Thanks guys, for the info. Will definitely check out the Klang showroom smile.gif
But was wondering is it worth waiting for the new model?
According to the SA, new and better engine + battery, better fuel consumption.
He mentioned that the market value of current model will depreciate just after 6 months of driving due to the announcement of new model  hmm.gif

No doubt the new car is better than current model, and bases on Japan spec, it will be a lot better...

But few things to consider:
- the price of new model will definitely be much higher than current model.. Not surprise if it exceeds the 100k mark..
- if it is CBU, the tax exemption might not continue beyond dec 2013, which will further push the car price to 130-150k..
- the resale value of current model will not be impacted much with the release of new model... Just have a look at dugong, civic 8th gen and altis...
- if you are buying car with depreciation/resale value as a top priority, then I dun recommend hybrid for u..

All in all, it it only worth waiting if your SA can confirm the price will be around 80-90k with current promotion, which obviously he cant.. So, the ball is in your court smile.gif

Sorry to hear that bro. I remembered my salesman said that the battery was fully protected and auto shut off during flood. Guess he doesn't know what he was talking about then.

I think our jazz has alternator. There was once i was away for about 1.5 months and my battery (front) was dead. I had to jump start my car using another car. I checked the IMA and it was still almost full. From that I came to a conclusion that IMA and front battery does not talk to each other. They work separately.

Besides that another point is that the hybrid car can still go on petrol without IMA's support but it is way underpowered and no mood to drive. In this forum V1, someone said that his IMA battery died for Honda Insight so he was driving while underpowered.

U sure it will be way underpowered? Cos Singapore is selling Petrol Jazz too, 1.3 iVtec too...

Jazz hybrid is like 1.5-1.6 kind of pickup, IMA pampers you with high torque. If IMA is gone, it behaves like 1.3 and intermittent 1.5 pickup. So it becomes really frustration with sudden pickup and sudden drag.

The 1.3 iVtec is lighter than hybrid by around 70kg. Those drivers are used to 1.3 pickup from the first day. They can't really feel the pinch.

Felt relieved after reading your post.. At least it still has 1.3 pickup.. And if SG selling 1.3, it should have acceptable pickup (of cos cant compare with hybrid)...

Initially I was worried if the IMA battery dies, the car become undrive-able due to excessive loss of power...

Well another thing that got me worried now. The 12v battery is charged using the IMA since hybrid does not have alternator.

So if IMA battery dies does that mean the 12v does not get charged?

I am not sure on this... Hmm... hmm.gif
