QUOTE(KingArthurVI @ Aug 21 2024, 05:43 PM) Damn that's crazy. Personally I cannot imagine waiting 22 blues in front of me... from my Penang SA blue is the most popular color so maybe can consider changing to less popular color like the dark gray actually not bad. I'm 3rd in line now for blue for my branch  I saw quite a numbers of silver in kl. quite nice !

Blue getting boring, much like last season color or copy BMW. The CRV new silver is New, kind of like a galaxy night silver. Definitely easier to maintain then dark blue.

QUOTE(thankyou @ Aug 22 2024, 05:13 AM) Same here, never thought silver is nice. I think it's because it's paired with black grill/wheels that's why it's nice I always pick a color that is relatively maintenance-free and that is silver. Car should serve me and not the other way around. Have the silver for over 1/2 yrs now and sometimes it looks more like solid color grey than metallic silver. As for the black grill. In fact, I like it more than the full body colored RS. It "break" up the line nicely.

Ride is so smooth while on battery, idling theres nothing to feel. Can hear the transition to engine when the car needs the power, but nothing obtrusive at all. Loving the space and bose speakers as well!

Yeah the serenity of an EV at low speeds and then not having to worry about charging… that’s what sold me during the test drive. It was super silent in the cabin since the soundproofing was pretty good without the CVT whine and the engine roar of 1.5T. Enjoy your ride!

Yeah man, and using paddle or B mode to increase regen was quite fun and felt good when it charges up your hybrid battery so during red light the engine is completely off. No sound and harsh vibration at all.

No sound and harsh vibration at all. so during idle, does the air conditioning running at normal mode ? didn't notice this . also didn't pay attention to the bose speakers. Was too into the performance of the car.  Also didn't notice that there was a 'head up display'.

Yes it runs at normal speed with full cooling capabilities available, not like the stupid start-stop idling in other brands that cut off cooling This post has been edited by KingArthurVI: Aug 25 2024, 04:25 PM

Those EV are like that, instant torque. Was considering a smaller EV as 2nd car for town use to complement the 1.5T CRV for outstation.

Sometimes they off the HUD function due to people complaining it is distracting their driving.
