Comments:
Honda Freed launched by PT. Honda Prospect Motor (HPM) in mid 2009. At the beginning of launch itself, Freed booked sales figures are pretty fantastic. Marketed by CKD by HPM, Indonesia became the second production base after Japan Freed.

Taking an equal basis with his brother, the Honda Jazz (GE8), at first glance it looks no different with the characteristic short bonnet. He looked like the Jazz are elevated and extended. The engine is the same, except that if the Jazz has a power output of 120bhp and 145Nm of torque, Freed has a smaller output 2bhp, namely 118bhp but torque increased to 146Nm 1Nm.

Honda is synonymous with cars - cars with attractive designs and attractive. Freed himself brought the concept of triangle + box, to present interesting design but does not sacrifice functionality. Even so, the design Freed considered quite controversial by some parties, because most people do not taste.

Entry into the cabin space, Freed implement a dual-layer dashboard is shaped like a table. In the "table" dashboard, there are the AC button and lever transmission. The air conditioning seemed quite old-fashioned keys, because the lever is shaped like a gas stove. However, the model 2010, HPM has made a minor change to replace the AC model of the "stove" to digital. On the second line, the space feels spacious and luxurious cabin with seating captain seat model. Third row is a bit cramped for tall people> 170cm and weight> 70kg. But for people of medium size, seem to feel quite roomy thanks to a high headroom. Practicality is also offered through Power Sliding Doors as luxurious as the Toyota Alphard MPV.

When tested the performance of the engine, he was like Jazz which is overloaded, but the hallmark of the engine is no different. Pull down a rather bolot, but powerful at the top attraction. Torque was adequate to serve traffic stop-and-go. He was quite agile meandering in the city, yet comfortable enough dings suspension although a bit hard on the streets of "bumpy". Light wheel, but began to feel heavy at high speeds to maintain stability.

I think the tagline "New Generation Family Car" is not just a sentence, but really intended for the modern family is pretty well established.
