Indoor/outdoor
+ The quality is there. Everything is well thought out.
+ The seats offer good seating and comfort. The dashboard is very readable.
- The lacquered appearance of certain plastics is always subject to marks: a MATTE appearance would have been more appropriate. - The rear of the black driver and passenger seats gets dirty quickly with children. the front and central ceiling lighting is hardly convincing: you can't see much since everything is black!
+ The leather covering of the steering wheel is very pleasant to the touch.
- On the other hand, I informed my dealer that the steering wheel is not aligned (slightly crooked, towards the outside) but the vehicle is well balanced.
Performance and road behavior
For my part, it's perfect. We feel perfectly safe. Braking is excellent, restarts in ECO mode also suit me. The aerodynamic noises are slight and I don't pay attention to them. The steering is a bit firm on the highway but it's very good. I did 80% of the highway over 400 km for 5.8 liters of consumption. It's honorable. Other route Roissy airport (160 km) department road/small towns and expressways 90 km/h: consumption of 4.2 l/100.
After 1500 km traveled, I have just taken a motorway trip and I noticed a rather unpleasant “purring” noise (bearings? tires? other?) on certain sections of motorways, between 80 and 130 km/h, and less on national roads.
Equipment and technologies
I appreciate everything. The media screen is of good quality and I don't have any reflections. The air conditioning/temp/ventilation controls are perfect. The audio part is correct. The DAB drops out quite often in my area but the reception is of better quality than the FM band. The navigation system is good but the precise searches are not convincing (did not find ROISSY airport terminal 2E).
I was able to download the map update onto a 64 GB USB key (32 GB minimum is required) with great ease. Apparently, the POIs of HONDA France dealerships are missing on the latest version. The update was carried out without problems (40 min).
The driving aids are very good and easy to get used to. The electrical/thermal transition takes place without anyone knowing, without jerks.
For me who is tall (1.85 m), the driving position is perfect.
Too bad there is no automatic door locking! On the other hand, when you open a door, it remains in position: this is a plus and it prevents it from hitting if you are parked close to something.
Conclusion
I chose this vehicle for its reliability, its design, its hybrid mode: this car ticks all these criteria.
I didn't get the price increase so the price seemed fair. The delay has been too long: progress must be made!
