UK and US have tax breaks to compensate for the extra cost.. we dont have running cost is definitely lower, the fuel consumption is far far better.. and road tax is lower also (1.3 vs 1.7).. as for maintenance, for the first 7-8 years it would be just like a conventional cars’, but after that the battery might need replacing and that is very expensive. plus second hand value is lower coz its not well known.

U need to get in touch with HQ to get it. Pricewise its almost the same as the normal CIvic cos Honda is subsidising the costs. We do have the hybrid in Malaysia, but in very small numbers.

But I think this kind of weird looks can't last for long. Just after 2 years you will feel ulgy. People always say EASY like it EASY hate it! like a girls, easy come easy go!! Honda should make something natural and long lasting image. Unique looks! But I think this kind of weird looks can’t last for long. Just after 2 years you will feel ulgy.

THis has got to be the best photo ever! Although i knew about the dash, these pics really show how beautiful they are. I am definately getting this car. Must save up, jump the City and go straight for Civic. BTW, honda civic = toyota altis and honda city = toyota vios. Who said honda not affordable? City and Civic are just as cheap as vios and altis if not even more value for money. OMG… THis has got to be the best photo ever!

But some may find it nice. It all depends on the person. But honda should follow toyota and come up with something practical and affordable ( vios, altis).

I love the idea of putting the speedometer very close to the windshield for minimizing eye movements. It's a good mix of design between futuristic, practicality, and last-longs. Is the RPM meters colour can be change (purple to red)? Or it's an option for future buyers?..... Could anyone give me the answer, please......... Wow!!
