  11. Hi bros and sis, just seeking your help and comments. My vehicle was stationery waiting for traffic lights, some idiot wanted to change lane langar my car backside. Accident seems moderately bad but CNG tank not affected. I proceed to Comfort Delgro make accident 3rd party claims against the bugger's insurance company. But wah liao super sian, even replacement car also must myself ask then they give... Somemore I have to request myself to send for CNG inspection... How come Delgro like not acting in my interest one?? I ask the counter staff if they ever encounter 3rd party claims before they said 1st time... most claim their own insurance. Would any Ah Beng company have done a better job?? My questions are: 1) If backside kena hit, is it gd chance that my claim will succeed? TP arrived and took some notes as well. 2) The back frame, looking like a metal bar jut out of the bumper, and is bended at the end. Will it affect the whole structure of the car? I.E safety aspect? 3) Comfort Delgro said for parallel import car, parts hard to come by, so may take up to months if no parts. Is this true for Honda Edix? I am quite worried can't fix leh.. now a bit regret buy parallel import. Anyway, sorry to take up your time bros and sis... feeling so sad now :(

  16. Its 8.20+am Monday morning and you have the normal rush hour traffic on the AYE through to CTE and I have this Silver edix (no 4848 or 8484) tailgating me all the way from AYE to the CTE. Nothing I could do but keep my distance with the guy in front around 3 car lengths as I usually do. No way to overtake until finally reach CTE where traffic on the left filters out to AYE and this bozo overtakes on the left. I exited at CTE Merchant Road exit to Boat Quay and ended up behind him again! Must be late for work, but why tailgate when theres NOTHING i could do about it. Unusually I decided to keep cool about it as usually i'll slow down/tap my brakes to shake him off my tail, but i didn't want to harard an accident (yes - he was that close) what if i did tap on my brakes and resulted in an accident ? will he still be liable for all my damages even if i admitted to "tapping my brakes" (not that I'd want the complication) ? idiot spoilt my morning drivetime

  23. New fabric and chrome for the FR-V Honda promised to reveal the new 2007 model of the FR-V / Edix on the auto salon in Paris. Compared to the 2006 model there are a few minor updates to spot. It isn't exactly a major overhaul. The grille and the door handles have been updated with darker chromium. At the back side Honda has changed the arches a bit, this to make the FRV / Edix look sportier. Also the darkened reflectors in the rear light units and headlight units make the FRV / Edix look sportier. In the interior the changes are minor as well. Just a bit more storage space and some new fabrics. Further will the FRV be equipped with some carbon elements in the interior and a audioplug for a MP3 player (Ipod). For the first time the FRV will become available with a 5 speed automatic gearbox. This gearbox is mounted to a 140 Bhp 1.8 liter i-VTEC, which replaces the old 1.7 and 2 liter petrol engines. For those who prefer diesel, a 2.2 liter diesel engine with 140 Bhp will be available. The Diesel engine will be equipped with a filter. Hopefully this new model will become a bigger success then the old model, since its sales were a bit behind on the expectations.

