Nice, but I assume there will be some cable exposed from the ciggy port since one side is fully closed
Yes, some cable is exposed, maybe 4 inches at the most. The cable running from the Dashcam to the top lining is much more exposed than the power to the ciggy port.
1. The small indicator bar to show how efficient your driving is, is gone in the HRV. Now I couldn’t tell if my driving is green, white, or blue. This was the staple of all modern Honda cars. I’m surprised they omitted this feature.
2. The ACC is not smooth. When the car ahead decelerates, the HRV had a split second delay and then applied brakes pretty harshly. I’d say the car behind me would be like “wtf is wrong with this guy” lol
For number (1) - I just use the Range & Fuel option at the meter cluster and target the "Instant Fuel Economy" bar to be between 15-20. Beats using the ambient meter.
That’d work nicely for you, but in the RS I noticed that the engine speed (RPM) is not dependent on how much the gas pedal is depressed (especially during low speeds), as it actually depends on the current charge remaining for the battery.
There have been a few times where I know I only depressed the pedal very minimally but the engine is revving a lot more than that - my guess is around 2k to 3k RPM, because at that time the battery is low on charge. This I think is one of the downsides of the e:HEV system; you’re going less than 30 to 40kph but the engine is pretty loud to recharge the battery.
For RS I wouldn't even think about it, just drive normally. Your worst fuel consumption would by my best fuel consumption Yes the engine might roar out loud, but your mileage would still be incomparably better.
Drove at LPT last week and got hit with some flying stones. Now got fine scratches and deep ones *sigh*
Any ideas how to cover those light n deep scratches? If send to body & paint shop later the pomen laugh aldy.
Search for Ezy Touch Up Paint on Shopee, the code for this colour is Ignite Red Metallic R575M. It's not perfect, but it will cover up those defects fine enough (for me la)
Not sure why but the TPMS feature on the Cross is weird. It's my MIL's so I seldom drive it, but I do from time to time to do some minor periodic maintenance (fill up wiper reservoir, fill in tyre pressure etc). Somehow the TPMS doesn't inform when the pressure is low - as in less than 10% than the registered pressure. Not sure if it's faulty la of course.
One of the thing that pisses me off with the current HRV is the Head Unit. The clock on the HU doesn't sync with the meter cluster. Also, there is no GPS on the Head Unit, so you need to set both clocks on the HU and meter cluster separately. The HU is not even using Apple CarPlay to sync the times... Terrible implementation...
