The Landmark

The drive from Kuala Lumpur was truly smooth and was just terrific. We started at 10am and arrived in Johor Bahru at about 2pm. I was a nice strolled and i like mu drive as I was accelerating within the speed limit. But did make a bit faster at certain stretch of the drive.

When I saw those banners, I realised that Honda Hybrid’s electric motor recharges automatically whenever you press on the brake pedal and another great news is, it’s given 8-years warranty, making Honda the one and only company that offers the longest warranty term in Malaysia. This truly fantastic.

The Honda Civic Hybrid Engine

The 1.5L i-Vtec + IMA system engine has a great pick up power compare to the Honda City 1.5L Vtec. When the 1.5L i-Vtec engine works together with an electric motor to produce an impressive power to the Civic Hybrid that helps to safe fuel consumption. As Honda uses Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) in order for the car engine to work smoothly with the electric motor in which it helps to achieve harmony between fuel efficiency & performance. This is achievable by producing more torque with an infinite number of effective gear ratios. With this system, fuel efficiency is improved and excessive RPM is limited when ECON mode is activated.

Their new improved Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery now can help to increase output of 33% and only weighs 9kg lighter than the previous civic’s hybrid battery. Definitely a sure winner. As for this Honda Civic I find it very comfortable and the body is rather spacious. So how can one not resist of not jump into this car.

Departed Johor Bahru and Head Back to Kuala Lumpur

One sweet experience while driving the Honda Hyrid, by making my fuel efficiency top priority with the ECON Mode button, the car is able to maximise the full potential of Honda’s Hybrid Technology. Everytime I brake, the engine will automatically turn off and the electrical motor will take over the job. It is just fabulous. Definitely the car to drive especially price of petrol just went up by 20cents.
