1.City driving specially quirino ave (...I own one. <br />1.City driving specially quirino ave (the one with skyway construction) is around 6-7 km/l while skyway driving is around 17ish km/l. <br /><br />2.The ride is smooth like a sedan on a well paved road but since the tire is kinda thin at 55 only you can definitely feel the roughness of edsa pavement or small rocks if you happen to step on one. <br /><br />3.Acceleration is ok if you rev it above 3000 but your ecolight will definitely not be green. <br /><br />4. The annoying part for me is the trunk door opening specially at the malls where they inspect your trunk space. You dont have a latch to open it except unlock all the doors, which for me is a security risk. i dont know maybe i just havent found the latch for the trunk opening yet. <br /><br />5. The hmdi slot does not work according to honda, so if you plan to buy a tv plus you need to have your cool 7 in mid taken out and replaced with an after market player (honda would offer avt system for 50k) just so you could watch your favorite telenobela. We havent tried plugging it woth any hdmi device yet so kindly include that on your assestment after you test drive.<br /><br />6. The handling is superb specially on curve turns. You would never feel unstable or thrown around.<br /><br />7. The hold brake function is such a blessing. On a heavy congested areas you can just press it and let go of the brake. You can keep it on hold brake function on stop and go situation just press the brake a little harder when your on complte stop and it will hold (this is only when the hold brake is still armed). No need to press it everytime you stop and go. This is for situations like super heavy 4 km/hr kind of traffic.<br /><br />8. You can deactivate the "hand brake" if you have your seat belt on by applying a little pressure on the acceleration. It will deactivate the hand brake with pressing the button.<br /><br />9. The manual option (paddle shift) is ok for ling drive just to make you busy and anti-sleepyness. It automatically lowers speed everytime you press on the brake. This manual option is awesome for a guy whos been driving stick shift for 15 yrs. <br /><br />10. Cruise control is for tplex sctex only.<br /><br />Even though it may be a front wheel drive car or an overpriced cross over this car is awesome and head turner.<br /><br />No regrets whatsoever.<br />Hope this helps.<br />Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14690167585860497282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-3519600698878566592016-06-18T21:07:28.563+08:002016-06-18T21:07:28.563+08:00I'm gonna second this question as we are also ...I'm gonna second this question as we are also looking for our first car and we need a crossover or SUV.:))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-22385627992379456712016-06-10T08:51:17.154+08:002016-06-10T08:51:17.154+08:00I think a problem would be with the parts.

Though the Mitsubishi does have a 2.0-liter motor for almost the same price, the HR-V is a much newer car. Not only is the driving better or at par with the ASX, the HR-V also has a better packaged interior as well. It's also more fuel efficient for city driving.<br /><br />You can also look at the Subaru XV. It's pricier at P 1,398,000, but I've heard Subaru is discounting them heavily--as much as P 150,000 off. This means, you can get the XV for around P 1,248,000. You get more safety equipment and the added security of AWD.Ulysses Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863291552170192774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-31725781374713387952016-04-02T22:05:15.204+08:002016-04-02T22:05:15.204+08:00Hi Sir Uly, we're planning on buying a car soo...Hi Sir Uly, we're planning on buying a car soon.

However, frankly speaking, it seems Honda tend to keep their value better compared to Subaru (except for the second-generation CR-V). But I ask you this: will you actually buy a car based simply on re-sale value?Ulysses Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863291552170192774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-14518512213342535832016-03-28T12:01:33.208+08:002016-03-28T12:01:33.208+08:00Thanks.Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768879990713523468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-73489786188852778682016-03-28T12:01:14.508+08:002016-03-28T12:01:14.508+08:00Dear CGPH: Seeking your professional opinion.

Just in case I opted the 2015, will this affect that much in the long run in terms of resale value (in case we need to resell it)?

Looked at your reviews and each one helped quite a bit.<br /><br />Price-wise, HR-V pricing forced us to consider the Forester which really gives more value. HR-V E @ 1.230 vs Forester 2.0i L with minor changes (touch screen with back-up camera) @ 1.310 after discounts.<br /><br />Mid-cycle updates mean brand new models? Like the 2016 Fortuner? Or same model just improved features?<br /><br />In any case, thanks again for the response and yes we have really shifted towards the Forester giving a lot more value for just a little bit more in price.

The HR-V is more of an urban crossover while the Forester is more versatile. That said, you can consider the likes of the Subaru XV if you want. It's more in the price range of the HR-V.<br /><br />Take note: both the Subaru XV and Forester are due for their mid-cycle updates real soon.Ulysses Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863291552170192774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-40856787296132014812015-11-09T10:36:30.851+08:002015-11-09T10:36:30.851+08:00http://www.carguide.ph/2015/08/review-2015-honda-h...http://www.carguide.ph/2015/08/review-2015-honda-hr-v-18-el-mugen.html<br /><br />http://www.carguide.ph/2015/06/first-drive-honda-hr-v-18-e-and-18-el.html<br /><br />http://www.carguide.ph/2013/07/review-2013-subaru-forester-20-i-l.htmlUlysses Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863291552170192774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-64493707012613577422015-11-07T22:28:28.954+08:002015-11-07T22:28:28.954+08:00Hello Car Guide PH, been going through your review...Hello Car Guide PH, been going through your reviews and comment sections.
