A great car with a great price

This car has been a great car as we downsized from the Honda CRV. It offers almost the same amount of space with a very comfortable ride.

Awesome Vehicle!

I have to drive a lot for work. This car is a definite upgrade from my former vehicle (Honda Fit) which was great for commuting but road noise was a definite problem. The HR-V is easy to handle, has a small ?footprint? making it easy to navigate in traffic and in and out of parking spaces. Leg room in the front is great for a smaller vehicle. My medium sized dog?s kennel fits easily in the back. My only (minor) complaint is the door pockets are a little too small to fit items I like to keep handy: a book for recording mileage, tissues and parking permits. Unfortunately, the center console pockets are also a bit small for my needs. I have made a few adjustments to make it work so please consider this more of a personal preference than a significant ?ding? on the interior design. The exterior design is sharp ? I love the hidden latches on the back doors. Performance is, in my opinion, top notch for a smaller vehicle. Accelerating onto the freeway is easy breezy. I expect the All Wheel Drive will be a huge asset in the winter.

Great car!

Very smooth, all wheel drive, great stereo system and isn?t to bad on gas. I feel like I?m in a SUV when I?m driving. I owned a Kia Soul before Had and this car definitely was a change up. The seats in the back fold upwards so you can fit bigger items in the back. I enjoy the room in the trunk as well. I have to say one of my favorite cars I?ve owned, for those that don?t want a big car but just want more space, the crossover is definitely a great choice, the HR-V does not take up space and it?s east to park as well. I suggest go test drive it, trust me you own regret it.

Reliable vehicle

I used to own a CR-V and switched to an HR-V. The HR-V is comparable. I like the pedal shifters and the 7 speed feature!

Very well pleased with all aspects!

Well equipped and very attractive. Honda makes a high quality vehicle. A family member purchased same model a year ago and loved it, so we gave it a try.

Only 4 weeks, and enjoying it more each day!

Pleasantly surprised, as I was reluctant to give up the car I'd been driving for over 23 years that truly had no issues, other than it being impossible to find parts. Getting to know the HR-V and enjoying driving it more and more each day. Not much highway driving, but so far (according to the instrument panel) averaging over 35 mpg, so that's a huge plus with gas prices going up by the day!

A nice little vehicle.

I wish the driver's seat adjustments were electronic and not manual. The driver's side head rest is not convenient for short people. Other than that it's a nice little vehicle

Our new Honda HR-V

This is our first all wheel drive. We've moved from NYC area there has been more snow here then we expected. Our salesman was not your typical salesman. He answered all of our questions And not pushy.

I'd buy it but center console is poorly designed

It is sturdy, feels good to drive, seats are comfortable and it's a Honda which are great cars. However, the first thing I did when I got in was to look for a place to put my phone, and there really wasn't any. There is a skinny "slot" to put my phone in, but if I miss the slot my phone is going to end up under my gas pedal. They have this underneath storage area where the USB ports are, but engaging with that and having to look under something will take your eyes off the road and cause an accident. Also I am short, and the cup holders are way too far back and my arm does not even come close to the arm rest. I really really loved this car but the center console is causing me to choose a different suv.
