Already hate it

Took delivery one week ago, and already regretting it. I didn't realize during the test drive the CVT trans is horribly noisy and the engine is so weak, we are sometimes fearful pulling out on the highway. Fortunately, our dealer is willing to work with us on an exchange for a CRV. Don't make the same mistake my wife and I did, taking it for a short test drive. Take out for a good 30 minute drive, including highway time, and you'l see what I mean. Shame on you, Honda!

Dangerously under-powered!

This car isn’t modestly powered, it’s dangerously under-powered...What is Honda thinking? Handsome interior, but front seat starts to feel small quickly. Not a smooth or quiet ride at all. Hope they improve it soon cause I really wanted to like it as an entry into SUV from my 2016 Honda Civic, which was brilliantly remodeled in 2016. Subaru Crosstrek is better and Kia Sportage is better than both, although it’s a small compact not sub-compact. I did test the CRV and that didn’t drive as smooth as the Kia Sportage, nor have the power of Kia, but CRV does get much better gas mileage. Wouldn’t even consider the HRV for the lack of engine power to support it. Definately not a highway safe SUV. Come on Honda!

Great car to drive, rummy,great handling.

Fun to drive. Very rummy and reliable. Handles great in snow and rain. Easy to see traffic and excellent pick up. Interior is designed well.

Not as good as the CRV

I noticed that road noise is elevated on this car in comparison to the CRV. The acceleration is a little lacking. Other than those two items, it’s still a great car because of Honda reliability and design.

The car is working well for now

It is one of the cheaper cars so is big plas for me , it looks good but unnecessarily saved on small things, the door finished from the inside of the material (it can quickly destroy) Plastic on the dashboard rugged what will cause adhesion of dust The driver's footrest is impractically solved in the boot missing hooks to be used to mount the net on the store. Small things certainly inexpensive and lifted to the practicality of the car

Love my new car

I’ve only had my new car for two days so I can’t sorak to it’s reliability yet but so far I’m loving it. Seems to hold the road well, has plenty of power and is comfortable to drive.

Perfect size

Good gas mileage and handling. Could use a little more pep for highway driving, but since I drive mostly in the city it fits my needs.
