    Vezel is too common. More like Comfort Cab now as they can be easily spotted everywher anytime, why spend thousand K on something that look nothing special. 1.5L no power to accelerate, look big outside but intetrior space is like Jazz. Dissapointing Haiz


    Haha, you are right, vezel is just a b&b car, who cares if it is common or not.
    Only $111k, use for 10 yrs , bum around, who cares about power to accelerate etc...
    I have my 911 for that.

    The interior is fabulously big though.

    Mass market car , how special you want? Muayhahhahaha

    Let me be very frank here.....such a write up is totally unconstructive and is tendamount to "noise" from an empty can. Everyone has their right to comment either positive or negative but what sets "noise" apart from value is to counter negativity with recommendations or constructive inputs.

    I am prepared for brickbats ;)

    Yeah, value for money definitely.

    Just my opinion, not here to impress Vezel owner. So be it :)

    In the end I chose not to settle for a Vezel, but here are some of my thoughts.

    • Too common for my taste now, I will say that outright.
    • The performance sounds like a letdown.
    • I dislike the front end.
    • I like the rear end and profile however.
    • Have had a few conflicting stories about its comfort level. No comment, have not driven or sat in one.
    • Interior design is not a place I cannot stand, but it is too "conflicted" in my opinion. Clashing shapes and lack of coherence.
    • Based on Jazz, it is actually quite impressively practical and spacious, but not as dramatically so as the donor of the platform.
    • Price (at least up to now) is quite good.
    • Technology-wise it doesn't really have much to brag about though.
    • Being made by Honda in Japan, it definitely sounds like a reliably well-put together option.

    If I must be honest, Vezel is not the kind of car I want. But it is arguably the "safest choice". I wouldn't go for it much myself, but it is easily one of the most practical choices I can think of. Economical, well-priced, family-sized, reliable (?), easy to service (almost any workshop will handle a Vezel now, I should think.).

    People who are victimized by those unscrupulous, unethical and perpetually telling lies car PIs/dealers should make report to CASE or authority to stamp them out and bring justice to the consumers. By doing so we can then prevent innocent buyers from the long, tormented process which ended up with no cars or financially loss or both.

    Each one will have their own likes and dislikes.

    Qashqai was also one of my considerations as i posted much earlier.
    After a few weeks of looking around, i made the decision.
    A similar one to many folks here and to car reviewers worldwide.

    For Qashqai, other than an arguably more upmarket exterior design and the fact that it is from AD, it lost out in almost every other department including performance.

    The Vezel interior is imo the best for the comparative price of the car.

    Does this mean there is no better car in its category?
    Of course not! But for a dollar to dollar comparison, the Vezel is the best in SG.
    Exactly what i need for replacing a thrash around B&B car.

    Mine is black on brown full leather (not half leather)
    well technically, it will belong to my ex gf, not me.
    I am just in charge of signing checks.

    Was driving a Subaru WRX (Auto) before the Vezel..

    Mostly city driving....can be 6 to 7kml..... If 100 percent highway, best was 8.75kml....My friend same car can do better but maybe its the way i drive. hehe

    Just returned from subaru TPY.

    The Forester priced at $120k Gtd COE quite tempting ...& can also try to ask for 5 years / 100k free servicing . Only thing bad is FC cos 4WD


    heard that the qashqai quieter ride and less crashy ride than the Vezel though.

    Subaru famous for low FC trade off for performance

    Maybe suitable for those with low mileage like my wife just use to pick up children & weekend use.

    But $120K really tempting price for a SUV, looks really good to me quite huge car

    Qashqai is generally said to be the more comfortable car with the stronger engine here (1.2 turbo), but the Vezel is said to have a more communicative steering wheel.

    mine is in a different sort of category altogether. :mellow:

    The Vezel is a very interesting car. Outside the dimension is smaller than say an Altis or a k3. But the space inside is enormous.

    When I drive I feel a little scare at times when I need to squeeze as I cant see over the side doors as much as a regular sedan.

