already make appoinment at Honda SC Damansara tomorow morning.
will update the result after checking..

kindly please keep us updated

I'm quiet satisfied with this car. I think it return a good value for money for 75 grands. This is my first car so I can't really compare with other ride.

But recently I noticed there are squeaking sounds around the dashboard. Every time I slow down and approach a speed bump, I can hear the sound, ngekkkk. Only when the car climb the speed bump, not during normal cruising on straight. Then now sometime I can hear a slower squeak sound every time I turn the steering wheel.

What could possibly be the problem? Before I go to the SC I want to possibly pin point the defect, I don't want them to just blindly couldn't find anything.

just make sure you can or know how to reproduce the problem... when reporting it to service center.. they will send a technician out with you for a ride to understand the problem... so, just make sure you can reproduce it and they will assist you however they can...

Well, if you can live with it, then live with it! Sometimes, I'm more worried giving to the service centers to 'fix' these type of problems. Who knows, maybe later come out with more problems!

Perhaps you should let it 'simmer' down for a while first. Perhaps the plastic need to run it... haha..

i heard air cond will stop during traffic jam because the engine also stop, is dat true?

yes, it's an eco thing..

it can be bypassed by shifting into neutral or putting it in "S" mode....

Any idea on fc?

That was happened on Honda Insight only. I don't face this air con stop issue on Honda Jazz Hybrid.

odometer 1300km++
mostly NPE-Jln Templer-Jln Puchong, peak hr, max speed approx 60km/h, light foot.
for distance of 344km, 33.386L of Petronas Ron95 consumed.
therefore FC 10.3km/L or 9.71L/100km.

so tempt to buy the new hybrid jazz, how much is the monthly payment ah? any year end promotions right now?

discount 10k but no stock... have to wait for jan which might not have the same 10k promo... but might still get 8k...

expect no less than 900 per month if you pay 0 downpayment (discount as downpayment) for 9 year hire purchase tenure...

if i book now but the car only arrive in january, i won't be entitled for the rm10k promotion???

Looking at the meter is not way to determine FC. In city drive, you will be lucky to have 60% of that.

MyVi suspension is rubbish..even my old 7 years old Sephia also better than a New Myi previously. Just about anything else is better.

the 10k promo dictates that the car has to be registered by 31st dec 2013...

as for jan 2014 onwards.. no one knows what will be the offer as it is still going to be 2013 made cars...rumor is 8k discount...

what you should do is go around a couple of dealerships and see who has stocks that you want or can deliver fastest with the commitment of the 10k discount... then you make your booking there with 500 bucks...

if they can't deliver on time or without the discount, you can always cancel booking and get back the money (but, please double confirm before you pay the booking that you can get back the money just in case)...

else, i heard the petrol ckd now delivers quite fast with some dealerships delivery as quickly as 2 weeks on certain colors and is as low as 750 per month i think... so, you might want to try there... but the petrol ckd

1. has no discounts
2. you have to fork out down payment of 8k
3. has no 3 year service (parts & labour).. only first 3 service

+- a bit... the hybrid is actually about the same price as the petrol variant with a free 3 year service but there is a caveat to it... the battery of the IMA which is still practically an unknown now... so, it might or it might not be a ticking time bomb if you take too long to repay the car... best if it can be cleared by 5~6 years and you can start considering replacements... battery is not too expensive now... but still a whopping 5k if not wrong...

thanks for the heads up! sadly this weekend i'm away with course so can't go scouting. by the time i'm back it'll be over x'mas so i don't think they can deliver within a week. well... guess i'll just scout in january.

if the petrol has no discount, but still monthly payment of Rm750 is significantly lower than the Rm9xx monthly of the hybrid, that's equally cheaper! d/p shouldn't be a problem. but no free 3-year-service is a big bubu

it's about rm3.3k worth of service over 3 years... but, it is most likely more reliable to drive in the long term if you need to hang on to it for long periods of time...

U sure it's 10.3km/l? Its kinda high, around 20cents/km... Any reading for 50 town-50 highway drive?


The 10k is not there anymore if I not mistaken, and the 3 years free service confirm is not there (check with my SA, and honda website written down as 3 times free service, similar to petrol)..

If next year still got 8k, but without the free service, it's still worth I think...

U r right that the IMA battery is a time bomb, as we duno how reliable is it... But honda claim that the battery will last the lifetime of the car, and easily 10 years.. Hopefully this is true...

And for the battery, it cost RM 3980

yup, sure. this pure town driving, odo 1300+ km, engine not "masak" yet.

& i find that the average FC shown at the dashboard is quite accurate.

i believe u may lurk into honda city thread for their FC since both cars r using L15a7 i-vtec.

no 50-50 drive as i find it difficult to segregate 50-50.

but i'll post my "balik kg" trip FC once in a while

I think its about there 10kpl for city drives especially if involves slow traffic..watever you can do gets offset once u slows down or stop...u might be able to push 13kpl in those situations..but it will seriously annoy a lot of people behind you...the problem is there is not enough speed to compensate for the losses during the stops to cover back the drops in the kpl when it moves again

15~17kpl is doable on express ways at higher speeds
