They said they requested help from an engineer in the Honda HQ in Guadalajara, but he told them that this was normal, as the engine is very small.

In my experience the car has very good power when the battery is charged and the electric motor is on. When it has no battery the gas engine is very small to power the car alone. Maybe it's due to the difference between American an Mexican models. I still have very good milleage.

Thanks for your reply.
