Today I just booked the HRV for my ex gf too

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).

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?

 

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

Went down to ubi today been to a few PI, all same price 111.8k guarantee COE but have to wait almost 5 months then can get car

 

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

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. AD everything is follow the manual but the skills of the mechanics are just as important.

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!
