Honda Mobilio 1.5 V
It's not every day you are passionate about driving the latest MPV. After all, remove the illusion of automotive scribes just drive the car the most remarkable (and some really picky about it). Now, you have to make exceptions for Mobilio for one simple reason: it's Honda. At least, you know it's got a decent drive. Plus, because it was done impeccably well during the trip to Puerto Galera, should be done either on a regular drive. So after a week of putting it through its paces, it can certainly be concluded that Mobilio in a good car? Well, yes! This is especially true if you can not practice family planning.
Aesthetically, few people think Mobilio for visually-challenged. Honestly, there is no need for such harsh criticism. Of course, it does not look sharp as Jaz or HR-V, but it still had the meat styling to make it look attractive. It can be mistaken for a wagon with a planted stance. Compared with other MPVs, it is the only one to maintain a profile like a car that even though 189-mm ground clearance. In fact, without peering through the glass, you could mistake it for a cart. And who does not like wagon? Front-end is the most controversial; The terms of love-it-or-hate-it, but it makes him stand out. The rest of the package is more universally accepted.
With an interior that is largely shared by the twins Brio Brio riveting, settled in the cabin carries the smell of familiarity. Unlike polarizing exterior design, the interior is quite simple and easy. There is little attempt to provide a dashboard design that is impressive, but still fun because directedness that. In all honesty, every driver will be willing to trade aesthetic for something that can be operated with a touch of nuance. Mobilio passed that test. It takes less than a few seconds to get acquainted with the driver's seat and control. The price of less than one million pesos, a variety of hard plastic which is understandable, but at least the fit and finish are consistent.
Space-wise, it does the job became a family hauler that makes sense. Honda said it was supposed to ferry seven and that's possible; but realistically, if you want everyone to be comfortable, keeping the body count to six. Yes, there is good leg and knee room for everyone, but less shoulder room. The reason for this is simple: the width. Length is enough for three rows of seats, but with only a 1,683-mm wide, it was a bit cramped. What is lacking for the width, it makes up for in versatility. It is one of the best things with Mobilio. The third row folds in a 50/50 split and fell, hooking to the second line of cargo space. The second row folds, bending, and slide in a 60/40 split that allows Mobilio easy to match with the items long. And get this, you can fold down the second row or fall in any position without wedging against the rear of the front seats. It is a technique which is right there.
If there was one criticism you will level against though is felt Do AC taxed to handle seat in Manila. That's surprising given the fact that it was supposed to be horrible design Indian summer. It is to two things: the first is the poor position of the front air vents good blow cool air into your hand or the face (and not much else). Furthermore, the rear air conditioning unit has only ventilation in the sense of their second row in the third row will only have lifetimes in the back.
No one really expects MPV driving particularly well, but driving is the power of a great Mobilio. Again, without the third-row seat, it's really going to pass on a cart right. Whether it's the city, highway, or road curved, it feels pretty much like a car with an additional row seats. Electric power steering is light at the feedback, but is heavy on precision. Limit, the understeer, requires some correction steering, but at least there is a belief in pushing this MPV remains. On the way, it's not as convenient as Brio riveting, but not decisive as Brio. In other words, it is balanced. And this is in front of the recommended 32 PSI, the rear tire pressure regulation 42 PSI. An interesting note is that Mobilio wound did not appear to absorb sudden good road. Combined with a feeling of emptiness in underchassis, reducing the feeling of solidity even if there are no rattles discernable heard in the cabin.
With a 1.5 liter 4-cylinder, 120-horsepower figure makes it the most powerful in its class and driving the day-in and day-out, it shows. With one or two people on board, it was cheerful, darting through traffic with ease. Despite the strength really comes alive at high revs, there is a good power even from down low which makes the experience interesting. CVT took a split second to adjust, but it is not a deterrent to the fun factor. It feels really good for the people carrier; something that you really do not mind living with every day. As you start to accumulate in the passenger, drivetrain understandably started to get taxed. By the fifth or sixth, CVT has shifted the ratio is set to keep the search engine revs higher. Fuel economy, at 8.77 km / L is not so bad, but a small 42-liter tank means a bit of a maximum range of just 368 kilometers.
Mobilio is one of the Hondas more affordable that you can buy today. Although not part of the core brand vehicle line-up, it is now accepted by Buy society, capturing the interest of potential buyers. Week driving it, at least three people are required to take a closer look inside. Their curiosity at Honda Mobilio reasoned. 7-seater MPV is a steady seller in the Philippines and the industry as a sporty brand Honda decided to go in, it was a pleasant surprise for many. From the same company that popularized the whole VTEC and cultural customization, Mobilio presents itself as a legitimate member of the family. It was well-engineered and fun-to-drive whilst remaining practical for Filipino families.
