naadopaasaka<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\nTest drove the Elevate CVT from Dakshin Honda, Lavelle Road this evening. It was a brief test drive \u2013 a couple of kilometres within the city, at no greater than 50 kmph.<\/p>\n
1. The suspension is surprisingly firm but in a good way. You\u2019d like (and need) that in a car of its height. You can feel small undulations\/ bumps at low speeds, but you can only feel them. It doesn\u2019t become intrusive. It is entirely tolerable and passengers other than the driver might not even notice them too much. However, the interesting thing is that when you increase speed, the ride seems to improve. If you push it through a gentle but substantial undulation at more-than-optimal speed (like a well-designed large speed bump), it feels completely at ease. There is no unexpected pitching or anything like that. It handles the bump well and returns to equilibrium without fuss. There is a little sideways movement though (roll), and you can\u2019t help but notice the height\/ high centre-of-gravity of the car.<\/p>\n
2.The steering is good, but not great. You can point and shoot. It is predictable. But it does lack feedback to some extent. Much better than the Koreans though. It is good in that it is unremarkable.<\/p>\n
3. I liked the ergonomics. I am a thin guy about 5 ft. 9 in. tall and for me, the lumbar support in the driver\u2019s seat is fantastic. Just loved it. The reach adjustment of the steering wheel isn\u2019t enough, though. I wish it had more range. I didn\u2019t sit at the back when the car was in motion. The legroom in the front passenger seat is less than I\u2019d like because the upward incline in front begins much too close to the seat. Bigger feet can\u2019t be placed flat on the floor.<\/p>\n
4. I loved the aesthetics of the interiors. I like that it isn\u2019t \u2018out there.\u2019 It\u2019s quiet and staid and mature and will certainly age well. The tan isn\u2019t my favourite hue, but it does look good. I just love how that Honda instrument cluster looks too.<\/p>\n
5. Cabin insulation overall is acceptable. Not a patch on my XUV300 TurboSport. The engine becomes louder than you\u2019d like earlier than you\u2019d like. Of course, I didn\u2019t really push it to see if that characteristically enjoyable iVTEC sound appeared. But cabin insulation is certainly better than the 5th generation City.<\/p>\n
6. The powertrain seems sufficient. But I didn\u2019t get to drive it enough to offer any meaningful insight. Prima facie, it feels like it will be comfortable to drive in the city.<\/p>\n
My somewhat finicky 68-year-old father who will be the car\u2019s primary driver sat in the driver\u2019s seat and instantly felt comfortable and pleased. I suppose that sums up the car. It\u2019s an easy car to like. It isn\u2019t a car that will amaze you (no pun intended). But it doesn\u2019t get too much wrong. It will be a decent\/ able upgrade from our 2017 pre-facelift S-Cross with the 1.3L MJD engine<\/p>\n
