HR-V--OVERALL GOOD BUT...

Good overall value. Interior space and layout good. My LX model has fewer tech features, just essential items, nothing fancy, no sunroof to leak, etc. Suspension needs improvement. Ride on delivery date was very rough and bouncy. Ride home was about 25 mi, let tires cool overnite, found tire press to be 35 psi on all tires. Placard reads 32psi front, 30 psi rear. Reset tire press and ride improved slightly. Still too rough riding for a new car. Leased my suv 7/21/16, has 2000 mi as of 11/19/16. Currently, ride seems to be a little smoother, but still too rough/bouncy for a new car. Air cond seems under powered, cools but slowly and takes awhile to really cool car. I live in Hawaii and local temp is on avg- < 90 degrees. Tires are Michelins, which ride rough and are a little noisy at freeway speeds < 60 mph. I want to replace the michelins with goodyears for a smoother ride but its a lease car (3yrs/36,000 mi) so no sense buying another set of tires. However, if I had "Bought" the car, I definitely would sell the Michelins and get some Goodyears. After reading several buyer reviews about other service issues, poor dealer response, etc., I am glad I only have to deal with possible probs for 3 yrs, then turn in the car at lease end. Overall, the hr-v is a good value except for the poor ride. With my low expected annual mileage, I may not experience the range of issues reported by other owners. I did get an "Excess wear/tear" warr to cover me when I turn in the suv. I definitely would look at the mitsubishi outlander as a replacement suv. So, I hope I don't have probs or service issues like other owners. If things change, I will definitely update this review. So far, no probs. Perhaps a 3-yr lease/rtn is best. Keeping my fingers crossed for no probs!!

Had the car for 8 months, 11,000 miles. All of a sudden the battery light went on and a warning to check the charging system came on. Took it to the dealer. They said there was a malfunction in the censor but the car was fine. Two days later I was driving home and the whole car died!! Nothing light up, nothing works, steering wheel won't turn. This is the worst car I have ever owned. Will never buy a honda again!

It's a great looking, great value, all around fun.

Easy to handle, wished it was more android friendly. Fortunately, I have a Nexus 6 P phone and took a bit of time to initially pairing it to the HRV' but it did pair, has phone contacts, Pandora. Can say the name and it calls the person. I'm happy with the HRV. I wanted a smaller SUV, and this is it.

Front driver seat is not designed to fit a human being. Incredibly uncomfortable! The head rest on the driver seat tilts your head forward and cannot be adjusted. Absolutely no lower back support or adjustment ability to the lower back driver seat. So many corners cut to cut costs on this thing. If it was 12k I might give it more stars, but for 24k, no way! No cupholders in the backseat. No side storage space in the back hatch section. Left-hand driver side armrest is rock hard and uncomfortable as hell. No knobs on dashboard controls make it very difficult and awkward to adjust the music and climate controls. A few positives with this car would be good gas mileage comfortable right arm rest for the driver seat and the right turn lane camera. Gutless motor and no legroom for the driver made this a bad choice for me and l'm pissed I bought it. I had to eat my loss and trade it back.

All the negatives are true, I never read or made any reviews but I have to read about HR-V, coz for a brand new car, I'm like what's going on with my brand new car? So, I have to see what other people are saying about this car. I thought it was just my car. And also, not even a month when I got a check engine, an electric parking symbol, and it keeps blinking, at the Honda service center, they said that's weird, they fixed it, the problem was ,oxygen valve or something...they have to changed it..

The size of the vehicle and available cargo space are perfect for my lifestyle. I live in a pretty busy city where parking can be a problem but I also needed cargo space for the activities that I engage in. I absolutely love the aesthetic and performance of this car. I initially had an issue with the headlights not operating but the service center of the dealership took care of it right away!

I've only owned the HRV EX-L Navi since may But it has been fantastic on gas , good acceleration, we been on trips where storage counted and it handled very well on the roads. I'd buy it again without any reservations.

Car is really nice. Material is a little below the quality that I expect from Honda. This is my third new Honda. I am 6-1 and my head is very close to the headliner even with the seat low. The Lx does not have this issue because there is no moonroof. A few small rattles and squeaks from a new car. Stereo has really hollow sound. Center console could have more storage and the "cubby" under the console is pretty useless. This is my wife's car and she loves it. I tolerate it and would rather drive my 07 Prius.

