OK im seriously damn crazy already these days. I’ve been playing starcraft 2 like “MAD”! literally crazy !! I’m so gonna go crazy and stone.
Saturday morning is one of the day i haven wake up so early in the morning for a long time. Waking up 8am in the morning get ready for event and trip and be there by 9am. Is kinda weird seeing fellow bloggers early in the morning, because usually our events are pass afternoon and evening. Honda Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. hosted a group of bloggers in a test drive session in the All-New Freed. Joined and guided by special guests, Paul Tan and his team mates.
Early morning reach Souled Out i see so many Freed lining up already, 8 of them.
Went up stairs meet up with people and have breakfast.
WoW seeing 2 babes early in the morning made my day !! WHEE!! so i psyched up already !
Had breakfast, some briefing on the new Honda Freed and off we go for a test drive from Hartamas Souled out to Putrajaya.
Our car, 4 person in a car but our car had 5 people, well because im not driving.
The dashboard of the vehicle, the steering wheel has s smart computer system controlling the car, while going on low speed the turning of the wheel is very light and easy to maneuver, while going at high acceleration the steering wheel turns hard, this is for safety purpose.
Back of the car where we put things is quite spacious if no body is sitting, is either u fill the car with baggage or people. Still friendly enough to put a stroller or wheelchair behind.
Middle seats is quite spacious and easy for disable people and senior passenger to get on board because of its sliding door. Sliding door is automatic and it makes it even more convenient! with a remote you can open the door from a distance before reaching your vehicle.
Our crew for the day Leonard Chua 1st driver, Feeq 2nd driver, Eu Veng 3rd driver and Sham 4th driver. Apparently Leonard has no skills in camwhoring so Sham face covered by him. Bad Leonard bad !
1st stop here changing driver. We change driver every 20KM so everybody get to experience driving the car.
Upon arriving at Putrajaya. Gather up, briefing, take pictures and mini picnic !
Becky trying to murder me !! No hands down the hill !!! if i die we know who to blame =P Becky my car no air bag wan ok !! no safety measure and all ! Not like the Honda Freed.
Paul Tan automotive blogger, i know him back during my high school days in a forum called Unlinked.net. A small community with great people, but this is the 1st time i actually meet him.
Becky trying to cook her self under the hot sun and with the car as a frying pan =P
A group picture with all the bloggers and the honda team.
1.5 Honda i-VTEC Engine that gives 118PS at 6,600rpm, 114Nm at 4,800rpm. The engine is mated with a CVT gearbox that comes with a torque converter as its startup device.
Overall i think the Honda Freed MPV is quite affordable for its price, price of the car is around RM115,00++. This Honda is to cater average income big family and equivalent to Toyota Inova or Toyota Avanza and compete with them. For me i own a Toyota Estima and is 7 years old already, i cant really compare that car with this, for the price difference and things we get the gap is quite big. For the price of this car i think is quite worth it. I still love my Estima more, spacious and more comfy, but price of a Estima is double the price of a Freed.
