All New Honda Freed!

A big thank you to Honda, Paul Tan and Advertlets for the opportunity of test driving the new Honda Freed! 32 bloggers were given a chance to each drive the new Honda Freed yesterday. Meeting point was at Souled Out, Desa Sri Hartamas.

Overall, the 'Day Out in the All New Freed' event was great fun! It was like playing with a new toy with lots of people around~! At least, we all had a chance to drive, touch and feel the new Freed!

Licence to test drive!

Like with all Automatic cars, pick up is comparatively slow as compared to a Manual. (shoot me, I still love driving a Manual car! =P) Gotta love the smooth ride though. Going through uneven roads were not so bad on my heavy bladder!! LoL!!

Front view

Nice exterior front...


Got that tight waist sexy back!

In my opinion, the design of the car is rather darn cute. Though the back and a funny curve! Like a female body, tighter on the waist!! LoL!! I love the automatic sliding door for the back seats!! I remember having trouble shutting the sliding door of a MPV before! The usual complain I get is, "See! Never eat enough, no strength to close the door!" BrrrRRR~!

There is enough space inside for everything! Drink holders, side door compartments and not forgetting the convertible back row into a cargo space!! Sadly, no separate a/c control for the back. A/c is only from the front! Malaysia damn hot wei... Not fun~ But the a/c goes down to 19 degree Celcius. So, it will take some time for cool air to reach the back. =)

What is Honda Freed?

Its a premium compact MPV for families or if you ask me.. event companies could really use one like this too! Freed is able to fit 7 passengers or you can convert the back seat into a cargo space to load and unload stuff!


What's under the hood?

The Freed utilises a 1.5 litre i-VTEC engine which is suppose to lower fuel consumption. It has a maximum power of 118PS (87kW/6,600rpm) and maximum torque of 146 Nm/4,800rpm.

What about the structure?

It has a high rigidity structure and a great suspension system for better handling and stability on the road. The Freed has a 5.2 turning radius which makes it easy to manoeuvre on narrow roads. Automatic sliding doors? Want?? I want!!

Interior wise?

Blue light dashboard with bar graphs and meters!



Dual layer dashboard and double DIN stereo!


Foot brake! No handbrake!!

Spacious! It has a multi layer meter cluster displaying bar graphs and meters. A double DIN stereo is also included with a USB port!! Looking for the handbrake was funny! Josh panicked! LoL! It is placed on the lower left of the driver below the steering wheel. Not forgetting SRS airbags for added safety! For Touch n Go card users, you now have a special space just for your card. In the glove comparment.

Selling price?

To cut things short.. the On-the-Road price with Insurance = RM 112,980.00

Does it come with different features?

There are accesories to compliment the Freed such as tailgate spoiler, door visor and fog light which will be added cost to a total of RM 115,180.00

All in all we had lots of fun! Each Freed was provided with a Polaroid Camera for us to take pictures and instantly have a physical copy of em! It was also used for Group Photo competition and Individual Photo competition. We had lots of fun with it. We had lots of left over films though! Haha~! Gotta love the goodie bag and snack packs!

New method of sun tanning!

Happy me with the all new Honda FREED!!

If you're looking for a new family car or a company car, why not take a look at this? Its spacious enough for a big family and sleek enough for a company car that requires transporting some goods in the back. =)

Check em new Freed at any Honda showroom!
