That's the gear shifter... PRDL...

To elaborate his point:
if you crash in BRV, you die.
if you crash in City, you may die or just walk away with injury.

Just straight P.
Normal car also marrr, just straight push from D to NRP.

Loud because 7 speed gearbox, and mainly because engine need to charge battery to maintain EV mode while driving around in city.
Want it to be quiet ? Drive faster abit when you can hear the engine so it cross through the noisy part quickly (usually loud for the last 3~5 km/h before gear change)
If you do this often, your battery may not be full and your EV time will be shorter because battery not charged.
If you want to charge battery faster, loud engine = faster charging. Means maintain speed when engine is loud.

Yup, clutch will disconnect then 100% braking goes to charge the battery. If got low battery and car engine is forced on to charge battery, will behave I think like VW/Ford DCT.
Abit jerky cause clutch engage/disengage/engage/disengage jolt abit when you wanna follow that car in front in stop and go traffic.
If you unlucky and hovering around Gear 1<>2 shift point while no battery and uphill just a little bit like 2+°, it will jerk like hell as long as you are hovering about the shift point.
80km/h brake gradually until 5km/h can charge the battery for about 20~30%. That should last... about 2~3 minutes of AC or 10~15 minutes without AC (just enough to get through some jams).

Last tank puasa/hari raya + screwing around for 2 days 900km with 80km to go (2 bar), avg 850km for 85% highway w/ jam. (usually jam take +50% longer vs no traffic)


Got.

Cause hybrid EV cruising, no engine noise. Only left with tyre and road noise. The factory Goodyear quite noisy even with padding.

Got. Eat alot of small stones and gravel.

If gonna be stuck in a jam everyday, FC not affected.
If flying highway 100km/h+ everyday, ok lah. Still quite negligible. Better to dump the spare tyre, seal the front bonnet gaps, change lighter weight and eco-design rims, lower the car, dump the passenger headrests, fold the side mirrors/change to Spoon.

Battery is at the boot, not below seat. You do not have a compartment for spare tyre.
Yes, this is normal. If AC not turned on, windows full up, re-circulate (orange light on AC), 40 minutes drive, the interior gets up to 35°C with 32-33°C outside. If outside is 34°C, interior goes up to 37°C.
Back to your question. Yes this is normal, because of the battery having no ventilation at all. It recirculates the heat in the boot. Honda retrofit design
If you want to balance the heat distribution, fold down one rear seat to allow the trapped heat from the boot to mix with rear and front passenger area.

Yes, normal. Can see incoming car if you squint abit at the edges.
Without squinting, can start see incoming car when they are at ~2.5-3 cars away if cars are parked perpendicular, | | | | | | | |

Not sure about LED colour output but one TT, got 1 of 12 City got yellowish DRL.
Cannot capture with camera, but when see side by side, quite obvious... something like 6300K -> 5800K. Immediately can see difference and go hrmmm...
At least it was matching pairs though 😅.

Seems about right.

City
Jazz
Top left, change MPG -> km/L to match readout in car.

I mean the website change from MPG to km/L, can be found at top left of that site

Yup econ has more aggressive shifting profile if foot is light. (shift at lower RPM; not 'aggressive' as in engine roar then shift)
It's quieter also because of this. Normal mode, it'll rev up to 2000~2200 rpm then shift, Econ, 1900~2000 rpm then shift with normal 2-3 Power bar acceleration iirc.
Been quite some time since I've seen the OBD...

If town driving, it's better to ramp up to 55~58 km/h (meter under 60km/h) with +2-3 bar then when you can hear the engine revving, keep at +1 Power bar, maintain speed and keep the engine on.
This is supposedly the most efficient charging method while in town.
Just think of driving with this mindset to maximise aircond time without getting into 2 bar forced charging and jerking around.
Do it for the AC, not the FC 😅

RainX ?
Get those 3M-tape plastic stick-on flat pieces to stick above side mirrors ?

LOL, sorry, you are using the wrong car.
Either use new Civic or CRV or change aftermarket head unit.

Weird... my previous myvi 1.3 ezi was doing about 390±20km with 26±3L, same route now with hybrid, doing 860±30km with 35±1L 🤔

both myvi mentioned before quoted post was EZi, 1.3L.
If I recall, engine was screaming at 2800rpm+ and already in final gear when cruising 80 km/h highway 🤪
New DCT 1550rpm at 80km/h 😌 so satisfying... only tyre noise.

If you wanna do the proper way, then yes. Let it blue light off then only move for emission reasons.
But dis malaysia, f it. Turn key, start car, whack 3000rpm up to 60km/h coldstart to warm up engine and gearbox faster noproblemo /s

City driving, accelerate gradually to 60km/h, maintain 0.5 bar Power when in EV.
Keep the speed at 60~58 without cruise control. 58km/h -> 60 km/h, use at most 1 bar EV to reach over 5+ second period. (Unless slight incline or uphill)
1 bar EV is inefficient.
When decelerating to red light/bump, fully release the pedal to do proper regen. Honda graphics is lying when it says 2 or 1 bar Charge. It's not actually charging. It's actually using some battery to coast. Full release only it does real regen braking.

Tint is more effective at deflecting heat when Parked.
Sunshade is more effective at blocking sunlight when driving during morning/afternoon sun.

Can't ratio like that. Quoted hp is peak. A car can do a peak hp at xxxx rpm then it drops off at higher rpm due to lower torque produced at higher rpm.

Smartphone era...

If you've seen the video on the axia speeding at 120~140km/h and complaining wind noise, the solution was to fold the side mirrors ✌

No point going max charge, engine will be forced on and you can't be in EV mode.
