Rickster 5th Gear October 25, 2022 Share October 25, 2022 32 minutes ago, therock said: Did some errands and I dropped by Leng Kee to KPO... The Sienta is quite decent looking, but I wonder how much is it to change the battery? 5-6k at least I think... which will kill any fuel savings and the final value is lower due to the VES grade Good leg room and lots of storage The Honda Freed is a VES B car, BUT only two airbags - sad... And for both cars, the second row seats are set low, so it may not suit taller folks, as the thigh support is minimal.. Lydia Sui at Honda is friendly and knowledgeable.. no pressure to buy either Also, for the price of a CRV, you can get a GLB... I think Honda won't be moving too many units... Agree, the CRV does look like from another generation/world altogether. Hmmm... maybe those people who are scared to be called brand whore will buy CRV 🤣🤣 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic October 25, 2022 Share October 25, 2022 I think the CRV is ok, but not at that price.. Just like the Accord, it's priced out of the market, even though it's actually a decent car.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The net price might be a bit different, but as I mentioned, it's no apples to apples comparison. The CRV is much bigger, but the lensing to the buyer is a conti premium brand Mexican vs an Asian Thai car.. Remember the A3 vs Corolla thread? The TS was trying very hard to share about his decision, and to me, it's perfectly fine, if it makes the buyer happy.. However, lets not turn this into a anti Honda session. On the other hand, Honda should have kept the Odyssey, I think that's a nice car, even if it was using a 1.5l turbo too.. The Freed at 160k and the CRV at 212k is just too dear..

Problem with CRV is EOL. Diff Cat contributes to the price difference. GLB200 which is Cat B is $280k. That’s $50k more than CRV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRV cost price is $210k because it is turbo Cat B, GLB is Cat A at cost of $168k, it is clear who makes more if both cars are sold at about the same price.

It’s always pedal to the metal to go fast. If you want to go faster and not flog and waste fuel then add additional pressure tot he pedal and keep it there.
