Anyone add the package with door visor, side step and rear bumper protector? I wonder what is the protector. Anyone can share? Thanks.

It's an additional layer on the top surface of the rear bumper. It's function is to avoid scratches and other accidental damages when you are loading stuff into the trunk space

You are welcome @auronthas and @voncrane. Happy to answer any queries anyone have but I am not a car expert, so can't really give any technical details. But everyday man's feel, sure.
*
Read your blog review and would appreciate some insights.
*Any particular reasons to avoid the TCP variant? We are tempted to get the top spec cuz Honda Sensing, etc.. But debating if we'll use such extra features regularly enough to justify the added costs.
*How's noise levels inside the cabin at city speeds and highway speeds. I read on FB that it's noisy from 100km/h?
*Bluetooth phone connectivity? Performance? Calls clarity? Mic sounds pickup comfortable?
*I alternate between podcasts, radio stations and hi-res music on phone storage. Mainly podcasts. So how's the speakers? Voice/speech clarity levels in particular. In your previous review, you mentioned it lacked bass. So there's that.
*Had the chance to lug around 4 fully grown adults... Power still sufficient for zippy overtaking and hill climbs?
*Lastly, the front sensors. I'm also coming from an older vehicle and want a relatively easy to maneuver vehicle for the missus.. So front parking sensors is a must. How's the one on the CRV? Particularly in regards to road side kerbs, those low ones that one has to park perpendicular/angled lines. It's performance here is a make or break deal for us.

Thanks and feel free to addon to the above...

I don't think it's wise to addon the door visor as that will result in more wind noise.

2.45% - should be around $1900/month.

I learned from SA that the Honda Sensing thingy is only applicable when the car is in cruise mode. Meaning long drive along PLUS highway or if you drive to Cyber often. I don't do that, so I didn't think it's worth buying.

I've been on LDP in PJ only not on any highway long enough to do > 100kmh. But at 90kmh it is very quiet. City speeds is extremely quiet as well. If you look at the bottom near the exhaust part and along the tyres, there are some sound proofing done. Some materials that was used.

Can't comment on Bluetooth as I'm using CarPlay. But mic pickup is very good. Very clear according to the missus whom I spoke to daily. The children at the back sometimes talk to their mother and the mic was able to pick their voices as well.

Speakers damn good. There are 4 speakers and 4 tweeters. 8 in total. Maybe that's the reason it lacked bass. Podcast is very clear, no issue.

Don't have chance to take 4 grown adults yet. Will let you know more.

I really like the front sensors. It helps a lot. I'm not sure if it can detect road kerbs though as I think it's not "pointing downwards". Worth to observe. But it can detect my plant leaves. Ha ha. I should take a picture of the front sensor in the 7" screen. There's like 4 spots it's Sensing, so I thought it's pretty good at covering all angles.

I googled that picture. Not my car.
I'd think you can get that protector from one of the Honda accessories package. I didn't think it was necessary.

Unless Waze supports CarPlay, I'm not sure how else you can make it work without jailbreaking.

Didnt think about the wind noise. as my current car has it, so, i think it's normal to have it.

better dont add then as it is not cheap also.

I do a fair bit on the highway. It'd be nice to set and forget at cruising speeds and in traffic too. Nevertheless, must try it in person before purchasing to really get its worth. Seen a couple owners reviews abroad that say it's finicky at best. Mazda's Iactivsense fares better.

I've been on LDP in PJ only not on any highway long enough to do > 100kmh. But at 90kmh it is very quiet. City speeds is extremely quiet as well. If you look at the bottom near the exhaust part and along the tyres, there are some sound proofing done. Some materials that was used.
Yeah, noticed the soundproofing materials as well, and if I remember correctly, the spare tire area is also covered with it. Though in the 1.5tcp I inspected, it wasn't nicely camouflaged or covered. Please update when you've had the chance.

Can't comment on Bluetooth as I'm using CarPlay. But mic pickup is very good. Very clear according to the missus whom I spoke to daily. The children at the back sometimes talk to their mother and the mic was able to pick their voices as well.
This is great news... I plan on using Android Auto.. As long as the mic has decent gain and level..  thumbup.gif

Much appreciated.. I also think that may not be detecting downward obstacles..

If you do find out any more pros and cons, please return to update. Keep them manufacturers on their toes. biggrin.gif

I actually prefer the no faux wood panels on the 2.0 variant. Was actually my first complaint about the vehicle when I went to see it in person. But it's definitely the 1.5t engine for me. But yeah, the interior is quite improved over the previous gen.. Wasn't expecting that as we took one look at the previous gen earlier this year and ruled it out immediately. Shifted to the CX-5 instead. So good on Honda this time. Here's to hoping that the cars being rolled out of the factory are continually subjected to high quality standards.

Nah, Waze only just supported Android Auto. Fairly certain that they'd be working on releasing for CarPlay.. Releasing for Android first is expected cuz well market share and owned by Google.. Have more access etc.

I got 2.49% from RHB. Loan tenure 7 years. If 5 years might get better rate.

I went for test drive last week in terengganu. The SA over there quite nice to me and let me test all the sensing and everything else. I am currently driving lexus is 250. My first impression, the new honda crv really awesome. The honda sensing itself worth the buy. The noise level of course not at the same par with my lexus, but still better than most cars. Emergency brake and braking distance are excellent. The body will slightly going ?downward, so make sure everyone in the car fastent their seat beltnas emergency braking will throw them out thru fws. Handling while braking is good. 1.5tcp engine can easily reach 100km in no time.

My loan already approved, currently waiting for tender result VAW to be released end of august. Sigh. Booked my car at HNZ glenmarie

Hi,
Just got my CR-V last saturday from HZN and unfortunately no discount, no even the intoducer commission. Should have read this thread earlier for discounts but I've already made booking since last May.
I bought the 1.5 TCP.
Yes, the ride is noisy due to the tire. After reading this thread, I'll check the pressure after work.

What disappoint me is that there is no built- in GPS(navigation) or is there one?
merci

Hi,
Another thing, is it worth doing the car coating/detailing eg coat the paint with mica or glass coating.?Some detailers offer at RM2K+ up to RM5K+
