Guys, the 1st all new HR-V has just been delivered! You guys should receive yours soon! /s

your wife?

my wife v spec, and has been driving hers for close to 3 weeks. Not sure why Honda named her as “1st owner”. If 1st person to book also doesn’t make sense since she only got it today.

Unfortunately you’re not the only one seeing this. This issue is rampant all over the country. No one is able to figure out how Honda’s allocation system works.

So you’re saying your friend booked via a broker?

After seeing a lot of youtube review i havent see anyone mention about 12V socket. Does it have one?

For the service reminder indicator, does it mean that if you drive less, it will also be 6 months interval to replace engine oil?

If you're using 1.5VTEC Turbo then there is Service A and B. Service A will come sooner than 6 months depending on your driving pattern as the ECU will monitor the quality of the engine oil before oil change required. Service B remain the same, 6 months interval.

If you drive enough cars, you will find not all ACC are created equally. Hard acceleration is sadly pretty common. Some also affected by rain, enter/exit tunnel sometimes will auto disengaged. While some are mind blowingly consistent.

You the first one that said Honda ACC harsh. It proven again Wxxcar is bullshit paid review. They praised it better than TSS 1.1/2.0 which I find hard to believe.

I can confirm Mazda ACC is harsh, it is last gen tech and due for refresh amyway. Honda up until FC facelift 2020 and Toyota old TSS 1.0 are also doing hard acceleration and hard braking with strong nose dive as well. Then most others are slightly better at middle pack, eg Nissan Altima 2.5s my favorite rental car when travel to US. Best ACC are Hyundai, Volvo, Tesla by large margin up until 2019-2020 by many credible international reviewers (Straightpaip, Buycartv, Savagegeese etc). I can testify for Hyundai and Volvo, never driven Tesla.

Now many already catch up. TSS 2.0 is huge improvement (I can testify 2022 Harrier is quite good, it seems to be 1.1 with extra patch, sales person explained ACC same, just 2.0 can recognize more object types on the road for AEB), BMW Personal Copilot get good reviews, Ford ACC will do lift off and cruise over long distance like a human (really interested to try this when chance come by) to name a few. They are now at least on par with the 3 traditional ACC leaders if not better.

thanks for your input, how do we know a toyota is tss 2.0, such as tcch?

Does that means that if I drive less than 5k km/every 6 months or less than 10k km/every 1 year, I will only have 2 services per year where first service only change engine oil and second service change both engine oil and oil filter?

Many folks in Melaka ready for their turbo HRV lol
(At least 5-6 HRV readying)


But umm, it's pretty f 'ing obvious that the 1.5 turbo is FORCED into the HRV (as it doesn't have a c / D segment length/wheelbase to properly fit it lol)

Help me understand further. It seems like the exhaust at the side and not through the center tunnel?

The extra rod, like it is mounting for other models, but unused here.

I'm actually very curious why Honda still mount the engine (at least for the 1.5T, didn't check other engine) with exhaust facing the front (after extractor the exhaust has to go through bottom of the engine), intake manifold facing the back.
Most modern engine already flip the engine block to reduce exhaust path.

For crazy engineering first company, they should have good reason other than cost.
** they designed 3 totally different Hybrid system in past 2 decades. In most company that put financial/supply chain/management background people on top, a lot of people will get fired in similar situation.

We only guess by comparing the tested capability, feel like UMW is not that transparent.
Maybe more confident way is ask the service manager directly.

Otherwise, check if the ACC (DRCC) do self centering. Not lane departure, but actively steer the car maintaining it at the center of the lane. I think Toyota call it LTA.
If it do that it is at least TSS 1.1 with extra patch (learned such thing exist from Taiwanese review), if not TSS 2.0.

But to differentiate 1.1+ with 2.0, that's a bit harder. Most obvious upgrade is able to detect more type of objects and different angle of the object during intersection, but those are not easy to test.

Apparently TSS 2.5, 3.0 also exist. Lol, we are still UMW old tech dumping ground after all.

Not just on HRV, but the same arrangement can be found on the City and the Jazz.

The reason is simple, their fuel tank is under the front seats (instead of the normal placement of under the rear seats), so the exhaust path has to take a sharp turn to a side to go around the tank.

Why is the fuel tank under the front seats? so that you get the Honda Ultra-seats at the back.
I'm not 100% sure but it probably has to do with heat management. Their engine bay is very cramped; if the exhaust comes out of the rear of the engine, it will be under the windscreen cowling and the heat will be trapped when the car is not moving.

Putting it in front, at least there is a fan blowing at it to move the hot air along.
