The Chinese ones tend to be less enshittified? Having just recently about how Xiaomi cars disable software updates if you change the headlights, allow me to doubt that.

Both have slightly narrower seats than a normal car
The Multipla's seats are narrower than a normal car? Are you american?
have heating and are leather
I think the FRV was also a significant step up in price. That being said, I never understood what's supposed to be good about leather seats.
Both are very car-like to drive
What else should they be like?
but the Honda has way better engines and better reliability.
The one I had was the natural gas version. It might as well have been on pedals. And the noise on the motorway, between the engine and the aerodynamics, was horrendous.That being said, we got 380000km over 19 years out of that one, so not too bad.
That said, getting parts for the FRV is a pain, because there weren’t many made and the wider body means that a surprising number aren’t shared with other Honda models if the same era.
Getting parts for the Multipla was pretty easy, despite the wider body most parts were somehow shared with much smaller cars, like the FIAT Brava.
It was the Honda HRV, and it couldn't hold a candle to the Multipla.
The Multipla had 6 full size seats that could all comfortably hold adults, plus the backseats where individually removable. I loaded a couch sideways in that car. Absolutely brilliant.
The middle seats on the HRV were significantly smaller, no comparison in terms of usefulness and versatility.
It really isn't.
It's the Antwerp Port Authority in Antwerp, Belgium. Designed by Zaha Hadid. Pretty cool.>!!<

I saw several such hybrid old/new building combinations in Flemish cities. And they usually manage to pull it off.
Another example I liked is the STAM, the Ghent city museum. They also host a nice yearly jazz festival in the courtyard of that one.
No, the Multipla deserves better.
I really really hate to admit it, but the Germans can bread.
a couple KDE tweaks even made PiP work fantastic
Tell me more
Does really no one get a song reference around here?
It was always burning since world's been turning!
It does however have possibly the worst death animations in the history of gaming...
That wouldn't be so bad per se... Many improvements in human conditions have been achieved by automating stuff and kicking people out. Think of the green revolution.
The problem is that the use case here is to massify the production of literal shit, like clickbaity articles on social media content, or ever larger volumes of advertisement. Those jobs don't need to be replaced, they just need to go away for good.
Are we really going to use an AI to write motivation letters from a list of bullet points, to send it to an HR that will condense it into a list of bullet points using AI? Seriously?
That may be ok for an Arduino, but for a car I'd really like to be able to get support, which may be tough with a smaller provider, unless they really use generic components and document their stuff decently, which I'd really have to be convinced about. And let's not even get into the software support.
And I write this from my 2yo old Fairphone 4, which I plan to degoogle during the holidays, while I sit in front of my 7yo Thinkpad.
I use Arch BTW.
Edit: And my chinese vacuum cleaner runs Valetudo.
