My personal experience

I have experience as a passenger (Grab) and driving a rental CX5 for 1 week in Langkawi

As a passenger I prefer CRV
As a driver I prefer CX5

I hope G6 will provide better driver experience than my G5

For RS.
done 4 tanks todate.
city average 800km for full tank 96-100rm 95ron. fill at red notification. 18km/l
highway 750km during cny jam. 17km/l

Im an owner of a cx5, waiting for my RS. The interior of the CX5 is just too small for the body size, very small bootspace too. Handling is subjective, its still taller than a sedan but is responsive i.e it goes where you want it to go, slight understeer in corners (i think all suv has that due to the higher centre of gravity). A slight regret as well as the cx5 has a pretty outdated infotainment system.

I'm all for the size of CRV, the new RS is much more refined in comfort and handling, not just comparing with the CX5 but also with the CRV G5.

you guys are inching me away from placing booking on the RS.

I decided to get the ICE 2WD. At a price difference of RM30K, can buy a lot of petrol and on highway, the ICE drives better.

Or may use that toward buying a small EV for town use when prices goes down further. These pure EV seems to have even better acceleration than RS.

alamak, u pour cold water to my itch

ICE meaning Espec? I did not test drive the Espec, how is the handling compared to RS?

Only briefly driven the RS so take my opinion with a pinch of salt.

In town, noise mainly comes from the tires and I did not notice the RS having less tire noise.

At slow steady acceleration, of course the RS has no engine noise so quieter and more powerful. But if you accelerate hard, RS have this fake engine noise to make it sound like an ICE. Don't know why Honda wants to do that

At above legal speed on highway, I read, the RS's 2.0 NA engine starts to take over and it has less power than the 1.5T's. So the ICE is better

At idle, obviously the RS is better. This ICE seem to have above average idling vibration, even compared to other ICE.

So overall, the RS is better but IMO, not worth the extra 30K. Thinking of using the saving towards a small EV later. The EV hands down beats the RS in acceleration. The 1st time I tried an EV, my jaws dropped.

Are you saying, the G6 handles better than the CX5? That is a big leap for Honda.

Thats the thing, its subjective. My preference now is comfort and thats what the G6 gives me, as compared to the "ruggedness" of the CX5, hence it handles better for me.

nowdays we call ice is enjin car (various spec).
ev is battery car.

I think he meant ICE got 3 spec however there are really 2 ICE specs that are relevant, the E-Spec and V-Spec. Which ICE spec?

Recently start to see more and more CRV G6 on the road.i think they must have ramped up production. In my apartment already got 3 units. Last Sunday within 1 hour already saw 3 units on the road. Blue, white and grey are most common so far.

The G6 design really looks great.

Ah still waiting for my G6 to arrive, booked it since last year but always no luck getting it. My SA did say that it might arrive later this month. Fingers crossed.

Still no updates from my SA. Wonder whats the bottleneck in the production.

While i collecting my V yesterday, 2 RS being delivered as well from same branch
Then when I go do tinting, meet another new RS white color doing tinting

And while installing my plate number, meet 1 CX5 new facelift owner, initially booked RS since Jan change his order to mazda

Terbalik now,, last time waiting period for Mazda is long,, now buyer change to mazda for fast delivery

I dont know is it due to demand or still shortage of chips..

At my V Specs seat plastic sticker saw that my production date from kilang is 22 Mar, delivered to showroom 2 Apr

Same with me.change from rs to CX8.my SA simply could not give me the availability date.

Great choice,,

But a little bit sad.my first car is Honda City than upgrade to Civic.Hoping to upgrade to CRV but no stock.
