Very Happy with Honda HRV!

The HRV is not a fast car, but it has super-smooth acceleration. The steering is well balance, and it is very stable in turns. Braking is average, but somehow the car will stop very quickly in a panic. Driving the HRV is very easy overall, with no surprises. The AWD is awesome in snow, even on very icy roads. Gas mileage is excellent. And it's a Honda, so it will run and run and run.

This car is awesome

This car drives smoothly it is comfortable plenty of space in the inside and if you look at it from the outside it looks small but it's actually very roomy. Best car so far!

My first Honda

I was looking for something very specific, and the HR-V was the best fit. My handicapped elderly mom can get into the car and sit comfortably, there is plenty of room for her walker, and I'll be able to get a wheelchair in the backseat if/When I need to. Also important to me is the smaller SUV body style. Cute car!

Perfect size for me

I?ve had my new blue HRV for a week. I upgraded my 2009 CRV to the new HRV. The size is perfect for my 5 foot frame. I love that the back seats pull up for storage. The HRV is quiet and rides smoothly. I really enjoy driving it.

Very reliable.

This car is very easy to handle, and has a smooth ride. There are 3 hubs. Plenty of leg room both front and back. Car seats are a little snug, but comfortable. Glove compartment is larger than I have had in the past, great!

New Car

So far this car meets all my expectations. Going to take it for a longer drive today than just going to work and I am looking forward to the drive. I really do like it and just hope once winter hits again it meets those expectations.

Wonderful vehicle except...

I?ll start by saying I?m a long time Honda lover. I?ve had two civics and a CRV. I couldn?t wait to get an HRV! I had my ion it for year and a half before purchasing. I bought the EX because I fell in love with the keyless entry, heated seats and larger screen. This car is beautiful! However, from the day I bought it I?ve had excruciating back pain. The seats are very cheap. I?ve had to buy all kinds of memory foam cushions and lumbar supports to get it right but I finally am able to drive it without pain. That?s my only critique but it?s a big one because it really affected me.Im averaging 30mpg in town.
