hi all, wonder what do you think on blind spot monitor and power tailgate?

will lack of these 2 feature stop you considering this car?

i think blind spot monitor is useful compared to the camera especially it only 1 side and required manual activation, nowadays motorcycle just like to suddenly pop from nowhere or hide on your blind spot, although we been driving car without blindspot monitor for so long, but having additional safety feature is a plus.

power tailgate is a good function too, i often encounter i have no other free hands to open the boot and have to put my things down 1st. judging from the 130k price tag (turbo), kinda meh for not giving these 2 useful function.

if the top turbo spec come with these 2 function, i will order it already .....

and also, is there any after market plug and play blindspot monitor?

But Taiwanese don’t have turbo and hybrid, only 1.5na

No wireless apple CarPlay is another issue to me, I don’t want to plug my phone all the while I using.

Yup, x50 might be the best for value of money but only for the highest spec right? If I not wrong still need around 100k,
personally I don’t want to pay 100k for a proton….

Thinking of Corolla cross too but on paper is c segment but interior size wise is smaller than hrv, the only thing hrv lose is the boot space due to more sporty tailgate design.

the reason i dont want wired carplay is i dont want it charge my phone to 100% .... lol terbalik between you and me XD.

i been keeping my phone battery between 40% and 80%, believe or not, my 2019 november xs max till now still 100% bettery with 500+ charged cycle.


the main reason your phone charge slow to 100 might due to your battery already degraded .... my old iphone 6 and iphone 8p also charge super slow pass 90, and took a very long time from 99 to 100.

that's why now i dont want to charge full edi, just charge whenever i can and keep between 40 and 80.

oh, i currently driving my sister jazz hybrid (GK), i guess yours is the older 1 gen right?

heated side mirror not a problem to me, my 10 years old forte have it too but it only activate when i turn on front defogging.

another reason i consider HRV is because its a JDM model, design in japan ..... city, vios, cross, all design outside japan

HRV no auto dim mirror?

i need this, i have this on my forte and it super nice, no more blinding by those idiot modified HID, i missed this mirror so much after i switched to a jazz.

nowadays seem all car come with service reminder.

let's say if after warranty, i dont want to follow the schedule, maybe 13,000km or 9 months only service, and i want to service outside also, is there anyway to reset the reminder?

hmm, my current jazz hybrid have identical FC, 22 to 24 km/l 50% 50%, full highway can go to 26km/l , seem not much different on the new e:HEV technology.

noob question, when you use carplay, either on wired or wireless, your phone screen remain on? or off?

since you identified the source, just send to Honda and tell them to fix it. Should be able to be done within 1 day since you identified the source.

Try polish edi?

Deep scratch can’t really do anything …..

the only downside is the foot brake

cross use footbrake
hr-v use electronic brake

is it E spec?

i feel the E spec rim look nicer actually .....

thinking getting hr-v but few things really turn me down

Anyone successfully change the HU to better one and retain the lanewatch functionality?

high chance yaris cross we get is the low cost version, not the global version.

How much for used 1.5t

Is it worth to get a used 1.5t compared to new one? The only pro I see is you get the car immediately, but money wise I think you end up paying more if you going to take hire purchase since most of the T and H brand used car price close to launched price with car age 1 or 2 years
