    Also my personal experience sa prev gen HR-V (couz has it), the R18 engine is barely enough just like the Civic FC 1.8.

    My issue is nag downgrade sila from 1.8 to 1.5. Honda killed the R18 globally kase eh.
    I remember playing with a City 1.5 Manual comparing it with my City CVT.

    The engine was more than enough and it was fun driving the Manual version.

    My problem with the CVT is that I feel that it needs time to respond.

    The car can climb Baguio (etc)
    it can reach 120kms/h

    my issue is the 0-100 and 80-120, the response is just not there.

    Exactly, imagine the same drivetrain on the much heavier HR-V (heavier than the Civic din).
