Honda Airwave review for you

[Ushna]

Thank you Bro,
I have recently purchased Airwave 2008 with sky roof. Wonder if I can get a user manual for Airwave 2008. Have already google searched for the same but unable to find any. Can you help?

This review is for the visitors considering or wondering about Honda Air Wave which is now available as an option to us as a Japanese import car. A copy of this is also on my Facebook group "fraudulent car industry of Pakistan". The background information on this vehicle that I referred to before considering to buy this car is from Honda Airwave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .*
*
Honda Air Wave is a station wagon / family car with 5-seater capacity based on the Honda City / Fit concept. The plus points of this car vs the regular Corolla Gli, Honda City (automatic transmission) locally assembled in Pakistan are:
*
Japanese quality (yeah I know, quality is my biggest concern with Pakistani assembled cars).
City's 1500 cc i-VTEC engine (the one that came in the Steermatic which is no longer available in Pakistan).
Two CVT choices - 5 speed in the G trim while 7 speed in the L trim. The later is a lot more fun to drive and imho its the one to get.
60/40 split rear seat sink down gives you lots of storage room / cargo area.
You can also get skyroof option in the car (its like having a large sunroof running from the front to the rear passenger seats - have a look at its pictures).
The fuel economy is great - it does anything between 12.5 to 18 km/l . (I will report more details later if anyone is interested).
*
The negative points include:
*
Availability of spares (I am not talking about the filters etc but the front lights and the like. However these days you can get stuff very fast from outside the country when required).
Price - the market price at the moment is around 14 lac (simple grade), 16 lac (L grade) and 18 lac (L with skyroof and sports kit). So basically the price ranges between 14 to 18.
*
Consider buying this car if:
*
You prefer car quality.
You can take a bit of risk and dont care about spare parts as your number 1 option when buying a car (go for a local import if you do).
You love Honda and would like to consider a station wagon.
*
I am available to answer more questions if anyone is interested.

I would prefer Axio Fielder over Airwave as the fielder has better shape ,interior,CNG advantage,Parts are not problem and resale.And Toyota WISH over both as it got 1.8LItre engine with 7seating arrangement

[imrankw]

I now actually have both Toyota Fielder X 2006 and the Airwaves 2006 .. Each has their advantages over the other. Let me know if I can answer questions about them.

[BMW7Series]

its quiet pretty..

[arsi13]

[mudasr1]

[NOneed2speedd]

Love this car/wagon , but unfortunetly it is not going to be a succesful car in a country like Pakistan

Airwave is by far the most prettiest Station Wagon among all Station Wagons imported in Pakistan..

[mubeenshahid]

The only thing which worries me about jdm cars is that there is no future for them in Pakistan unless honda/toyota dealerships starts service and spare parts for them otherwise they are perfecy

Is Airwave more comfortable than Fielder? And is the average price of both the cars in a very good condition.

[h0ndaSx8]

No harsh feeling guys.. First of all Airwave's price in Pakistan is 13-16.5 lacks.. The car has a skyroof/panorama roof which can hold nd will not let sunlight heat rays upto 60 centigrade and it has ultra seat technology ability to choose between five different styles.. Performance is good too .. it does 0-100 in 10 secs using S mode.. Rocks on fuel consumption ..
Shape is a person's own preference.

hi everyone... HODNA AIRWAVE is a very nce car overall BUT it was disconnect and was STOPED being manufactured after 2008. So is it still wise to buy this car?... i mean since it was not geting manufactured after 2008 then also its parts must have also stopped geting manufactured..... so what u guys say?!?... and plus one more issue that goes for all the cars that one cannot import any car later then 2010... i asked one car dealer then what would be the price for 2010 1.8 toyota filder if i wana import. he said beczuse of 1.8 only 17 lacs is the duty and in the end it will cost u around 33 lacs!!!.... damn!!!

[aliayub]

corection!!!!.... Airwave was stopped manufactured in 2008....

[hamza_xeg]

no doubt that airwave is a decent car in all aspects, quite sporty and roomy.

[uzair321]

Brother its excellent mileage what were you expecting its not a kei car nearly 50kg heavy than a Reborn.

[defender786]

Another reason that Fielder or Pro box will be preferred over Air wave(sadly)would only be its CVT transmission.Unfortunately mostly here while planning to purchase even a 9M Rupee car ask for only one thing "Kya is mey CNG lag sakti hai?"