I wanted the sporty feel and fuel economy of a hatchback. I needed the AWD and reliablity for New England winters. The HRV filed the segment I was looking at very well. I have always liked the reliability and style of Honda and Acura. I looker at the Madza CX-3 and CX-5. They were sportier but cost of ownership and reliabilty was higher. The CX-3 interior was too small and unfinished for my taste. The CX-5 was more than I wanted to spend. The very happy medium was the HRV. The safety and AWD of the CRV and sportiness of the Civic.

Catches your eye on the road!

I was hesitant to purchase the 2016 so close to the release of the 2017 model for fear that I would miss out on options or technology that might be made available. I'm glad I didn't wait! I got an amazing price and the 2017 model has no changes!

Love the car, just what I was looking for for a personal v. working vehicle. Just a few caveats: (a) I'm relatively short (5'3") but still have to be careful not to bump knees on steering column when getting in, after that, there's plenty of room, (b) there's precious little handy storage space for incidentals (pens, keys, etc.) in driver's cabin, (c) for some reason, rain drops seem to stay on windshield, washer/wipers don't sweep them away, going to try windexing them today and see if it continues to be problem.

Nice small crossover for its class with plenty of trunk space. Biggest downer on this vehicle is the trunk door. It is heavy and someone who is short like myself has a hard time closing it. Need two hands to close the door shut which is difficult if you have other things you are carrying. The car needs a power lift gate and should have been included in the EX-L trim.

The only real issue I have had is the center console lid spring broke twice and Fischer Honda ordered an entire assembly replacement and so far so good. Other than that, the HRV rides great; handles good and has been reliable with no real issues. I have a little over 18000 miles on the car and it still running fine for me. I would definitely remcommend Honda weather built in Mexico or Japan or even the U.S.

We live in a rural area 10 miles to town and I am a very conservative driver, slow acceleration, coast to stoplights and stop signs and do not go over speed limits and I get 35.5 mpg average. We have only had this car a short time so rating may change later.

Get a "Price Promise" using Edmund's online to find dealers in your area that will sell at the True Market price. I contacted Fowler Honda in Oklahoma City and I was able to get a CR-V for over $2,000 under the MSRP and at 0.9% financing for 60%. Honda CR-V is the best value in my opinion. The quality of the interior is just superior to other SUVs in the same price range. Mileage is very good, better than most SUVs and it looks very stylish, especially the "cooper sunset" a beautiful new color. I love the CR-V EX has a passenger side camera so you can see your blind spot when turning right or just in close city driving. Also, I love the key-less entry, so that you can have the key in your pocket (or purse ladies) and walk up to the car and grab any handle and the door opens ( big plus when you are carrying a package or it is raining. The 7 inch LCD monitor is bright and easy to see. It is so easy to backup with the larger 7 inch view and the monitor displays yellow curved lines so you and see where you are backing up and the lines change as you turn the steering wheel so you can easily back up between two cars everytime.

It does not support android auto. Which was a huge minus. However it does have Pandora sync available. The acceleration is a bit slow but when city driving it's quick.

This is a poorly made vehicle made in Mexico. The horrific paint jobs that come through on these is a disgrace. Missing clear-coat, dirt in paint- panels don't fit flush, etc. I've owned previous Honda's in the past-mainly made in Japan. Take my advice and don't buy these Mexican made junk piles. I've regretted my purchase since day one. The selling dealer has been great however; they can only do so much. I cannot wait to trade in on better vehicle- and it won't be another Honda.

Finally got my HR-V!

After wanting an HR-V since summer 2015 (when my CRV reached 170,000 miles), they are finally a bit easier to find. I purchased an LX, which I absolutely LOVE. Compared to the other small crossover/suvs in it's class, it sits higher, which is a must after driving an suv for over ten years. It also handles well, (though the ride is a bit rigid), is more spacious inside, and has intuitive controls and technology. It is my 5th Honda, and they have all been super reliable, and long lasting, with great re-sale value.

Give it a peppier engine and we're in!