    Colleague saw my rear leg room and were shocked, Yesterday reset my odometer and make my 20km plus trip in clear traffic from airport to AMK.... woohoo...on board average shows 23kml when I completed my journey.

    In 30 percent highway, 70 percent city driving though, it will drop to about 14kml to 15kml.

    BTW, I heard its only 126k for Forester 2.0 XT. Cheap for�a turbo real SUV!

    I can feel your happiness with your Vezel...envy.....but u know abt my situation stuck with AD so i cant do nuts now.

    Have been looking at Vezel but the price $110k seem to be high despite falling COE thats why i looking at Forester now.

    Too bad Forester cannot switch from 4WD to 2WD option otherwise it will be really competitive

    Price a bit high considering COE has fallen indeed. They blame it on exchange rate not sure how true.

    My friend tested the forester XT. Told me it's bumpy....I find strange since its on 4 wheel independent suspension. U got test drive yet?

    Thats ok lah, its not going to be noisier nor less comfortable than my car.
    My car is loud inside the cabin, feels every bit of the road and has stiff suspension it hurts my old bones.
    Moreover, i gotta be copareful when i reverse park, in cas ethe curb hits my undercarraige.
    So cant complain.

    If i wanted quiet and comfort and smoothness, i would be buying another Mercedes.
    I wanted low price yet best in class. And in that category nothing beats the Vezel for now

    Yup, i tested it on Sat but drove quite slowly so cant feel any bumpiness cause i have never drove such a huge car before

    All i can say is the car was huge & very quiet. Simple interior but acceptable for the price

    Still aiming the Vezel for my own running around because i work outdoors with high mileage

    Hi there all Vezel owners & would be Vezel owners

    We have been comparing PIs & prices in this thread.�

    Should we also take note of the workshops offered when we choose the PI?

    I have no experience in buying from PI but I had pleasant experience from AD servicing as my car lasted me a solid nine yrs without problems.

    Also I really quite scared of workshops chut pattern when it comes to warranty claim because PI only pay them $1500 for warranty I heard

    Pls advise

    I prefer to buy from AD, although it MIT

    Currently, KM has no stock have to wait till dec

    Btw, apart from MIT vs MIJ. I hope you know the spec and performance between HRV & Vezel is different?

    I'm asking because my cousin's classmate is in KM and he mentioned that 9 out of 10 HRV buyers thought the spec and technology is the same between HRV & Vezel, many do not know it's actually DOHC(Vezel) vs SOHC(HRV).

    Depend on the film. Possible to use those kinds of film that have very VLT reduction with UV rejection. As long as VLT meets standards required, film on tinted glass is acceptable.

    Does the Vezel non hybrid share the same CVT gearbox as the HRV? I know that the Vezel's engine is DOHC Earthdream L15B engine but no info on the CVT gearbox. Kah motors has stated the HRV gearbox as EarthDream CVT.

    I am not a fan of CVT but the Vezel's CVT gearbox felt more responsive then any other CVT gearbox that i have tried.

    Hybrid uses a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission imaginatively named the 7DCT, which is quite obviously not the same as the CVT transmission utilized by the HR-V or gasoline Vezel.

    EarthDreams doesn't seem to be particularly used much by the Japanese marketing side, but I would expect the HR-V and Vezel CVT to be very similar.

    if purely based on "technology" comparison

    SOHC - is more suitable for city start-stop driving (better low-end power)

    DOHC - is more suitable for long haul driving (better high-end power)

    can google for more info about SOHC vs DOHC

    however, if purely based on "mindset" comparison ...

    everyone wants DOHC because "dual" is definitely better than "single" in whatever ways

    To get shorten the waiting time, you have to pay premium for it or you can go for the "S" Version, Hybrid version which got lesser buyers.

