apparently i am 15 in line waiting for RS model at my branch lol. seems like honda did not expect quite a number of ppl actually booked RS. They looking at reducing S and E production to ramp up RS. I believe ppl getting eHEv also anticipating that the ron95 subsidy wont be there soon for T20 lol.

May I ask which branch you booked from, and when did you place your booking? I’m trying to understand how the allocation and booking system works while I wait for mine lol (also RS)
*
U from miri? The branch on the way to airport. I believe each dealer got their own allocation, she tell me currently each dealer get 1 RS per month lol.

Diff package maybe lol.

Now thinking should go civic or hrv. Price diff 12k around rs vs rs. I see hrv alot accessories macam tak ada.. for 12k extra civic is bigger and better spec’ed.

hr-v looks smaller in real life. Got 1 silver should be V spec unit parking at hotel carpark, so fast the guy get..

Accessories - give it time. FE also no accessories in the beginning. RS vs RS, Civic better Spec’ed, except powered tailgate & Dual Zone Airconditioning.

Key difference:
1. SUV vs Sedan (5 Door vs 4 Door)
2. Taller Space vs Bigger Boot
3. Higher Ground Clearance (easy to enter & exit) vs Lower Ground Clearance
4. Hybrid vs Turbo & Fuel Saving vs Power
*
I mean accessories as in those included in the price. civic gets auto dimming rear mirror, foot ambient lighting, much much better HU. wireless carplay is something i am using currently on android HU. not sure those add on car kit how good they are, but should be not as seamless lo. for civic wireless carplay, is it everytime u go inside car it will automatic connect and switch to carplay? or need to manually switch over? the auto dimming rear mirror is something cannot addon later, the foot ambient lightiing need add 3.5k lol damn. wrong info, only need add individually rm675 only, still palatable.

need a car that i may need to travel across brunei weekly for 1 hour+ back forth in the weekend. hrv probably gives better ride for sarawak bumpy and lousy road. but lately sit in my fren civic FC, seems ok also driving at lousy road in Kuching. 1 thing 1 can think about for HRV RS is that 1 single tank 1 from malaysia, should be ok to drive 1 week in Brunei. Malaysia cant buy their cheap fuel tho, but their vpower 97 is like rm3 only lol

another thing about civic is, i dont have to wait for more than 6months lol. 2 months can get V or RS spec.

I got mine for about 2 weeks ++ now. Can share with you some of my initial impressions thus far:

1. Fuel consumption is excellent for its size. With its 40L fuel tank I got 780km from it with about 40km range left. This was from a mixed driving environment, so under the right circumstances I don’t see any problems/trouble achieving 800km on a tank.

2. I’m not a fast driver, so even in ECON mode this car feels pretty zippy to me. This is very subjective and may vary from person to person.

3. Wind noise is pretty minimal at highway speeds. However tyre roar is pretty loud.

4. Despite the negative public reception towards the head unit, the UI is actually pretty smooth. Then again, this is my first car with a touchscreen, so take it with a grain of salt lol

Honda’s design decisions for the meter cluster as of late are questionable at best.
1. What is the point of including an analog speedometer when there’s a digital readout in the middle?

2. In the non-RS variants a colored indicator appears above the digital speedo readout that indicates how efficient your driving is in real time; green indicates you’re driving efficiently while white means you’re not as efficient etc. In the RS this feature is completely omitted for no good reason. It’s probably a few lines of code so why?

3. In the City and City Hatchback RS (same powertrain and meter cluster size), the meter cluster screen real estate is much more fully utilized; for example:

You can see that the power/charge indicator still shows nicely surrounding the ring of the left meter, with fuel consumption information displayed in the middle of the ring. Good usage of the screen real estate. In the non-RS variants of the HRV, it’s a similar thing, just that it’s the tachometer that surrounds the outer ring.

However in the HRV e:HEV (RS), you get this:

user posted image

It shows the fuel consumption info in the middle of the ring, but unlike the meter in the City RS, the power/charge indicator is just not there. It’s not a Honda Malaysia problem because this is common across all HRV across the world, even in Japan. But still this is something that I truly can’t brain. It’s the same powertrain, same meter cluster size, but why the different behaviors between them???

Other than the aforementioned points above, I’m loving the HRV.

If your SA really mean what he/she says, then Honda Malaysia better bring in the Civic e:HEV with the full digital meter cluster instead of the half digital/analog bullshit. Too bad I’m 190cm tall else I also would have waited for the Civic.

thanks for the review, how is the engine noise if compare city RS? yeah i think the tyre noise is really bad even when i test drive the V spec one, make me think twice about getting this HRV, probably need to do sound proofing at the fender.. but honda malaysia why do things alang alang one shit.

on the meter thingy, i tot that one can set one? probably need to do some setting.

You bet. Engine noise is quite noticeable when stationary/very low speeds (below 20kph), but at medium speeds onwards you won’t be able to hear it cutting in and out because the road noise would have suppressed it. The transition is very smooth so far.

The meter can’t be set. I’ve tried, I’ve read the owners manual, nada. It is what it is and I’ll have to accept that.
*
Ah shit, that instrument panel without the charging and power one really bad. Hmm i think maybe i shud cancel my booking 😂

You should find a test drive unit and check it out yourself. Avoids any miscommunication here lol

test drove V spec, not really like the engine noise if compare civic, the ride also but probably i have been driving sedan all these while la. don have RS spec around at my place (only 2 dealership in my puny city). i dunno true or not my SA tell me that civic RS can get 700km per tank... even the econ mode hrv macam can get 600km also? probably is like no much jam road la. How is the engine noise if like cruising at 110-120km/h?

but im replacing my old preve, and i will be commuting back and forth brunei quite often, the border quite jam also. So im thinking dunno which car type is better choice lol. Booked HR-V, but some features don have like auto dimming rear, the old HU, which is really a deal breaker for me la, because i gonna use the car long term also. Anyhow since my queue for HRV RS will be at least next year, so probably see end of the year if any other models coming out or not.

U from miri?
For the price, u can consider used recond Lexus or Harrier.
Which dealer u booked from, Krokop or near BMC?
Last time i booked my Jazz from Krokop but did the service in near BMC.
I heard from other ppl, the Krokop SC dont want to invest for bigger place or space. Hence the long queue for service
*
Near bmc lol. I think the krokop one family business and they abit feel no drive to do business also.

Used recond harrier or lexus also expensive lol. Comfort level will be much better? Harrier no honda sensing 😂

If based on the price,

We can get recond lexus rx270, 2015 rx350, 2019 C-HR cbu, 2014 harrier, Honda N Box, Toyota Tank
*
Mostly those harrier lexus are pretty old car with less fancy tech but they are supposingly more reliable and more comfortable. Even an old lexus rx i sat on my friend parents drive during 2000s is so much comfort inside NVH wise.

Well, u just gonna lose out on fancy part and it is an old car to begin with. Diff ppl diff priority. If i have family i would get those car anytime.
