CRV is using real time AWD. it will distribute the power to rear tyre only when needed to.

only once i allow the fuel indicator to light up , if not mistaken at that time the remaining distance stated 60km. i expecting the indicator will light up at 0KM remaining distance and im still able to drive appx 60km, or a bit more after that. however it behave differently. it light up at remaining distance 60km and because of no station, have to drive until it become remaining 5km only manage to refill.

normally i will refill when the fuel down to the last 3 bars, or the remaining distance less than 200km. dont want to mess with the petrol pump.

the 20km assumption, we dont know when it will start to be consumed, it is right after the light on, or perhaps earlier? is the consumption similar as our normal drv since its almost at the last drop?

these questions scares me

17.9km/l for heavy footer is quite good i say. easily can get average 700km or even more

to my feeling, the 2.0 atkinson engine kick in feeling quite significant during idle.
however when driving didnt notice at all. only hear the engine sound.

ya ya..just during the engine start

i have good experience with Sri Utama Setapak and Autoworld Sg Buloh.
As much as possible, will try to avoid HZN glenmarie

what is ur criteria of choosing a ride? budget/satisfaction/resale value?

IMHO:
if budget, go for E
if satisfaction, go for V or RS
if resale, go for V. i believe V have better resale value. RS will drop due to the hybrid battery.

have u try to change the source to BT?
anyway what u mean by BT music? so far, i can play my BT music, from my song folder in the phone with connected AA and BT is on.

seriously?? normal mode is already enuff for me to feel the torque. sport mode even give more juice.

i guess its subjective. to me i can feel the pull immediately when i step on the accelerator, even in normal mode.

Never drive an EV before so i would not be able to comment much. However I'm quite agree with the linear drive statement compared to explosive. my view, the torque graph for EV will be steeper compared to hybrid.

other than that, i believe the instant response is still there. maybe the lag due to power to weight ratio as well.

anyway this just my opinion..

it has a soft sidewall..have to sacrifice the performance but when it come to comfort, will be better. my previous FC, i didnt regret switching from PS4 to P4.

hi guys..one question here. which produce more efficient output when it comes to aircond compressor, and why?

belt driven (E/S/V) or electric (RS)

have to agree with that la. so far my setting temp is at 24 and the fan speed is at the 1st. very seldom have to increase the fan speed.
its just i wonder which will perform better between belt driven and electric.

anyone heard about the product recall for G6 RS?

was informed its impacting early batch RS model. im one of them

need to leave ur car for one night. was informed that for CRV RS, some run-in is required. unlike the fuel pump for civic where u can just change the pump. had this chat with my SA during car service last saturday.

for the steering rack recall, i dont need leave the car. so i guess its back to the SC whether they have enuff staff and fast pace working environment or not.

for RS user, do u notice any significant different between using 0W20 and 5W30 engine oil?

Here’s a detailed comparison of the **Michelin Primacy SUV+** and the **Continental UltraContact UC7** to help you choose the right touring/SUV tire:

---

## 🏁 Performance

### **Wet Grip & Safety**

* **Primacy SUV+** shows superior wet braking (\~43.8 m vs 45.1 m) and better aquaplaning resistance (\~78.4 km/h vs 77.7 km/h) than UC6/UC7 equivalents ([toptirereview.com][1]).
* Consistently praised for excellent wet control, making it a top choice in rainy conditions.

### **Dry Handling & Braking**

* **UltraContact UC7** edges out Primacy in dry performance, with quicker braking and sharper handling: \~37.9 m stopping vs 40.3 m, and marginally faster slalom/braking times ([toptirereview.com][2], [toptirereview.com][1]).
* Felt “very predictable and potent” during test drives ([wapcar.my][3]).

---

## 🎧 Noise & Comfort

* **UC7** is quieter and more comfort-focused, scoring better in NVH tests (\~58.3 dB vs 58.8 dB) and comfort ratings (7.2/10 vs 6.6/10) ([toptirereview.com][1]).
* User reviews echo this:

> “my car is also using… UC6 SUV… very comfortable (ride became softer) and very quiet” ([reddit.com][4])
> “Got myself UC7… way quieter than primacy 4” ([forum.lowyat.net][5])

---

## ⛽ Rolling Resistance & Fuel Economy

* **UC7** offers lower rolling resistance (\~7.21 N/kN vs 8.2 N/kN), which translates to better fuel efficiency ([toptirereview.com][1]).
* Primacy may have slightly higher rolling resistance but compensates with weight savings and refined compound design ([toptirereview.com][6]).

---

## 🔧 Durability & Build

* **Tread depth**: UC7 (≈7.31 mm) deeper than Primacy (≈6.82 mm), implying potentially longer wear and better aquaplaning ([toptirereview.com][6]).
* **Construction**: Primacy has dual-ply and thicker underlay—stronger build; UC7 uses single ply with slightly thinner underlay .

---

## 💰 Price & Value

* **UC7** is more budget-friendly —≈RM 580 vs RM 680 for Primacy (225/45R18) ([toptirereview.com][7]).
* In Malaysia, Primacy SUV+ and Continental UC6 SUV are comparably priced (\~6% difference) .

---

## 🗣️ Community Highlights

* UC7 praised as a comfort champion:

> “If noise is your only priority… tyres such as UC7 … best bet.” ([reddit.com][8], [reddit.com][4])
> “I would go with the UltraContact as its a better 'touring' tyre… the difference isn't huge.” ([reddit.com][9])
* Michelin side:

> “Michelin is always the right answer…” ([reddit.com][10])
