For a country that takes value for money into consideration pretty much all the time, why do I not see reviewers talking about warranty and total cost of ownership in these review and comparison articles, and even in YouTube videos? I am not referring to this article only, but I have just observed that US and UK/AU reviewers mention those often, but here in PH it doesn't seem like most reviewers are not interested to discuss it.

The pricing admittedly stretched them too thin (on features-to-pricing ratio.)<br /><br />But those segments are cutthroat competitive now Honda should better bring the Hybrid CR-V ASAP or they'll lose to the other similarly-specced competition. The segment where the base-spec HRV and the Creta sits are where it is extreme price-sensitive. Add more cash and potential buyers will look elsewhere, and with that the Creta is the more sensible option—otherwise the potential buyers will be swayed away again by the Chinese offerings (which is getting really good btw.) And yes, I also absolutely disliked the Stargazer's gauges it is comical at best, let alone the copious amounts of plastic on the bezels it's unnecessary at best. I can't think of more comedic one-liners to describe that driver interior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-71983393509996038372023-02-27T08:34:55.220+08:002023-02-27T08:34:55.220+08:00I'm no product planner, but I would think Hond...I'm no product planner, but I would think Honda could do better if they'd bring in the WR-V here. If it was available, I'd use the WR-V to fight against the lower priced crossovers (Raize, Stonic, Creta), and discontinue the HR-V S in favor of the V Turbo and RS Turbo. Then, I'd go with a turbo engine as the CR-V's base engine and the top trims will have the hybrid.Ulysses Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863291552170192774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-56179486724985901282023-02-27T08:32:09.737+08:002023-02-27T08:32:09.737+08:00Honda seems keen on using the HR-V to fend off SUV...Honda seems keen on using the HR-V to fend off SUVS from at least THREE categories that's why there's a huge jump in pricing and specs on the 1.5 S, 1.5 V Turbo, and 1.5 RS Turbo. I wasn't too keen on the 1.5 V Turbo--I found the added equipment to be a bit disappointing, but admittedly, it is the better drive. If only they kept the pricing of the HR-V 1.5 S to below P 1.3M, it would have been okay.<br /><br />And you're right...once you reach the P 1.7M to P 1.8M range, the choices suddenly change. You have the Corolla Cross and the Kicks e-Power too. Although, the Corolla Cross Hybrid, I find is much better as the Kicks still feels too "de-contented." Feels like Nissan had a pricing in mind when they came up with the Kicks and compromised along the way.<br /><br />And I agree about the Stargazer. Front visibility is compromised (not because of the gauges, but because of the deep dash design and sharp A-pillar). Not a fan of the gauges too. They looked okay for a short drive, but after a while, it gets to my nerves. It looked too busy.Ulysses Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863291552170192774noreply@blogger.com
