This is your fuel efficiency..how much fuel you use per litre base on your driving style. For instance, if your car is going downhill and you are not pressing on the accelerator, the bar will go up, meaning more mileage covered per km.

the term 'underpower' is very subjective. if u are driving small cc car (non-turbo ofcoz tongue.gif ) previously, u won't feel underpower on the 2.0 crv. After owning the 2.0 for 2 weeks, i would say the power is adequate for daily drive and don't expect to zip-zap at highway.

the main reason i take crv instead of cx-5 is the huge cargo space, rear seat can easily fit 2 adult+ baby seat. And again, i definitely wont play zip-zap on highway and try to overtake the passat at 140km/hr while ferrying my 60+ yr old parents and 2 yr old son.

I like the cr-v keyless entry. Unlike those after market keyless entry with a button on door handle, juz put your hand at the door handle sensor and ur car is unlocked. and simply touch the door handle to lock the car.

Overall a good car, no issue yet so far, a happy family man  thumbup.gif

I agree wholeheartedly, although there are people who claimed the engine noise can still be heard.

Well the engine noise is minimal unless u fussy about it.

QUOTE(voncrane @ Nov 4 2017, 08:49 PM)
It's a fact not simply claims.. Even if you don't believe it.. Go watch Malaysian Bobby Ang's review video and listen.. Can be clearly heard. I experienced it too. Instead you should say the noise does not bother you.

Yes the engine sound do intrude the cabin when u step on it but nothing much we could do, it's a cvt, it's like training us to step on the pedal lesser.. Haha

No car in this price bracket ticks all the boxes in my opinion.  The tiguan... good chassis, but they didn't spec their better engines in Malaysia.  The CX5,  hmm for me no adaptive cruise and no android auto/carplay otherwise its really tempting. The CRV.. well yeah its a bit noisy when you wind it up according to reviewers.  I guess i'll just have to imagine the honda engineers allowed the drive train to resonate to make you think its speedier. But CVT's have their advantages too.  So I guess weigh it all up and see which takes your fancy.

My question to those with the sensing package,  how is your experience?  Does it work well in the malaysian urban setting with cars cutting into your lane?   How well is the adaptive cruise on the highway with the lane assist and steer back.

Is the cvt covered for the 5 year warranty?  Don't hear much about CVT failure on the crv.  But I think it'd be pretty expensive to replace if you if it breaks down or needs repair.  What do you all think?

I love the sensing icon_idea.gif when in those long jam I would on the low speed follow but distance you need to put longer innocent.gif just for some space for car cutting and for me to break just in case tongue.gif but you need to either press resume or pedal if u stop for more than 5sec safety feature i guess . Overall is lesser hectic during jam with the sensing. rolleyes.gif

And I just got my first paint chip on the hood cry.gif its tiny though but still blush.gif

ouch! should have gone for coating. my other car had the same experienced hence the CRV has to go for coating else will be  cry.gif  though may not entirely immune but it will help. take care bro console.gif

Was thinking of doing coating but why waste money when I like to diy polish and wax my car laugh.gif all my car previously none being wash outside, I treat them like precious diamonds rolleyes.gif biggrin.gif . Anyone bought window shades for our rides ? saw the ninja shades/smart shades but their design I don't really like, the magnets part stick to the door frame and wedge together with the rubber seal, might leave a mark hmm.gif . Groovy kinda expensive sweat.gif

Same view here on the coating being a waste of money when maintenance (ie weekly wash) is still required and there being no protection against chips. I am happy with DIY hand wash and using spray wax when drying car. Don't like sending car out for washing because you still need to spend time waiting around in the time you can finish it yourself plus it is good exercise.

I have the Groovy shades and as I was an early bird, received the non-fitting 'C' shades which have subsequently been replaced early this month (November 2017). The Groovy management apologised profusely for the error and I didn't make a fuss. Don't know about the quality of the Laser shades (if at all available from local Malaysian resellers) and the imitation ones (Amerguard and Ninja). The quality of the Groovy shades seems fine - sturdily build and of thick fabric though my front driver's window shade is a little 'spoiled' (ie bottom part sort of creased unreversibly resulting in a non-obvious tiny 1x10 mm? gap at the bottom) from having been squeezed by the power windows when wound up, probably due to having brushed the shade slightly outwards when reaching for parking ticket. The Groovy shades are pricy but already spent RM2.2k for 3M Crystalline window tint and decided that spending another RM440 (being 20% of that cost) is worth it for maximum heat rejection - 70% VLT tint has its limitations.

Reckon you can sell the groovy shades for half price when the time comes to sell the car...

The groovy shade magnet stick to the top part of the window frame rite not at the side of the top part (in between door seal and frame)?

Does "at the side of the top part" mean as per photo below?

There is difficulty to attach the Groovy shade when the doors are closed hence I guess this is what you mean, that the shade is "in between door seal and frame".

I usually open the door to attach the shade (possible to attach without opening the door but fitting it seems 'tight' and I don't want to push my luck). Not a deal killer for me since the only time I remove the shade is when driving through McD/Starbucks/really badly placed parking ticket machine.
*
Yes by top part side as refer to ur picture, the shade does able to go into the frame rite? just you mention quite tight fit blush.gif

Walk around the car like inspector tongue.gif spot for scratches, dents the usual, interior parts got scratches or not and most importantly check for seats since its leather. Lighting etc.. All good then welcome aboard icon_idea.gif mine got one scratch in the from bumper but can't feel it, seems like cosmetic only, so polish it off myself, overall nothing to complain. flex.gif
