I went to honda dealer to test drive Jazz Petrol but they say only have Hybrid version. Tested the hybrid it was ok and silent and smooth.

So the SA let me test City to test the engine since jazz and city share the same engine. I found the engine noise to be much louder than the Hybrid version.

Any idea if the Jazz Petrol radio/cd sound system is ok? Does it sound cheap?

You tested jazz petrol before?

Reason is because the engine is much nearer to the cabin in the jazz compared to city. So i believe jazz will be even noisier if compared to city. Above 3k rpm in the honda city i already find the engine to be buzzy. God knows how it will be when vtec kicked in the jazz 

still deciding between going for better design(jazz) or going for better driving experience(almera/vios/polosedan) 

preve not so fuel economically because i'm doing 80% city all the time 

it's all based on your expectations...
dun set your expectations too high... the L15A is a single cam vtec with no cam lift... just variable valve timing if i am not wrong...
it just sounds louder than what you hear @ 3k revs...

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...

but your preve got rattling round inside or not ?

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

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!

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...

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?

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...

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

This is your solution ~~~~

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. 

THanks Nova, i hope that my FC record will be better for this, i am using Petronas, any better recommendation ?

Wow... That's quite bad. My first tank can go 360kms with refuel at RM64. This is 70% city driving with short distance travelled.

Anyway, just monitor it till the first 1k service.

K, I want to ask people here. I feel that there's wind noise when travel above 90km/h. Do u all experience this?

I lodge a report when doing my 1k service 2 days ago and they tested the car and said its normal! The service center was HZR glenmarie.
