Needs more space to store things

The screen is very difficult to use. I never know what to click on, and I definitely can’t select while driving. But I love the back up camera and lane watch.

HRV - mixed feelings

I bought my HRV EXL because I’ve owned Hondas previously. I wanted AWD, good mileage, and a sporty appearance. The HRV is great on snow, gets decent mileage, but is bare-bones inside. It is like a sporty Honda Fit. While the interior is leather, the seats are manual, there is no spot to put your sunglasses, and the glove. compartment is Ill-shaped. I probably like the HRV more this review shows, but I’m still reeling from the $2800 estimate to fix the hatchback. Two service technicians told me there are known issues with the hatchback, but Honda personnel deny knowledge. The CRV is probably a better value.

Best car ever!

This car is wonderful. Drives nice, is comfortable and has amazing interior room. The back seats fold dow completely flat and the magic seat feature is so useful. I absolutely love it!!!

Great gas mileage and a good small suv

We bought this car the first year it came out. At 15,000 miles front end axle needed replacement upon a routine service visit. Just replaced it again at 59,000 just before warranty expires. It was covered but my concern is why this has happened twice to my vehicle. I am hesitant to purchase another one

Poor Quality for a Honda

This vehicle truly is Honda’s worse vehicle ever made. The made in Mexico quality is a disgrace. Awful paint jobs, poor fit and finish, cheap hollow plastic dash and trim. The list goes on and on.... underpowered and very noisy drivetrain, not to mention squeaks and rattles everywhere. Traded as soon as I could on a Civic-much MUCH better vehicle!

Beautiful and very comfortable. Little pricy

I loved the Honda and wanted to purchase except out of my budget. If price was lower I’d purchase today loved the color of exterior

CUTE, BUT BEWARE

This car is small on interior space. The gas tank is small to so I don't spend a lot on gas but I am at the gas station every 4 to 5 days. The worst part is the cupholder. I have a 2016 HRV and the cupholder has had to be replaced 3 times. It is the worst design I have ever seen. The drivers seat must be removed in order to replace the cupholder. I called the corporate office to see if anyone else has reported this problem because the dealership told me that the last time the cupholder was replaced was the last time it would be replaced. Well surprise it has broken again. The area where the screws are put in to hold the cupholder in place just seem to break into a million pieces. The corporate office and the dealership seem to think that I don't know how to use a cupholder and they refuse to acknowledge that the problem is in their design. I have not finished paying for this vehicle yet and I will be responsible for fixing the cupholder each time it breaks. I was hoping to pay off the vehicle and keep it for a while but with this type of service I will try and get rid of it as soon as I can and I will never buy another Honda. This is a really raw deal and I am very angry. Is anyone else having this problem?

I love Honda

My wife is very happy. We previously owned CR V and like the downside. Hope it will last the 320,000 we got from our last Honda

Extremely Reliable, Low Maintenance Cost

The Vehicle is amazing transportation for daily use. The reliability is on point. Great crossover vehicle, reasonably priced and the base model is well equipped.
