What causes high rolling resistance in a car?

My Infiniti FX35 seems to have high rolling resistance. By which I mean it loses speed and momentum very quickly as soon as you let off the throttle. Even when going downhill I find myself needing to press the accelerator or else the car loses momentum very quickly.

My brother's 2012 Honda Accord behaves in a very different fashion, as the second you let off the brake the car rolls at like 5-10 mph without even touching the gas. Once I'm up to speed I only need a very small application on the accelerator to maintain that speed. If anything I need to apply the brakes significantly more in that car as the speed can sometimes increase significantly on slight downhill slopes even without any input on the accelerator. The two cars behave very differently in this aspect.

Honda civic 07 plate Air Con problems?

I have an 07 plate Honda civic, I just had the air con recharge done today. The mechanic says there's no leaks and the gas is staying in but air won't blow cold.

Can I replace my OEM non-navigation head unit with a OEM navigation head unit?

The head unit for my 2017 Honda CR-V EX got damaged. Warranty won't cover it, and it will cost $2,000 to replace. I found a used 2017 Honda CR-V head unit online but it is for the trim that includes gps navigation. Can I replace my factory non-navigation with the factory navigation head unit? Even if the navigation won't work, would everything else work the same by just plugging it in? My head unit has touch screen controls to turn on or off blind spot motoring, automatic collision braking, door lock configuration, etc. Read more: https://hondanews.net/odyssey/can-i-replace-my-oem-non-navigation-head-unit-with-a.html
