2016 Honda HR-V 1.5 and 1.8 CVT

[neil.pador]

Most also fall for the illusion that when they cash out due to the enormous discounts that dealerships give them that they think they are getting the 'right' deal. A car also needs maintenance, expense doesn't end when you release the car from a dealership, it ends when you decide to get rid of it. The true investment comes in the duration that you have used it: Now is a 50,000 discount really that worth it after 5 years?

HR-V sales in the US and AU are very good, because of the pricing. Too bad Honda Ph sucks at pricing.

[jave]

Because Honda PH, I suspect, has this illusion that theirs is a premium brand.

Um...not really.

They must be drinking something spiked at the corporate board room. You can see how overpriced the Jazz and City when they introduced their pricing for the latest gen City/Jazz, imagine almost 1.3 pricing for the 1.5 Variants, I wonder how the previous owners felt..... I'd be furious...kaya naman pala liitan ang presyo ika nga.

Dami pala nila ek ek na ibang category ang HR-V , cmon lets get real, they could have given it the 1.5 engine which it has in some markets, and competed with the current king which is the Ecosport, FORD is moving these babies despite some issues in the DSG trannies...

Oh well I think they are still stuck in the glory days when the Civic and CR-V where selling like hot cakes.

Honda Cars Philippines basically has the same pricing as Honda Thailand and if I have the money for a CUV I will buy the HRV in a heartbeat, not because of what Honda feels they are a premium brand but because of my familiarity with Honda engines I've owned. Owning two Civics, SiR and an FD I am the type of person who keeps his cars for quite a long time, maintaining them on my own. Since the HRV has the same R18a engine as that of the FD, it will not pose a problem for me maintaining it in the long run (after the warranty expires). That's why I still choose a Honda. Peace:-)

GP is not achieved only by high volumes (as what TMP does). You can also achieve the same by increasing unit margins (as what HCP does).

Honda doesn't need their pricing to be palatable to everyone.

Been using the HRV for the past 6 months, clocked in 2800kms, had my 6month/10kms PMS this morning. So far so good with the HRV, no subjective complaint as of the moment. Used around 4 liters of fully synthetic oil, the air and pollen filter was not replaced per SA advice. Total time spent was around 1.5 hrs.

[StockEngine]

Buying the HRV if Honda put underhood their Earth Dream direct-injected mill.

HRV is High-price Riding Vehicle. There are other brand like the old school ASX that still make you smile because it is well priced, I say old school due to Mitsu stripped the ASX GSR of safety features but has a premium feel of leather seats, sunroof & a nice SUV seating command (too bad HRV sits just like the Fit)

The 1.8L will stay for the next 3-5years. They dont have a replacement yet.

[QUOTE=RearLocker;2559875]

I took the ASX GSR for a test drive and noticed that they skimped on the insulation and sound proofing too. You can feel the vibration of the tranny on the floorboards and steering wheel especially in low gears. The groan of the tranny is very noticeable to inside the cabin similar to the ever-popular ecosport.

Hope to take out the HRV for a spin to compare.



Honda CVT isn't the best of breed, floored the HRV & same it groan & sluggish, --same with ASX.
HRV steering has weight & feel, better than ASX. ----HRV steer lock to lock--2.71 as with ASX 3.3.
I don't think if the NVH is rather stripped as well in ASX Pinas? measured in dB--ASX NVH even better than Mazda CX3.
Tyres HRV much lower aspect * 55 than ASX 60, the issue here is I can replace a wider tyre for ASX, say 235-50-R18.
ASX bigger 2.0L engine.
Pros & cons slightly differs but what matter most is the price & the never fading distinctive Mitsu fighter jet front grille, Evo DNA.

Sluggish? This is the fastest in the segment. Its faster than the 2.0 subaru xv and 2.0 asx.

I drove the jazz with their CVT tranny. If it is the same with the HR-V then I would disagree. I have an XV as my daily driver and the Honda CVT doesn't compare to Subaru's IMO. If I were to rank it in terms of tranny performance I'd go Subaru > Honda > Mitsubishi

The jazz obviously has a smaller engine....

I happened to see this in a mall display, I was impressed by the spaciousness but not by the quality and looks of the interior.

[bigbites]

I checked it out at one of the dealers and it looks better in person. My mind said "meh, it's too pricey." But my heart said, "it's worth it. "

[go-to-guy]

Baligtad naman sakin. Saw it in person sa mall display and meron na sa village namin. Parang mabilis lang siya magiging common-looking. Although sa pictures naman makes me want one.😛

[Walter]

So from your point of views, the interior is not that good quality? If you read the reviews of local online car magazines, most of them are all praises.

[macsd]

Is this something available already such that i go to a dealer anytime with cash and get out with the car or another wait & line up thing ?

Oo nga, napapansin ko din yan. Iba kaya pinapadalang specs dito?

Everything is relative. To which car(s) is the poster comparing it to?

I find the interior finish very good, definitely better compared to Asian SUVs like the Fortuner and the Montero. We had a Montero and my mother-in-law drives a Fortuner, so I'm not biased. The interior design is subjective, of course.

Compared to the XV, I think the HR-V slightly edges it in fit and finish. We have an XV, so please don't be offended, fellow XV owners. I haven't seen the ASX's interior up close, so I can't comment properly.


So again, the interior is ''not that good quality'' compared to which cars?

Agreed. Interior looks nice and ok naman ang quality. I just don't like the aircon vents on the passenger side. other than that maganda siya. Price is too high though.
