True bro. I have been thinking if I should get my floorboard soundproofed or make it thicker. As per mentioned in previous thread, I can significantly feel water splashing onto the floorboard...

No 6 airbags, no traction control no buy. How many airbags Vezel have?
Vezel has 6 airbags I think. Or 8...

Hello, did anyone notice there's many 2nd hand Vezel in the market? Is there's any catch buying them?
�
are they really second hand or are they actually PIs selling their new cars in used car section just to catch people's eyeballs?
�
they may well do it since the price of a new vezel can be close to a used CUV in its category.�

I don't think they are 2nd hand If you look at the mileage..

The PI need to 'advertise' their cars mah. They can't do it in the new car section cos they can't post pictures. So they do it in the used car section lor. They used it to state whatever offer they have. You noticed the price is set according to the current COE level. They also use this to entice customers to call & go down to view cars. All PIs do it, so they don't think it's anything wrong

yeah, i don't think there's anything wrong with it too. i myself was made aware of the vezel through the used car section.

just answering a bro's query on why so many supposed second hand units :)
Will be changing my Honda Jazz 1.3 which left 1 year to this Vezel S model new facelift:
�
1) Addition of 4WD models.
2) Additional of�"amplitude-sensitive damper" to increase both comfort and handling stability vehicle,
3)�"IR cut / UV cut treatment of windows"
4)�"plasma cluster technology equipped with full auto air conditioner."
5) Lower and stable suspension�
�
My PI has informed me whether to get current old stock which do not need to wait or have to wait till August for the new facelift...
�
Well, I hope the new facelift Honda Vezel S model will be a worth to wait for 3-4 months� ![[sunny]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tYXyFJGsjM59FDcBf1_NYv1pR7exYA9LOYp5DygQOW3gfTZzhFrjuXwFevfCpV6VZcaQHbSfTQB0yi9LrFBC2Kbl8uBd0Dj0XKWQk5fseOmUywlRtuAeakBBwUuTuh2QmeYRYz=s0-d)

When you buy cars must discuss with buyers..not PI..PI will prime you up to buy from them, especially those who speak very fluent and keep saying trust me trust me, but nothing written on paper. As for facelift or current, depends on many things.
�
The biggest issue about facelift we have yet to confirm is, whether is justifies a higher price, and whether the uv-cut windows can pass LTA tests...if cannot, must replace. Some dealers, replace and send to test, then replace original back for you. This is also dishonest.�
I suspect those car are their display unit.
�
if really display unit, I dun mind... since the PIs usually dun allow ppl to test drive... maybe just sit inside only...
�
but it's more of to lure u in & tell u that �h, that unit sold off liaoz... but we got new units here, more more worthwhile"...

If it is posted on used car Vezel, you will be 2nd owner. Why be 2nd owner when you can be 1st and the price is not far.........
Anyone bought Vezel from Hua Yang? Cos didnt see HY on the list.....

You still don't get it after so many post pointing out the tricks, when you go down, the unit Sold off liao, but they do have a new unit available.. get the drift?...Hehehe...
HRV's SOHC engine seems under powered compared to Jazz DOHC
�
What if you drive to Malaysia and can't call AA?
�
I'm praying that it won't happen to me... So far nth happen. If driving in Malaysia, i always keep to the lane with the most cars, avoid kerb side and any portholes as much as possible. Keep a distance from the front car so i can scan the road for hazards. To me having a spare is just as useless, coz likely it will also be flat, due to the non maintenance and the rubber will degrade and crack overtime, unless one replace the spare every 3 to 4 years with a new set.

Altis insulation also noisy too...but Vezel one acceptable still

Vezel is sufficient to hold 5 adults comfortably .

Bro...PM me if u keen to know my PI dealer. He is honest and no gimmicks type.
Pm me bro on ur dealer contacts..thanks
There's no spare tyre for Vezel? Somehow don't feel 'safe ' having no spare tyre. Otherwise love the look of Vezel.
Buy a spare and put in the boot..mayb can get a donut..no need full size..or smaller size also can..the whole idea is to allow u to drive safely to the next available tyre repair place

Agreed. I used to put in a spare myself for those rides without spare and I have never used it at all. Think better to learn how to use the repair kit may be better instead.

You can remove the styrofoam-alike box behind which contains the repair kit and put in your spare tyre. The only concern i have is the EDLC unit that's found in the same compartment.

