Vezel Hybrid - to buy or not to buy

Post by cousin » Tue May 23, 2017 7:38 pm

Hi All,

I'm considering buying the Vezel Hybrid RS and was advised against it because of the maturity of Honda's i-DCD gearbox (dry clutch) and the number of recalls (due to electronics/ software isuses etc) to-date for the hybrid version. I believe the last recall (number 4 or 5) was in early/ mid 2016 but there was none thereafter. The other concern I have is the hybrid battery - I've heard from the grapevine that the battery pack in the Vezel does not operate optimally even when the car is new. Is that true? I'd appreciate any advice and opinion from folks in this forum, especially those who are current owners of MY15/ MY16 models. Need to know what to lookout for and which dealership to buy from - afterall, post sale service is another criteria/ concern in my decision making. I won't consider the 1.5 CVT variant due to the lack of driving engagement. Many thanks in advance.