    So, for city driving in SG.... SOHC seems to be more suitable...am I correct?
    Unless for those that always go choinging in Malaysia frequently.

    actually, my 1st question is are you comfortable with PI and can you deal with PI?

    if no ... please get a HRV from AD and save the headeache

    if yes, then can consider Vezel

    power-wise is subjective ... and ... Vezel/HRV is not a powerful car to begin with ...

    value-for-money and after-sales-support is more critical

    whether is SOHC or DOHC, the car will move from point A to B safely

    So, for city driving in SG.... SOHC seems to be more suitable...am I correct?
    Unless for those that always go choinging in Malaysia frequently.

    I'm asking because my cousin's classmate is in KM and he mentioned that 9 out of 10 HRV buyers thought the spec and technology is the same between HRV & Vezel, many do not know it's actually DOHC(Vezel) vs SOHC(HRV).

    :TT_TT:� I am one of the 9 HRV buyer that do not know the difference

    �I have been with KM�for the past 6 yrs,

    �I enjoy the fuss free�R&M with�KM

    �my 2 Honda rides never have any issues,

    �seriously I "never" check my oil level, battery ... just trust KM

    �btw, I not working in KM.

    Interested in the vezel and checked out a few PIs recently, one of them told me there is no need to install solar film as the windows are already tinted with UV protection from Japan. Installing additional solar film may fail LTA inspection. Really?

    I added the solar firm... if u park in open carpark it is better to have it...

    actually, my 1st question is are you comfortable with PI and can you deal with PI?
    if no ... please get a HRV from AD and save the headeache
    if yes, then can consider Vezel
    power-wise is subjective ... and ... Vezel/HRV is not a powerful car to begin with ...
    value-for-money and after-sales-support is more critical
    whether is SOHC or DOHC, the car will move from point A to B safely


    Ok. Got it!

    To get shorten the waiting time, you have to pay premium for it or you can go for the "S" Version, Hybrid version which got lesser buyers.

    Agree, im the same type of person like u - �Hassle free style

    Really no time to check anything, just leave it to AD to sort it out.

    Specs wise, I cant feel the difference but HRV a little over priced thats all

    Bottom line is individual preference, some ppl go to AD for convenience

    I also have this kind of mentally, religiously service my car ONLY with AD. But my AD screwed up once for me and i went to outside workshop. Outside workshop maybe small compare to AD but are just as good or better. At least i wont get apprentice handling my car and screwing up.

    Spring
    I'm a Honda owner myself n have a Civic from Kah.

    Like most buyers who buy from AD, i'm willing to pay abit more for better support n peace of mind getting from AD. That said this Vezel has got me thinking twice.

    Normally it's the same car n u pay say $10k+ more for a Jap 1.6l car but for this Vezel v HRV, u not only pay the usual price diff but U get an inferior product on top of that. Not only DOHC but other significant differences makes it hard to stomach the extra cash forked out. For once, I will consider PI shld I intend to get this car. For a careful person like me this says a lot so hopefully Kah will take notice that a loyal customer like me is thinking of changing loyalties!

    warranty is 5 yr.

    It all depends on your luck, AD or outside workshop.

    My humble opinion

    AD

    Good-mechanics familiar with the car as they always service the same car day in & out,

    Bad-Service Advisor will tend try to sell parts unnecessarily for commision.

    Outside workshop

    Good-Slightly cheaper

    Bad-May not be able to diagnose when there is a problem, then become very troublesome

    They can also chop you with inferior parts if u you dunno anything abt cars

    Aiyah

    We dun win everyday, what abt those who paid $125K earlier on? If you gotta change car then bobian one.

    COE seem to be quite stable now...may drop a little in 2016 due to economic outlook.�

    The freebies not really fixed, depends on SE �wheter AD or PI

    Of course I agree Vezel is slightly cheaper & better than HRV.

    But It all depends on the buyer prefer AD or PI warranty & after sales service only.

    Now that the price difference not too big, some will swing to AD.

    Current HRV PREMIUM is $122,999
    Comes with 1 year road tax as compared to PI's normally 6 months?
    Interest rate at 1.88 compared to 2.28? For 5 year loan of about $73,000, Kah motor loan saves u $1,460 over 5 years.

