i didn't say that jazz can't do long distance travel.
of coz jazz can. myvi can, kancil also can.

it's the level of comfiness or "selesa".

bigger car (class wise) provide more comfort.
preve is one class with altis/civic.
jazz is up-saga class. (well with the introduction of honda brio /saga/viva class)

ya bro. I know all can do long distance and I know you meant comfortness, but to me jazz also comfort as preve/altis/civic (c class segment) what. No meh?

it's subjective then.

there is no all-around car.

for me, as long as it can serve me as it should, it's worthy

i driven before both... the CFE was a journalist unit when it was a couple months after they launched it... so, it is what i should say quite well used... i for sure certainly didn't take care of it when i was driving.. so, you get the idea...

power wise is a very subjective thing... if you really need that amount of power delivery out of the car... then preve seems a better bet... but on paper, it doesn't seem much since it is only less than 20 horses more with 20kgm on tap and it is heavier than the jazz to begin with...

i am not saying the preve is not good... it is worthy from the perspective that it is a segment c sedan and it is priced lower than a jazz even after it was CKD'ed...

so, it's at the end of the day a question of what you prefer between both cars... one might look nice, one might be more powerful, one might be comfier, one might have more flexible room in the car...it's a question of balancing what you want as both might have a certain something that you fancy but for sure no one will find everything they want in one car...

actually the jazz also has quite ample space for things as there is no boot lid to prevent luggage storing... and if car is not fully loaded with people.. the ultra seats can be folded down to store more luggage... it might not be what most people want.... but it is a good thing to have sometimes...

going shopping for huge and bulky items is usually more easier with the jazz as the preve might find it harder to stuff chunky things into the boot...

comfort wise... i think the preve wins because the jazz ultraseats are never as comfortable...

dun feel it on short trips.. but definitely noticeable on longer ones...

yup bro. it was a tough decision to make.

any different between this ckd n cbu version?

which CBU and version?

very obviously, the price... more parts on the car being localized (almost 40% according to honda) compared to the thai imports, lost 16 inch wheels, slightly different look compared to thai cbu grade v (face-lifted version)... and if you compared with the original ge8 (non face-lifted) grade v, then you lose even more things like audio control, paddle shift (but that's 100k easily)

it's practically the same car as the thai imported grade s that was sold for over 90k not long before the launch of the ckd jazz hybrid...

for a comparison, order in chronological of introduction....

Jazz Grade V and S (second gen, original GE8)

Jazz Grade V (face-lift)

Jazz Grade S (face-lift)

Jazz Petrol CKD

thanks..the quality same?fitting,noise,etc.

I'm considering to buy Jazz hybrid.

However, is it true that hybrid cars resale value is low? Because you have to change the battery every 10 years and the hybrid car battery cost RM10,000+. So second hand buyers will be put off when they realized they need to change the battery in a few more years.

Car milage <1000km, not yet 1st service.
I travelled from KL to Mersing via Plus.

FC Report

Maintaining most of the time @90km/h, @2k rpm.
Average FC as shown on meter is 17.0 km/l, or 5.9l/100km.
from Plus Seremban petronas to Mersing, a little bit of 1/2tank.

R&H

Good control at ayer hitam-kluang-nitar road, I would rate it slightly below gen2.
But good power delivery above gen2 1.6 campro vanilla HL.

Space

Noticebly more spacious than myvi 1st gen & more comfort.

Congrats on your purchase. When did u collect your car? What color?

This is your solution ~~~~

Thanks

It's my wife's car.

On thursday 28/11, Taffeta white.

Interesting

Battery costs 10,000? They have reduced it to 3k plus for new battery and it comes with 8 years warranty.when u buy their hybrid jazz it also comes with the warranty

Wow.. White is one of the hardest color to maintain bro. Did u do coating?

I also got for my wife but it's brown. Almost coming up to 1k service. Got it earlier on 3rd nov.

Looks as good as the cbu versions

But, only time will tell

How's your FC so far?

wow a bit high bro. u can get lower from me
