The reason why we got it is that its not only fuel efficient, there is also a big boot space even with the CNG (compressed natural gas) tank installed.
It looks like a MPV but it's not. Anyway, we have no intention of buying one because we feel that a 7-seater car is not useful as I have asked around and those who got 7-seater car all end up not using the back 2 seats. So, in the end, they use a 7-seater car as a normal 5-seater car and moreover, a 7 seater car does not have a big boot space. So I would rather get a bigger boot space for a 5-seater car that looks like an MPV.
Another thing good about Honda Airwave is the flexibility of the seats.
Here is what I mean..
And this is the dashboard interior..
Initially, I was worried about putting a CNG tank behind the car as we thought it is quite unsafe since its a gas tank. However, the newspaper recently reported that it is even safer than a petrol tank.
Another thing is that each time you fill up the whole tank with gas, it will costs only $10. So, its so much cheaper than petrol. And just by clicking on a button, you can easily switch your car to run on petrol.
One thing good about the shop we went is that there is not extra charge if we pay the car in full amount straight up. Usually, shops would want to earn extra commission from the charging of interest when we pay by instalments so they would charge about $2000 more if we have the amount to pay all upfront. But this particular shop we went to doesnt have this requirement. So we are able to pay up full amount witho no extra charge/interest.
The car should be arriving sometime in March/April. Am pretty excited about it but not as much since I wont be the one driving it as often.Sobsob!
