berbaloikah technology hybrid?

civic hybrid.. kalau dgn harga dulu (RM165k), sangat tak berbaloi.
tapi dgn harga sekarang - makin turun... honda insight  kita harap ia akan terus turun (980000 ++++)

(harga terbaru rujuk http://www.honda.com.my/insight/overview/ )
dapat 1.3 enjin dgn cvt.. +hibrid.

so katakan compare dgn civic 1.8 - beza dalam RM15,980 (1.8 civic harga - RM114,000)

so.., berapa kos save?

katakan kereta aku - travel 500km (average) utk satu tangki penuh petrol - (RM77.00)

Civic Hybrid - boleh travel 700km utk satu tangki penuh (berdasarkan purata 17km/liter)

teruskan pengiraan - kalau aku travel 500km seminggu (sebab biasa isi satu tangki penuh utk seminggu), maknanya aku travel 2000km sebulan (average) , total minyak yg aku spend - RM77 x 4 = RM308)

berbandind hybrid - aku isi 3 kali saja (sebab sekali isi bleh pegi 700km, so 700kmx3 = 2100km) = so RM77 x 3 = 231.00

so sebulan jimat kos minyak dalam RM77.00

penjimatan sebulan x 12 = RM924.00 setahun (jimat atas minyak)

katakan buat loan 7 tahun = 6, 468.00 (RM924.00 x 7).

jadi kalau amik hybrid - berbanding civic biasa, pada harga sekarang = anda hanya boleh save lebih kurang 6,468.00 pada kos petrol.

perbezaan harga kereta hybrid - civic 1.8 biasa = RM 15,980 - 6,468.00 = anda bayar RM9,512.00 premium utk mendapat sebuah kereta hybrid.

berbaloikah?

perkara lain yg harus di ambil kira :

1. Battery di jangka tahan 5 tahun saja.. kemudian kena keluar dalam RM8-10 ribu kot utk tukar battery.

2. Feel-good factor - ini faktor yg tak boleh letak tepi .. , anda berasa anda telah menyumbang kepada penghijauan bumi. faktor ni saja boleh menyebabkan anda rasa berbaloi utk membayar RM10,000 premium utk kereta ni.

3. Teknologi terbaru - teknologi yg anda guna pada kereta ni (regenerative braking power tech.) adalah teknologi yg sama kereta f1 tahun ni yg pakai KERS guna. waa.. terasa pakai kereta f1 laa pulak kan? kena pulak bekas kereta honda - Brawn GP pulak yg mengungguli F1 tahun ni. tgk rim kereta brawn GP.. lebih kurang sama dgn rim kereta honda hybrid.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Secara umum - penjimatan honda civic hibryd ni tak lah ketara.. macam toyota prius.

enjin hibrid yg di katakan hanyalah sekadar 'add-on' component yg tidak begitu effisen utk menghasilkan penjimatan yg boleh di panggil hibrid.

Hey all,

Before you read this story and decide to spam me keep in mind that I keep my tire pressure optimal, I don't drive like an idiot, I get ALL necessary maintence done when needed, etc.

I have a 2006 HCH. The car is a joke and so is Honda corporate. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT PURCHASING ONE BECAUSE THE ADDED COST OF THE CAR WILL DEFINITELY NOT PAY YOU BACK IN GAS MILEAGE OVER A 5YEAR TIME PERIOD OR OVER A LIFETIME FOR THAT MATTER.

Thought I would post on here a quick synopsis of my Honda story. For the first 50,000 miles my car got roughly 42-45mpg on average. Then over a 2-3 week time period it drastically decreased and is only getting 32-34mpg on average.

1. I took my car to local dealership and told there was not a problem. I thought to myself ok it's not too bad yet I will just keep an eye on it. Of course it got worse, so...

2. Take my car back to dealership. They tell me they duplicated my issue. Called Honda tech line who told them they were working on a car with almost the same issue. Tech line told them they replaced the battery and loaded new software into the car but neither one fixed the problem. The dealership's resolution was to WAIT for a fix? Hmmm.

3. Called honda corporate. Was told to get a "second opinion" so I took my car to the only other dealership in Tucson, AZ (Dobbs Honda) who told me they also duplicated my problem, called Honda tech line, Tech line faxed them a Questionnaire surrounding my problem that I needed to fill out so they could fax back to them and then I needed to wait.

4. Called Honda corporate back, was asssigned a case manager who I spoke with about my IMA issues and he said he would talk to the dealerships and tech line then get back to me within 1 week. He called me back and told me my car was "operating within normal circumstances" and that there was nothing wrong with it. Heat can cause it to start its safety feature which automatically turns itself off so it doesnt get damaged, etc. He also told me to read page 76 (I think that's the page) of my manual.

5. I stayed in contact with him (Morris is his name, my case manager) over several months, continued calling and expressing my dissatisfaction. Finally today he called me back again and I had a rather lengthy discussion with him. Told him I wanted either my car replaced or a $4000 credit applied to the remainder of my loan because if I wanted Civic EX gas mileage then I would have purchased a Civic EX for $4000 less than a Hybrid. He basically told me to screw myself, wouldn't give me his supervisor's name and extension, etc, etc, etc. He and Honda corporate are a joke.

I told him I was going to no longer purchase Honda products, no longer refer people to Honda, no longer get my 2 Honda's serviced at Honda dealerships, file a NHTSA safety complaint, file a BBB complaint because I was blatantly lied to regarding Honda tech line's MYTH car that EVERYONE is told they have worked on, consistently send letters to corporate, my local dealership, and finally contact KGUN 9 News on your side here in Tucson, AZ to try and get my story aired.

Thanks for listening to my story,
Sean
Tucson, AZ

P.S. - This is a shortened version of my story, but if there are others out there who have a defective IMA motor/battery and have gotten similar treatment from Honda corporate and local dealerships I would highly suggest doing some of your own research. There are plenty of consumers out there being given the runaround from Honda just like I have. Multiple people have posted safety complaints with NHTSA. You can go to their website and check for yourself.

Here are a couple of complaint id #'s: 10241683 and 10254417
