City got paddle shifter, rear aircond, one extra 12V outlet and extra door speakers(not sure about this one).
If house/work/gai gai parking space is not an issue or your family fleet got no sedan, get sedan.
Fuel economy probably +/- 0.5 km/l, which is peanuts since hybrid hitting 20km/l ~ 24km/l.
0 to 100 also should be about +/- 0.5 seconds which is negligible.

If you haven't test drive hybrid yet, do this, see whether you can tahan or not, or else after you buy then regret.

Find one long stretch, 1 street length will do.
Press 'S' mode.
Then drive like in traffic jam.
Press pedal slowly to accelerate to 15~25 km/h then release pedal to coast abit, then after 2-3 seconds or until 5 km/h, (make sure the car is still rolling)
press pedal slowly to accelerate to 15~25km/h then release pedal and coast, then repeat repeat repeat.
If you can feel the jerk, see you can tahan or not.

Offtopic:
Weird thing is, I tried recording on dashcam 3M tape windscreen, but the car is STEADY. Only driver + passengers can feel the jerk.
Will try recording more to get more samples...

you mean this hybrid will jerk if we drive slowly like traffic jam in s mode? what about D or eco mode?

OK, then RM1k is a bit more palatable.

But, lowering spring is not my thing. If someone is after looks. Then, by all means.

Else, Eibach or Tein. It is the same thing. Once you lower it, it messes something up in one way or another. Furthermore, progressive springs and shortened damper travel is just not my cup of tea.

Not that my adjustables are any better. But, just saying. If you want comfort, just stick with stock.

city hybrid or jazz hybrid? compare their noise level, handling, fuel economy and 0 to100km. i plan to buy one of them.

1) Last night i was in USJ area, the water level is quite high due to the rain, because i was moving forward against the water, now my number plate curved inwards at the middle part there.... is it ok to change a new one just for the front part? Any knows the price? Or change at outside better?

2) After i reach home, i put my gear to P, and i noticed that my engine sounds is louder than usual, could it be that the water has gone into my engine?

I just owned Jazz e specs.
Found out the HU/radio is so so only.
I want to change the HU from outside shop. It is plug and play unit.
By right it won't void the warranty but just to make sure:
Will it void the warranty? as I did it from outside shop.

Thanks

what are you planning to buy? something with apple car play hor?

does anyone notice that the sound system (speakers's volume) sometimes can be high and all of sudden a bit low, and then after awhile it become high and normal although the volume is set at 16 (for example)

Anyone had this experience ?

In dash GPS is usually very expensive and the problem of updated maps exists. Having android auto or car play support is the better way to go.

Having GPS alone is never as good as having traffic information at hand as well with the likes of google maps and waze.

Something worth thinking about as the headunit does not have data capabilities. Only basic offline maps which might become outdated after a while.

For number plates, you don't need to change front and back in a pair. Unless you are very particular that both lettering must be the exact same one. Else, you can do only just one, depending on which one cracked. You can even just stick back a single letter if it fell off.

I'd say no more than RM30 depending on the size of the plate for JPJ compliant (cheap) ones. If you want some with fancy lettering, reflective lettering, semi transparent lettering, custom plate material (not the standard black ones) which btw are "considered" illegal in JPJ's view. Those would cost a bit more than normal ones. Up in the hundreds is not abnormal for those really fancy ones.
The problem is the entire system, not the HU alone. Once you change the HU, you will realize the speakers are rubbish as well.

No HU is plug and play as it is meant to fit universally on all cars meaning it is a wired in connection. If they were to make specific models for specific cars. Their inventory would be same as the wiring harness are not standardized on all car.

As long as the shop does not cut your original wiring harness to wire-in to the HU, it should be safe.

Most of them in fact will try to sell you this standardized adapters specific for your car which plugs into the original harness on one end and does not terminate with any connectors on the other so it can be wired into the HU without meddling around with factory wire harness.

If anything were to happen with electrical, at least you can put the original head unit back in and no one will know the better.

Even the speakers have specific harness adapters which you can find on taobao.

If the engine has too much water going in, it would have killed itself as water is non compressible and if it enters the combustion chamber, it would cause damage beyond operation.

Also, unless you have drove through a flood. Unlikely the water can do much damage as the bottom end of the engine is usually quite water tight.
No need to buy a number plate from Honda. They don't make number plates. Even if they do for you, they get it from outside of their service centers.

The engine is a pretty hot place, any waters that can go into the engine would either cause damage almost immediately or would have evaporated quite rapidly.

It might be in your mind after all if you ask me.

That's SVC or some speed dependant volume control or something like that. Turn it off if it bothers you.

Managed to get 6 bars on hybrid battery , the engine was not turned on. I was surprised , first time ever

thanks sifu will take a look on it tomorrow.
kinda bothers me. i thought my ears are the problem haha

How'd you do that 
It should be on the head unit, Press FM/Bluetooth, Bottom right side, top-left icon SVC OFF LOW MID HIGH.

Usually they won't quote a pair as it is not necessary to change both and there is no standardized pricing. It all depends on the size, the thickness of the plate they use, the letters to determine the price. RM50 to RM60 is right about where you would expect to pay for a front and back plate replacement especially our rear end plate is quite big if you need to make a plate to fill up the whole area instead of those standard rectangular ones.
That is totally up to you. I believe there are some units out there that might fit your requirements.

This supports apple car play and android auto both, in case you switch mobile platforms to android. But, it does however not play CD's i think.

In theory, that will be the case. At least if anything goes wrong electrically related. You can just swap the original HU back in (assuming you don't sell it) without anyone knowing. If you do not install other components. Usually the HU and speakers is where wires might be cut into in order for the installation as the plug on the wiring harness is specific to Honda and the speakers also uses somewhat of a proprietary connector.

I have swapped my stock HU to a pioneer double DIN unit. But mine was not the 3rd generation Jazz.

My generation was the first Jazz to be CKD'ed. We were only given the normal 1 year warranty and only First 3 service labour free. Talk about the stinginess after having to wait 4 months for the delivery.

I am not a poster child for warranty as the car went through
~ 17-inch rim change, the 2nd day of taking delivery along with tinting at Raytech. It would be the 1st day if i did not take delivery of the car late in the evening. So late that the SA did not even bother to explain to me about the car stuff
~ another rim change 6 months down the road as i was waiting delivery of my Buddyclub P1SF
~ installed DVR, tapping internal compartment fuse box within 1st year
~ installed ultragauge, nothing special. Just plug to OBD port, but if they know what it could do like clearing error codes. They could raise some suspicion about it.
~ swap for some german maestro speakers front and back within 1st year
~ thrown stock steering out for aftermarket during airbag recall period
~ GAB SS can't remember when
~ slightly BBK upgrade kit can't remember when too
~ swapped driver seats, can't remember when too
~ swapped head unit, can't remember when too
~ revalved, change springs, revalved again, revalved again, and now leaking

I still managed to claim the aircond compressor toggle switch as it was turning on and off when going through bumpy roads during the 3rd service (6months). Told them on the 2nd service (3months) of the problem and they said they will claim which takes time and should do it during the next service or whichever comes first.

So, i don't know about warranty. But, i did what i did anyways. They noticed i did some stuff to it during warranty period but they never bothered to kacau also.
