Don't know why people are laughing about the comparison, this is exactly what i was thinking actually, whether to get new Ativa or 2nd hand HRV. Thanks for the comparison, very clear pros and cons. The HRV is still a value proposition, especially if you get at least one year warranty left, so you can get everything checked and covered before it's over.

Another thing to note: this gen HRV price might drop more when the new Vezel comes into the market. Might be a good bargain for a 2017-18 HRV in 2022 if the timing works out for someone out there.

i agree. hrv still very compelling simply due to its packaging especially in its usage of space. the ultra seats is just too good and its 2nd row deceivingly spacious. Boot space iinm is still class leading.

Ativa vs Hrv? Im more impress with his vocabulary range, he is really wise with his words. Thanks for the review.

finally there's a comparison video that I would thought up sometimes, thumbs up

LOL alot of comment says this is joke comparison not fair lah different segment lah that why Wapcar use "2nd hand HRV" instead of new one that cost RM105K price tag ...btw this is good comparison between lower segment NEW car (Ativa) vs upper segment but "USED"... HRV is more refined due to 4 cylinder 1.8 N/a engine & more practical. used market around RM70K + if u really don't mind used car and active safety feature yeah HRV is worth to considered

This is a fresh view on car purchase, I like it, instead of the usual which new car to get

Hi Jason. An excelent piece. A friend actually used yr video to decide on purchase. Best wishes for more value output. Hey .. your lingo is class man.

Very good comparison. I happen to be considering the exact car models. I'm more likely to get the hrv after this video. My sons are kinda tall so the taller head space and leg space will come in handy.

I did the exact comparison last two months. ended up with ativa. One of the main reason, is the interest rate. much2 higher for a 6 years old car, at 3.5-3.8 PA compared to new ones at 2.34 PA. And, i havent got any luck with proper maintaned specimen of HRV. I aint going that TLC journey yet once again like my e39, coz i dont love HRV that much. :P

nice review jason :) good comparison to a secondhand car!

Very Good Comparison , Thanks a lot 👍✌️

This is good comparison, im from Jakarta and daihatsu rocky VS 2nd hand hrv are in the same price

He comparing New ativa with used HRv. Not comparing based on pricing but so we see an option on the same price range. I actually looking for this kind of video.

Very good comparison review that i was looking for :) I was driving HRV for 6years now, when Ativa came out, I had a crazy idea to get the Ativa, but seriously the space killing me, it can't fit in my 2-meter long working equipment, my HRV when full load it looks like a pasar malam stall and ready to go, but the maintenance fee is the bigger challenge for an older car

​@@SyhaDan Actually, I had lots of bad experiences with their service 1. I remember once my hrv can't start and stuck at Jalan tun Razak in the midnight, the car was 2 years old, so I make a few calls to the honda 1800 helpline but the line looks like under maintenance can't get through, this makes me super mad on them, lucky the parking jockey help me to jumpstart. after the event, I write an email to them this will be the last honda I brought with them. I think maybe now they have improved their service? haha 2. When i get the car, got a funny "beezee" sound at the speaker area, after switching 4 service centres, final they found is the petrol cap open handle loosen cause the "beezee" sound while driving :) 3. the boot actually getting loosen after a few years, I had to buy a screwdriver to tighten the hock, lucky someone accidentally hit my car boot, now I got a new one :) I brought a low spec HRV, the car itself is actually a very good car, you got a space that can fit 2 durian baskets side by side while the chair flat, still got space at the boot, a magical chair can fold up to fit in 1.2meter tripod, full load long journey no problem, super fuel-efficient, very robust, quality car brake and stability control saving me a lot of time. I am quite heavy use, reaching 10k every 3 months, maintenance with honda service a bit expensive, i went outside workshop after finish the warranty, now i feel that condition still good. The car was good but the after-sale cause you headache :) haha

@@Caskep03275 Thank You Sir, In terms of practical it is definitely the car to buy I'm aiming at 2nd hand Hrv myb 2015 or 2017 since 2016 n 2018 models have recall... I will take your advice My worry is only the reliability regarding this car, If bought 2nd hand... I was hoping that I can get 10 years, kinda worry on that part I read some guy has problem with cvt transmission ngam2 after warranty finish

My mom has HRV, my aunt have BMW 3 series E90 and I have Ativa. Of course the older BMW has best driving experience, HRV second, and Ativa third. But I am really happy with Ativa for its new affordable price (same price as stupid Nissan Almari years ago) and good driving experience, safety features and practical space. But oh how I wish Ativa has magic seats like HRV which is really practical!

how about the height of these 2 cars? Ativa is a more fun to drive especially the fully adaptive headlight. really love it. it makes my night driving experience really comfortable and relaxing. also DNGA really help rear passenger prevent wobbling feel which i experienced severely in my friend's hrv. my ativa driving experience reminded me the feel of my old camry.

Well, if i have the money/budget, surely i'll think of the new ativa & the used hrv as options if i want to buy a new car.. maintenance wise, maybe i choose the ativa..

Great comparison and this is what it miss on most of the other vehicle media platform. For me at least from the consumer standpoint, most of the time is not about what is the class of the car or maybe which segment of the car or whether it is a SUV or sedan car or even the car is new or not. It is more about what can I get for this budget. Brilliant Video. Thanks Jason!

Pre facelift HRV V Spec seat's are far more comfortable than the Facelift V and RS specs seats in my opinion. The seat's have more support, cushion and the half leather half cloth vs full PU leather adds to the general comfort. The only up for the face lift V and RS is the electric adjustable driver's seat.

from these 2 comparisons, i chose ativa

Nice and wise ideas comparison..

As long as they fixed the infamous suspension problems, HRV with the ULTRA seat is far more practical

Clearly people who dont get this comparison is not in the market for it... if someone really contemplating between this 2, i believe this video helps them in choosing the right one... to be honest how many time we look for segment when buying a car as a real world user? All we care is the price and is it worth it...

It is really worth the second hand car trouble or just get a new car?

Could you comments their NVH for both cars?

Go for honda, although it’s a used car, you will get honda quality.

I was considering exactly this option several months ago. I've owned 2 Hondas before, 1 had a cvt failure and had to be scrapped. In the end I chose the Ativa, I've never bought a second hand car before and maybe that's why lol. In comparison, the Ativa has more fancy gadgets and displays too. The HRV is still an older gen car with analog dials and barely any equipment.

If you’re a family man who love yours family, how can you forego safety features found in the Ativa that aren’t in the HRV. Surely your family’s safety rates higher than selfish driving pleasure

any car that has electric stability control will be good enough already actually, your perception about safety feature is shaped by the commercial and advertisement, so that they can upsell their cars above their competitor brands

If I had more money it is ok to go for hrv. But i will choose ativa as it is affordable for the budget.

As a family man, with 2 kids also, between the HRV and Ativa, I'll choose the Toyota 86.

i dont think it is a relevant comparison... i will tell you why: 1) comparison of the build quality for RM70K cars vs RM100K car totally out of league. regardless its is new or used. eg: bmw year 1999 build quality still better than proton saga.. 2) you just played with the car prices but you forgotten to mention that the interest for new & used car have very huge gaps, not to mention that there is a tax holiday for new car.

After he sold his 2015 HR-V he will get another SUV 2021. But definitely not Ativa because both 2 different segment. For this segment HR-V segment and price above Rm100k+ got so many choice la. 2015 hrv poor resale value, bank market value Rm40k-Rm50k, used car dealers is taking less that it
