To those wondering about why this car is now mine: No need to speculate - it's not important why and how I bought it over from my buddy. Those are our personal reasons between him and I. I shared some of it on my IG - just because you didn't see it doesn't mean I'm trying to "hide" this story. It's just because you're not my follower and do not follow the journey of this vehicle.

[@weikeong3946]

I remembered that story so fast it's been a year.... Hope ur fren is doin better now...😊

[@rahuljayachandran4128]

Absolutely love it when you do car Reviews man, Keep them coming Mate....

[@LimReviews]

Thanks man! Still working on them!

[@DavidTorres-pt5nj]

amazing chanel cheers from portugal

[@Uncle_Drew0227]

Wow! Honda all the way! I own a Brio but the HRV is just a head turner. Congrats again on the upgrades you did on your model. Enjoy and drive safe.

[@LimReviews]

Cheers buddy!

[@orotherwise]

Great to see that you’re still enjoying the car. I can’t believe it’s been a year already.

[@LimReviews]

Ikr!

[@syntechnet]

I believe you can replace the part behind the infotainment screen to a much smaller one as I have seen in FB group

[@popoterr2490]

Yeah..finally..we need to know this s specs 😩

[@fahmiadlee9151]

I using a800 skarang ni mmg padu 70mai semua clear je

[@nyovelesimeonchima7663]

I like your advert concerning this my dreamed machine. How much is the current price.

[@duwansofficial1690]

helo Lim, boleh tau harga sport rim tu? n beli mana? n saiz brapa? cantikk sgt

[@giancarlom.]

How is the ground clearance on the HR-V?

[@crimsonnightt]

At first, I was getting 18km.l and then I watched what the Japanese people were doing and the recommendation was to dive with SPORT MODE + Adaptive Cruise Control set to 30lm. It fills the battery up faster and you can move it to Normal (highway) or Eco (city) for ev-driving. My gas went from 18 to 21. I take US36 to fill the tank and I drive for about 3.5 weeks between refills.

[@yusriyusuff2541]

The dashboard originally in english or japanese? PI car is in japanese..cn it be change to english?

[@bossskucing8308]

I got the 1.5 turbo, puaas laah😊

YA ALLAH MULIAKAN DAN BAHAGIAKAN SEMUA ORANG YG PUNYA MOBIL HRV. YA ALLAH KABULKANLAH DOA SEMUA ORANG YG INGIN PUNYA MOBIL HONDA HRV

[@ryanting8783]

I believe the dashcam only gives you audible alerts. But Honda Sensing not only gives audible alerts but also actually gives driving feedback to the driver e.g.: auto emergency braking for the front, steering wheel readjust itself and vibrates when you swerve to another lane unintentionally. So, the dashcam definitely do not give you the same thing as Honda Sensing

[@LimReviews]

You’re spot on with that. The dashcam is just a voice whereas HS itself is integrated into the vehicle.

[@PTYC933]

I like the stock rims, goes well with the rice cooker looking hrv, I am more inclined towards the ehev model, I like electric motors. You get to run ac for about 10 minutes on battery.

[@LimReviews]

You've got a point there on the EHEV!

[@sara.cbc92]

Any steering rack issue?

[@cantonmang177]

Glad u liked your car. But in your first video review (1 year ago), you said this car was your friend's? So he sold it to you?

[@LimReviews]

I actually shared about it on my IG story back then. Anyway long story short, yes - do check the pinned comment. People here are wildly guessing something that isn't even of concern.

[@iketan424]

May I please know where you installed the 70mai 4k dashcam? Was it also bought online then installed on site or totally from a vendor in Malaysia?

[@iketan424]

Er. saw the shopee link you posted. haha. sorry. But was it self-installed?

[@frankchong5585]

Rear door is due to weight. Add sound proof materials will make the door heavier and will close the door with lesser effort

[@LimReviews]

Thanks for the tip Frank!

[@yoloitzalex8632]

I went for the E variant because of the underpower part as im a driver who always rush to places due to a busy schedule, I hope honda drop this 1.5 engine for S variant and uses the 1.8 NA instead for the facelifted S variant.

[@LimReviews]

Tbh I wanted to go for E as well. But I felt that for E, I was just buying an engine upgrade. The interior and most remain the same. The reasonable one for me was the V, but too far for budget, so I decided to settle for the S. But you're right about the 1.8NA. Hopefully the 1.5 gets dropped.

