HRV’s are the best

I’ve purchase/leased 4 HRV’s over the past 4 years. Nice looking cars, plenty of cargo space and great gas mileage. Most important of all to me: they are the perfect combination of size and safety features for our kids. That was the reason we bought the first one, and they haven’t disappointed. 2 slight annoyances though: 1.) You can get a slight shimmy at higher speeds, when heavier wet snow builds up on the rims of the open tires. I’ve felt that a handful of times driving down the highway, but not too bad. (Beyond that, they’re great in the snow) 2.) If not driven for a couple of weeks, the battery on one of ours tends to die and needs a jump. This may or may not be due to an “after market” remote starter we had installed. Overall, I really like HRV’s and so do our kids.

Dependable workhorse

- Honda reliability. Older design for both the frame and the engine. Which means this will be reliable vehicle for years to come. All the kinks are worked out over past few years. - I don't care for audio system. It could use redesign. Specifically, I will be missing USB-C port and blutooth android/apple car play. - The engine is not as efficient as I would like and is underpowered but workable. That's my opinion. - CarFax indicates the dealer replaced batter on the day of delivery. Not sure what that was about. The HR-V had 48 miles on it when I took possession of it. - Roof rails, moonroof are nice on my EX AWD trim. - the Magic Seats is what sold this car to me. The second row lifts up, creating insane amount of space for such small vehicle. You can fit a bike in there. The second seat also folds forward, flush with the trunk. You can actually sleep in that SUV, fully stretched out. Nice. On top of that its 40/60 split. - HR-V EX is loaded with the safety features, lane departure, adaptive cruise control, etc etc. Side camera activates when the right turn signal is on. Its all nice. - In the end, this is a nice vehicle that I plan on keeping for about 6-7 years. Very happy so far especially with a nice financing deal I got - 7 months/4,000 miles later, not much is changed. There were no issues with the vehicle. <br>

I love my HR-V!

I chose the Sport because I love the android auto/apple carplay for myself and passengers to play their playlists with apps. Smooth drive, way more comfortable seats than my old car. I could probably drive in this for hours and my back not hurt. I like that it tells me if I'm wasting gas by the way I drive and I like the all electronic dash. Still getting used to sitting higher but I'm enjoying better visibility (this is my first non-sedan).

Good for teen drivers

As a driving instructor I recommend Honda HRV. The reason is its good visibility, reliability, and safety. The engine has enough power so a teenager can’t really accelerate too fast and lose control. That said it’s a light car, meaning it’s not a heavy Ford truck or a beefy Chevy. But it’s still a better choice. Rear wheel drive cars like Fords and Chevys are harder to control and can spin in turns, not so much with Honda HRV

Loving this HRV

What a great little SUV this is! I leased the LX model, so I didn't get as many bells and whistles as you'd get with a more luxurious package, but I'm extremely happy with this car so far. Handles well, perfect size for me, roomier for passengers than I thought it would be, and very versatile for hauling stuff I buy. Great MPG as well. Honda never disappoints.
