The best feature that my family liked about Freed besides the awesome interior space especially the central aisle so we never have to fold the second row seats to access the third row is the power sliding door. Both my aged parents finds it so easy getting in and out of Freed, even in very tight parking places. Do not worry about the power, it is a Honda! Do not worry about the FC, it easily does 16km/L (my old Wish is 12km/L). Do not worry about cornering, if you like to corner at 120km then this car is not suitable for you. You have talent to be a F1 driver! This is Freed1 that lets the driver and passengers enjoy a safe and leisurely drive. Do not worry about interior space, compared to the Stream this Freed is a big river without obstructions. Cheers, Willy Hello from Singapore,

So, although I partially agrre with you that prices might be "cheaper" there but I suggest that when you make a comparison, do not directly convert 1 GBP to RM6, but compare 1GBP to RM1, which is more reasonable. Take for instance, what can you buy in TESCO for GBP50 compared to RM50..... of course a whole lot more. So when you buy, say a Ford Focus (about GBP 20K i think ) of course it is "cheap" there, but remember that besides insurance, their road tax will also increase, based on CO2 emission (which I assume would increase as part of wear&tear of the engine) So there is pros and cons of M'sian car industry, but I would suggest a more constructive and reasonable argument.

This isn't a car for outstation, long drives....it's slow city travelling like Citroen Berlingo - Renault-Kagoo segments.. where the money goes from S$65-70k, I would have gone for a Honda stream RSZ instead, or trusty durable old Toyota Wish....

Looking for more competition on car based 6/7 seat Compact MPVs. Something just one size smaller and once class cheaper than the Stream and Wish. Right now, there's only the aging Citra and the Grand Livina. I could use some competition and choice in the 80k range. A 1.5/1.6/1.8 is good. Works against the oddly thirsty 2.0 in the Citra. Perfect! Looks encouraging if Honda Malaysia brings it in.
