copy pasting my post:


did people forgotten HRV is a b seg suv aka a city that's pulled upwards? lol

yes, its expensive because of:
1) SUV bigger fatter
2) drive train
3) inflation
4) Honda asensing
5) Honda Malaysia margins lol

it'll be interesting to see new CRV pricings

Can, more comfy than my 86

Our previous HRV rear camera was DIY and the most difficult thing is the weather sealing grommet through the hatch back door (that's where the rear lighting etc gets routed through)

HRV optional accessories - DashCam front and back, does it have parking surveillance?

What are the specs?

lol Honda, the power of dreams.

i don't care much for RDS

just the crappy reverse camera quality is enough to just go with the bold. no need further elaboration or pusing lol.just facepalm je.

Honda sensing ACC is pretty harsh but can be manually assisted to smoothen it (applying acceleration to brake, for example)

Lol wap car

Yeah, funny counter intuitive methods like what I've mentioned and what you've applied with Sport mode.

Very interesting car designs with human behaviours

Civic same engine/turbo as HRV v, but the oil maintenance very different
mine currently overdue by 600 km... but should be within the 1k allowable limit during the service 2 days later.

we'll see. lol.

just in case/pointing out, traffic jams, any duration sitting in traffic not moving = lol oil life counter.

but, in this case for your wife's HRV and my wife's Civic, matter of 5k/10k difference (ignoring the few k variances from the actual monitoring) on the first actual oil change service.
did they determine the HRV engine is more robust? or did they detune the HRV a little bit compared to Civic? or did they improved their oil so that the interval can be longer to 10k instead of 5k for first oil change?
or just shitty technician being inconsistent on the reminder reset/setting?

lol.

yeah it is within 1k overdue (currently 6k km) and yes 10k km/6 months this weekend
actually 28 Aug, but we got plans that weekend so decided to do a week ahead, + that overdue reminder is annoying lol

i am thinking to service CVT sooner at 20k km next service, but we'll see. to discuss with minister lol

yeah that's what i meant, typically it is 10k/6 months whichever first and then reduction or addition, minor variances depending on the oil life monitoring. which we have deduced that it is basically engine run time x km (maybe even calendar date or time included) calculation(s).

hence my food for thoughts above, or just lol @ Honda Malaysia inconsistencies

how did you gotten extra 3800 km though from 12500 km? 12500 - 3800 > 8700 lol
that's a bit confusing lol.

Ah ok that explains it.
But the extra probably doesn't matter since you're doing the periodic maintenance anyways.

Otherwise need to go extra times one for periodic one for the oil life

your wife?

maybe 1st RS? LOL
but yeah, totally ?????????? when owners are already clocking like a thousand km and already done first or even second services.

For Honda civic turbo
A is just first oil change without oil filter
B is second oil change including oil filter

First A is 5k km for civic (first 1k is only inspection no oil change)
Then both A and B 10k km/6 months whichever first oil change.
Suggest to align together with the regular periodic maintenance

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)

I'll be honest that i missed that mounting too! Too occupied on "what the fuck is that resonator sticking out of the car?!"

If i were to assume, Honda has reasons to maintain exhaust length/path, so much that this ugly Frankenstein HRV turbo is the result lol.

Reasons aside, this resonator mishap is 100% cost. The mounting you pointed out is a dead give away.

And that's the case for ALL Honda Malaysia (can't confirm for other countries) B segment vehicles.

Look at their interior and exhaust setup. It's becoming very P2 that they are just banking on selling paper specs (Honda sensing, turbo, lol) and falls fucking flat on actual end product lol.

SUV still need to be afraid of speed bumps?

Not so straight forward if i may add, and reminder again to the masses: this is your actual "Hi-Lo" (and not suspension height!) Which can be high speed compression/low speed compression and/or high speed rebound/low speed rebound.
These are your "way" adjustment. Height was never in the amount of "ways" equation.

Now back to why i mention not so straight forward:
1) low speed could also need "softness" otherwise road undulations (not so sharp speed bumps, those highways that are wavy such at the stretch between Seremban and Melaka) would get very harsh.
2) high speed could also need "stiffness" otherwise hard braking, sharp corners, switchbacks, direction changes would lose steering capability/feedback and worse, need grip in a hurry.
Then there's the distinction of all these scenarios on either compression or rebound.
(No surprise it's a "dark art" in the past when education is much lower to the general masses and information is not readily available before the age of internet such as Google YouTube Wikipedia, and further worsened by car groups and communities ridiculing/insulting people who ask/not willing to share etc)

That's why the complexity of velocity sensitive/digressive dampers, electronic (be it manual or automatic adjustment) dampers

Ohlins DFV having such additional overflow (dual flow marketing) to address few of such scenarios I've mentioned)
Instead of an outright linear stiffness on say, high speed, it has an overflow oil passage to digress damper compression so it'll be compliant during say, pot holes or speed bumps, but still very capable on say, hard brake, direction changes, sharp corners.

One interesting thing with road irregularities to add into the mix, is speed bumps tend to be issue of compression, pot holes rebound.
Ohlins DFV tend to not be able to address rebound (i haven't got the privilege to personally own Ohlins DFV myself though, only passionate enough to understand its technicalities beyond its marketing)

1) which angle? In wards or out wards?
Just in case, when you adjust side mirrors, your own vehicle should not be visible at all (in wards)

2) the one where engine stop Aircon also stop? XD
