1st Gear

Placed booking (LX) on early July and got the car end Sept.

Managed to get Vkool (it was J83 package)

Found out car engine at time can be quite noisy (roaring), perhaps need to work on the accelerator like some bro mentioned earlier. Somehow I felt the pick up response is a little below my expectation

NVH and bumpiness is still acceptable to me as my previous ride is a hatchback.

I am getting about 14km/L for my FC. Guess I am heavy footer and I disable the start stop function.

Overall, it met my expectation as a simple BnB car....

Cheers!

Enjoy your HRV. The engine is noisy, the direct injection engine is more noisy than the common type.

It's interesting to know where else it's made but Kah told us it's Japanese in origin..

 

If it's really built in Mexico, shipped to Japan, then it is still, technically, coming from Japan.

If that's really the case it might explain why the OMV of Kah's vehicles are astronomically high.

The modestly equipped 1.5T Civic has OMV that is equal to a kitchen sink loaded continental.

That would be a real sleigh of hand.. I guess most Kah HRV buyers aren't particular, or they don't really read such news on MCF.. 

I would be rather cross actually. Will ask my friend to check if she has her VIN no yet..

Speaking about peice of mind with AD...here is my story..

 

Sent in for 1k servicing last week. Upon collection found paint scratch on the edge of the body colored bumper close to rear right door. The scratch was in awkard location and both SA and SE are puzzled how it occured. I was quite sure the scratch was not there 2 days before as I hand washed the car. When I sent it for servicing, it was also not detected by SA during pre servicing inspection. But again, such incident is very hard to conclude and deduce... besides it is also impossible to detect all defect during pre servicing inspection. We didnt point finger at each other and my SE wanted to help me as the car was only 2 weeks old. He offer to get it fix for me at no cost. Today, I sent in my car and they replaced the panel for me within an hour... yes can sleep sound tonight....

HRV has a unique direct injection design ?

It is a DOHC Direct injection engine which achieve leaner combustion for lower fuel consumption and produce lower emission. The previous batch of HRV used a SOHC Engine which is less lean and produce higher emission.

That is exactly what my SE told me when I feedback about the noise...

 

I started to worry when I read from forum about the noise and bumpiness but so far I am OK with it.... IMHO, cant compare sedan ride with SUV/hatchback ride. If prefer quiet ride, sedan will be a safer bet I guess...

AD service for you. Good on you bro.

:)

 

I am glad that KM make things right for me.... cant imagine if I need to fork out additional $ to get it fix..

Take your time with mods bro.. add ons are simpler and less likely to affect warranties.

Electric tailgate, more LED lights etc.. 

Go slow..

 

So there's a whole batch with Vin "X" ? it will be interesting if someone confronts them to check if it's true about the Mexican connection.. 

 

 

Ohh.. most likely not going to c'ng the car as I think all is good for me liao... if not this car will not be "value for money" as more money poured in to c'ng .. also it will not add value when you scrap or trade in. 

Some like to add chrome but I feel overkill liao but hor if like it then why not ? cheers!!

I hear that some 1.5 Jazz owners complain about the noise too. It is the nature of this type of engine.

In Hong Kong, the Vezel is assembled in Japan but most parts are made in Mexico then shipped to Japan to be assembled. The key components such as the engine and transmission are still Japan made. Should be the same for Singapore

Assembled/made in Mexico whatever.  Cars shipped back to Honda Japan for sales in local market.  Japan dealers got cars from Honda to sell.  Singapore PI bought cars from Japan dealer.  Japan dealer shipped car to Singapore => lo and behold => car is imported from japan => PI confuse people and said car made in Japan (instead of "imported from Japan")

Even if you buy a $20k tv that is labelled made in Japan, you sure all the parts inside are made in Japan?
