If you can share a few things about your ownership of the Toyota C-HR, what would it be? The most liked or hated, share them with every one I am sure you won't be the only one. :wink2:
You may have to go aftermarket or have a set custom made to fit without brushing up against anything. I've once seen someone DIY mudguards from those plastic cutting boards, but they aren't the best looking. :grin2:
Radar detector? Just how tuned are you planning on making your C-HR aha. Better route is to just download Waze on your phone. Users submit radar traps that they have seen in real time.
The only thing that kinda annoys me is that there is only one USB port in the whole car. I would love to see 2 of them in a front and at least one in the back. Anyways its not a big deal, you can always buy usb adapter with as many ports as you want for a cheap price.
Same, and before heading out on a trip next week I stuck a multi 12v to the side of the bin with Velcro and plugged in a little rechargeable light with the USB built in.
You'd think there would be more than one considering how futuristic the interior looks, maybe two in the back as well. Would be nice if Android Auto was offered too.
LIKES:
- Body styling.
- Eclipse Blue paint.
- Puddle lamps.
- Folding mirrors.
- Gas door on the driver's side YAY!!! Finally!!! (Nearly every car I've owned in the USA is on the passenger side. Dumb IMO).
- Rims.
- Audio quality.
- Backup camera.
- Automatic parking brake.
DISLIKES:
- Flimsy, black cloth cargo privacy cover. Can't put anything on top of it.
- Having to switch back & forth between digital speedometer & drive mode is inconvenient. I like to toggle between Sport & Normal often. Need that extra "oomph" to change lanes, etc sometimes, then want to go back to something a little closer to ECO (Normal).
- Would like to be able to unlock ALL doors from touching the driver-side handle, or driver-side rear-passenger handle, rather then having to use the keyfob, front-passenger door, or button on driver door interior.
- Lack of Android Auto.
- Lack of Sirius XM.
- Lack of Video playback option on screen via USB, or other method.
- Many controls on touchscreen locked out when moving (A gripe I have with every car. Some of us can multitask better then others & hate being limited because of them.)
- Ugly white roofs on some.
- 12v outlet in center console, instead of up front like normal.
- Lack of a sun/moon roof.
- Have yet to find a way to easily lift the back seat bench. My seat cover is just tucked in right now ugh...
- Lines in backup camera don't bend to show trajectory.
- Cup holders on front doors are too small to fit anything really other then a normal sized bottle of water.
Lack of Android Auto - pretty meh console
OEM Weather mats, especially the front ones, aren't flush fit since they're rounded at the edges, and things get trapped there. Thought the whole point of buying OEM is perfect fit.
Echoing the point about not having a screen dedicated to speedometer.
The C-HR was top-selling new SUV in 2017 with 117,299 units in Japan. I assume weather tech will make note of that and create some flush mats for the car.
Weathertech have it and I might eventually get it - I just can't quite believe OEM isn't flush. I wanted the whole car to be same (the OEM all have CHR on it and it looks good with that logo uniformly all around the car)
Well my sore point is that if I opted for the premium that I pay for the stupid OEM, it should be better fitting than a 3rd party. I mean, for crying out loud, they made the car....
P.s. love that fuelly thing you have, I'm going to transfer my spreadsheet over
Love how that side splitter looks along with the front and rear spoilers. I just wish it has some red ouline instead of grey as that can provide a nice subtle break in the design.... sort of like what some car makers already do.
Phasing them out.. Maybe, but high end radio manufactures are still making top of the line radios with cd/dvd included (just a little more expensive than the non drive counterpart). I myself still own plenty of audio cd's but have also converted them to FLAC and added them to my server. I am looking into maybe getting the new Kenwood DDX9905S and only cause if the HD 720p Screen. But if I didn't want an HD screen and NO CD/DVD you can also go with Kenwood DMX905S save some bucks still get "Wifi Android Auto" plus most new radios also play the "FLAC" audio format.
I guess it has to do with who they are contracting out the manufacturing out to and where those companies are located, along with how competitive they are. More than what most people expect are outsourced.
Is it just me or are car washes unable to adequately clean the front bumper indent where the small vents sit in? I end up needing to manually wipe that part after a wash... Not a problem, just an annoyance over time.
OMG!
I just loaded up a thumb drive with a bunch of old "Greatest Hit" CD's. I made a trip yesterday and was frustrated as **** by the stereo.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE you can't scan through the albums while going over 5 MPH. So that means I have to pull off the side of the interstate every time I want to switch albums. How f'ing stupid Toyota.
OK, someone out there needs to figure out how to defeat the "vehicle in motion" signal for this thing.
I'm assuming that you're using the default head unit? I don't think this issue is a problem on aftermarket infotainment systems. Looks like you might be better off making mixed playlists, than listening by album.
I really only dislike that the Cruise controle lever turns together with the steering wheel.
