Mazda 6 touring is the other wet dream lol only 30k more but interior space is actually comparable to only Civic.

Yeah saw that female SA there's also another guy that claimed he waited only two months for white RS... too bad I'm in Penang and we have limited dealerships here.

Congrats! Still waiting for my blue RS.. how long did you wait since booking?

The major selling point of the 6th gen CR-V is the hybrid drivetrain which is a lot more refined than the turbo CVT combo. The FC is a cherry on top. If I buy the V AWD I might as well get a 5th gen used for a better bargain. The hybrid drivetrain is the choice for most US buyers too (I’m in the CR-V subreddit). The only downside is this is a new setup for the CR-V, even though the i-MMD setup has been in the Civic for a while now; so there may be issues for first few batches until they fully iron out the kinks, but that’s an acceptable level of risk for me.

Anyone installed running board bought from Shopee? How's the quality? Looks like HM running board is RM2.6k which is insane.

I saw some RM500 some 700, not sure if there's real significant differences between those models or not. But in general they look quite identical (rubberized surface with some silver/gray aluminum color surrounding)

Oh yeah I saw that 299 one too. Looks identical to some of the 499 ones. Dang.

You tried to buy from HM? Is it to avoid voiding warranty or something else?

Does yours look like the original one from HM, or some other design?

Here's the one from my showroom branch demo car, supposedly ori HM.

The engine and CVT will still be noticeable on G6. I didn’t notice a huge difference between G5 & G6 tbh (test drive G5 used and family has G6 V spec). The CX-5 is noticeably quieter if comparing petrol variants only, but the back seat space is so cramped and was a deal breaker for me.

Looks good friend, thanks for sharing. RM600 including installation is not bad at all.

5 years for the car, 8 years for the hybrid battery. Unlimited mileage for both.

RM2000 rebate if anyone register their CR-V between 15th to 31st of August.

Anyone has steering rack issues on latest gen CR-V? It looks like quite a number of cars affected in the US (from Reddit) but idk if it affects our CKD models here?

Hopefully ours is improved version? I know the Civic FE ones they supposedly improved or something, but we’re still seeing lots of reports of bad racks lol.

In this thread and Malaysia CR-V groups I have yet to see a prominent number of complaints regarding the steering rack specifically…

Yeah me neither. Hopefully a good sign

Is this RS or V? Crazy.. 22 if for RS you'll wait till next year already, considering most branches get 2-3 RS per month only and not even guaranteed to be blue.

If you in Klang Valley you can consider placing booking other branches also if you're desperate.

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

Nice! Which color? Congrats on the new ride.

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!
