Honda Vezel

1. Harder to resell next time - i think there's always market for it

2. Practically near zero scrap value - True..very low..negligible

3. Reliability of the battery. Possible to lost the use of car of up to 1 month, if were to order new spare parts from Japan. - its 5 yrs warranty from mfg but the leadtime might be a concern

I booked a hybrid...its a risk to take I guess...

5 years from mfg is you do your own claim from Honda factory or 3rd party ws? Please read out the T&C from the ws. A lot of 5 years warranty claim is capped @ $10,000. Even you go small claim or engage lawyer also LL

JDM model do not have warranty from factory once out from Japan unless is a recall. All warranty is taken up by 3rd party. Is important to know who is taking up your PI warranty and the terms behind it

Sound proof worse than vios? The new or old vios?

The one that is rounder? Just a version earlier than the new one. Of course there may be other factor like tyres etc but i feel its quieter somehow.

I bought the materials and get a freelancer to do it. Way cheaper. Doors (10 pieces sp) plus floor (7+ pieces sp plus a full layer of 3m thinsulate) about $1.1k if i rem correctly. Using stp gold.

A friend was advising against getting Hybrid Vezel for the following reasons:

 

1. Harder to resell next time

2. Practically near zero scrap value

3. Reliability of the battery. Possible to lost the use of car of up to 1 month, if were to order new spare parts from Japan.

 

Any thoughts?

 

All vezel practically zero scrap value after minus cevs. Buy Citroen, Peugeot, skoda, ford also hard to sell on second hand market. So no diff here. Driven a hybrid for 8 years no problem at all that's why I went for vezel hybrid. The drive is really awesome. So ultimately your choice. Dealers will say things that skew you towards them. Just pure business sense.

Vezel engine on top, and below it, HRV engine.

 

Vezel engine is claimed to be newer & more powerful by a few bhp.

 

HRV engine has been around for some time, also used in the Jazz 1.5

 

 

That info seems to be incorrect. That is, if you're referring to the local HRV.

 

The local HRV's engine is the 1.5L SOHC one that is only up to 118bhp.

 

Vezel's engine and the local Jazz 1.5 engine is the 1.5L DOHC one that has up to 129Bhp.

 

Do take note. That means the HRV's engine is of a lower spec than the Jazz 1.5 even.

 

This has been raised quite some time ago.

Curious, did u soundproof the roof as well?

Nope. My rear boot and roof untouched yet. I did front wheel arc too though...but minimal effect i feel. Tyres already changed to quieter type...

I would say doors - 25-30%. Floor about 20%. But it definitely felt better going over humps and during rainy days where you feel less of the water splashing.

San my vezel only 1 week old front bumper got small scratch and paint peeling off. Must be due to the roadworks outside my workplace that has been going on for several days. Just did paint protection last week and can go back to touch up for free haha
