Can consider.. just that it's CVT gearbox.

A lotta lexus uses CVT gb too..... just a matter of getting used to... not like it's bad technology to begin with....

Really a head turner.... Roomy, comfortable, decent specs with good FC... Dunno what else can I ask for

Sure or not , u lose more than a 100hp and heavier car than ur current

Remember for full hybrids, combined power of 231hp is when you have charge in ur battery..

Depending on drive modes, the batt is flat, u r pulling most of the time with 184hp petrol engine ( and will realize the battery and the electric motor can be quite a dead weight .. )

Wah rao eh..... if I have to upgrade whenever I change... will be broke or carless in no time lor.... Already mentioned that this car will prolly be my most powerful ICE car in my life.... Not gonna get something with more horses than this le....

Uob irritating... Called and wanted to close my banking account. And also to waive the fees incurred due to having $0 in it for the last 3+ years lol...
They said can only do in person. So I went down and the branch tell me they got no authority to waive. Asked me to pay up first...
I just question the nice guy and said since there's no transaction for the last 3+ years, can we waive or do something about it?

Then the branch manager took over and begrudgingly agreed to submit waiver request up to whichever dept to review.
Really trying to make it difficult only

My Colt Version R uses the CVT gearbox too

I didn't know that..

I ask stupid question. The battery is charged from the kinetic energy right? It's not able to be charged from an EV charging point right?

Full hybrids can be either PHEV or no plug in. Both cases the battery capacities tend to be way much smaller than EVs, but some German hybrids are starting to get larger batteries for their PHEVs.

Plug in Hybrid ( PHEV ) will have an electric charging port.

If no plug in charging port, electricity is from regenerative braking etc from the petrol engine. Upside is u also dun wear out ur brake pads and brake discs as fast vs ICE since the electric motor does bulk of the "braking"... Abit machiam like engine brake except it also charges battery.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I will remember this abbreviation.. PHEV.

Whoooo pocket rocket... anyway you get a hybrid, will be driving a lot less spiritedly.... CVT should be bearable now mah.... embrace chiur age!!

Go one round shoot I old.. but I admit.. haha

Actually my COE still got a few years..

But every now and then, backside will be itchy.

Haiz.... friend also backside itchy.... but managed to get a fairly good deal... audi clearing stock... got an A6 for 270k

Doesn't hurt to keep a lookout for clearance sale I suppose...

Walao you buy stocks and cars macham going to wet market to buy vegetables

No prob.

If u drive eco mode or green / fuel saving modes on full hybrids , usually vehicle will exhaust the battery 1st and then use petrol, which realistically means most of the time you probably wun be able to enjoy that " combined horsepower " ..

My friend not me leh..... his car only 1+yr COE left..... then put off sooooo many repairs just to bolster his pitch to buy new car to his wife....

Had to make do with an USB fan during the last week of his old car usage cuz AC dead...

Then defeat the purpose also.. need to drive spiritedly!
