Just got my car! Very happy with it

I took a basic llumar. The SA applied it at Honda itself for 1k

Done only 30kms today. Some observations...

1. The side mirror doesn't fold when the engine is off. Not even on accessories power mode. The engine has to be on.

2. Drive is good. Lots of power. A bit hesitant off the line at traffic light, but maybe it's just me.

3. Suspension - hard on slow speeds. Well sorted on speeds. Car set up is really low. It hits you when you are side by side with a axia and all you see is that fellas door.

4. Speed bumps - it's alright for 2pax. No chance of scrapping. Not even sharp bumps.

5. Audio sounds soso... Loving the integration with Android auto. Turn by turn highlighted on dashboard which was quite cool.

6. A bit of poison for TC-P fence sitters... I saw one waiting to be collected today at the showroom. The led headlamps are just amazing. Had me second guessing my choice when compare side by side.

Will post more observations over the coming days

I downloaded the apk. It works well. Officially not yet available in Malaysia.

The US version has a sub. We don't. Bad on mids and bass. Will see how to tweak it tomorrow

Maybe. But I'm always on auto brake hold. I'm not too bothered about it. Don't expect to be doing drag races with this fella

I bought mine from kah motors selayang. If you are buying a car I can intro you to my SA. She's really top notch

Already quite stiff on low speeds bro. Steering a tad lighter on speeds tho

Yes, you can adjust when you want it to lock / unlock!

You can set it to lock at certain speeds, or lock when you shift from P

Congratulations on your new ride!

Personally, I think the first batch is technically the best batch to buy (for CKD cars at least).

> Top team leads will be selected to work on the car
> Japanese specialist supervising every step of the production
> Tedious QC check processes guided by specialist at every production stage-gate

In terms of assembly, the first batch will be the best. The worst case scenario is that they have probably taken your car apart a couple of times and redone it till its perfect.

Usually the parts that fail is the manufactured bits - i.e. small springs etc. which was certainly not produced for the first time, but this should be within the control limits - maybe 1% small defects - it's bound to happen on any batch.

It'll auto off bro.

If you are concerned, you can actually change the settings from the HU.
> you can set the timer a bit faster to auto off or just cancel the function altogether

Potential Android Auto issue


Experience:
> My phone & HU failed to connect via Android Auto. But Bluetooth was ok - over the last 2 days.
> It says phone not found / unable to connect with phone. Phone was charging fine, but not not communicating with HU
> I tried everything, reinstall AA, change version, reset phone to factory settings, reset car HU - nothing works
> Today, I found a potential solution after trying everything for 2 days

Potential reason it happens:
>I was driving with AA on - when I shutdown the car, the AA was still connected, but when I started the car again later, I did not plug in my phone before the car started - this led to some kind of software error on the HU.

Potential solution
> Reinstall AA on your phone
> Start up your car, and reboot your car's HU - by holding down the power button until it asks if you want to reboot
> When the HU rebooted, plug your phone back in and run AA as per normal

Prevention
> Press menu button to exit AA before shutting down the car
> Plug in phone before starting the car to be safe

I'm still testing this solution. So far it's working. I'll be monitoring this and updating over the coming days.

He's just giving road users exactly what they want - a good long look at his ride

Attention hog

I haven't tried fetching 3pax behind. But honestly the suspension is hard on low speeds so should be OK.

My base of comparison is that this car has higher clearances than a prius and the prius suspension is made of jelly so go fast enough sure scrape. If suspension was stiffer like this car should be fine.

Don't whack bumps at speeds anyway.

Same here. Need to do 1k service / 1month service.

Free labour only

Anyway, my boot also no squeak.

Thanks bud

Ahhh sorry to hear that. I really hope we don't have to go through the same pains...

What I meant by my statement applies to first batch for the assembly process, especially as this car is an all new design, all new engine, as opposed to a facelift (which does not require specialized teams, nor additional training to assemble) and certain car models that carry modular parts - like a engine that was built and used in a previous model

Ouch. Rush job for demo I guess. I was really looking out for such gaps when I was collecting the car. Heard a lot of horror stories with the hrv when it first launched.

Good site. Thanks bro. I bookmarked it
