Honda Vezel

[Tak]

To all bros/sis who traded-in theor rides:

 

Did the PIs locked-in the trade-in price of the old ride on the day you booked and signed the dotted line? Or did they give the price based on the forecast date of de-registration?

 

For mine yes as well, and also indicated 1 for 1 exchange on delivery, at least wont be stuck with no car to drive. But this should be a norm across PIs (at least those that I have spoken to).

[Cephas]

 

For my yes and I don't like last minute surprises. Buying from PI already come filled with a lot of surprises, excitement and unknown, so take away 1 is better than adding on. :)

 

So is it like disabling/enabling the overdrive?

 

S is sports mode something like overdrive, for overtaking. it will drop gear so you will feel the surge of power and rpm will go up.

 

it's ok to try it from stationary position up to 80km/h which i have tried it on my honda...but for new car yet to run-in, try it from stationary position in order to protect your pistons from wear and tear due to high rpm.

To all bros who have collected their rides, mind sharing what is the mileage clocked on your collection day? TIA

[Airwaver3]

Wow, from Sgcarmat price for the X model can range from $108k to $139K, such a BIG diiferences. Irregardless of the price, whether the dealer can deliver the car or whether they have ready stock in the showroom is another matter.

Hmm... the leather wrapping on the 2 front seats doesn't look impressive. Local fitted?

 

all vezel leather seat locally fitted

unless you special indent which will cost $$$, how much more not sure

some hybrid may have it and some S model

[Soonkuay76]

Better dun try if not your rpm shoots up so fast will hurt your heart ah!

will try for fun one of these days

but without econ mode off the engine is already purring mighty fine for a 1.5l

Bro Soonkuay, one of your pics shows your ride back to back with a audi. Is that a Q3 or a hatchback? If yes, seems like vezel has the same height with that.

 

yo alex that's a Q7!!

Bro, must be enjoying every bits of your drive.

I suppose 270km only use up less than half of your tank right?

I went to talked to Zion 2 times and they can't convince me and keep saying they supply a lot of cars to other PI but still need to wait for vezel as they don't have stock. They have one bid Coe but not stock available so keep suggesting 4 bid Coe cap at 58k top up requires if Coe abv that.

Thanks for your reply. So Zion cannot make it. Did you try other PIs?

 

I think Vincar is okay, but they quote 120K leh ...

[Fuelsaver]

If I buy it from PI, does it mean I have to pay by myself for this problem? Or the PI will handle it for me?

this i'm unsure, but there is a possibility the warranty workshop may digress the issue to other issues instead of the issue that warrants the warranty. this is despite everything is put into writing / contract. in view of such issue, i would prefer to deal with AD.

 

usually not an issue w jap cars, but beware of newer techs like twin clutch n such.

8 yrs ago when i bought my 1st PI car there was a major recall also lucky is not part of batch. Some who got hit tried to claim from their PI but not all are successful especially those smaller PI.

hey bro, i actually top up a bit will update u,

was driving without Econ mode last few days

but with econ mode the engine sounds tamer and more quiet this may help improve fuel consumption - right @seankwa & @tanwl1970

I can't said Zion can't make it...up to u to try. I asked jack car SE who sold me my current car but he seems reluctant to give me info on vezel and asked him price then he said abt 120k...knn kinda turn off like don't want to do business so no choice gotta source around for best deal.

My previous update on my FC 14km/l is without eco mode. This week I'm fully on eco mode and will update soon on the figure.

this is a very valid point - in case of a recall, what is PI duty; put into contract.
