Good to know, how is the aircon and ventilation? My previous Hondas have been pretty bad with windows fogging up all the time drove me mad and often in winter the inside of the screen was wet. That was in a 2012 civic and a 2018 jazz btw but the jazz was terrible for it.
It seems like a minor point to many people, and nearly everybody gets it wrong, but most often: 1) The engine drives a generator. 2) The generated electricity is split between the traction motor and charging the battery. 3) The traction motor drives the wheels. This is done because the engine can stay its most efficient rpm *_and_* *_power._* It can happen at any speed, not just lower speeds. If the motor needs more power than the engine is providing, the battery assists. It is only when *_cruising_* above ~40 mph that the engine is connected to the wheels, since it can still stay at optimum efficiency. There are two reasons it is wrong to say the engine charges the battery (4:50). (1) Charging and discharging the battery add extra losses that are are not only unnecessary, (2) it is impossible since you can;t charge and discharge a battery at the same time.
I took this model due to excellent overall quality and gadgets yet within 200 miles the drivers seat bolster showed creasing in the leather, so apparently they replaced the interior foam an new lather, yet within 2 weeks the same came back and also started to show on the opposite bolster, it has now still got the same problem and with less than 1000k miles which the seat you would think had 100k miles on, I have just getting it back today and in my opinion they said there's nothing they can do, I am seriously thinking of handing it back as it embarrassing seeing the poor seat condition, as I also have a 17 year old focus st and has no bolster wear nor weakness in bolster, this car is around 42 k anfmd yet the drivers seat looks like it's 19byears old, can anyone advise me of this situation, yours KR
Shame it’s made in China. They close production in uk claiming to want more home production. Then introduce this model which is on the civic platform which was built in Swindon. Bit of a insult Honda.
I have better cars to chose with the 40 grand that this car costs.Just look at what used 2-3 year old premium cars you can get for that money.Also you have the Juke,Hrv,Crv and now the Zrv.You are cramming too many into this range.
This is where all the buyers are. And why on earth would we buy used premium cars? If anything goes wrong or the previous owners were an idiot, you'll end up paying big.
Look at a hybrid,c-class or an e=class merc.Look what you can get for 40 grand nearly new c-class hybrid.Man that is a million times better than a Honda.In the end it is your choice but 40 grand for a small Honda suv,is stupid.
@@johnnywires943Merc quality is crap these days. Honda are the real deal in terms of quality. Far better than Merc who live off badge image. Do your own research.
@@jdmguy44 I have done my research.There is absolutely no comparison between German premium cars and Honda.Just have a look at what you can get with 40,000.Personally if i went Japanese there are so many others to chose from,better than Honda.Toyota,RV4,Mazda CX5,for instance.Look at what you can get in Lexus,territory for 40 grand and those cars last a lifetime.Whatever you say the Honda is no match for luxury with German Premium cars.A 2 year or less even can get you a Merc Glc or an Audi Q3 or a BMW X3.Honda are very good but no way near the German class.What do i drive?I have gone for a 2022 Mazda CX5,which i got just over a year ago and for the money,that car is amazing.40 grand will get you a new one and i feel that is a better buy than the Honda.This is just my opinion.
@@jdmguy44 You have Van Gogh's ear for car knowledge.I will not criticize anymore.The Billions that buy German Premium cars have answered for me.Just for the record,Lexus,is up there with the best.
Just about the clearest and most sensible review I've seen.
By far the best Honda car I’ve bought. Loving it after two weeks.
Great to hear!
What an amazing car. Had mine nearly 2 weeks. And love it. Style comfort power everything

Now 4 months
This is the car I'd pick from this class. Very smart looking with good power and efficiency. I know from experience Honda quality is top notch.
I like u just like ZR-V…. Keep delivering
😂
thank you for best review I have seen so far, really looking forward to trying this out
Glad it was helpful!
Appreciate the upload
Does this Honda have 360 camera?
Is it still made in Japan?
Have they protected the catalytic converter ?
If its anything like my Jazz then yes because it's just behind the engine where it's very difficult to get to (apparently)
Cat theft much more of an issue on old Honda's.
Cool

you really shouldn't have brexitted then.
@@shanemurphy9024 nothing to do with Brexit, so go play with your fairies
@@Geoff-n1d Honda was thinking of relocating but any logic in staying was ended by brexit. And from your response obviously I am already.....
People's perception of sporty, from a grill that looks mean to something you could put eggs into if it was on it's side?
