Anyone using hybrid cars? Like the Honda RS line .? Will the maintenance cost a bomb in the future? Any thoughts or regrets?

Thinking of getting one but not sure is it worth it to add another 20k+ for the RS (in this case the city)

don't intend to own one ,so no comment. lol

maintenance/servicing cost can look at utube/google lor, ady got people calculate how much the expected cost overall. if not mistaken less than <rm5k for 5 years.

hybrid battery... i imagine same like prius lor. u only nid to worry about battery after 8-10 years later.
even then shouldn't cost a bomb, probably <rm6k-rm8k to replace all

Road tax for hybrid any revision from gov?

Last 2 gen civic hybrid 10 year old have no issues and quite reliable before sold, daily total 35km travel go and back exclude use on working hours

Only problem too low always scratch bottom if too fast over hump, fuel consumption if waja monthly RM 700 hybrid RM 400

Maintenance fees if you can afford the vehicle of course you can pay for it , if maintenance too high just skip hybrid

Current generation hybrid i have no idea not owning another yet after old hybrid sold

Topup 20k for city RS, might as well topup all the way to get a cibik

Im using myvi 119

Reliability AAAA

Ya.. would like to know too .. I've got my eye on the new Innova zenix hybrid..

cannot afford the pay the extra price for hybrid version T__T

the only hybrid that i'm interested is Prius, but UMW don't sell this anymore.

Civic ehev service maintenance is cheap. Even cheaper than x50.

Battery got long warranty. Ok la kot. But to keep ur warranty u cannot modify anythg la. U know honda so strict with their warranty policy.

I still own Jazz Hybrid CBU 2012, 135k mileage. Normal service like any normal non hybrid car. Need a set of tyre when due, new absorber after 10 years of use, on 3rd 12v battery after nearly 12 years of use. A lot less fuel 8,600 litre of fuels for 135,000km travelled.

Hybrid related problem near zero, just last month had to change the hybrid battery cooling fan. RM1k. That's it. That's the only issue after 11++ years of use.

No regret because at that time (2012, RM100k price tag) this car came with 8 air bags, auto headlight, auto wiper, auto cruise, hill assist, climate control AC and many more extras while other car at that time - comes with virtually nothing extra.

I am using honda city hybrid idcd for 5 years now.
So far so good. No problem on hybrid system.
FC very good, average 21km/l in town driving.
Max range can go ~750-900km per full refuel. I only need isi minyak ONCE every 3 weeks.

Roadtax follow those normal petrol car. Yearly rm90 since it is a 1500cc car.

Money saved from needing to frequent refueling is kept in various investment drivers eg asb, th, Money market funds, etc.

Let the dividends compound yearly. Later that money can be used to replace hybrid battery after 9-11 years of ownership should it breakdown

Hybrid > all
Honda > al

Exactly

As for hybrid battery, mine still retaining about 80% state of charge / capacity compared to when it's new. Already aproaching 12 years old. I don't think it will need a new battery pack within 3-5 years.

Same like any electric car too

Heat is the enemy and remember to clean filters

Usually last 10years-?15yr depend where u park
, use, maintain the filter .

Got warrenty ma . Honda 8 year? Just sell after that haha

Top up get Byd atto3 full elektrikk moh shiok

Toyota or Honda hybrid no need think bro. Just buy no ragrets

8 years warranty. After that if need to change battery also around 6k i think


As usual, top up sikit buy Honda Civic RS ehev terus

i heard,.. hybrid cannot jump start the car like normal car,.. it'll fried the electronics,.. izit true ??

My hybrid now 1 tank RM60 ~ 680km

Why hybrid need to be jumpstart?

The 400v battery behind there replace ur typical 12v
The 12v battery is to power lights, speaker, the display system etc

And theres no alternator ady yo, cuz ur hybrid motor is the alternator
