Hi,

Does any member have any dealing with VOLKS AUTO PTE LTD in Macpherson? Their price are much less than other PIs, and I hope it is not a "hit and run" dealer.

[Kangadrool]

not weird lah. If you are willing to max the loan, no discounts, don't ask for all the freebies including umbrella , better chance to get at 1st bid. All calculated until gum gum one. Plus, always check if there's ready stock.

 

 

coe bid is dam weird. i know someone who recently bot a car with 6bid non guaranteed n got his coe on 1st bid! i know another who has already waited 2mths n AD still havent bid for her yet...

Have been seeing a black Vezel travelling on TPE towards Changi area for the past 2 mornings. If you in here, how is the car?

 

It's probably me you saw.

How is the car?

 

for me the car looks good and I have not problem driving a CVT cause currenty car also CVT with the exception that Honda can do better by adding more interior feature. A bluetooth interface on the steering wheel for answering call, cruise control button and a rear air duct will do just fine.

Oh ya, reg the lta 130hp new pattern, is this model using the 1.5 GDI with 132ps/130hp? If so, will kena long delays before delivery or not?

Mine is the 1.5X model.

 

Bluetooth controls:

- Only on the head unit (steering wheel can be done via 3rd party?)

Cruise control:

- Available on 1.5 X & S. Not available on G

Rear Air Duct:

- Not available, but there 2 air outlets beneath the front seats (considered?)

- so far no complaints from rear passengers, get compliments instead, perhaps due to the fact that its new?

 

Additional Features on X compared to G:

LED headlights

Cruise Control

Chrome trimming on air duct and handles

Hi Seankwa,

 

May I know what is the OMV of your Honda Vezel as I wish to know if I can loan for 60% (omv<20K)or not?

 

What is the CEVS rebate ($10K or 15K).? You should able to tell if you refer to the parf value of your car log card.

 

Thanks and Best regards

Jun Hong

Saw some videos from YouTube. The car looks good :) the more I look at it the more I think it looks good. Doesn't seem to be underpowered according to the test drive I saw in YouTube. And it has the magic seat, I guess this is a very big plus point ?

[Mitlancer71]

 

Yeah. Got the 1.5X for about 3 weeks already.

 

Though my humble '07 Jazz had served me well, definitely enjoying my current ride now.

 

:D

Hi Bro,

 

I was told by the PI in Turf Club that Vezel cannot be on the road yet as it has not gone thru the engine horsepower test to determine whether this car belongs to Cat A or B.

 

Able to share more abt yr ride ? Thanks

Magic Seats . Adds a lot more versatility to the ride, creates space when you need it.

 

Mahjong table, 26" mountain bike etc are just some of the things that i threw into my ex-Jazz.

Someone i knew even managed to fit a folding bed into his Airwave!

Kindly enlighten. What the heck is a "Magic seat"? Seats that disappear when u need space and reappear when u need to ferry ppl.

[Watwheels]

I think the Hybrid Z model is a better option to go for. But that will be Cat B with the additional 29hp coming from the electric motor. Plus the Vezel hybrid model comes in 7sp dual clutch gearbox. Performance wise will be better.

Bro Seankwa could be the lucky one.

Cos PI was saying the Vezel are still sitting in either the showroom or yard and canoot be release yet as LTA waiting to verify the horsepower output.

If you notice there are different horsepower in different sites from 129, 130, 132 ....... And just happened that the cut off between Cat A & Cat B is 130.

 

Now is kind of confusing for everyone.

No lah. What the car maker quoted is 132PS. PS=98.6% of bhp. That makes it approx. 130bhp.

Let's say if LTA categorised it as Cat B. Might as well bring in the Hybrid version.
