Just signed the loan today. Got mine at 2.45% interest, and the banker mentioned starting 1st August it will become 2.7%++

SA said delivery should be somewhere end of this month or early August.

Hi all, received my HRV E-Spec last Saturday and already clocked in 1050km. Pending for 1st service after trip KL < > Kedah. Bought this car for solo long-range outstations. Summarised review as below and coming from an Axia SE 😬 so everything felt like an upgrade to me

Pros
- Great turbo engine & transmission, smooth acceleration < 4k rpm and hitting 110kmh at 1.8k rpm and 135kmh at 2.3k rpm
- Sport mode has more immediate throttle response
- Good FC, used about 45% tank one shot Kedah to KL (ECON, speed 120kmh)
- NVH is great, 80kmh no noise, 110kmh slight tyre noise and 135kmh wind noise creep in
- Great in-car microphone quality, can answer calls (teams/whatsapp) at 110kmh with crystal clear voice
- LKAS and ACC is a blessing for 4 hour trips
- Seat cushion is soft and supportive for long drives.

Cons
- Boot space is limited, not suitable for week-long trip with 4 adults. 2 large suitcase and thats about it
- Middle seat is not meant for any sitting, too high too narrow
- ACC is too harsh on throttle/braking when another vehicle up infront, affects FC too.
- LKAS sometimes got puzzled and not that centered all the time.
- No BSM, no front parking sensor, shameful
- Aircond at highest temp 28°C is still cool, so when heavy rain u still freezing cold. Heated leg ventilation doesn't do much as well.

Some Room For Improvement (Read: nitpicking)
- Front seat belt anchor a bit intrusive into hips
- Front speaker placement is right where your shoes might hit when exiting the car, could get dirt stuck at grille
- Tonneu cover lifts up when boot is open. Wish can put cute pillows there.
- ACC shortest distance is OK when at 110kmh but ridiculously too far when using LSF.
- Light sensor is too sensitive, just sitting under tree shade and it detects as night with full blown lights on and carplay night mode.

Crusing advice: Highway with heavy traffic, avoid ACC and try to lift & coast whenever possible, coasting distance is pretty great (maybe the turbo?)

Sekian thats all.

Edit: Spelling
