Why not you tell the forumners here that your Sylphy 2.0L could achieve 14km/L in city traffic beating almost any B and C segment with smaller engines. Or you want to invite edthrax here to say his X-Gear without VVT yet tuned to generate 150Nm@4400rpm with vehicle weight of 1160kg + 4AT gearbox could achieve 15km/L.

Let's see what they'll say. Other forumners, if you wanted to know more, please check their comments on N brand thread. Their gang members been claiming exaggerated FC claim that could beat even hybrid and diesel powered engines.


Sinkalen jayraptor, please keep this thread clean ok!!! This is about the Honda Freed. Don't hijack every thread for your propaganda will you.

I bought a Honda Freed recently. It handles kampong road very well and really suitable for city and the traffic jam.
I am quite happy with it.

But when i drive it after driving my Camry i feel it is lacking in grunt or rather making too loud engine revving noise when driving uphill. The feeling gets worse after i drive another car, a Mercedes e240.


The e240 is the best refined performer for me But the nephews and nieces love the Freed the most!! Sometimes, they don't want to get out at home!

What can I do to reduce the engine noise intrusion when accelerating? Please

You are comparing a Group A/B car with Group C/D car. Definitely there will be big difference in terms of NVH.

Also, the engine performance is also big different between your comparison. Hence, you will feel the lack of speed, torque and feel.

Like others suggest, for the performance, remember it is a 1.5L NA engine and expect the pickup like a city/vios.
For the noise, goto accessories shop to install padding/shield for the engine bay, firewall, doors, etc. Also, try not to rev too high, as its engine performance is half (or less) of your Camry and Merc.

Freed like Jazz/Yaris is inflated product by T & H here. With ur expectation u shld hv consider real-deal like 5008/G-Scenic etc. smile_thumbup.gif

Maybe you shuld see the FREED inside layout, for me its better than 5008/G-Scenic, 2 sliding rear power door some more..after all they are same category mid size MPV's

tak banyak on the road, at 120 - 140 kph, it jump up and down and sway left to right and back forth again, driver movement or car auto swaying movement? dont know never drive or ride on it b4?
But still a good car to many, it will seel, but in Indonesia banyak on the road.
