i agree.

also agree

I've tested the Honda Jazz Hybird, and it was beyond my expectation in performance and handling section.

Maybe you want to consider that since petrol price will keep increase in near future

the cabin quitness of JazzPet is on par with myvi.

meet my expectation

My loan has been approved. 2.57%.
Probably could get the car by December 2013.
I choose petrol instead of hybrid because
1) I believe the current Jazz's hybrid is not there yet. Have a Prius in the house.
2) Easier maintenance after 3 years warranty is over. The mechanic outside knows petrol engine.
3) Petrol got more POWARRRRRRR!!!!! on highway.
4) Prefer manual aircond control on Jazz petrol.
5) Fuel consumption not a big deal coz I only drive ~300km a week.

One think I need to think after 3 years, how to change the ICE?

only on par???

it's actually much more muted than the myvi... from the closing of the door.. you already know the jazz passenger cabin will be quieter because the doors are much heavier to close and closes with a much more solid sound rather than a more metal against metal sound on a myvi...

that being said, it's not really that quiet if you have high expectations but being a 75k ringgit car, i don't think one should be complaining that much...

if you are aiming for a top of the line myvi... it's a worthy investment to consider forking out more for the jazz petrol since it's roughly 20k extra on top of the 1.5se and there is a better chance of resale value some time down the road...

the jazz hybrid is not a full hybrid car... .so, can't really compare to the prius... it doesn't even have EV mode... it is only offering energy recovery and power assistance...but on the other hand... you know that the cycle on the battery charge and discharge is not as heavy as a full hybrid car hence the possibility of a replacement is not as soon as well...

actually the hybrid feels quite OK trundling around the city... on highway, i guess the petrol is better but not by a mile...

good luck with that... you need a panel replacement to fit a single or dual din player into the car... a bit of hassle to do so... and there is possibility of gaps after your player goes in...

not sure if this is the same one for the current GE8 that malaysia is selling... looks slightly different... but accessory shops should have them...

how long and how much is your loan?

Loan 45k, 7 years.

no offense my fren

my wive had just traded her pre-loved myvi mk1 premium ver for this JazzPet.
this is my opinion of 1day owning the car

if cabin quiteness, preve cfe wins!

(cabin quiteness at +- 90km/h for both JazzPet & CFE)

but your preve got rattling round inside or not ?

Read at Preve thread, it seem all the car with rattling sound ?

ah.. i dun have any preve. that was the shorum unit.

i've testdriven preve turbo after i testdrove JazzHyb.
my wife & I were amazed with the quiteness & effortless cfe was.

rattling sound in preve? i dun know.
i still reading in their forum, here, but it seems that they managed to solve it.

frankly speaking, if the fit&finish of preve was made better, it would be my pick.
wait n see lah...hehehe

Yes, I intend to buy preve but after following the Preve thread for past few months, I see so many complaining of rattling sound here and there.

Recently got one share that after he complain to SC, the SC ask him to sit in another preve and it is the same problem. Meaning seem like standard rattling sound.

i mean you have to look at it from a totality point of view...

in terms of NVH short and long term as you said it's a showroom unit.... resale value after x amount of years and whether do you really need the power you gain from the preve...

To tell you the truth, preve would be a better choice than jazz petrol. Simply being it's loaded with accessories and the ride is good. The only thing is the name - Proton!

oic.

i've testdriven testdrive unit preve cfe & testdrive unit jazzhyb.
both are testdrive units.
that is that. nothing more, nothing less.

i dun even know how jazzpet will perform over the years. not testdrive unit at that time.

& i highlighted my concern, while u may have ur concern also.

i really love the torque, the linear power delivery of that cfe.
have u, honestly, testdriven a cfe?

fyi, we bought a jazzpet since we only travel around the KL.

you wan total quietness you have to pay (more) la

don't misunderstand my stance here.

i have nothing against proton. i love the R&H of latest proton.

unfortunately, i'm not to keen in electronic/gadgets.

as for preve, when the time is right, i might buy 1 for long distance travel.

ps: i always swap my previous car wif my mom's gen2 for long travel.

hmm.. I don't get it. Why Jazz cannot be used for long distance travel? To me, I feel Jazz or Preve, both are good for long distance travel.

Preve only advantage is the boot size. If a family travels with less things, then Jazz also ok what...