I've rode it for over a 1k miles and I can confirm it's truly the best City SUV out there. Naturally, if you live in the country or Iowa you probably should look elsewhere. Pros: -Looks great -Small turning range -Honda Lane Change (Life Saver) -Honda Back-up camera (Life Saver) -Ample cargo space -Ample Front Row seating (I'm a 5' 11" big guy and I'm very comfortable in the driver seat) -Bluetooth -Touchpad Climate Control (Some stupid old school Auto Critic argued they missed the knobs. The thing to remember is the old-school Critics are the Knobs. Apparently, they never used a Touchpad or Smart Phone.) -Great Gas mileage (35 mpg on the highway as promised) -Sunroof Cons: -Honda's Android apps are useless (Don't expect Honda to ever upgrade them to being useful.) -Garmin's Navigation that Honda uses (Honda give it up and just install Android Auto in every Honda so we can all use Google Maps or Wave.) -This is nit-picky but the front windshield wipers are both on the drivers side. The Passenger wipers uses an exceptionally long arm to wipe the windshield. Which when it's not running during a rainstorm and you're speeding down the highway it shakes. Annoying. -Windows could be a bit thicker to keep out the road noise.

I traded in my Honda insight to get something a little bigger and with AWD. Wanted to stick with Honda but didn't want a big SUV. Very happy with the purchase to this point!!

Overall, I am happy w/my purchase of the Honda HR-V, considering it is a new vehicle and I didn't have to spend an arm and a leg. For the price, I had to compromise some of the conveniences I was accustomed to; however, I gained the use of modern technologies that didn't exist when I purchased my last vehicle (i.e. Bluetooth, HondaLink, rear/right turn cameraand a few others). I was hoping to take advantage of the Navigation system (which is an extra purchase via HondaLink), but the reviews are considerably negative - I'll pass. For city driving, I believe the Econ button is helpful on gas...I don't have to drive long distances often. I've had it 30 days so far, still experiencing/learning my new High Rider Revolutionary Vehicle. Thank you, Edmunds.com for helping me to negotiate a better purchase price!

We wanted a car that we could tow behind our RV. That said we chose the HR-V with the manual transmission over the CTV automatic. From a re-sale stand point this may not be a good choice....But I am having too much fun driving this car to care! The gearbox is easy to shift even though I have never had a "6-speed". When in traffic I sometimes skip a gear, like go from first to third to fifth and sixth. The engine has good torque down low so as long as you are not giving it a lot of gas it doesn't care. The cornering ability is great too. It corners like it's on rails. I told you I was having fun with this car. On top of all that it's getting over 31 MPG in combined city / highway driving. The other thing that amazed me was the interior space. It is tight without being cramped. I am 6'-1" and 275 pounds so getting in and out of some cars can be difficult for my 70+ year old bones. However I can easily get in the front or back seat and have plenty of head room. The EX and EX-L models have a sunroof which takes away some headroom so I opted for the LX model. It is easier to get in and out of than the Honda Odessey I traded in. The cargo space is very good for a car this size and with the rear seats folded flat it's even bigger. From the outside it looks more like a sport coupe than a 4-door SUV/Crossover. Most people don't realize it is a four door because the rear door latch is semi-hidden in the C pillar. All in all I really like this car!

I love the utility and styling of the HRV. The seats are the most uncomfortable that I have ever sat in. You could use these as instruments of torture to get information from terrorists. I have to bring to dealer for service after only 3 weeks as pooling water under front passengers seat. I am considering trading or selling outright as has caused me to have sciatica. I think it would be a good vehicle if you do not drive long distances.

