Bieffe 2nd Gear July 21, 2016 Share July 21, 2016 A questions bros, how do you feel about merging with fast traffic upslope? Eg on the Sheares bridge or something that's a bit steep? I have a 1.8l Civic, so it is probably not a far comparison, I don't really drive fast, but I do want to have a little turn of speed to merge with traffic smoothly... You can consider the Forester 2.0 Mpi. Price of the car abt the same. More power and bigger and more car in almost every way. Only issue is higher rd tax and fuel consumption. Sigh, I guess there's a price to pay for all that superb FC.. It looks like it's still the HRV for me.. Superb FC Jap made Fantastic space utility Magic seats Honda reliability But will do that test drive and see in Sept.. And keep my options open, including the Forrester, B class and who knows the CHR? :) I will pass on the B class. Neither here nor there car here in Singapore. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyngps 5th Gear July 21, 2016 Share July 21, 2016 (edited) Ya man .... I'm so used to civic 1.8 performance too... definitely can feel vezel like out of breath when going up slope. Sighhh now buy car is like paying a bomb to get a peanut.I still feel its the cvt being the culprit...technically bhp of 128/129 should be more than enpugh given the light body weightThanks, so it's a big drop in performance huh :(Cvt yes. Personally would prefer the hybrid since its not cvt...not to mention the extra 21 bhp. To compare with civic 1.8 i would think the hynrids a better comparison.

therock Supersonic July 21, 2016 Share July 21, 2016 Our choices are limited in SG.. other places get the diesel, or a manual.. or the 1.8l. But I am also keen to be more environmentally friendly. The 1.5 is a totally new engine, and the 1.8l is 10 years old and FC is pretty nasty. Almost as bad as the turbo Forrester or worse I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sighhh now buy car is like paying a bomb to get a peanut. Vezel with 1.5T is coming out soon. Malaysia HRV is using 1.8L. Don't know why they not bring it in.

I am conservative - I prefer to get my cars from the AD :) Is it confirmed that there will be a 1.5T in Singapore? When will it come? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbs Clutched July 22, 2016 Share July 22, 2016 (edited) Had the chance to drive a Vezel for 4 days thanks to my friend. Must say I am fully convinced on why there are so many Vezels on the roads these days. Having said, seriously thinking about the Hybrid version because of its low fc. Any hybrid owners can comment on the reliability of the 7 speed DCT gearbox? Would help a lot in my research. Many thanks in advance!
