Honda Civic Hybrid owner claims defects in IMA system

One of the issue that consumer will ask when considering a green hybrid car is on the batter lifespan and of course the battery replacement cost. Our government was generous enough when the giving a tax free on hybrid below 2.0cc and we can expect the same tax structure will continue next year.

If 1 year ago, Prius, Insight or Lexus CT200h hardly been seen on our roads, with the new tax structure we can see them everyday. Last week, I guess many has heard that one angry Honda Civic Hybrid owner claims defect on the IMA system. Eventhough, the case has not been settled yet, but this I hope can trigger the government at least to force the manufacturer to provide longer warranty on the system just like what the offer to other market such as UK and US.

Lets we wait and see the result of this…. - blog e-kereta
