The all new Honda Freed – a Yummy Mummy’s review

I test drive Honda’s new compact MPV, Freed with 32 other Advertlets bloggers about a week ago. It was great fun!
A day out in the all new Freed was held at SOULed OUT where we got together with the internationally prominent auto blogger Paul Tan. We were grouped in fours and fives each in a Freed, and drove in a convoy from Hartamas to Putrajaya.  That was no problem at all because Freed can fit up to 7 people!

I was in a sleek gray Freed with the oh so fabulous Hafiz Cutecarry Mustapha, Ridzuan Richie, Hafiz and ops sorry dear I forgot your name!

That guy in red is Paul Tan! I was supposed to receive a gift too but I went back early! boohoo! pics by mynjayz.com

I have to say this new MPV is just like any other Honda – is packed with style! I love it. It’s really sleek and doesn’t look bulky but the enterior is super spacious!

Being a Yummy Mummy I feel like this car is a complete must any family with 3 or more members.
Performance wise, the Freed carries a powerful 1.5L 118PS i-VTEC engine with Shift Hold Control and Grade Logic Control for an exhilarating driving performance. I have no problem driving it, after all it is no sports car and made exactly as a family transporting MPV, not for speeding! But one thing I really admire about Freed is its small turning radius!

Dudeee.. I can make a complete u-turn with only one hand on the wheel! This is so awesome! I can put on my mascara with one hand and drive with another! How cool is that?? Eh.. I mean I wanna change the gear with one and drive with another! Takkanlaaa I nak pakai mascara masa drive… kan bahaya tu.. hehehe *ops*

After all safety has always been my number one concern in contemplating the cars of my choice after how diva it makes me look while driving. Freed has dual airbag – a must!! If your husband wants to get a car with one airbag only! Say no! He is looking forward for wife number two, I am telling ya!! It is a conspiracy! Imagine in case of accident, your driving husband will saved by the airbag dan KO MAMPUS SORANG-SORANG NYAHHH!! Apa ertinya ini??? Amboihh! Hmmph!

In view of Miki, Freed has a great feature called Automatic Sliding Doors with Anti-Pinch which generally means the door won’t kepit you! Ok? This is awesome super hyper kiddoes like my lil Miki. Freed’s door is also only 410mm from the ground with grip handles to make it easier for kids to get on board.  The doors open to a “walkthrough cabin” that has four “captain chairs” for the first two rows and third row seats that fold up sideways. Captain chairs are great because they are compatible with all baby car seats, so there is no need for you to buy new car seat to suit your new car.

41omm off the ground! sportyyyy!

Really spacious!

All the space you could ever need! Great for blogging on the go!

hahaha! I loike this pic!

Among other things that make Freed excellent for a family ride is its huge walkthrough Cabin with a 200mm walkway for easy access; its big cargo capacity and its many compartments for keeping knick-knacks and stuff.

Priced at Rm112,ooo on the road. I’d say Freed is an excellent buy! After all it’s a Honda.
