now days many people like black interior, more expensive, like CRV black edition with black interior is more expensive
how would you know V model has bad FC? should be very good FC because of high power to weight ratio

Axia got the best fc! Road tax also cheap.

6.5l/100km is considered very good oledi, thats is about 13-14 cents / km for current petrol price.
cannot compare to hybrid, because hydrid uses battery, if you calculate battery replacement cost in, it will be close or comparable. but off course petrol price will increase in long run la.

My car with wired carplay, I add a dongle from shopee and became wireless. Not big issue.

Will be similar for HRV.

I think those who can afford and never really worried for space (couples, singles, really small families, 2nd town car, etc) won’t really mind the extra price compared to the previous model since you do get a lot more. Those who were on the fence and not convinced then May still go to Corolla cross. I was one of them and somehow I jumped to Civic haha.

no doubt civic is a better car.

go for civic if dont have specific requirement, such as, must want a taller car.

HRV driver seat at the lowest, is still higher than civic driver seat at the highest.

let me try to lay down what kind of people can go for HRV without second thought.

ok for
small family, 2 adults, 2 kids ( before secondary school )
annual balik kampung 1 to 2 times.
95% driving in town.
dont have weekly outstation need ( business trip etc )
want a taller car ( because civic rear seat is really low. )
must want to avoid proton ( because x50 x70 is a real direct competitor, apart from spare part )

Do not buy this car
if you need to send your son to tuition center everyday, and he is 180cm.
need to bring 3 person at rear seat everyday.
need to carry 4 person + a lot of luggages, always.
those considering HRV vs Corolla cross,

toyota corolla cross is not a bigger car as i have shown in the thread. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=5290614&hl=

Went to checkout the car today and noticed the seat has the same issue as Civic RS, this part where u sit lacks cushioning, feels very hard as if you are sitting directly on top of the metal. Not sure if can tahan for long journeys

If you need real low speed follow ACC, then forget about Corolla cross. Yes footbrake is defeating the purpose. Just go test drive and try it at a busy traffic light or purposely go jam road.
In Malaysia if you want everything then the price is much higher. Including that LSF, maybe you can also look at Corolla altis instead. Not lower than civic. I think at least one of the seats can adjust higher too. Another option safest is CRV. I think no issue for in and out, quite nice for me. And civic should still be tested by your parents, maybe get them to the showroom haha.

But in your situation I’d just go for CRV TCP, 2nd hand if need to save money. Altis if your mom can easily get seated and exit.

Just realized that dimensions and boot space of the new HRV is just comparable to Proton X50

Suddenly HRV is not that attractive any more. Damn it

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

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.
