2023s aren’t all turbos

I’m 6’5 my wife just got one of theses in a 24 model I have more room than my 19 Tacoma

Congrats!

I have mine arriving next week. So how have you found merging onto freeway and passing on freeway?

@@augsburgbiblechannel9246 Very exciting! I'm mainly done city driving the last week, but very happy with the way it handles so far, and so roomy inside.

@@adventuressashley one last thing -- It felt like it had idle stop when I test drove it, but my mind was on a lot of things examining the car. So does yours have it?

Nice! Mine should be in the end of this month 😁

Where did you get your LX with those features? Just bought one and remote start was only available in the sport trim

Not the forehead😂 availability is kind of an issue with a ton of models. As far as markup goes, it depends on your region. If you want my advice, I'd find a good, large dealer and then order (typically this means waiting for their next allocation). Of course, this means ordering one without driving it first, but I can't see any dealer holding your deposit if you drive it and don't like it. If we want markups to go away, don't buy over msrp so travel if you have to!

all you've posted sounds more of a dealership issue

@@Alixdkari That's all four Honda dealerships within normal driving range of me. :(

So sorry that's happening to you. It sucks when people don't treat you right. I have two dealerships fairly close and they were both more than gracious last April when I was hunting Civic. One actually called me and let me know when one was on its way and just took my word not a deposit. They added stuff to the car but didn't mark it up. Hang in there.

@@Inobscurity-n7j Thx. To me adding stuff is the same as adendum. I also looked at a Taos SE and they had no markup (actually 500 off MSRP) but they added 600 for tinting the front two windows and 600 for a paint protection thing. IMO those are just profit addons but the Taos there seems to be way more availability and prices are lower. Honda has a much nicer interior than the Taos did though, everything on the Taos was hard plastic. Don't think anything I touched was soft or stitched.

2024 for 3 years?

😊

Thank you, it definitely seems like it could have used just a little more of a budget. It has a ton of potential for a mid cycle refresh

I really miss them too, the new platform seems to not support the fuel tank placement of the old fits that allowed it to have the magic seats :(

Yes it makes me nauseated

Definitely did not notice that with my EXL and i took it on the highway a lot, some cars have a little hood flutter but 1 inch seems like a serious safety issue and maybe a problem with yours in particular.

Never happened to me ever

Agreed, that's why I just say this is pointing toward the right direction.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

It is upscale, it does have a partial digital cluster, and I mentioned about all of what you said in this video. It has a premium FEEL for the segment, not premium features.

@@Realistick you Americans have a different perception of what premium is or not than we Europeans, if you see a little bit leather inside you think it´s premium but only a little bit leather inside makes a car not to a premium car in Europe, here in Europe you can buy very cheap cars with leather seats thats nothing special. Maybe we have other points of view?

@@alengreen589😂 it's not just a bit of leather, although I'm convinced some Americans do believe that. MANY cars here offer leather. I think European cars like an audi a4 are great examples of what I am talking about. A base audi a4 also has very little "premium" features, on top of the driving experience, you pay for the quality of the materials, the tactile feeling of the buttons, panel fitment. It's a satisfying interior. A VW Taos has all of the features you just mentioned, but compared to the HR-V, it feels like fisher price had a hand in production. See what I mean? An HR-V has awesome button/dial feel, soft touch materials all around, clean design, and is more satisfying to use then most of its competitors. As I said in my video, the tradeoff is features. I think this could kill it with a top spec touring trim!

@@Realistick thank you 😀

@@alengreen589 Wow, show your judgmental bias why don't you. How would you know what kind of "premium" the presenter is referring to if you're European? This car isn't even offered in Europe! If you would drive cars it competes against, you would know EXACTLY what the presenter is referring to when talking about it feeling more premium.

I didn't think they tested the new HR-V yet?

IIHS reports are up now and it did well. I think that’s why they changed the base/frame and it’s a bigger car now.

It's actually fine at highway speeds, it's at low speeds where it is a bit painful!

@@Realistick where I live alot of city roads turn into highways so you'd be getting lapped from the light to the highway before u even hit 100 from 0 lol

What about a new car with an engine from the 2000s?🧐
