What the... lol they launch new cars and the e:HEV versions but maybe those don't sell too well so the production line is 99% dedicated to the petrol variants. Man, what a letdown.

I'll still go ahead with the test drive next week for RS e:HEV but if the wait is longer than 4 months I'll probably just sit this one out for a while since my old Civic FC 2018 is still okay.

i think ehev gets more parts outside malaysia, battery, motor, all those. And yeah less ppl buy but they now no more like civic rs, got rs petrol and non petrol and very much diff also the spec wise. So probably wanna make ppl shift to hybrid more. I think the worse is hrv ehev and v spec is like almost no diff accessories wise lol. I see crv very much diff. I can say the ehev engine is really well designed and drive much better and comfort. No feel vibration at all when driving. But idle when engine kicks in will like normal car idling la. Only idle can feel. If car creeping also wont feel engine kick in.

Havent test drive crv but i believe shud be much more comfort, but i dont like suv driving anyway, too floaty not my type, especially at sarawak small town here the road is uneven, really feel like driving boat. If sedan at least not floaty but drive fast just feel very rough and risk underbody kena scratch lol.

Probably next time send car service test drive crv rs.

I agree on all your points on hybrid drivetrain. Malaysians are allergic to hybrid so maybe that’s why they don’t sell well here but so many foreign reviews like US and AU they all recommend getting the hybrid version because it’s so much more refined and is a class above the petrol variants. I think it’s nice that HM is throwing all the specs at us too aside from a proper blind spot monitoring system but I can accept that.

Malaysian petrol is cheap.

And if you read carefully what some reviewers are saying, they are saying Turbo drive better than Hybrid on higher speed highway. I have briefly tried Hybrid and I agree. Since I do drive long distance, I am not comfortable with lack of spire tire.

In town and fuel consumption, of course the Hybrid is better

Having the G6 turbo for a few months already, things I nit pick are:
1. At red light idling, there is more vibration compared to other cars
2. The seats cushion are too thin for long distance.
3. I prefer to set front tires from 35 psi to 34 psi

Thats why i think honda put 2.0 engine with the hybrid,, to accomodate highway speed fuel consumption
If you ask me,, RS pulling factor for me to purchase is not really the hybrid battery, for my personal POV is 2.0 NA engine that comes with the hybrid system

I choose and booked hybrid initially, but same reason with you that this car is only for my long hway drive,, then i go to v specs

I was torn between the better pick up speed of the E spec vs the "supposedly" better cornering stability of the V spec. Never got the chance to try the V spec myself. I would only assume the power of the V spec would be like an E spec with ECO mode on.

Power is the same,
For cornering what do you expect from an SUV,, even with AWD, like my few post above,, not much significant,,
And how many time we do cornering with SUV, this feature is just nice to have

Check YS Khong YT driving VSpec at Balik Pulau,, you need to drive like him only to feel it

From Honda's brochure. 0-100kph.
Hybrid is 9.0 sec
E is 9.8 sec
V is 10.4 sec

Petrol cheap but I won’t qualify for the subsidy if the gov chooses to remove it eventually. And I live on Penang island so it’s city driving 100% in my use case, which is why I’m attracted towards the hybrid variant.

Bummer (lol) to hear about the seat cushion thing… maybe can choose to add some padding like a padded cushion?

Anyone knows if CRV comes with wiper cap? I went for 1000 km inspection, and they told me that the wiper cap is missing. I don't even notice if there is wiper cap comes with the car or not all these while

Wiper cap? The one that cover the wiper screw?
Can you explain more,, front or rear.?

Front wiper arm, is there any protection casing?

My G6 wiper

Is the arm look like this?

Yes

Okay thanks, then I think the person in sc has made a mistake

Its like that because the windshield washer is attached to the wiper arm

The round thing is the cover for a nut. Easily missing, but that part is cheap and sometimes the SC just replace it for u for free(at least for my Service center that I frequently go)