Good for you. I have been driving for the past 30 years and I had to make use of the spare tyre in the lifetime of each car I own. Nothing beats having the peace of mind especially in an unfamiliar place.
�
Anyone has any experience of using the repair kit?
saw a silver Kah Motor HRV on the road this morning - Toa Payoh area - �not convenient to take a photo of the car. guess, we'll see more on the roads as days go by

I had 2 punctured on my vios. Last year was along the expressway, called lta and they changed the spare tyre on the spot for me. Before calling LTA I had tried the punctured repair kit but it doesn't work. I believe I noticed the punctured late and had drive a slightly longer distance cause the side to be badly damaged.
Second time was this year at a carpark, changed myself and drove to nearby workshop. I still think that spare tyre will be useful.

hi guys,
what is the ideal pressure u guys pump to the front and back tyres of the Vezel?
�
lol. no one pumped tires yet?
�
The reason why i asked is i thought the optimal pressure is 220.
�
I tried pumping that day, and realised all my tires are pumped to 280. Both front and back.
Haha. was a little bit surprised, wonder if 280 is meant for SUV instead?

�
In my opinion, 280 is somewhat high.... however, what is optimal?
�
I think it will range from 200 to 240kPA.�This may draw some comments from other users but end day its the driver and their passengers to decide... At this range of 200 to 240kPA, you be certain it would not result in any premature damage to your vehicle nor your tyre :)

�
This has also been discussed in the fb group...people have been deflating their tires to around 230/220 or 220/210 for a more compliant ride...there have been reports of PIs delivering the car with tires pumped to >300kPa!

Follow the guide which is by the side of the driver door sill and you wont be wrong. 200-230 is the usual range. Probably the same for Vezel I guess.

Must find out if the EDLC module is even working for non-hybrid Vezel. If not in use, might as well remove and out in a spare tyre.
�
Scali is meant for hybrid only, and the petrol is stripped version of hybrid version but EDLC module not removed.
�
Would prefer spare tyre anyday know that you cant fill a tyre with the repair kit when the rubber is cut or burst.

Green is only available for Hybrid, for now. There's only one on the road now, and 2 probably by this month. One is under Rationalexuberance & the other on the way is mine :)
Anyone has lobang on car wrap? But just doing the front door handles lol...

�
I see... thanks for clarifying!
�
My personal take is that the Vezel requires a colour that brings out its profile contours... green and blue do it well. The orange shown on the prototype is good, too...
�
For all my cars which came with a spare, i removed it and left it in my backyard.Agreed. I used to put in a spare myself for those rides without spare and I have never used it at all. Think better to learn how to use the repair kit may be better instead.

So you put a spare tyre for your current vezel baby?
How to hold it down to preventing it from moving?
Thanks.

The biggest issue about facelift we have yet to confirm is, whether is justifies a higher price, and whether the uv-cut windows can pass LTA tests...if cannot, must replace. Some dealers, replace and send to test, then replace original back for you. This is also dishonest. For answers, join us un the fb grp and let's

https://www.facebook...p_comment_reply
The improved vezel rear side window won't pass LTA cos only transmit 17% light. No choice gotta change loh.
Referring to the normal petrol models, not the hybrid ones.
am exploring to take on a Vezel. first saw the HRV model at Kah but not very impressed with Made in Thailand and previous gen engine.�
�
own 3 cars before but never bought from PIs before so the apprehensive is certainly there. So couple of question here if you wish to entertain.
�
1. PIs and warranty. Will it cover car recalls due to manufacturer's fault? In terms of workshops, can we use our own or must stick to stipulated ones by the PIs? Also, touchwood what happen when PIs folded...
�
2. Vezel features. Lotsa variants from G to X to S. does the "X" from one PIs differ from another? or are they the same? noticed from the discussion that some "S" model are missing the audio controller on the steering wheel and such.
�
3. Vezel concerns. noticed folks in Honda Vezel/HRV fb page taking about CBTA issue. When CBTA kick in to stop the car, what is actually happening? Engine get killed? or simply Brake activated to prevent car from moving? from the discussion i have read so far, it seems to "kill" the engine. is that good long term?
�
4. Auto Hold. Currently driving Golf. In eco mode, when car come to complete stop at junction, the car kill the engine to zero rev and also reduce the aircon. Upon accelerating, the car will come back to life with a jutter. Have test drove a Mazda 3 which do not have that issue due to "i-loop". How is the Vezel's implementation on the auto hold?
�
5. CO2 emission, noticed that "S" model has a higher CO2 emission. How is that so when the car has the same engine and power? the emission effectively put it under a difference class under LTA's new CO2 emission?
�
apologies for the tons of question since there's no test drive available for Vezel. W
I will try to answer those I can cos I haven't taken delivery of my car lol.
1. All variants are the same across all PI. The steering wheel audio is not factory fitted but since the demand is super high so most PI throw in that. The steering wheel control is only factory fitted to vezel with the navigation package which Is totally useless here.
2. The brake hold is a function whereby u can lift ur foot off the brake pedal and the car won't crawl forward. Just step on accelerator to move off.
3. S model is heavier than other variant bcos of extra equipment tho engine same. Also it rides on bigger tyre so fuel economy suffer a bit.

