Yours is low-spec turbo RS or flagship e:hev RS?

Jokes aside. Congrats. Just follow the vehicle delivery form by SA and check it thoroughly. Enjoy your ride.

i suggest open the bonnet and check the engine bay, such as any rusty/loose part ... and also check every corner of your car for any abnormally, if tinted, check is the tinted fit nicely without any scratch.

silver, i booked it at the end of May, they told me at that time it would be 4 to 6 months, so now ultimately it would be 2.5 months. it may be because i know this SA who apparently have very good connections or something. he managed to assign me a car earlier.

yea they are all turbo variant - E, V and RS, just the hybrid version is not but on a bigger engine - but the SA told me hybrid version overall have more power, i didn't go in the details with him. am actually a noob in all this specs. i just needed a new car since my last car started to have issues and i sold it off.

Haha no need to be sorry. But I’m sure can ask around easily on forums. At the end of day I believe shouldn’t be too different across banks since it depends mostly on your credit rating/score

Wow.. U bought and driven few cars but never knew what is nvh?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise,_vibrat...,_and_harshness

Try seat & drive in a Lexus and go back drive your ride you will know what is nvh difference.

BTW, do check for the famous A/C water leaking or rubber seal water leak. Seen many complains about the water leakage in cabin area with this new model.

definitely feels fun to drive, there's 3 different mode you can toggle with, sports, normal and econ. the pick up was good in sports mode, can feel the vroom - of course can't compare to other more powerful engines but it was fun nonetheless, normal mode i guess it's the usual average, the econ was quite weak haha, can't floor the damn thing - i guess that's why it's called econ.
the handling is very smooth, grip felt great too. In terms of nvh, haven't gone fast enough yet to really feel it, but so far i'm satisfied since i came from driving an Insight to this - better than Honda City that i've ridden in

i'm not a crazy car guy so not sure what else to say, overall just enjoying the new ride, will take it for a drive down to SG soon so that will hopefully be a good experience.

some pictures to share
