First, I'd like to say these reviews saying it lacks power are not true. It has a CVT transission, which is not noisy, but makes it a smoother ride where you don't feel the trasmission shifting, maybe this is mistaken for lack of power. Not a sporty race car, but plenty of power for merging and hills. I'm at 80 mph before I know it. The transmission sound takes a bit to get used to because it doesn't shift, but it's not bothersome. Gets you in and out of traffic, easily. Drives and handles very well. Goes through snow easily - we live in the snowbelt and it has performed well. Lots of room. hough I do get other drivers flashing their brights - I don't care I can see really well. The headlights are fantastic, altNow for the bad. I don't like the Hankook tires that came with it, but that's because in my experience, they don't last. The seats are hard and uncomfortable. The backup camera is close to useless - it's always obstructed by snow or rain and doesn't have good vision in the dark. I hate the postion and type of fuel gauge, it's very hard to see and read. It'll look like it reads 1/4 tank, then the low fuel light comes on. The radio gets very poor reception and no cd player. I don't like all the added technological features, I don't care if it has Apple Car Play. The manual that comes with the car is lengthy and in fine print. The outside mirrors are too small. We looked at several other vehicles. A lot of dealerships were charging over MSRP or making up abbreviations trying to take advantage of the customers. Even at Honda dealerships. we were having a hard time finding an honest dealer. Our local dealership, Victory Honda in Austinburg, Ohio, wanted @$5000 over MSRP and tried to lowball us on our trade-in. We call Apostalikis Honda in Cortland and they gave us MSRP plus a good price on trade-in. We saved close to $8000. So, don't accept these dishonest dealerships. Honda should do something about this thievery. All-in-all, we felt it was the best value out there, and we really liked how it handled. Also, we've always had good luck with Hondas, and we feel confident in their dependability. Everyday mixed driving we get almost 31 mpg.

Huge Improvement over previous HR-V

The 2023 HR-V is a major improvement over the 2020 HR-V I owned. The ride is better, the engine has more HP and the interior looks was more upscale than the previous version. With the EX-L, along with the normal safety features, it also comes with parking sensors, low speed braking and blind spot monitoring. The rear view mirror is also auto dimming. The 8 speaker sound system is adequate. It is also nice that the EX-L comes with a power drivers seat. All things considered, I am very happy I upgraded to the 2023.

Not comparable with 2022 HR-V in any way

Over the summer I purchased a 2023 HR-V LX. Coming from a Honda Pilot V6, I had to lower my expectations with power but it is actually pretty quick on the highway once you are up to speed. A bit slow from 0-20 mph but hey, it is a four cylinder CVT SUV, I can't demand too much from it. The styling is great in my opinion. If you told me 4 years ago this would be an Acura product, I would believe you 100%. The color combo I have is white exterior and beige interior. The cloth is very nice and heavy duty, but can get dirty. I am never lacking for any room, very comfortable in any seat and I am 6'1. The suspension is very well calibrated. It is Always nice and composed for a small SUV. The infotainment is good as well. The speakers are good for a base model. One thing that I don't particularly like is the adaptive cruise control. I come from an old car with regular cruise control and I would prefer that any day of the week over the adaptive one. Even on the closest following distance it is very aggressive. It starts braking and then rides the brakes for a bit until the car infront speeds up. I would not be able to use this on the highway. I am not sure if only Honda's are this aggressive with the adaptive cruise but just know it is very aggressive. Overall, it is very nice car, even the base model. If I met someone who was in the market for a small SUV, everytime I would say 2023 HR-V.

bring a cushion

The overall car is great. Above average. The front seats are very hard but plenty of room up front, The back seats are better but bring cushion for long rides. Love the outside styling better than the competition. Got a great grey color and the black interior is attractive and well appointed. It has enough power to get along. I didn't buy a hot rod! Fuel economy is very good. I finally sold an 18 yr old Element to buy this and I'm happy. Honda really needs to do something about the hard front seats.

We live in location where you expect winter to last five months. We just started driving the car in January. We purchased the HRV Sport model because it has heated cloth seats which are much faster to warm up than the cold, heated leather seats of more expensive models. The car comes with a soft-grip heated steering wheel and it performs amazingly well. No more cold fingers clenching a hard plastic, frozen wheel. The car’s heating system is superior to other vehicles we’ve driven. This AWD car handles well in snow and ice. The windshield washer works beautifully even in the coldest temperatures. Our washer fluid is good to minus 35. The backup camera is extremely helpful when reversing into snowbanks and Apple Car Play is a must in every new vehicle. The sight lines in the car are excellent even for taller drivers. Is the car slow? Don’t really know as 90 per cent of the time we are driving the car in crowded urban areas with high traffic volumes. The pick up is more than adequate for city environs. The manually adjusted front seats are comfortable although we have yet to take the car on a long summer drive. The car is quiet and handles well. The cargo space is more than adequate for a week’s groceries. Overall the car feels upscale for an entry level vehicle. The Mazda 30 rivals the interior quality of the HRV but its poor sight lines are a deal breaker. Sure the Mazda 30 has better pickup but we prefer to see where we are going as well as not hit our head on the roof while wondering if traffic lights, hidden by a sharply sloping windshield, have turned green. Overall the HRV is a joy to drive and exceeds our expectations of what new cars offer today’s customers. We’ve now owned the car for 2.5 years and beyond two recalls there have been no repairs issues. We still like the car and believe we made a good choice buying it.