Bro,

I will try to answer Q3. Firstly, when CTBA is activated, it would not kill the engine rightaway. There will be continuous beeping sound, followed by loud "kung kung kung" sound to tell you that your car is in imminent danger of knocking into something at the front. If you back off the accelerated, the sounds will go away. If you ignore the sound, CTBA will cut off the engine and the car will stop on the spot. Most people would avoid getting into this situation and hence we should not be concern with long term wear and tear due to frequent activation. Any driver ought to review his/her driving pattern if this situation is a norm. Personally, I think this is a useful feature; although sometimes I think it is "too" smart.

I will try to answer Q3. Firstly, when CTBA is activated, it would not kill the engine rightaway.

ah.. great to hear from Vezel drivers. will take note of that!

wonder if this "shop" is reliable... so far, seems like most are getting from Leco Prestige, AutoLink, Vincar and such...
I didnt. Reason being the edlc unit is there. Even for my past cars i did not hold it down if there is no locking mechanism. I just stuff the sides and bottom with ragsSo you put a spare tyre for your current vezel baby?
How to hold it down to preventing it from moving?
Thanks.
Agreed. The only times i feel got to be careful is when you are on a slope and there is a gantry. Got a few times i was too impatient and tried to drive off when the gantry isnt fully up, and ctba kicks in, and my car slided back.�

am exploring to take on a Vezel. first saw the HRV model at Kah but not very impressed with Made in Thailand and previous gen engine.�
�
own 3 cars before but never bought from PIs before so the apprehensive is certainly there. So couple of question here if you wish to entertain.
�
1. PIs and warranty. Will it cover car recalls due to manufacturer's fault? In terms of workshops, can we use our own or must stick to stipulated ones by the PIs? Also, touchwood what happen when PIs folded...
�
2. Vezel features. Lotsa variants from G to X to S. does the "X" from one PIs differ from another? or are they the same? noticed from the discussion that some "S" model are missing the audio controller on the steering wheel and such.
�
3. Vezel concerns. noticed folks in Honda Vezel/HRV fb page taking about CBTA issue. When CBTA kick in to stop the car, what is actually happening? Engine get killed? or simply Brake activated to prevent car from moving? from the discussion i have read so far, it seems to "kill" the engine. is that good long term?
�
4. Auto Hold. Currently driving Golf. In eco mode, when car come to complete stop at junction, the car kill the engine to zero rev and also reduce the aircon. Upon accelerating, the car will come back to life with a jutter. Have test drove a Mazda 3 which do not have that issue due to "i-loop". How is the Vezel's implementation on the auto hold?
�
5. CO2 emission, noticed that "S" model has a higher CO2 emission. How is that so when the car has the same engine and power? the emission effectively put it under a difference class under LTA's new CO2 emission?
�
apologies for the tons of question since there's no test drive available for Vezel. W
For the eng start stop feature, honda starts up is less jerky than mazda i feel. That is one of the reason i chose vezel over mazda.
The improved vezel rear side window won't pass LTA cos only transmit 17% light. No choice gotta change loh.
�
Could you share the source? Quite sian if have to change all the windows.
�
Based on Honda website, the improved UV cut glass is for the front...shouldn't the rear windows be similar to the current variant? I know some S and Hybrid rear windows need to change, hope X models can be kept as stock as possible. �
�
Enhancement of comfortable equipment
Good job. Lol. Even if i leave it there i also will forget to pump.
Bro same here lol!!!

the "kung kung kung"sound comes from the CTBA function braking the wheels for you intermittently, it's like a gentler version of ABS braking at low speeds. CTBA also renders your acceleration useless, no acceleration signal transmitted to engine when it detects an object close by.

