first, i traded my CRV for this thing. I was never so upset, as i had done it on a whim. My other car was luxurious. But i went and traded for this one. No thank you, it was NOT good in the snow at all. i'm a very good driver. but one day slid right through traffic lights which were red on my side and ended up crossing the road, thankfully no one hurt. Another time i came around the bend to enter a major highway, and the car slid, and slid, and i hit the guardrail. I know people will say that it's a good road, but i traded it in, i was so upset . and will never do this again. Trade quickly , this car's value went down in 3/4 of a year by 6000$ so i was very very upset. No more HRV for me! Never again, and if someone asks , i will say Buyer beware!!! by the way, the reasons, i mentioned above accident, was this car, IS NOT HEAVY AND TERRIBLE IN THE SNOW!!

HR-V--OVERALL GOOD BUT...

Good overall value. Interior space and layout good. My LX model has fewer tech features, just essential items, nothing fancy, no sunroof to leak, etc. Suspension needs improvement. Ride on delivery date was very rough and bouncy. Ride home was about 25 mi, let tires cool overnite, found tire press to be 35 psi on all tires. Placard reads 32psi front, 30 psi rear. Reset tire press and ride improved slightly. Still too rough riding for a new car. Leased my suv 7/21/16, has 2000 mi as of 11/19/16. Currently, ride seems to be a little smoother, but still too rough/bouncy for a new car. Air cond seems under powered, cools but slowly and takes awhile to really cool car. I live in Hawaii and local temp is on avg- < 90 degrees. Tires are Michelins, which ride rough and are a little noisy at freeway speeds < 60 mph. I want to replace the michelins with goodyears for a smoother ride but its a lease car (3yrs/36,000 mi) so no sense buying another set of tires. However, if I had "Bought" the car, I definitely would sell the Michelins and get some Goodyears. After reading several buyer reviews about other service issues, poor dealer response, etc., I am glad I only have to deal with possible probs for 3 yrs, then turn in the car at lease end. Overall, the hr-v is a good value except for the poor ride. With my low expected annual mileage, I may not experience the range of issues reported by other owners. I did get an "Excess wear/tear" warr to cover me when I turn in the suv. I definitely would look at the mitsubishi outlander as a replacement suv. So, I hope I don't have probs or service issues like other owners. If things change, I will definitely update this review. So far, no probs. Perhaps a 3-yr lease/rtn is best. Keeping my fingers crossed for no probs!!

This model is just a little smaller than Honda CRV. Lots of versatility in cargo configurations. The Magic Seat is great! Very smooth ride and good pick up but if you need a little more, you just put it in the Sport Gear and Go! This was a 2 year old car but an upgrade from my 2007 Dodge Caliber. I didn't want a lot of extras on this car, that is why I chose the LX not the EX. I love this car - its a nice dark green too, which is not like everyone else's!

I loved my first ever 1995 Honda Accord and my 2009 CRV but I think Honda has never been the same since the Fukushima incident in 2011 and it shows with Consumer Reports ratings going down hill. I believe they lost some of their top engineers and production was a logistics nightmare. What was wrong with my new 2016 Honda HR-V? The inside of the rear hatch fills with water every time it rains, so when you open it you get a shower. There are many threads about this Major Flaw and there has been No Recall and good luck getting it fixed. The passenger rear door unlocks on occasion, when you hit the unlock button,...when it wants to. But the doors love to lock!! Like every 20 seconds! I've never had such frustration with doors...ever. It's laughably slow. It's slower than anything I've ever driven with a gas engine, other than my father's Toro riding lawn mower and it may actually be faster off the line!! The placement of the push-button parking brake is in a terrible place. It's right behind the gear shifter and it's super easy to accidentally hit. It was an afterthought. Speaking of putting it in Drive, there is no "click or mechanical engaged feel" between Park /Reverse /Neutral /Drive/Sport so nearly every time I go past drive and accidentally put it in sport, then go forward to put it in drive and it slides into neutral. Frusting as well. I've worked in the auto industry for 7 years and this is a first. Look up ATDS in Ontario California. We were the only company in North America conducting all of the quality control testing for Porsche of Stuttgart. I'm not an expert by any means but I know a few things about engineering. The HR-V is a budget vehicle and I get that, but it's a terrible budget vehicle and it's not really "that cheap". For the price of a new one just go get a slightly used Toyota/ Lexus or Mazda. My .02

We LOVE ours. The only thing I would change is the visibility of the headlights without high beams.
