Even if you remove the 3rd row seats, the whole configuration of 2nd row is still different.
They have to reconfigure the whole 2nd row so that it will fold and tumble for access to 3rd row. By doing so, the 2nd row is now higher(less headroom and legroom), and more cramped compared to the original 5-seat design.

The 5-seater version is way way better in terms of comfort AND space. More comfortable because of the seating position of the 2nd row.

Just got my Diesel V variant today from Honda Alabang. A LOT of CRV units there of different variants and colors. However, may may-ari na daw lahat. I even saw one customer talking to his Sales Advisor over the phone galit na galit at mukhang naunahan ata ng iba sa gusto niyang unit. I heard from my SA na madami nga daw customer nagagalit like that dahil nagpapareserve hindi agad kineclaim so nabibigay sa iba. No cash reservation kase.
Just returning the favor to this forum for all the answers I got. Summarizing the issues with the Honda CRV Diesel and other questions that others might find helpful. A few hours of driving pa lang though so things might change the longer I play with it...
1) Availability - Honda Alabang only has Diesel V variant as of today. Many variants in their branch but ALL ARE taken.
2) Jerking of tranny from go to stop or vice versa (i think it was brought up by Wh1stl3r). - No issues with mine at all. Didn't feel the "tug" being described. From what I felt, might it not be the breaks engaging/disengaging with the Brake-Hold? I tested with Brake Hold ON and OFF but didn't experience this on my unit.
3) Power - from my test drive and previous Post, this was a concern. Driving my own now, it looks like praning lang ako. With Econ mode ON, I didn't feel alanganin at all. though I was the only passenger and no cargo...
4) Fuel Economy - Not tested fill up method but the car computer started at 8 km/L then quickly jumped above 12 km/L. driving style is relaxed with seldom flooring of the pedal.
HELP NEEDED FROM OTHER OWNERS:
1) Does the Diesel V variant come with Android Auto/Apple Car Play??? That is what I read online and the sales people said the same thing, all variants come with it. But the manual says to connect to 1.5A USB port. there is none on this variant. And from the looks of the OS and startup, walang option mag Android Auto or Apple Car Play...![]()
No Android Auto and Carplay on the V variant.