fully agree. test drove mazda, felt the start stop function..not sure it is anything to do with the damping of the engine

very hard to comment on PIs, cos very subjective. Good reliable & honest ones, but their deals will change according to their near term business needs, exposure to risks, and their take on industry momentum which dictates their strategy deployed. From pricing strategy you can deduce somewhat the position they r in, whether hungry for sales or not at the moment.
�
talk to some of the active ones in fb group, loads of info..i also make a lot of noise in the grp, fun!!
�please join the�authentic one with over 1500 members, created by buyers for buyers, no fake sponsors and hidden agenda!! I like!!
�
Cheers!!
�
lol. no one pumped tires yet?
�
The reason why i asked is i thought the optimal pressure is 220.
�
I tried pumping that day, and realised all my tires are pumped to 280. Both front and back.
Haha. was a little bit surprised, wonder if 280 is meant for SUV instead?
�
�
really depends on what tyres you put on.
�
a universal 220 recommendation for all tyres is e most na�ve info any mechanic wud give
Does 1500 members equate 1500 vezel owners????�

yea, already there and making noise, but since moderator want us to KISS there, i gather my long winded questions here might be more appropriate. lol.
�
at the moment, event the hybrid model is in consideration but Cat B.... mmm... that's another story lo.
�
shortlisted a couple of ride and kinda narrowed down to Vezel due to it's value for money. As mentioned, since there's no test drive, it's hard to "appreciate" the features and what they actually do. Hence seeking clarifications here.
�
From Getz, to Jazz , to Golf and now perhaps Vezel? one of the thing for my choice is definitely FC. Coz I can be pretty hard footed at times when i need to overtake. For size comparison, Vezel shares the same engine as current Jazz RS. So need to manage expectation when it come to power for overtaking.
�
Love my Golf but kinda time for me to go for a more spacious ride in view of expanding family... haha
Actually the silver one looks good...now sort of regretted did not choose silver over white. Hahah. Esp when white is so common...
�
Bro,
�
Fret not, I always feel that white car looks bigger. Try for yourself and see the difference.

True..that's what i thought also. Though must really park beside a silver one and see the difference. Worse come worse go do pearl white matt layering later down the road...
I think most bros here by now that Kah Motor is offering the HR-V officially now, but none of their trims come with the nice LED headlamps or even the LED tail lamps...
Anyone think it's possible to retrofit the original LED headlamps that we can get on Vezels to the official HR-V?

I am sure it prob can bro. But these are just aesthetic differences. The highlight is the engine diff and the added features of ctba and eng cut off, which probably cannot be retrofitted. Not to mention the heftier price tag.
�
Well given the vast difference in equipment list, you will need to install the side and curtains airbags and knew airbags too.
�
And all the interior LED lights, auto engine stop... the $$ and time you spend, plus the already higher price you've paid for the HRV....well I don't know what to say LOL
�
Anyway I don't think its legal to just install the airbags like that...
The improved vezel rear side window won't pass LTA cos only transmit 17% light. No choice gotta change loh.
�
the rear windows are L2 or L3 (cannot remember)�on the current X model now. perhaps some bros/sis can check out the markings on their baby and let us know. it is printed at the lower corner of the window.
�
The new improved version will have a darker rear passenger and "boot" window. So what a PI told me "honestly" is that they will replace with cina "clear" windows and the most they can do is to put up�solar flims there. Some PI which offers a lower price for the new improved version will exclude this solar film. But i think the real problem is that the�cina windows tend to be "wavy"�if viewed from an angle against the florecent lights in the showroom and also solar flims no matter which atas brand (3M,VKool etc)�cannot be compared to a tinted window as it degardes overtime.
�
So if i want to avoid the above,�there seems to be 2 solutions. Short term is to ask PI to put back the original "failed" windows and change them out during the 3rd year inspection and subsequently change again every 2 years for the inspection. Troublesome�and probably costly as well.�Long term solution is to�buy the current X model window and retrofit those back into the new improved X version. Anyone knows if the current X window can be purchased as spares?

Did a count from this list. Seems like Hup Long / Autolink / Leco Prestige�/ Cartimes�has the highest delivery numbers�(in order from high to low)�till date. But there are some�booked entries without any info on who the PI is.�
�
Any comments about Jackcars or Vincars? These guys are fairly reputable as well correct since i do see some of their cars on the road...
�
oh! I thought 220 is a standard to have.
�
But 280 for all the tyres from PI is a bit... high? Or am I wrong? lol.
kinda surprised to see 280....�
�
from what I heard, the higher, the better for fuel consumption, but more wear and tear, and a bit less control on the road, so not as safe. not an expert on this though
�
the rear windows are L2 or L3 (cannot remember)�on the current X model now. perhaps some bros/sis can check out the markings on their baby and let us know. it is printed at the lower corner of the window.