    Current Vezel price is $110,000?
    Then with the above perks, HRV is still about 11k higher.

    Unless Kah motor can provide even more perks, it seems Vezel still is the way to go.
    I am a noob in dealing with PI. not sure if I should go for Vezel.
    How about old car trade in? If Kah motor can fetch in more than PI, then it gets even closer.
    I currently drive a 8 year old jazz and Kah motor taking in at 24k. Not sure how much the PI can take.
    Anyone can advise?

    I think $122 is old price. Read ot somewhere hrv is at $119 but i cant be certian.
    Yoou can ask them how much is the trade in. A couple of months they offerd $5k overtrade with 1.88% discount.
    If this still holds then at $114k it is definitely better to take from kah motor.
    Actually for a small engine and bhp, you probabaly can't feel the difference betweem vezel and hrv in day to day driving.

    $122,999 is the new price. In fact it is $128,999
    It's inclusive of $5k over trade discount and $1k Honda to Honda trade in.
    Both these 2 discounts, PI won't have. But still it is 11k difference.
    I am willing to take the small engine and bhp for better servicing, warranty, no frills deal. But 11k is too much i guess. Haiz. Dilemma.

    I forgot to mention OMV!

    Vezel price include CEVS rebate, which means the OMV for Vezel will be lower than HRV?

    So the price difference is even closer if OMV is factored in

    Anyone knows whats the OMV for these 2 models?

    Hi,

    basing on PI spec given, Vezel CO2 emission is 115g/KM, seems very much lower than that of HRV which is about 155. If someone could confirm this will be good.

    If Vezel's CO2 is really 115g/KM, then basing on LTA website� http://www.lta.gov.s...df-09077e101468�, the rebate is S$10K. that is to say that Vezel's ARF = S$18,278 - S$10,000 = S$ 8,278.

    Then the PARF will be only about 4K.

    So those who are comparing Vezel vs HRV , I like to add my thoughts among others�comments that have been mentioned in this thread...

    1. Despite the lower ARF($8k PI�vs $22k KM), the PIs are not passing the saving back to the consumers. �

    2. Considering scrap value of $4k of Vezel vs $ 11K of HRV, the depreciation of both models are almost the same. But not forgetting�HRV has agent warranty whereas Vezel has outside workshop wty.

    3. But Vezel is still a better spec car. even simple thing like headlights, vezel is LED whereas HRV is conventional halogen, letting alone made in Japan vs made in Thailand.

    Sorry to add more confusion but I hope to provide more complete info so that all could make a more informed decision.�

    So price is more or less same after considering the omv amd cevs.

    Warranty hrv win
    Country made vezel win
    Spec vezel win in terms of hp and led lights
    But the additional hp of 10bhp is actually not significant.
    Dohc vs sohc, can't feel the difference to be honest.

    Even if price was the same, i would probably do a Vezel instead of the HRV.
    The specs and manufacturing country is almost everything for a low end B&B car.

    118bhp and 129bhp is almost 10% difference
    SOHC vs a more performance oriented DOHC
    Confirm can feel the difference in the drive between the two especially at higher revs.

    Anyway, there is nothing to debate really, its one of the cheapest cars around.
    Just buy and thrash it for 10yrs, be it Vezel or HRV.

    The gap between HRV n Vezel is getting very small. As times goes it is going to be more difficult for buyers. But hopefully it benifits buyers so that PI price can't go up n AD keep price low.

    Your last post

    Interested in the vezel and checked out a few PIs recently, one of them told me there is no need to install�solar film�as the windows are already tinted with UV protection from Japan. Installing additional�solar film�may fail LTA inspection. Really?

    Want to compare the tyres used?

    Want to compare the starter motor and radiator from which factory or not?

    Come on lah, its just a bloody B&B car, can afford buy, cannot afford dont buy.
    If like agent, buy HRV, if like high specs buy PI.

    that one is someone else posted. as I said before, whether the glass is privacy tinted or not, it's okay to install solar film so long as the film does not reduce visible light transmission to the point where it does not meet LTA's requirements.

    e.g. if you install a clear film that rejects 75% UV and heat but does not affect VLT, it's still legal.

