Lastly, I'll finish it off with my MEGA 200+ Photo gallery.

INTRODUCTION:
The Honda BR-V is a mini SUV/MPV or a crossover that was introduced by Honda through the development of Honda Research and Development (R and D) Asia Pacific Co. Ltd. (HRAP), Thailand as well as PT. Honda R&D Indonesia. The Honda BR-V stands for Bold Runabout Vehicle. This vehicle is a derivation of the Mobilio MPV which based it's platform from off a Honda Brio hatchback and the Amaze saloon. The BR-V sits between the City and the HR-V range. (source Honda Malaysia Press release).

My (Jefferson Lim) test drive experience.
I only have 5km test drive. But it's a good mix of routes (Except Uphill). During the 5km drive, I noticed a commendable NVH and Just right amount of damping. Soundproofing's MUCH MUCH better than Thai spec (which my relative tested in Hatyai).
It's Quite nippy too... AS Powerful as Honda City with 4 on board. We hit 110km/h briefly at that speed, RPM only hovering at 2200rpm. Due to the 201mm high ground clearence, driving over speed-breakers and potholes were a breeze. I also noticed the theatre like Seating positions.
This is where the 2nd row's slightly higher than 1st row (to accomodate the Fuel tank) and 3rd row higher than 2nd row (to fit the rear suspension and spare tyre - photo below).
Another welcome addition's the Ceiling mounted Rear Air-cond vents with individual compressor.
As for the seats, the 1st row and 2nd row were quite comfortable and came with high quality FULL leather seats (in the test car). As for the 3rd row, unfortunately, it's Thinly padded (but still comfortable in terms of Head and legroom - I am 175cm tall).
Above and below: 3rd row.
Above and below: 2nd row.
Saving grace's the 2nd row can slide forward and 1 touch double-flip tumble down for easier 3rd row access.
Top speed was 170km/h according to a Thai Journalist while 0-100km/h in mid-12 seconds. A check in Lowyat forum BR-V owner's club shows Mixed driving 13.9km/l. Best 18km/h and worst 11km/l city driving.
Oh! Check out the Boot space with 3rd row seats up, a WHOOPING 223 litres.
Note this is AS Spacious as a Hyundai i10. It rises to 539 litres
with 3rd row seats folded up (make sure you hook the seats to the 2nd row headrest bar, (see photo below) else the whole bench will Come tumbling down.
My only complaints were "Outside smell" such as Diesel fumes, durian stalls seeping into the cabin. A check with Honda Indonesia and India revealed "NO Air-cond Cabin filter fitted".
2nd complaint are Exposed screws at door panels and boots and light-ish Door (compared to Honda City). See photos below:

And lastly, no front armrest and a bit tight in 2nd row for 3 adults. This is more to 6+1 seaters.