Or... you can buy the window panes from KM and install them. At least the parts will be original parts from Thailand and they will be significantly better in quality than those kukoo Cheena brandless thingy....
Any kind bro know where to install side-step?
Fixed on (with screws/bolts) or welded?
Damage?

Hi, just like to check the following regarding the Vezel:

1. Hydraulic or Electric power steering?
2. Aircon air filter supplied originally?
3. L15B engine uses 4 or 8 spark plugs?
4. is the accelerator DBW or the conventional cable pull system?

I really feel that the new facelift has minimal differences. So just buy the current X model...

I expect both of these is electric... but probably someone can confirm.
I don't mind the current X, just that my ride expires next Feb so I thought I'll hang on for a while to see if prices go south. Anyway, no one seems to have stock of current X anymore for delivery b4Jul. Any new stock the PI orders now would be the improved version.I really feel that the new facelift has minimal differences.

Bro, u driving the vezel already? There should be some markings done by Honda at the bottom closer to the rear. Markings are black so might not be visible easily on the already dark tinted windows. The spec is indicated on the 2nd row if I remember right. But it's not a standalone "L2" or "2L" etc. there are some more characters prior to this code.
Then again, I might just sneak over to my neighboring carpark later this evening to spy on the white vezel there. Just hope the owner won't call the police on me if he/she sees me looking closely into the window. =)

I got mine from vincars at $112.9k in April - straightforward SE and no mambo jumbo. Got my COE on the first bid. Peace of mind from a reputable PI and I think the price is fair.
I don't mind the current X, just that my ride expires next Feb so I thought I'll hang on for a while to see if prices go south. Anyway, no one seems to have stock of current X anymore for delivery b4Jul. Any new stock the PI orders now would be the improved version.

Not an expert in this, but wouldn't LTA be checking the car also during the inspection for carbon emission etc?

That is a very good price and a high COE bro. Congrats!

Congrats bro! Good stuff. I think you got a very good price.

One of the reasons why i shortlisted Vincar is the sales is not pushy�and sincere,�before today's COE, the price was 113++ for delivery after Jul�with limited accessories and the car will�be delivered as is. i.e. no fancy solar films�
Bro, u driving the vezel already? There should be some markings done by Honda at the bottom closer to the rear. Markings are black so might not be visible easily on the already dark tinted windows. The spec is indicated on the 2nd row if I remember right. But it's not a standalone "L2" or "2L" etc. there are some more characters prior to this code.
Then again, I might just sneak over to my neighboring carpark later this evening to spy on the white vezel there. Just hope the owner won't call the police on me if he/she sees me looking closely into the window. =)
�
I saw some markings, I believe this is not the marking for the solar film but for the glass�and cannot find any other marking on the film.

Report in BT today
A small, cool SUV from Honda has powered past the traditional Toyota model to claim the mantle as Singapore's most popular parallel import (PI) model as the total PI market boomed on an expanding COE quota.
In the first three months of 2015, 380 units of the Honda Vezel were registered collectively by parallel importers across Singapore (see table). The Vezel is a Japanese domestic model, the first of which was registered here last June.
On the other hand, the car sold by authorised Honda importer Kah Motor is the HR-V, of which none was registered in the first quarter of 2015 as it was launched here only in mid-April.
In recent years, Toyota models have occupied the top three spots, usually with the Estima, Alphard or Vellfire, and Harrier in that order.
But the attractive styling and price of the cheaper Vezel has been popular with replacement buyers returning to the market over the last half year.
The Toyota Harrier is now the runner-up with 338 units registered, after having ended 2014 in third place. The Vellfire is third among the Toyota models with 48 units, while none of its mechanically identical twin, the plain-looking Alphard, were registered by parallel importers in the first quarter. This is because the new-generation Alphard and Vellfire are already here and undergoing homologation. The first units are expected to be registered only later this month.
Overall though, the Toyota brand is still the top PI brand, with 580 cars registered (see table).
Honda is the second most popular brand with 432 units. Last year�s No 3 has swopped places with Mercedes-Benz, which has garnered 103 grey imports.
A total of 1,169 PI cars were registered from January to March 2015, or an eye-popping 189 per cent increase from the same period a year ago.
Only 404 parallel imported cars were registered in the first three months of 2014, in a reflection of the tighter COE supply this time last year.
The increasing number of COEs being released resulted in a total of 10,364 new cars registered across the industry in the first three months of the year, or up 73.8 per cent increase from the corresponding period a year ago.
This means that the year-to-date share of the PI market is 11.3 per cent, or a big jump from the 6.7 per cent in the whole of 2014.

