Btw, spoke to one of the SA, he mention tinted can void warranty if any damage to the window i.e. Power window damage in future. Is that true?

LOL i thought am the only one complain about the noisy gear shifts. TRUE VERY noisy

because the stick will always go back to the original position. That cause the annoying double kling each shift

I have test drive the Honda city hybrid just now and my reaction towards the engine sound and the acceleration of the car is the same as review by bobby ang. The car is fast and in sport mode, can feel the power and rev. Just my personal opinion.

Btw, spoke to one of the SA, he mention tinted can void warranty if any damage to the window i.e. Power window damage in future. Is that true?

True. It will only void on the part warranty and anything that is connected to it.

Go for branded tints. They are expensive for a reason

hi Guys,

good Morning.

How about the RV for hybrids after 5 years since the battery life span is 8 years?

Now 36.2% market share I think.

So over 1 in 3 cars is P2.

I think soon can reach 1 in 2 if Proton still not improve their sales

The problem is malaysian mindset and dealer , it would go meh after 5 years . People are worried about other hybrid tech , not just the battery. so keep that in mind.

Hi Dante,

Mind if you share which dealer / Honda Malaysia statement that the gearbox is covered under warranty?
I really don't wanna buy and then Honda Malaysia coming back and telling me it's not covered.. hence a written statement would be good.

Thanks!

To be covered under warranty, I suppose owners need to continue sending the car for service at Honda? Not many will want this, especially when other parts are no longer covered by warranty..

You might want to get a written statement on that. I read in HM website that City non-hybrid version only needs to change its CVT oil at 160,000km, with the rest being just "I" (inspect).

Firstly, don't be poised with the combined power of the Hybrid which is claimed to be around 1.8l car's performance. Battery needs to have full charge before you have the power on tap and it is not as simple as 1+1=2. If the battery is not charged, you're just carrying a dead weight of heavy battery.

Secondly, this car has NO spare tyres! My experience with previous gen Jazz Hybrid; few times dy the tyre was flat due to road hazard and there's nothing you could do except to call highway patrol or your relative to fetch you. The tyre patch provided is useless and the provided tyre pump can't do shit if your tyre has torn apart/blisters. Good luck with that.

1st if all, the battery will auto re-charge back when it low, 2ndly, the purpose of Hybrid is not for power, but to reduce consumption, it just a bonus of increase pickup when need like up hill or over take.

as for the spare tyre, so lucky that, my both car spare tyre are more than 5yrs in the boot without using it until the tyre had harden.