    It's just that it's arguably unnecessary when the glass itself is already tinted. Of course a film will improve the heat rejection more.

    Imho...xv is underpowered and plasticky for the interior. Qq may be better in terms of built.


    Qatar is a strong contender but xv is old school. Every light is halogen at this age of time. Interior design also very old school aka dial control ac. Direct copy and paste from Impreza. Vezel based on jazz yet Honda make an effort to differentiate them.

    Yes. Xv is really very basic imho. Actually if we were to compare just the omv, subaru's omv is a bit low.

    Initially I place my order with JXX but the delivery was supposed to be in July/August but was told it was delayed to Dec instead. Hence I cancelled my original deal and after talking to Car House, I placed my deposit. I placed my order during our National Day and as promised, got my car in Sept. As compared to my previous PI, Car House Rep keeps updating me the status of my car to curb my worries.

    I think it's precisely it's a B&B car that's why people compare like that.

    You have to understand some of the folks here are�financially borderline in terms of car ownership.

    If may be wiser for some of them�not to buy the car at all. That's why they squeezed more.

    The more financially sound ones are probably alreadyenjoying the rides or asked more relevant questions on maintenance and upkeeping.

    I also believe a huge bulk of them are first time owners and not sure what to expect (muahahaha!!)� So it evidently questions like�"whether SOHC or DOHC is more suitable in local roads" will appear.

    Not everyone treat this a 2nd car leh. Let's cut them some slack shall we.

    Anyway, for first time buyer and noobs, Mine advise: Go for AD, pay abit more knowing you can just drive the car into the service centre and collect it at the end of the day without worries. Pay abit more knowing that when shit happens, call the dealer for advise rather than hearing 10�advise from 10 different workshops. It's a 100k+ car for 10yrs, not a modded Nintendo Wii.

    Back then, we could use 110k to buy 2 altis or 2 Lancer, or 2 vios with almost 30k change back.

    Even a PI Camry then less than 100k.

    Yeah..the vezel is BNB, but it's ain't cheap. At this price, I can buy a AMG merz or M3 in other ccountries ....

    I remembered there was a time even a mazda 323 cost 120k.
    Downpayment was at least 30%.
    When they introduced 0 % Downpayment, anyone can buy a car. 2008/09 had the lowest coe.
    In fact the most part coe was above 40k

    Back then i could buy a 4000sft semi detach for $2mil.
    So best to keep in todays context.

    A B&B car is currently priced between $100k to $130k
    Accept it. Becos you and i contribute to its price

    Anyway the point is not too much About the money.
    The Vezel is commoditised by now so there is no need for us to be overly kiasu and compare everything.
    Prepare your finances well, get the color of your choice, enjoy it, use it.

    Dont be a slave to it, bottomline.
    Sorry , becos some of you really sound like you are
    perhaps reality is some of you cant truly afford a car.

    if anyones next post is about haolian etc... Plse save it
    I think we are way past that by now right?

    I know i am a rough man, not very high class and speak poorly sometimes.
    I dont mean to offend but more to stir thoughts for the better

    I just feel that we are better off in this thread talking more about experiences and sharing knowledge on the car.

    For example, from the owners, any issues so far?
    Mechanical problems? What to do?
    What shop is vezel friendly? What are the essential add ons
    Group buys on upgrades and mods. Also post more pics to share the subtlr differences in each others cars. Stuff like that.

    Agree with u. No offense taken.
    Stir some thoughts, pratical talk and sharing information.
    Not nitty gritty stuff. Some of the things i read here can be either amusing at best or downright boliao.
    Like u said, its a bnb car, why compare this compare that till the cow come home liao.

    Dun mind me saying and highlight that first, this is a PUBLIC OPEN forum. I dun think it is appropriate to suggest what is, and what is not to be discussed here.

