Consider the Subaru XV or Forester also. Better ground clearance, AWD, 6 airbags.

Do note: Neither car is rated for flood fording. The CX-5's air intake sits over the grille, however, while the HR-V's intake goes through the grille (better than the CR-V... our intake is in the bumper)... so the CX-5 should be a bit safer... but neither car is guaranteed to be able to survive a thorough soaking.
If you really want a flood-proof car, buy one with a rated wading depth. This ensures that electronics and transmission/oil coolers are sealed from water intrusion below this depth.

Water level was lapping on his headlights if I remember correctly. It was only after he crossed safely that I decided to cross (with a Revo diesel) 😁. All the lights on my instrument panel were blinking erratically even then. My hats off to that brave/foolish guy. Haha~
I once drove our Tribute 2.3 through a flooded Sto. Domingo St. Flood wasn't that high, with quite a few taxis in front of me. Even then I could feel the water hitting the floorpan. Even though I've seen that it's air intake is somewhere behind the left headlight, it scared the hell out of me. 😄

Has anyone of you tried buying or installing front bumper that's made in taiwan (yung...