  25. A Brief Introduction 'The Practical Edix', 'The Edix Experience... One Year On', 'Edix - Minivan With The Extra Loving Touch', Call me delirious, call me obsessive. Conjuring up the title has never been this difficult. One must tread along the side of objectivity and neutrality without indulging in colourful language and narrative description. Just as in life, no human is infallible; The Edix has its own unique traits, both good and bad. As part of Edix Junior's birthday bash, I shall be presenting my amateurish views on its practicality and hope that they will be of assistance to the undecided family man At The Carpark The Edix makes its presence felt without appearing aggressive. The controversial mix of the prominent Honda embalm and front grilles, wavy smooth doors and chrome handles, together with the angulated rear windscreen and tailgate spoiler renders the Edix hard to miss at carparks and roads alike. Getting Into the Car The interior lights, display meters and ignition key knob illuminate with the unlocking of the Edix, providing 30 seconds of convenient entry in a dim environment. Retractable door windows with power mirrors and integrated lights exude a minor hint of luxury. Given the reasonable height of 1.610m and the near-floor landing of the platform, passengers are able to make their entry with great ease. The elderly in particular will fancy the ergonomical feature Doors close solidly on a heavy note, resembling the continental cars. At times, get ready for some pleasant surprise when you spot those puzzled eyes staring hard at 3 individuals seated in front Sitting In The Car With the exception of the queer 3-man front seating, one can perform myriad of permutations in the seat configuration and arrangement. Being able to sit beside you, your soulmate will adore you for the loving touch Not withstanding the 2 fixed rear side seats, legroom is never an issue even for 6-footers. The dashboard looks modern and classy with the external temperature, remaining mileages and 2 tripmeters displayed. I tend to rely more on the remaining mileages as the onboard computer can promptly warn me of impending fuel depletion based on my driving habits and the road condition. The inner double tray and underseat box of the front centre seat coupled with the triple cup holder are thoughtful features that provide extra neat space for miscellaneous items. Travelling In The Car The major shortcoming of the Edix lies in its ride capabilities A peformance car, it is definitely not. The chassis is rather heavy for the fuel capacity of the Edix viz 1395 kg. This clearly explains the overall underpowered feel as well as the inferior fuel economy as compared to the lighter Toyota Wish 1300 kg and Honda Civic 1230 kg. However, in spite of the additional curb weight, Edix in its own genre, is capable to producing up to 14.5 km/l which is nothing to be embarrassed about. The abbreviated length of the Edix viz 4.285 m proves to be an advantage as its turning radius is a mere 4.9 m, smaller than the conventional MPVs and sedans. The monotonous road handling typical of Japanese cars reside in the Edix as well. Body roll is fair allowing the driver to negotiate turns at ~30 km/h. The same applies to suspension as one has to overcome humps at 20 - 25 km/h. Changing of gear (2,200 rpm - 3,000 rpm, depending on the terrain and your right foot i.e. personality traits) comes with mild jerks and is not as refined as the European makes. Luckily for the Edix, cruising remains hassle-free even on a fully loaded day viz 80 km/h at 2,000 rpm, 90 km/h at 2,200 rpm, 100 km/h at 2,400 - 2,500 rpm. The only other saving grace comes from the agile steering and firm braking. Road noise insulation is suboptimal at 80 km/h and beyond. Pillars are tall and broad. Therein lies the potential danger of missing pedestrians and vehicles while approaching crossings or overtaking respectively. Believe me, your field of vision can be impaired by the driver's Pillars A and B in particular and therefore extra caution needs to be exercised on the road. Creature comfort is always a subjective issue to cover. Personally, I'm not paranoid over the number of cupholders, air con vents or arm/leg rest. The air con works fast and efficient enough to silence every critic viz 27 - 28 deg Cel for a couple, 25 - 26 deg Cel for 6 adults, all at the lowest fan speed. Anything colder, you would have thought that 'The Day After Tomorrow' is having its run in Singapore Parking The Car Due to its wide girth viz 1,795m, one has to utilise the side mirrors more often than one would have for a sedan. On the other hand, as far as parking goes, it is not hard to realise that the Edix is actually shorter than what it is perceived from inside the car. All it takes eventually is a matter of getting used to the well endowed size of the Edix. Getting Out Of The Car With the gearknob located on the dashboard, the right placed driver can make his way out via the left door easily, if faced with tight parking confines. The alarm bells start ringing when one either forgets to apply the seatbelt or overlooks the inactivation of the headlights. The latter proves useful to me as it prevents me from wasting the car battery overnight. Fuel Consumption (Shell 98) 0 - ~1,000 km (run-in) mainly 90 % City 10 % Highway 9.9 - 10.75 km/l The sole occasion when my Edix hits 9.9 km/l reminds me of my ignorance in checking the tyre pressure viz 230kPa. 1,000 - >20,000 km 90% City 10 % Highway to 10% City 90% Highway 11.5 - 14.5 km/l Driving Habits By the way, you will usually see me travelling leisurely in the centre lane, whether on roads (60 - 70 km/h) or highways (80 - 90 km/h). Overtaking of vehicles is performed only when the cars in front are cruising below the speed limit on less congested days viz road hoggers. After all, in a small country like Singapore, how much time can be saved when one becomes impatient behind the wheel? A mere few minutes perhaps but certainly with the malicious element included. Financial Consideration The psychological barrier of making purchases with the parallel importers is truly a tall one to overcome. One is confronted with multiple uncertainties of having cars from alternative sources e.g. shutdown of unstable companies, empty freebie promises, long waiting time for car arrival. On the other hand, however, it would be unfair to label PIs as unreliable dealers because experienced players like Hitman, Hup Long, Pinnacle Motors and VinCar are competent in delivering favourable results. Incidentally, they are the pioneers in the introduction of the Edix to our roads 2 years ago so one is less likely to lose the plot when liaising with them. As for all things in life, every car purchase whether mainstream or otherwise, is often made with some element of luck in the process. There is no telling in this world which car comes with faulty parts and is potentially at risk of breaking down. Even established companies in Singapore have their rides recalled so anything under the sun can happen. A car is an expensive liability. Thus one must note the details that accompany the purchase. Here are a few simple calculations which I hope, would be helpful to the buyer : 1. UPFRONT price = SELLING price (i.e. the tag you see in the papers) + ACCESSORY items (the 'freebies' : usually include leather seat, sports rim, rear sensor and carpet) + FINANCIAL surcharge (administrative charges) + ADVANCED instalment (First month) 2. TOTAL payment amount = UPFRONT price (i.e. all of the above items) + remaining instalments (largely influenced by the INTEREST rate) 3. MAINTENANCE cost = MONTHLY instalment + FUEL + GANTRIES + INSURANCE + PARKING EXPENSES + ROAD TAX + WORKSHIP CHARGES After addressing the payment, the next item on the checklist should be the A4 sized papers that you will be placing your precious signatures upon i.e. the Letter of Warranty, Delivery Certificate, Hire Purchase Agreement and Motor Cover Insurance Kindly note that the conventional 3-year warranty or 60,000 km coverage may not apply to all car components over the entire 3 years as the number of parts under warranty decreases with each passing year. Therefore one must compare and contrast the various clauses and offers stated in black and white by the PIs. Conclusion Many thanks for bearing with me through this lengthy account. The Edix has been a fabulous and worthy buy so far I hereby extend my salute to all the Edixons for their selflessness in sharing first hand reviews with fellow drivers, especially Bro Seansene and Bro Blackmafia. Congratulations to Bro MacLuver for the great initiative in setting up our very own Edix forum Finally... HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, EDIX JUNIOR
