First, thank you for filming and sharing it. I doubt anyone from Finland has one about this vehicle in winter driving conditions. I'm divided if I should go for Toyota Corolla cross, upcoming Dacia Duster 2024 or this one. Toyota corolla cross has a proven system, Dacia Duster will have renault engine so this is yet to be seen. Honda HR-V e:HEV is for 2 years in market but so far it appears to be holding strong. May I ask how much did you pay and from where did you buy this vehicle? Honda dealers in Finland have high korko, since there Honda doesn't sell directly in Finland like Toyota does.
Dacia in general uses previous generation Renault drivetrain. It depends, I had Renault Talisman 1.6 petrol (TCE150), that engine was good (at least until 85 000km when I sold it). According to customer feedback, that engine is strong (and it is not undersized for Talisman at least, that is always important that engine sizing is correct for car weight and intended use). EDC Dual clutch transmission probably quite durable also (but not the smoothest). e:HEV have been bit longer on market on other regions... Pricing seems to be given by Honda, because it is always same and haggling is down to offer from possible exchange car and interest rate (korko). Difference to Toyota is that Toyota has Toyota financing. I got almost identical interest rate as Toyota financing offered at that time...probably due high trust rate (AAA) of dealer (financing was by bank). HR-V is (or at least was when I bought) here about 36 000e starting, 40 000e for Advanced and 42 000e for Advanced style.