[@siewkee6093]

Need to know

[@ericlai3221]

thanks for sharing

[@MuhdAkmal98]

Hi do you get PPF wrap for your car? Any recommended shops 😁

[@LimReviews]

Yeah I did. Only the front portion actually. Personally the place that I went was just OK so wouldn't really recommend.

[@MuhdAkmal98]

@@LimReviews I see. And how much the cost when you wrap the front bumper? Plan to do it since our highway have so many small rocks flying.

[@mubarakahmad4123]

Bro did you put any kind of skirting/diffuser in the front bumper?

[@LimReviews]

Nope only thing I changed were the rims and tyres.

[@reggietjahjadi2722]

bro do you find the front suspension is kinda noisy over small speed bumps with low speed? it's like a mild knocking sound

[@LimReviews]

Sorry for late reply bro. No such issue for me.

[@vssk674]

Rear Door Can Adjust The Lock

[@ChanCh0_5]

Very clean look gives the feels of jdm ❤

[@tototim7056]

Oh boy, the S variant can get 11km/L to 12km/L, while Turbo variant V can get 13km/L to 14km/L. Of course, variant RS way beyond this two.

[@shzemingable]

How about uphill and downhill with HRV-s experience?

[@LimReviews]

No issues. The twisty and curvy road towards Ipoh can be driven very easily. Most other cars still climbing. It ultimately depends on how hard you wanna press the pedal.

[@Luckyamor]

There is no way to isolate engine noise in the cabin 😔

[@popoterr2490]

Hi really need to choose either tcch or hrv spec s because tcch got rebate now ..but i cant try the spec S at any showroom before im buying..so frustrated..

[@LimReviews]

Sorry but what is TCCH again?

[@potato-4369]

i think he was referrring to Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid@@LimReviews

[@Kiluwark]

As one of the owner of HRV, i would say that the seat arent that good. Most of my passenger always complain having back ache after riding my car.

[@sadcrusade1]

As one of owner, i want to know your passanger’s age, check their age plz

[@azhar5912]

the new facelift of that slopping roof is bad 😅 it may look good but it made less practical.😅

[@im2102]

LimS Evolution? ❤❤🎉🎉

[@LimReviews]

LOL just a normal daily driver!

[@wyekit8668]

He bought an "affordable" and lower spec variant but expected a Mercedes features and build quality. 😅

[@DJHiroProductions]

Yeah and very bad choice of purchase. I think honda vehicles are overpriced for what they offer. In my opinion i would rather buy a used cx5 for the that price

[@LimReviews]

No laa where got so serious. Only expect Honda Civic power 😅

[@eainyeoh4360]

getting the power of honda city@@LimReviews

[@giancarlom.]

If you actually have ridden a Merc IRL, this Honda is better. Merc is all posh, and you’d spend hundreds of £ for maintenance, especially the AMG. Honda’s build quality is more solid than Merc.

[@yoo-xh8iv]

@@LimReviewswill this be good for a new driver

[@chanweiloon1713]

Nice wheels Lim 😨

[@tanhongyuan6212]

Nice car Lim

[@fkmyoutube]

Any steering rack issues?

[@LimReviews]

Nope! Do you have issues with yours?

[@fkmyoutube]

@@LimReviews don't own a HRV hehe, but have been hearing other owners saying they have this issues

[@LimReviews]

@@fkmyoutube eh really? I'm in the HRV owners group and barely see anyone mention it tho. Maybe I'm not seeing enough haha.

[@fkmyoutube]

@@LimReviews perhaps it's more prominent in the CRV and Civic models. Anyways, nice car review!

[@djvexus]

add sound insulation material to your door make it heavy to close

[@LimReviews]

Yes! I'm actually looking around for this, thanks for reminding me!

[@kelvintanlk249]

How much is the dashcam?

[@LimReviews]

The camera alone is RM500++ might be better to check out the links in description for latest pricing.

[@Jerrytan188]

Should get at least turbo bro. It will be very frustrated If U keep been tailgating or pass by Myvi's especially when u plan to keep this car 5 - 7 years.

[@LimReviews]

Yeah! Exactly! E spec was already out of budget. V spec can't even consider :( Anyway just tahan first haha.

[@Jerrytan188]

@@LimReviews No worries. As long as everyone don't skip ad & comment should be ok

[@LimReviews]

@@Jerrytan188 Haha thank you bro!

[@wueyTshuanMike]

please try x50 and review hahaa

[@LimReviews]

Back then I wanted to get X50 too, but the waiting time was too long lol!
