u mean the mugen type?

Err...nothing special, just some bodykit and limited color. Others still the same..

As a daily fwd driver on mostly city roads/highway.. I can tell for a fact.. the AWD is not needed.. Notice even Mazda themselves are phasing it out. I have never one day experienced wheel spin.. Yet, I can peel away from the toll gate or traffic light and leave all behind effortlessly...(okay, not all lar.. also got folks with more powerful engines out there.. we race sikit, then brake.. Can catch or maintain speed with a surprise) all without having to breach 3K - 4K RPM. 4K RPM+ being really flat kickdown and hold.. Similarly going uphill.. There's no loss in power delivery especially on the highways.. Car just chugs on and on and on.. You said it yourself above.. Rolling start la, bla bla.. When I want to overtake or perform sudden evasive maneuvers.. I have 100% confidence that the engine and handling WILL match me throttle press for press, steering turn for turn.. No lag.. no hesistance.. nthg.. just pull, shift, swerve and keep going where I want it to... just push it and it's done. Hence my stance.. Want a driver's car? The answer is unmistakable.. Want a somewhat okay-ish car that can carry more stuff & care about RV (somewhat)? Get the CRV. I'll reiterate, the CRV is not a slow car. It's just not the best in comparison WHERE driving dynamics and handling is concerned..
This one is mentality problem.. What to do.. All the Assists won't help and it's not safe (for now) to allow cars to almost tailgate other cars in front. Perhaps in the future when cars can communicate amongst themselves.. not unlike how Network routers maintain a steady flow.. Then we can zip around on full automated drives, without worrying (much) about others manually disrupting the flow. For now, as you say... Better to rely on manual driving and or be ready to completely take over in a second to avoid an accident. Actually, the reason you pointed out, was one of which made me end up realizing I can do away with Honda Sensing for now. Volvo and Tesla's would be my minimum benchmarks.
I'd like to first apologize for not bothering to visit the links to more videos. I saw plenty during my research over a 2 year period.. Some here can attest to my hesitance back then. Head over heart.. The heart won in the end. Minus a few kinks? She's a good lad. My message above sums it up.. No need think so much.. Really, take your CRV (reason I say this is that the driving feel is still fresh) and head down to a show room.. Grab a 2.2D FWD.. hit the highway with a couple turns .. ups and downs.. Maybe even do a Genting run.. Etc.. which experts have already done.. The experience you'll have will be sufficient to settle this for you.. No need to apologize all. Both cars are good in their respective departments. Just like I can't argue against the space advantage (fact), mazda's diesel turbo, NVH and driving dynamics is simply no match for the CRV. This is fact. We can agree to disagree.. I can respect that..no biggie.. I'm just here to mingle as a fan. Still a Honda boy.

If you have the turbo, eco mode has less oomph during acceleration which is expected since it want to save you fuel. Not sure about the 2.0L cos i don't have it.

Fuel consumption is higher. It’s feel the engine need more power to move around. Just off the eco mode

Guys, what is the best discount crv 2.0 you guys got now? Can intro SA to me? Current interest rate how much?

Use bluetooth to connect?

It's happened to me before.. then later I found out it was due to my cheap cheap cable bought from Lazada does not support data transfer .. no problem after I changed the cable

Bro, use CarPlay. Hook up your smartphone with a USB cable and the CarPlay option will be activated.

What it does is, the interface screen will mirror your phone interface with selected apps such as Maps and Waze and other core apps like calls messaging etc.
On a side note, I found that the Honda Interface does not work with iPod 6th generation and below, no sound output....