    The forum caters to the mass audience of ppl of all ages, all walks of life and from different financial backgrounds. Some buyers may be very careful about their purchase and may ask tons of questions, especially the 1st time buyers. We have all done the same in one way or another in our earlier days.

    Anyway, I dun think its necessary to discuss or to stir thoughts whether someone should afford a car or not. Who are we to judge anyway? I know my low income colleague bought a B&B car so that he can send his aged, hardly can walk mum to the dialysis centre. And another who needs to send both parent to the hospital regularly.

    Perhaps for those who wants to be more specified in their discussion can join forums where they�have specified topics in�separate threads (General Discussion, Engine and Mods, Exterior etc),� Maybe the HRV/Vezel forum?

    I have been driving my Vezel for 10 months now and still feel shiok every time I start the car. True that sound insulation can be better but we cannot have everything, right? I have been slowly poisoning my car and these latest were fixed a couple of weeks ago. Because my driving is 70/30 highway/city, I am also getting around 16km/l (meter reading).

    To all the new owners, congrats and get poison!

    But hor, by posting this suggestion that ppl should NOT suggest what should and should not be discussed, you are already suggesting that we should not suggest things to say and not say, i.e. you are going against your own suggestion. Haha, no offence.

    Anyway i think what T2 mean is to try to keep to the topic�about�this car (vezel)�and not go off course into other topics which is a very fair suggestion. Yes�as a whole, MCF is a public and open FORUM but within the FORUM, there are many�THREADS and we should try to keep to it.�The "2nd Sept COE exercise"�thread has now currently gone off course�into the age-old argument of cars being a need or want which has been discussed till death.

    You can try installing sound insulation for the whole car...should be less than $1.5k.

    Need some advice from you guys,will the side airbags of the driver and front�passengers seats

    You mean merely changing leather seats only or you referring to leather wrapping the pillar as well?

    Technically should not have any issue with changing leather seats as the connectors r below the seats. So far never heard of cases that they are deactivated. Many have change their leather seat.

    BUT if leather wrapping the pillar then it might pose an issue as if the airbag is activated, it might be able to penetrate thru the leather. The current plastic cover is of a softer or thinner material which allows the air bag to penetrate thru should it opens.

    But again, there are cases where stock car got into head on collision, even steering air fails to deploy. Logic every simple. If u serve NS before and have went to range you should know what is IA. But car manufacturer will never tell you that.

    Hi guys, finally got my account AGAIN. Previous account was locked due to 2 years not in use. Hahahaha. Got to sign up new account with another email.

    Anyway, I ordered my vezel X model on 2 Aug and collected on 8 sept as promised.

    I asked the PI (newly opened, less than 6 months) if they have ready stock. They say yes n I got them to show me the chassis no. So confirm they got ready stock, I took a gamble n ordered with them, a saving of 3k when compared with the rest of the PI. Thinking that since they r new, they will be hard up for business n reputation. Best is when I parked there, I was just right in front of their showroom n saw a couple was that collecting their silver vezel. So I told myself they delivers, at least I seen it with my own eyes.

    True enough. I got it in a month. My deal was a 1 bid guaranteed COE. So they secured the 2nd COE bidding in August. At that time, major player was offering me at least 111k for immediate delivery, which is about 1 month. BS I would say, since my previous ride was a Rush, so I know how PI works.

    Anyway, I just realized today that the taillight on the boot door is merely reflector only. The actual taillight is at the body. The boot door only has reverse light only. Quite disturb by the auto start stop n CTBA. Also, I realized that if I accelerate gradually, sometime the rpm went as high as 4-5k. As if the gear have not been changed. I guess still not use to CVT. Heard lots of story about it.

    Overall, I'm a happy owner.

    1 day. PI receive the letter or email from LTA, they can proceed to Vicom for inspection Liao
    As for how long LTA send this letter or email out, usually it's about 2-3 days to a week.

    Once cleared Vicom, registration is done their online and is 1 working day again.

    No worries man.

    This FB group is not by PI.

    All Admins are Vezel/HRV owners.

    We share and exchange info and do meet ups.
