Now that is disappointing...

Less than 4 grand difference but no options for existing V spec owners to retrofit...

For the RON97, nah. it wont clean it off but it will just create lesser carbon residue only compared to RON95 but it's just very very minor difference only. Pump whichever RON you like/can afford.

Try to tally up the price to as close as the price stated by HM maintenance list. Let's say for the next service, HM stated it's RM400, then make sure your final amount do not deviate more than + or - RM50 or so.
If you really want to know which are needed and which are not, you have to join some FB Honda *insert car model name* groups and slowly learn/gather data from the people that posts similar questions as you. Members will reply and tell which are needed and which are not. Slowly, you'll know which are needed and which are "scams" by SC.

Honestly, I'm in one of the groups and I saw that for a service of only RM300+-, the SC managed to get the owner to spend up till RM800++ by adding tons of unnecessary stuffs into the bill.

S -> RM75, 670
E -> RM83 ,080
V -> RM87, 860
RS -> TBD early 2022. Lol they going the same pathway as the City sedan RS. Why delay? LOL

Nice driving experience, smooth, instant throttle response.

Very bad if you always going thru road with many bumps, the recharging engine noise is very loud and weird. or (low-speed)

It will heavily affect the 253nm torque when ur battery required charging. (it is automatic @ 2nd bar level)

70% OKR & 30% highway got me 23km/l fc, full tank can get around 830km.
On highway speeding @ 130km/h only can get 17-19km/l, if you stay around 110km/h still possible to get 20-21km/l

Slow speed will keep using electric only, and the battery drain fast, and charge fast as well. If you plan to drive in city, not really jam.

Less smooth highway, RS battery charging will be a lot, and quite noisy. Usually when you go above 60km/h the charging sounds different, and not rough

Try and test drive the RS, don't go fast, keep go slow only. You will know what is the rough charging sound is about.
It feels like diesel lorry in idle, and very loud if you listen from outside.

But I am okay with it, but I hope the sound proofing can be a lot better, to reduce charging noise

for City not enough power la.. Feels like Myvi acceleration after 110 above.

HR-V could be faster, as the engine PS is 12x, 20PS higher than City. I have thought to get Civic e:HEV after it officially launch tho,
e:HEV feels good when you drive with 2 people in car, if added 2 more people at the back. It actually not feeling good.

Yes the driving experience definitely better than normal car, but when it comes to power (above 100) meh..

----

I have to mention this first, people buy e:HEV not for it's power, or acceleration.
It's main job to do is to save fuel.

I now forgot to visit petrol station, as I only refuel once a month, or once every 3 weeks.

1 Full tank 35l / RM70 last me around 820km

The battery will never run out of juice, it will always be in re-charging mode when at lowest 2nd bar level or 20%
The engine can push your car forward and at the same time charge ur EV juice

110km/h depend on road condition, if downhill or flat, it can run on EV, once u give more power it will use engine

Below around 40-60 only will use EV, any speed above that, using the engine to maintain/run will be more fuel-efficient than using EV

It is loud when 0-30km/h and battery require semi charge and semi push, louder than normal engine acceleration, even louder than MYVI @ 3000 RPM?
Low speed it still force the to use the EV, but the EV does not have enough juice, so the engine instant charge the EV and EV direct output again.
I would say it maybe look like the pasar malam electric generator that kind of noise, but 30% less quiet than that, but still very loud.

The charging noise are different when you're above 60km/h, you know it is charging, but the noise is a lot quieter than low speed.

If I say what I hate the most, was the charging noise at low speed, or idle.
It suppose to be an EV like car, I could amaze others when I start engine and 0 noise.
But it always start the charging immediately, maybe it is due to cold boot.

Driving experience is great, the instant no delay acceleration at traffic light is madness, and very great for traffic jam.

I didn't go rage anymore after sitting in eHEV, compared to myvi. It is comfortable.

Quiet and 0 vibration, pretty good NVH, just listen to music and jam.

I would say it is a different experience than petrol engine.

And you get to enjoy the e-Pedal braking when you let go the acceleration pedal.

no vibration no jerk at all
just feel acceleration very sluggish when the battery is charging / not enough juice
City just semi Sensing, not full spec. Only can follow after 70km/h, I have not tested the full Honda Sensing
Only available to Civic, not sure about HRV

I’ve been driving the RS version for a year. Average fuel consumption is 20.5 - 22 KM/L. This is for town driving with jams.  Definitely better than normal petrol Version.

Seeing some  youtube review, even at high speed (more than 100kmph), when you tekan kuat minyak, the motor will still contribute and work  in hybrid mode. I guess the full engine mode work when you are at high speed stable cruising..when you need more power, the motor will still kick in.
