Lol, i don't know for all, but yes, i believe so.

I've sat in the PHV vezel before in the rear and front seat. I find it acceptable leh.

Mainly depend on driver as well.

Driving like F1 surely won't be comfy.

wah, how to check if the odometer is tampered huh?

For japanese cars, only way is to buy a fully agent serviced unit and verify the mileage with the service centre.

Actually hor, not easy to do that. Agent service centre usually won't entertain these sort of public request for info. If seller cannot provide proof of service, walk away

Another option is to buy a 1 owner OPC Vezel then convert to normal scheme as OPC cannot be use for PHV.

Idea ah but this must be as rare as dragon's teeth...

dont forget hrv is lower spec compared to those PI vezel.

in fact for the price of an used vezel, you have so many other choices.

Like what car? It's not easy to find another car that offers similar value to a used vezel in terms of space, ride height (ease of entry and exit), performance, reliability, brand perception etc.

Can easily find vezels for 8+K depreciation.

Brand new raize depre lower than some used vezels though. Reliability probably also OK since its Toyota.

Ya lor, go for HRV, rather than a vezel is safer i feel.

But if TS wants a high performance vezel hybrid, then i guess HRV will not be an option anymore.

Whoever said its ride is hard or harsh obviously have upsize the rims. PI cars comes with not so good looking factory rims especially for small car segment. So what ppl do? "Bigger wheels, better looking." So what they get is also the harsh ride. If you sit in those everything stock size, everything is just fine.

You can only listen with a pinch of salt of what ppl say. Some ppl like big rims. Some like to over inflate their tires. Some just like to cry father but never use their brain. All kinds of critics out there.

I guess HRV is of lesser risk 

For Mz3, most PHVs seem to the basic model. So if die die must buy used, go for the Deluxe model or hatchback

For jap hybrids, i.e Shuttle hybrid, Voxy hybrid, Axio hybrid, Prius & Prius+....all bets are off

I was the first to say it has a rock-hard ride. It is my experience from sitting in the back of a PHV Vezel, and confirmed by a road trip as a passenger to Sepang in a stock HRV. The owner also agree. A few reviews I have read corroborated my thoughts.

Or maybe my backside is too thinly padded. 😂

No offence if you own one, ya.

One man's meat is another man's poison. In this world, there will be peoples who love & hate vezel co-exist together.

TS choose vezel maybe because of its fuel saving engine or other reasons like magic seat function in a small crossover?

I am sure the designers of vezel didn't designed this car for private hire use in mind, so let us look at this car good points instead of bashing it because of its association with phv.

If not every cars here in sg also can bash since almost all got that blue little stickers.

I tot exactly along the same lines as you...

I learnt from a PI SE that even if used car depre is higher than the new cars, there's always a market for the former cause of the lesser downpayment and absolute amount to fork out.

Eg. 18k for 2 years left (9k depre) is more attractive for some than 85k brand new (8.5k depre)...

Agree bro, also It's about perspective. Someone coming from a civic Type-R with lowered and stiffened suspension and 30 profile racing tyres vs someone coming from a Bently will tell u greatly deferring views on the comfort of the Vezel (regardless stock or 20 inch rims).

Both are correct 😄
