I would think hybrid excel in busy town slow speed driving. On high speed highway, the reverse is true.

When one mentioned highway, they always equate to high speed drive.

What about highway drive below 110km/h?
Actually hybrid excel at that speed coz EV mode are still being constantly activated during beloe 110km/h cruising or light footed driving.

Many including me nowadays drive at or below that speed with hybrid at busy highway like Kesas or even NKVE within Klang Valley.

How many km can it run on pure electric power?

With 1Kw battery max and the fact the EV battery never charge full, very difficult to measure.
Sometimes a few km, sometimes, 1 km, sometimes half a km.

It will charge up to certain extend, depending how we press pedal, it can switch to EV once there is enuf charges (can be a quarter or half full before switch to EV) and we are cruising aka light on pedal. If you accelerate more, it will remain in engine mode charging the battery. If you let go of pedal and then press lightly aka cruising without sudden acceleration, it will activate the EV mode when there is enuf charge and no spike in acceleration. Back and forth.

So if the speed is generally below 110km/h or so, while cruising, it will switch back and forth....when battery is full or have enuf charge. We can't really calculate mileage on pure electricity.
*
Then, range wise, Honda is not much different from Toyota's. Battery can only power for a few km.

So I reckon, for practically wise, plug in Hybrid will be the best for normal town use with range from 50 - 80 km per charge. I would reckon 90% of people only drive about that much km/day. So hardly use any petrol.

basically add more grease or take the excess grease from the existing rack then transfer it to the worm gear location. Change the end cap, also top up grease to it before install.
*
If need to pay out-of-pocket for basically greasing stuff, how much would that cost?

And I thought they have to change the whole thing?

That was the last time, change a whole steering rack parts. But still not tackling the main issues for the part. Now make grease top up as solution. Not sure is it a permanent fix?
*
so should new owner today demand whole rack change?

Checking with Honda website, mine is "steering kit" replacement. Don't know whether that is changing rack or just greasing. Any idea?

14k is quite a bit of wear, you can try to go any tyre shop to see if they'd take it. IMO even if you pay full price, the Primacy SUV+ is well worth it. I traded in the Toyo shit tyres on day one

How much roughly is the Primacy SUV+?

Changed primacy suv+ two weeks ago at Seremban shop, cheaper than the shops I found in semenyih and kl. 685 per piece or 2740, including alignment balancing. Best is the boss give me stainless steel tube and nuts for free, other place charge 60-80.

Primacy really much much  quiet compare to Toyo. But I feel the cornering performance and high speed driving is not as nice as Toyo. The primacy make my car feel higher, it is "thicker" compare to Toyo. If can, wait for Primacy 5. Not available yet for CRV

Yours 2WD or AWD?

May be new tires need running in?

One reason I opted for 2WD is because I think AWD will be like a 2WD with Econ mode on. Just my guess because I never driven both back to back to test.

Wonder if there's anywhere that we can trade in tyres. Feel like getting the primacy suv, with only 14k on my current toyo.

Mine 15K. How many km do you think it will last before needing replacement.

Ya, maybe need some time for running in.

Not sure about current model, las time with Gen5, most of their test drive unit were AWD. I did test drive both, AWD feel better but slightly slower than 2Wd in acceleration. End up my wife choose 2wd turbo since the agent said AWD tyre finish faster and with higher fc.
*
Please do elaborate more on "AWD feel better". I have always has the impression AWD only better if you drive like a F1 driver and superiority can not be felt for normal town or even highway drive.

As for tires, if one is damaged, you may not be able to just change that one tire. Ideally, you may have to change all 4. Going to be expensive.

Hard to explain in details bro, lol. But that time I test drive at Honda PJ, my SA bring me go up to federal highway, fastest went up to 120kmh only, not very fast. The biggest difference btw Awd and 2wd is that when u drive AWD go through corner, the car feel much more stable, and I can even increase speed, as my SA ask me to do so, lol, although the car will still have body roll like awd, but u can "feel" the rear wheel really help the car stick on the line, and make the car easier to turn. On straightline no much difference, but for acceleration, definitely 2wd turbo is faster.

Not sure whether have to change 4 tyres together when one is damaged, but I think even if driving 2wd, if the other three tyre condition is poor, might as well just change all. But one thing for sure AWD tyre wear out faster, my SA told me most AWD buyer are uncle, even they drive slow, max can tahan until 35k km, usually 25-30k km the tyre will be finished
*
A simple Google will tell you the problem with replacing just 1 tires on any AWD vehicle. Because of the difference in overall diameter of the 4 tires should you replace just 1 semi-old damaged tire.

Cut & paste: While replacing only one tire on an AWD Honda is possible in some cases, it's generally recommended to replace tires in pairs (front or rear) or as a full set to maintain optimal AWD system performance and prevent potential drivetrain issues.

Then there is the question of warranty. Will Honda void your warranty if they found 1 tire diameter is different and your drivetrain got damaged. I just don't want potential headache. One big reason I opted for 2WD

G6 is better than g5, especially rear seat space

psssttt...im only 27 maaa...still muda..hehehehe

anyway IMHO, having a 4wd otr is more into sense of security where it will provide more traction as and when required. between 4wd and 2wd, for driving experience i will go for 4wd, but for pocket will go for 2wd.

I once tried a 1.5T AWD and the pick up was unacceptable. So I went 2WD

Based on my experience, the traction is not there when we at stand still, the pick up is bad
Its only come after the tire rolling,

I have never come across anyone saying the AWD pick up is bad.

So I thought the 1.5T AWD that I tried must be a defective unit with unacceptable take-off from standstill.

could it be Honda tuned the ECU to not aggressive start-up acceleration to protect the CVT gb?

I think the 1.5T simply doesn't have enough power to do a quick pick up. Otherwise, how come the 2WD is OK but the AWD I tried was pretty bad?
