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. After owning my HRV for 5 months, I am still pleased with it overall, but wish I had gotten leather interior instead of cloth. The cloth on the seats, headrests, and doors is not very high quality, and acts almost like a dirt magnet. It has also developed a loud squeaking/rubbing sound in the cab which I am having looked at by the dealer soon. I also wish the headlights were brighter, and the heating/AC system was stronger and more quickly responsive. I can definitely see/feel the difference in quality from my 2005 CRV EX, but still believe it is a good little car for the money. I have now owned my HRV for 18 months. I said it all in my 5 month review, though now I wished I had gotten heated seats and side mirror defrosters as well since the heater is not super strong and takes awhile to warm me and the car up. I assume because of the smallish engine. The squeaking/rubbing sound has resolved itself (?) so that's nice. I would buy this car again, it suits my budget and needs well. And, sits higher with better visibility than the Mazda 3 or other crossovers in it's class. Update: I have now owned the car for 27 months. As seems to be fairly common, my HRV has developed a loud rumbling rattle in the right rear. No one seems to be able to find the source, have had it on the rack at an alignment shop and a body shop. Dealer said they "can't hear it" when I made an appointment for 8am on a Saturday for servicing and to check it out. Said the car is safe and sound, so bring it back and be prepared to leave it for a long time so they can try and track it down. I almost feel like the dealer is waiting for the warranty to run out so they don't have to deal with it. Loved this little car in the beginning. I would not however buy anther one, which is a shame, this is my 5th Honda.

Poor body fit....

I have looked at 15+ of the 2016 Honda HRV's and have yet to find one that the body panels fit without having offsets. look at the area where the front of the front doors are near the front fenders both sides and you will see and feel the offsets, hopefully these can be adjusted/ aligned at the Dealerships before or after purchase. Have yet to purchase this Honda. Purchased soon after this review. Doors panels are made of cloth which soils and shows fatigue when touched, also center console and dash made with material that scratches very very easy. Have had HRV to the local Honda Dealership three or four times for dash rattles, next week will be another visit to the same Dealership for a different rattle which I have high hopes they can solve. Rear Bumper Cover is already very scratched and faded just from taking HRV to the Carwash, bumper cover is made is of very poor quality, this includes all black exterior parts but biggest issue is the rear bumper over. This additional issue has to do with the black parts that come in contact with and just between all of the door seals and all of the interior panels that are nearest the door seals have already faded making car already look OLD. Very unhappy with the rattles, rear cover, and almost all interior parts used in the 2016 HRV Model.

’16 Honda HRV, not bad, just good

After stalking and researching this vehicle for a year since its release in summer 2015, I finally own it… well it is financed. I must say I enjoy the car and everyone that has the opportunity to ride along with me always ask – is this a Honda CRV and always entertained or thinks the rear door handle location is pretty cool. PROS ** Fueling up is easy on the purse ** Space is more than sufficient for my 2 French Mastiffs or 3 adults and I. ** Miles per gallon is average on these Atlanta street and highways. I have not really got to the 33 mph, most I can get when oil quality is 50% of better is 28.6 MPG and when oil is at 40% 27.7 MPG. ** Bluetooth feature a plus, connects to my phone without any issues. ** Navigating out of a small space – exceptional – turning radius is on point. CONS ** Headlights illumination is not great when traveling up a slight to extreme incline; visibility covers about 5-10 feet ahead of your vehicle (could be more). The directional of the light appears more downward toward the pavement illuminating right below the license plate/bumper area if other vehicle. ** Seats are moderately comfortable but would not recommend for long distance road trips if you have back issues. ** Extremely bouncy on poorly paved roads ** USB port is not compatible with my android phone and it cannot be used as a charge port for mobile devise. ** Cabin noise is horrible on certain areas of the HWY in Atlanta when traveling 50 ++ mph, sounds like all the windows are down but in actuality all the windows are rolled up. ** Lining through the back of vehicle (floor panels) cheap. At the end of it all, it is mine and I will make the best of it but there is definitely room for improvement.

I am absolutely in love with this vehicle! It is the first brand new car that I have had and I absolutely made the right choice! I would not have wanted any other car after test driving this one! I bought it from Piedmont Honda in Anderson, SC and they were absolutely amazing! Before I started looking at this vehicle I was looking at a Honda Accord and then this vehicle caught my eye. I started to looking at it and I saw that it was very roomy. I test drove this car and after that there was no going back. I knew that I was leaving with this car. The price was not bad I thought for a brand new car of this quality. I have always heard fantastic things about Hondas and the reliability. Before this car, I had a Toyota and that was the biggest piece of crap I had ever had. Every time I turned around it was always needing something. This Honda is the best vehicle ever. I do not have kids yet, but when I do I know this car will still be great! It is awesome on gas. My boyfriend and I drive it everywhere and I can go a whole week without having to stop for gas and it cost no more than $25 to fill up. I highly recommend this car to anyone!!