I have had my HRV - EXL for a week now and I absolutely love it. After reading reviews and articles about the HRV for over six months, I finally found a Black EXL for sale and purchased it. Buying a car is a very personal thing, but here is my experience with my HRV so far. I was looking for a car with good gas mileage and lots of storage, as I am a musician and gig out quite a bit. The HRV had more space than any other car in its class, and if you test drive it and compare it to other cars, this quickly becomes apparent. It also means the back seat ride is way more comfortable for passengers than the Nissan Juke or Mazda 3, which might matter if you have kids. Acceleration. Every review seems to mention its poor acceleration. My experience is its not bad. This is not a race car, so I didn't have the expectation that it would drive like one. Around town you have plenty of power, and even merging on the highway you have all you need. Don't worry about this. If Honda wanted to give it a few more horses I wouldn't complain, but had reviews not mentioned acceleration I wouldn't have thought twice about it when test driving it. The overall handling of the car I think is amazing, especially for its price tag. It responds well to turning and it's turning radius is very good. Personally, I enjoy that it drives more like a car than an SUV. I find the car extremely comfortable to sit in and drive. Full disclosure I am not a big person. 5'8" and average build, I weigh 148lbs. I think if you were 6' tall this car might start getting snug, but so would most cars in this class. You might just want to look at the CRV. Another area that the HRV seems to get complaints is in the touch control climate/entertainment console. When I first got the car, it did bother me a bit. Not knowing where everything was meant looking down and trying to figure it all out. However, after a week with it, using the touchscreen climate and radio controls becomes second nature and I enjoy the tech look of it. Admittedly I am a technophile. Reading other reviews, it seems many of those purchasing this car might have been older, so figuring this all out might have been more of a nuisance for them. I have two minor complaints though. First, you can't use apple CarPlay with the this car, which lets you use Apple maps for navigation instead of Hondas Nav. It's not that big a deal because I can Bluetooth my phone and have my phone give me directions still. But it would be nice to mirror it on the big Honda display. Honda nav is sufficient, but not great. Truth be told though, I did not buy the EXl for the Navigation. I bought it for the leather seats, and let me tell you that in my opinion it was worth every penny. The interior EXL just feels high class, and looks it too. I have a feeling it will withstand the test of time much better, and is much easier to clean than the fabric. I also find the firmer leather seats to be more comfortable than the fabric seats. Since I wil be road tripping in this car a lot that is very important. So far I have been averaging 32mpg under mixed highway/city driving. Personally I have grown to really like the lane watch camera. It is very helpful in changing lanes in high traffic atlanta, and you can turn it on even if your turn signal isn't on, which can be helpful during high traffic times. A small feature that I personally love is the brake hold. Turn it on and when the car stops you don't have to keep your foot on the break. This is also amazing in rush hour traffic and in some other instances. All in all I truly love this car. As I drive it more I will update this review, but Honda hit a home run in my opinion. I've had a 2002 Civix EX, a 2006 Element EX, a Nissan 350z Convertible, and so far this is my favors car overall, hands down. If you can afford it upgrade to the leather, it's so worth it. Even fully loaded it's not an expensive car. I look forward to getting up and driving this car every day. I can't wait to go on some camping / road trip adventures in this wonderful car.

I love my little HRV. Great gas mileage and so cute. I do not like that I her the road noise and the ride isn't as good as my other Hondas. Overall a good value.

Love my new car!

This car is really, really nice. A lot of cool technology that I didn't have on my old car. Love the lane watch camera... I drive about 60 miles each day for work, mostly on the highway. So that camera really comes in handy. I get way better gas mileage then I did on my old car (Rogue), but this car has a smaller tank so I still have to fill it up about the same amount of times. The only thing that irritates me a bit is for whatever reason the front seat buckle really digs into me. Never had this problem with a previous car.

Love the car and will get one but...

11/16 I still love this little SUV, the one fault I have found with it is accelerating - sometimes when pulling out from a stop, I get no acceleration and it can be unnerving. I had it checked, they said it is because it is a 4 cylinder - well all my SUVs have been 4 cylinder and I have never had this problem. My last 4 cars were Honda CRV's, all basic models, great cars, but did not feel the need for a SUV that big. Tried out the Honda HRV & it was love at first ride - I still has an SUV feel, not low to the ground like I feel when I drive a sedan. And this time I purchased all the bells & whistles and so far I am extremely pleased.

Exceeded my expectations!

I bought this car after almost six years of driving a CRZ. What a difference! A lot more comfortable seat, also easier getting in and out. Great visibility. Watch lane and rear view camera are extremely helpful. I'm not sorry I chose this car. UPDATE: still very glad with the purchase of this H-RV! It's end of November. We live on a hill in MA. Snow and bad weather are coming but I'm Unafraid! And it's very reasonable on gas. No problems at all. It has over 4000 miles now, I think.

Love it!