hi guys, great thread! read through all pages in 2wks..
�
anyway have placed an order for the vezel.
�
my current car is a vios, coe expiring this july.
�
PI says will give me ~ $200+ for the car.
(seriously?! that's peanuts.)
this is apart from the parf rebate.
�
anyone knows how to extract max value out of the expiring car?
Hi there
I am Francis Goh.
I bought my Maroon X model on 23/03/2015 from Swee Seng Motors.
I just went for 1000K servicing.
The workshop recommended use of RON 98 petrol in stead of RON 95.
THey said can improve mileage by about 60KM, and calculated to be about the same costs,
& saves some of the engine parts from damages.
Any advice?

Maybe I am also more sensitive, but with ron95, with load (upslope or etc) at light throttle, I can pick up some pinging.
Cars are supposed to enhance lifestyle so use the fuel grade that allows you to further appreciate this cash sucking machine :)
Actually its not the Ron but mon. Go according to manufacture guide is still 95ron gasoline.. Other specs impact on rhe milage like density etc.. In general, 98 ron is indeed denser thus high milage.. ;-)
Is it really denser?
True to some sense. I never tried 98 but I tried vpower. Can feel quite a difference. Somehow you do not have to step on your throttle as hard and yet responsive. I am still sticking to 95, ever since the higher tax required for above ron95. To add on, somehow it didnt make any diff for my previous cars.Hi there

Thus choice of brand might be important in some countries.. Some gasoline are not directly from refineries but blended from components like napatha etc.. Some must be spike with additives like ron enhancing ones like mmt which is unstable.. Do exercise care when one pump whilst going up north.. :-)
Lab tests of 92/95/98 etc by sgs/Its shows higher ron gasoline are indeed denser. Thus slightly higher calorific value n milage.. There are other specs beside ron that influence quality of gasoline n driveability like olefins etc..

Its true most Honda engines works better with 98 octane gas. Even my good old FD1 gets noticeable better mileage and quieter engine and slightly better power with Caltex 98 vs Caltex 95. And Caltex Techron is considered the 'ideal' gasoline brand for Honda engines in SG.
�
Yes FD1 can run on 91 octane onwards, but you really lose a lot of power and poor fuel economy if u use 92 octane in SG.
�
I'd like to think its the additives (or the lack of it for lower end options)�these petroleum companies adds to their fuel stocks that made all the difference. Octane alone shouldn't be the sole factor.
However to many drivers and not so technically inclined, it becomes a strain for them to decipher what are these additives/chemicals. These may not be readily published or made available to the end user, thus generalizing experience with fuel brand and Ron maybe most appropriate for most.
For the techie, keep this going :)
Chipping in my 2 cents ;)
�
For my previous ride (Honda), i cannot honestly feel a difference b/w RON95 and RON98.
For my current ride, can't feel a difference b/w RON98 and VPower (from JB).
For both of these cars, what makes a noticeable difference is the engine oil used. The decision to use a particular brand of fuel (SPC) is based on practical reasons like credit card discounts, distance of petrol kiosk to my home.

A wake up call for Kah and all ADs. Wake up your freaking idea.

Actually cannot totally blame them. Honda HQ would never have allowed an authorised dealer to take stock from Japan, or else their production capacity in South East Asia would be totally wasted.
�
And If all that Thailand produces is the low spec and older tech HR-V, what can Kah Motors do? The same applies to Borneo as well. When PIs were selling the Wish with Valvematic engines, Borneo was still selling Dual VVT-i.
�
Being an AD is sometimes like a pawn, being moved around by HQ to fight a losing battle.

Regular in Japan is fuel with at least 89 RON. Premium is 96 RON and above.
According to the guy at the workshop, some engine parts will not last after 4th year, if we keep using RON 95 or below. Also, the could be improved mileage if we use RON 98.
I have just pumped RON98 (I last pumped RON95)... It costs me about $0.20 more per litre.
WHen I used RON95, it clocked 440KM (38L +)...
I always pump when there was still 1 bar on the petrol indicator.
Filling up a full tank from there would be 38Litres +
I will monitor the fuel comsumption.
