work together to get bes FC..

Wow congrats sassy. Welcome to the club. Hope you enjoy ur new PC ya
