i would like to ask, can the back seat carry 3 normal malaysian adults? Maybe for a 2hour trip or something. Like 170cm, 70kg?

I dont dare to ask 3 person sit at the back and try the last time I did a test drive.

I remember the Civic FC can do this a bit better but the seats are a bit too low.

I too monitoring this car along with Corolla cross and new Civic.

To me, its all in the new car pricing to compete. I am kinda disappointed that Cross Hybrid is old school hybrid from Prius days (although it works).
I was quite happy with Corolla 1.8G overall, but it would really depends on what Honda can give me for 130k flat. Or less, preferably.

definitely when I say price I imply what kind of specs, features and kit that will be included.

So you're saying your 1.8G is about 130k?

My wife is saying for goodness sakes +/-20k just choose what you like. I actually like CRV hahahaha

fair enough, I already tested the car. At 130k, I feel I lose out on the 1.5T power of the Honda Civic (i have really tested both, along with Corolla cross). Of course if the next iteration ask for more than 140k, I won't feel I lose out anymore. How weird is that...just a relative thing can make me decide. I would've bought the 1.5 TCP if still available today.

At the same time, there is still chance for the new Civic to come in at the same price, below or at 130k. I won't mind losing out on kit like seat material, speakers, dunno what display here and there. I just want all the full safety suite, and apple car play (wired and above), and keyless entry.
