Logical pricing!  Honda is forcing many customers into buying the RS model! 2022 Liao how can a suv doesn’t has power boot! Omg!

lol! sunroof useless. prefer panoramic roof.

How much you did you pay for booking? Is it refundable? Which showroom? Is it possible to change variant afterwards? If SST EXEPTION is there, will it be cancelled upon changing?

why would accord needs 8 months? hardly see one on the road. Should  have ready leftover stock.lol. So this tabel is not credible ler.

My SA mentioned the internal memo is true. The 1 year waiting is applicable to those that booked late June or July. His statement mentioning mine can get by this year because i booked early June before Honda announced officially opened for booking

SA informed my wife’s car (v-spec) has arrived, but her loan is still waiting to be approved by the bank. Not sure why but it’s taking a bit of time… most likely can get it by next week

Just taken delivery of my wife’s HR-V V Spec.

Good news: The latest HRV got RDS - not even my current Civic FE RS got… the turbo engine is similar to my Civic - didn’t push yet la… only 15km driven
Bad news: no auto folding side mirror. Not sure if there is a setting - but didn’t see any for this. Also, A pillar on left side + side mirror is a huge blindspot in my humble opinion.

Just a short drive, so can’t comment much yet. Will update my first impressions later.

Lol..let fate takes its course. Affin bank just approved my loan at 2.43 for 5 years tenure. Loan amount rm50 k.  now my car no more installments so have to pay for wifey. Lol.

Was quoted 2.32 before the interest rate hike. Hybrid was 2.29 back then. Dont think RHB is competitive  in HP. They prefer to do used and recon car if i am not mistaken.

Since like that, HRV definitely suits you. Seats are plushier than Civic.

Anyway, just a side review, bought Trapo Hex for my Civic and Dodo Mat for my wife’s HRV. After using both for a while, can now say that I prefer the Dodo Mat.

Dodo Mat can’t really see the dirt, it falls down to the 2nd layer. Trapo, the small2 dirt is really obvious. Fit and finish, I give Dodo a higher rating as the cutting is slightly better, but both are very similar.

No challenge on efficiency, true. I feel 800km full tank is easily achievable. I have crossed 500km with 3 bars of fuel left.

My major problem is how the cruise control catches for speed. It applies very harsh acceleration. That instant, the noise is unbearable. If I cancel cruise and hit the pedal myself slowly, its smooth.

Generally for rush hour traffic, at 30 to 40km/h,  its always on EV mode.

On paper specs, HRV Turbo achieves 0-100 in 8.8 seconds, Civic V achieves it in 8.4 seconds and X50 claims it to be 7.9 seconds. You can see x50 vs Civic, paper specs lie… and you can infer that HRV turbo would be faster than X50

In case you go to Honda Service Centre and the Service Advisor recommends to add on Honda Engine Oil Treatment and Honda Fuel Injector Cleaner which are optional items, you can read this. Some excerpts:

• Using oil additives: Your vehicle does not require oil additives. In fact, they may adversely affect the engine performance and durability.
• Fuel injection cleaning/flushing: This procedure is not recommended by American Honda, as it is an unnecessary maintenance procedure and improper repair procedure. If a Honda vehicle is experiencing a fuel injector malfunction, the faulty injector should be replaced.
• Extra oil changes: Oil changes should be performed in accordance with maintenance minder and the Honda owner's manual. Only a relatively small percentage of Honda owners routinely operate their vehicles under severe maintenance conditions which might necessitate more frequent changes than are typically recommended.

So don't waste money ya. Just follow the official maintenance schedule and just reject any additional items, definitely won't void warranty - unless you want la, up to you. I every time visit the SC, surely got lots of additional items tacked on, and I have to fight to remove them. The Service Advisor always say "recommended by Honda Malaysia" or "recommended to do this procedure every 10,000km", or "to prolong your car's life" to guilt/pressure you into accepting them. I bolayan them, and stay firm to reject all items, except balancing/alignment/rotation that I request them - pay slightly higher but they have the correct setting for my car.

I took my HRV turbo two weeks ago, as now I enjoy every single ride on this car. my feedbacks as follow:

Pro:
- Acceptable fuel consumption: average 13.6km/L (50% city, 50% highway)
- Acceleration is good
- NVH is good (compare to my other cars)
- Handling is good for suv
- Nice exterior & interior (I like the simple dashboard design)
- Great active safety features (Honda Sensing), tested most of the features except CMBS & LSF

Cons:
- Suspension a bit stiff
- No BSM (blind spot monitoring)
- Low reverse camera resolution
- Only 4 adults in the car, middle rear seat not suitable for adult

Ok it’s been a really busy past few weeks but yesterday I finally took delivery of my M gray RS.

Earlier in August I asked my SA about my allocation, she asked me to check back in Sept at the time. But a few days later she suddenly told me my car is allocated. I think the car was originally allocated (and actually transported) to another dealer, but because that dealer and the dealer I booked mine at are owned by the same boss, they just “transferred” that allocation to me. Can’t confirm if this is the case, just my thoughts.

Coming from a 2012 Jazz Hybrid (CBU Japan), here’s my first review. Disclaimer: I booked and purchased the car without prior viewing and test driving. Yesterday was my actual first time coming up close and personal with the actual car. Pretty YOLO but it paid off.

1. I’m 190cm tall and thankfully I still have about 2cm of headroom left after adjusting my driving position. It was also a good call to instruct my SA to not include the 7 inch tint sun visor. I’m able to see through the entire length of the hood, which makes front facing parking a lot easier.

2. Also thankfully, the side mirrors have a wide angle adjustment range (unlike the Proton X70 where the side mirrors couldn’t go beyond a certain angle, unable to eliminate far out blind spots).

3. I’m not a fast driving kind of guy so…. Even on ECON mode the HRV RS has decent acceleration to me.

4. Drove 55+km home after taking delivery, set ACC at 80kph (because…. I don’t know, let the engine break-in lol) and the meter says I got 25km/L FC

5. NVH is pretty good, except that tire roar is quite loud… I think it’s even louder than my CBU Jazz.

Sekian. More to come.

Just hope after 2000km, the NVH improves 😇. Referecing PC6 experience.

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.

Hi all,

May I check has anyone here installed brake lock specifically the Thailand brand Locktech in their HRV 2022?
I recently installed mine but I found out that the brake pedal can still be depressed (as if Locktech wasn’t installed) even though it is locked. I have experienced Locktech in my other car model where the brake pedal totally has no free play to depress brake pedal once Locktech is locked. I know it’s still won’t start because of the socket thing but is this normal?

Could anyone share their Locktech installation experience?
Is it the same as mine where the brake pedal has freeplay even though it has been locked?
Mine is V (non RS hybrid)

Thanks.
