Most of the points are valid but my friend, market doesnt work like this.
KLM4-year warranty is just rubbish..May God saves u from the dealership dependancy of Kia and Hyundai... You big3 provide much superior aftersales
EU cars are very unreliable. The 3 cylinder engine is vibrating even on a new car. Let's see after 2-3 years.
I drove it i launch and it was very decent to drive, even better than Sportage a mile. HRV has nothing attractive other than shape but will sell 10 times better because
- CSUV and 0-100 hardly matter. It's not a sedan and is not meant to handle like a sedan
- Parts pricing, even today has an insane difference
- Honda reliability and excellent after-sales.
- Guarantee that parts will be available new/oem/genuine/ used etc
People consider many things before putting money. It's not a small amount after all. BTW internal leg room of HRV is way better and doesn't feel congested.
